Franky is a trench-coat and platform-shoe wearing nerdy misfit—sometimes seen as eccentric, quirky, or a geeky outsider—yet fragile in her defiance. Shy and self-conscious, she hides behind freckles, elf-like ears, a button nose, and short reddish-brown hair, her side profile almost Gelfling-like. She writes notes on her hands, listens to vinyl on antique headphones, and feels safest when lost in creativity: photography, films, and the painstaking, awkward magic of stop-motion animation.
