Personality

Frankie is sweet, friendly, polite and athletic, but has a clumsy streak, as her body parts tend to fly off. She is most naive of all the girls, being only 15 days old, so she tries to learn all she can about the world through monster teen magazines. Despite setbacks, Frankie remains upbeat, hopeful and determined to find her place within Monster High. She can be insecure and react quickly, sometimes regretting her actions. Because of her young age, Frankie has not managed to find her favorite activity yet and wants to experience everything before she has to choose. Her favorite school subject, though, is History

In The Books

In the Monster High books, Frankie is the daughter of university professors Viktor and Viveka Stein, and a grandchild of the original Dr. Frankenstein. The first 15 days of her life is spent having basic world and academic knowledge downloaded into her head. She is taught to cover her "mint" green skin with makeup; hide her neck bolts with high collars, turtlenecks or scarfs; and has to wear a tracksuit for the rest of her body, in which Melody mention in the second book that her style of dress is 'worthy of a nun'. In the books, her hair is completely black, although her white streaks are later briefly created using peroxide. Frankie hates hiding who she is and makes many attempts to get humans to accept her for who she is. However, she eventually ends up exposing her RAD world to panicked humans and the rest of the RAD community want her excommunicated. At the end of the book, she befriends DJ and Melody, who support her and also want to help the RADs. By the second book, she's on house arrest like the rest of the RAD's, and most of the stuff she bought is taken away by her parents. When Brett got out of his shock (after the police declared Frankie's exploits as a prank) he and Melody thought of an idea, to help the RAD's coexist with the Normies, by making a movie 'Ghoul Next Door.' Later in the second book Frankie breaks up with DJ (Frankie was re-interested in Brett, and Holt's visits were prevented by Jackson). Both were relieved to hear that.

Friends

Frankie is good friends with Cleo de Nile

, BFF Clawdeen Wolf, Lagoona Blue, BFF Draculaura, Ghoulia Yelps and BFF Abbey Bominable. She still does not have a "best-friend" yet, but does not feel left out, either.

Almost always, Cleo and Frankie get along. Yet, sometimes, one of them jumps to the wrong conclusion and get mad at each other. For example, when Cleo gets mad at Frankie when Frankie (not knowing that Deuce Gorgon is Cleo's boyfriend) tells Cleo that Deuce is her boyfriend in the webisode, "New Ghoul at School". All the others (Clawdeen, Lagoona, Draculaura and Ghoulia) appreciate Frankie's company and to date, have never gotten mad at her for doing something to them. At one point in the webisodes, Abbey Bominable, a new ghoul at Monster High, is befriended by Frankie. Frankie's other ghoul friends think of Abbey as a mean ghoul and do not like that Frankie hangs out with her. When Abbey helps them in a time of trouble, though, the others become more accepting.

Pet

Frankie's pet is a dog hybrid named Watzit which her father constructed from the parts of other animals. In the books, Frankie has pet lab rats whom she calls the Glitterati; their names are Gwen, GaGa, Green Day, Girlicious and Ghost Face (judging by the names, the Glitterati consists of 3 females to two males). Only three of them made an apperance in New Ghoul @ School.

Love Interests

In the episode New Ghoul @ School, Frankie had a crush on Deuce Gorgon. This caused issues when she lied and told Deuce's real girlfriend, Cleo, that she was dating him. Cleo became very upset, thinking that Deuce had cheated on her, but the issue was later resolved when Frankie came forward with the truth and surprised Cleo with a Justin Biter concert. In HooDoo You Like? Frankie was concerned about being left out of the group for not having a boyfriend, and decided to make one for herself, creating HooDude. The ghouls explained that they would always be friends with her regardless of whether or not she had a boyfriend, and Frankie admitted that she didn't think that she was ready for boys just yet. In the later webisode Miss Infearmation Frankie develops a crush on Jackson Jekyll after saving him from being bullied by Manny Taur by threatening to tell his sister, Minnie Taur, about his behaviour and invites Jackson to come to Cleo's tomb party with her. She is upset when he doesn't show up in Hyde and Shriek, having turned into Holt Hyde before entering the party. She soon forms a crush on Hyde though, blushing at the nicknames that he gives her ('Freaky Fine' Stein, High powered hottie) and dances with him on the DJ Deck. Still likes Jackson. however, as of the most recent webisode, Phantom of the Opry, it appears Frankie may have feelings for Holt Hyde, too. And then in the next webisode The Berumda Love Triangle she has to pick who she likes Holt or Jackson because she's afraid there gonna fight over her. However in Here Comes Treble she along with a group of monsters see Jackson transform into Holt. In her School's Out Diary she has a crush on a Scottish gargoyle that plays Football. She calls him "7" since she cannot remember his name. In the books, Frankie had a crush on the monster-loving normie Brett Redding, however he was dating Bekka in the first book. As Brett was already taken, Frankie briefly dated DJ Hyde, but ended it in the second book because she was re-interested in Brett, and DJ's visits were prevented by Jackson. Then, in the third book, Brett ignores her and Billy comforts her and takes her to see Lady GaGa in concert (Brett offers to take her to see Lady GaGa and wants her back but she refuses) but when she thinks about it she prefers Brett. She is now dating Brett in the Monster High books, despite him being a normie.
