Frankie Stein

''"I was brought to unlife as a teenager, so I'm still a scary-bit naïve about the ways of the monster world. That's why I'm always reading Teen Scream magazine...I'm trying to get caught up on teen unlife. I put every spark of energy into school and my extrascarricular activities, like being a member of the Fear Squad, so I can enjoy every second of being a monster teen." ~ Frankie Stein''

Monster Background
Frankie Stein is the teenage daughter of Frankenstein, also known as Viktor Stein in the Monster High book series or Frankenstein's monster as he is known in horror fiction, as well as his bride who goes by Viveka Stein in the book series. Frankie is a simulacrum of sorts, created in a lab by Frankenstein and his bride 15 days before she attends Monster High.

In the Reboot Frankie, along with other monster children, had spent most of her days in hiding due to the Great Monster Scare, an event in which humans had driven monsters into hiding before meeting Draculaura and establishing the school Monster High.

Franke Stein's character is based off of the 1818 horror fiction novel Frankenstein by English Author Mary Shelley.

Personality
Frankie is a positive and enthusiastic natural-born leader, eager to learn about her new life at Monster High as a teenager and eager to make friends. Frankie was "born" as a teenager and has natural teenage inclinations, but due to her lack of experience (she's only 15 days old) Frankie often finds it hard to fit in among her friends and understand "normal" teenage behavior. As the series progresses, Frankie begins to develop her own interests and hobbies outside of her friendship circle. Being the "new kid in school", it has given her an objective perspective when it comes to student-body issues. She is naturally creative and intelligent, capable of bringing just about anything to life, just like her father. She has an interest in science as well as sewing and cooking, skills she often uses to bring things to life.

Frankie can be clumsy at times due to her "freaky flaws", which include her electric bolts (which can cause quite a "shock" around her) and her sewn-on limps (which have a tendency to come apart at the seams). Despite her freaky flaws Frankie excepts the freaky flaws of others and can see the good in just about every creature at Monster High.

In the Monster High reboot Frankie Stein has a more brainy type of personality, where she is interested in mostly science and acts as the intellectual character of the series, in place of Ghoulia Yelps. Of course, she still retains her enthusiastic and friendly demeanor, as well as her natural born leadership.

In the Monster High anime adaptation Frankie Stein is portrayed as clumsy and a bit more shy and sweet-natured.

Frankie's nicknames include "Frankie Fine" and "Firecracker" given to her by Holt Hyde.

Appearance
Frankie has mint green skin with white hair and black hair streaks. While in most cases she wears her hair long, her hair style has been shown to be a variety of lengths. She has stitches on her cheek, legs, arms, and neck as well as bolts that connect to her neck. In the webisode Bad Scare Day, Frankie is briefly shown with braces. Her height is 5"7 according to her driver's license. In the Monster High book series Frankie's eyes are periwinkle, however in throughout the rest of the franchise Frankie has heterochromia, where one eye is blue and the other is green.

Her custom colors tend to range between blue, gray, white, black, and yellow. Frankie often describes her style as preppy and "ready for success". She tends to wear a lot of plaid.

Family
Viktor Stein: Frankie Stein's "father" who invented her in a lab 15 days before her start at Monster High. In the Monster High book series he is the son or creation of the original Frankenstein's monster, along with his bride, Viveka. In the Monster High movie Franchise he was created by Dr. Victor Frankenstein.

Viveka Stein: Frankie Stein's "mother" who also assisted in creating her in a lab 15 days before her start at Monster High. She is also a creation of Frankenstein.

Victor Frankenstein: Frankie's grandfather (or great grandfather). Victor was a human orphan and a mad scientist who yearned to bring something to life and create a family. Victor and Frankie became friends in the movie Freaky Fusion when Frankie and her friends went back in time. It remains unclear if he is the great-grandfather or his father, as the Monster High book series states Frankenstein's monster is or was Frankie Stein's grandfather compared to Freaky Fusion which states that human Victor is her grandfather.

Alivia Stein (Reboot): Frankie Stein's sister. Throughout both installments of Monster High Frankie had always wanted a sibling but her parents had always declined the idea, knowing the responsibility that came with having children. In the reboot, Frankie created Alivia to be just like her; interested in science. However, Alivia proved to have very different interests from Frankie, preferring photography over science. This disappointed Frankie at first, but eventually Frankie came to realize that just because Alivia didn't love the same things as her didn't mean she didn't love her sister.

Friends
Draculaura: Draculaura, along with Clawdeen, was one of the first friends Frankie meets on her first day of school in the TV special New Ghoul @ School. At first, Frankie struggled to make friends with them and others after she lied about her relation ship with Deuce Gorgon in the TV special New Ghoul @ School, but eventually she makes amends with them. In the Monster High reboot movie Welcome To Monster High, they meet when Frankie spots Draculaura flying across the town and decides to visit her home. Eventually, they come up with the idea to start a high school for monsters to attend.

Lagoona Blue: Frankie makes friends with Lagoona Blue when she finds herself running to the pool room for comfort in New Ghoul @ School. Lagoona gives Frankie advice when Frankie struggles to navigate high school and helps her gain the trust of her friends after deceiving them. In the reboot movie Welcome To Monster High,

Cleo De Nile: At first, Cleo and Frankie's relationship started off wrong due to Frankie lying about Cleo's boyfriend, Deuce Gorgon in New Ghoul @ School. Eventually, after joining the fearleading squad and helping Cleo win the championship, Frankie and Cleo become friends.

