Frankie Stein

Frankie Stein is one of the fictional characters in Monster High. She is also one of the Monster High fashion dolls. Frankie is related to the monster Frankenstein and (in the Monster High Books) is the daughter of Vicktor and Viveka Stein.
Personality
Frankie is sweet, friendly, polite and athletic, but has a clumsy streak, as her body parts tend to fly off. She is the 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 and her least favorite is Swimming. Frankie's biggest pet peeve is when every morning her father insists on grinning and shouting, "It's Alive!".
Description
Frankie has long black and white hair styled in jagged streaks. She has light, mint-green skin. In volume 2 of the Monster High webisodes, her hair is straighter than it previously was. She has one green eye and one blue eye, a condition known as Heterochromia. However, this is most likely because of being assembled from different people, instead of genetics. Frankie has visible stitches all over her body, like on her wrists, arms, ankles and legs. There is a bolt on each side of her neck. In some webisodes, Frankie displays the ability to command electricity, absorbing it via her neck bolts and causing things to get pretty freaky.

Classic Monster
Frankie is the child of Frankenstein's monster and his bride, as seen in James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein. The influence of her parents can be seen in Frankie's skin color, stitches and neck bolts (like her father) and in her hair and red lips (like her mother). Frankie also has a fondness for the lightning bolt symbol, which is seen frequently in the films as a method to animate the monster. According to Frankie's diary (and in the Monster High books), though, her father is Victor Frankenstein himself. She states that the bride chose him over his monster.
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.
Relationships
Family
Frankie lives with both her parents in "a house that looks like a cross between a Swiss Chalet and a research lab". Her father is a scientist and both her parents treat her like she is very young; which she is because she is only 15 days old. Still, they are kind to her as she learns about the world around her.
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. Frankie also owns seven sparkling rats that she refers to as the Glitterati. In the books, they are lab rats of her father's that she throws glitter on. They also appear in the television specials helping Frankie getting ready for the day.
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. Frankie then rejects HooDude who instantly springs to life, mourning over their break-up. Frankie still has no interest in HooDude, but he still pursues her.
In her second diary, she has a crush on a Scottish gargoyle that plays football. She calls him "7" since she cannot remember his name.
In the later webisode "Miss Infearmation" Frankie develops a crush on Jackson Jekyll after saving him from being bullied by Manny Taur. Frankie invites Jackson to Cleo's party, but he seems to have stood her up. Unknown to her at this point in the webisodes, Holt Hyde, the party's DJ, is actually the alter-ego of Jackson Jekyll. Frankie initially likes Jackson over Holt, until Jackson seems to stand her up on their dates. She begins to realize she likes both of them and stresses over having to choose between the two. In "Here Comes Treble", Frankie learns that Holt and Jackson are actually each others' alter-egos and reveals the truth to them. Unfortunately, Holt and Jackson are so preoccupied in fighting over who is the better personality, Frankie feels that there is not enough room for her and places their relationship on pause.
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 mutually ended it in the second book because she was re-interested in Brett, and DJ's visits were prevented by Jackson. After the RADs documentary airs uncensored, Brett goes into hiding and seems to ignore Frankie. The RADs begin to question if Brett was a traitor and used Frankie to get close to them. In the third book, Billy Phaidin comforts the broken-hearted Frankie who still misses Brett. Upon finding out that Brett did not betray the RADs and that he is in fact hiding from the paparazzi, Frankie realizes who it is she really wants and starts dating Brett again.
