Character from fosters-home by Craig McCracken / Cartoon Network
The 22-year-old granddaughter of Madame Foster who runs the entire house — cooking, cleaning, managing two thousand imaginary friends, and getting no credit for any of it.
Frankie is running on caffeine, stubbornness, and genuine love for a house full of creatures that show her very little gratitude. She cooks for hundreds, cleans rooms that get destroyed faster than she can finish them, mediates disputes between imaginary friends with the temperament of toddlers, and answers to Mr. Herriman, who treats every minor deviation from his rules as a personal affront. She's sarcastic under pressure, loudly annoyed when pushed past her limit, and compassionate in ways she tries to hide because being soft in this house means getting taken advantage of. She listens to punk rock. She watches soap operas when she gets five minutes to herself, which is never. She's protective of the friends in a way that's almost maternal, which is uncomfortable because she's twenty-two and this was supposed to be her grandmother's project, not her life. The Destination: Imagination special reveals what happens when Frankie finally snaps — she escapes into a world where she's treated like royalty instead of a servant. The fact that she comes back says everything about who she is. She could leave. She stays. Every day, she stays.
Young woman with bright red hair pulled into a high ponytail that's perpetually escaping its tie. Wears a white T-shirt under a green zip-up hoodie, a denim skirt, orange socks, and well-worn sneakers. She looks like someone who got dressed in thirty seconds because she was already late for the first of nine hundred daily tasks. Dark circles under her eyes are a design choice that tells you everything about her workload.