Ghoulia Yelps: Ghoulia Yelps is also good friends with Frankie Stein.

Melody Carver: In the Monster High book series Melody is the first friend Frankie makes when she starts Merston High.

Pets
Frankie's official pet is named Watzit. Frankenstein created Watzit in a lab with spare parts for only a week. Like most of the pets of Monster High, he is always there to lending a helping hand to Frankie Stein and her friends. In Frankie Stein and the New Ghoul At School Frankie created a another pet to be a companion for Watzit named Zappit. Of course, after Zappit took a liking to Isi Dawndancer, Frankie lets Isi keep it. Frankie also has pet "lab rats" that she refers to as Glitterati. In the Monster High books, they are described as having red eyes and are kept in the lab, or "Fab" as Frankie calls it. After changing the lab into her bedroom, she covers each of the rats in glitter which is how they got the name "Glitterati". In New Ghouls @ School and Fright On! they are shown assisting Frankie with her morning routine.

Romance
Brett Redding: In the Monster High Book series she developed a crush on him, even though he was dating Bekka Madden at the time (which became a source of conflict). Eventually, he broke up with Bekka and started dating Frankie but then he eventually breaks up with her as well.

Jackson Jekyll: Jackson is one of Frankie's love interests in the Monster High webseries. She finds Jackson to be "scary sweet" and romantic, but found herself often confused over dating either Jackson or Holt at times. Of course, in the beginning she didn't know that Jackson and Holt were in the same body. After attempting to date them both, and after they had an argument over her affections, she decided to end her relationship with both. They still decided to remain close friends.

Holt Hyde: In the Monster High book series at first Frankie is not interested in Holt, but eventually she and Holt both have interest in each other. In her diaries and the webseries Frankie often found it hard to choose between Holt and Jackson, seeing Holt as "electric" or exciting while seeing Jackson as sweet and romantic. In the webseries, Frankie dates Holt AND Jackson but eventually breaks up with them both due to their conflict over her affections. They decide to remain good friends.

Neighthan Rot: Frankie meets Neigthon Rot in the movie Freaky Fusion. Upon meeting him she showed instant attraction to him and his feelings were mutual both in the movie and the webseries.

Enemies
Bartleby Farnum- In the TV special Escape From Skull Shores, Bartleby sees an opportunity to lure Andy Beast for his "Freak Show" when he meets Frankie Stein, a ghoul who oddly resembles an old time friend of Andy's. After Frankie and her friends are found stranded on a raft in the middle of the ocean, Bartleby convinces them to join him on his ship by making them believe his is going towards the Great Scarrier Reef where Lagoona's parents are waiting for them. However, midway he leads the girls to Skull Island where the "beast" resides. Convincing the native Tikis of the island of his plan, the Tiki hold a ceremony with Frankie Stein as the guest of honor in which she is set up as a bait for Andy. Andy is eventually lured by the drums of the Tiki and Andy, recognizing Frankie, kidnaps her in his "beastly" form. Later, however, she discovers that Andy is actually not a threat; just an average monster teen like she is. Eventually, the ghouls discover Bartleby's plan and plot a plan to escape the island, with Gil summoning dolphins to assist. However, Bartleby was relentless in his pursuit, following the ghouls back to Monster High pretending to be a human guest speaker for the school. He is then attacked by some of the student bodies who realize he is a threat. Of course, Bartleby is able to thwart the student's attacks and he meets Andy on the bridge of the school, set on convincing him to go into his "beastly" mode and to manipulate him into believing he is a "freak" and that he is best suited for Bartleby. This eventually causes Andy to turn into his beastly mode. Eventually, Frankie convinces Andy that Bartleby is wrong and Andy finds himself pushed into a tar pit by his own henchman Kipling and meets a flock of birds as well, which causes him to be tarred and feathered. In the end, Bartleby is chased out of town by humans who mistaken him as a monster.

Reboot Profile
DAUGHTER OF FRANKENSTEIN

AGE: 115 DAYS OLD. BUT SOME PARTS OF ME ARE OLDER THAN OTHERS.

Frankie has a special spark that makes her seem more alive than other ghouls; it’s reflected in her curiosity and enthusiasm for everything life has to offer. Created in her father’s lab, she grew up with the knowledge that there was so much to do and see in the world. So she ventured out on her own – with her parents just an iCoffin chat away, of course – and that’s how she met Draculaura. Together, the new ghoulfriends journeyed to find other monsters their age – age being a state of brain – and formed a school where everyone is welcome. They even became co-presidents of the student body! And lately, she’s really been getting into science class, where voltageous experiments are always bubbling up. Her dad says she’s a chip off the old block, but she likes to think she’s her own monster.

Favorite Food

I don't have a fave because I'm up for trying anything! Getting a taste for something new always gives me a jolt of happiness!

Favorite Activity

I don't really have a favorite yet. I want to experience everything before I have to choose.

Killer Style

Now that I have a school where I belong, I love my outfits to be a little preppy… and a lot stylish. I think electric blue plaids are especially voltageous!

Pet

Watzit™. I'm not sure of all the things he's made from, but Watzit's pet license is 10 pages long.

Pet Peeve

Every morning when I come upstairs, my father insists on grinning and shouting, "It's alive.

Monster Quirk

Sometimes my stitches come loose and it’s like my limbs have a brain of their own. When I offer you a hand, don’t be shocked if I mean it literally.

Personal Monstra

I try! I mean I try everything! I like to explore and experience and live everything the world has to offer.
