That pretty much covers it. And yet we get criticized for liking her? Methinks that they're the crazy ones.

I agree - so what is wrong with liking a character that is so simple (yet so complex), and cute?:frankiesmile:

I never found Frankie to be complex, as I have said before. I always found her to be basically two things: "Simple and sweet". Now that's not a negative thing to say someone isn't complex. To me, Frankie just seems like just by looking at her, you already know everything you need to know.

She doesn't hide things or lie to people (aside from her mental breakdown with Goofball), or tries to be someone or something she's not (aside from, again same episode). Frankie is who she is. She dresses very casually and still proves to be an affectionate, kind, and caring person.

She doesn't drudge for hours trying to look good for someone else, or pretend to project a constant sexy/slutty look like most women do to get attention. She is who she is and she acts how she acts. Look at her date with Dylan, she knew that working at Foster's with imaginary friends was kinda touchy.

She was worried about making a bad impression, yet she didn't try any false identites or lie about where she works just to look good in front of her date. She loves where she works and I think her admitting it and trying to talk about it with Dylan shows that even when she's nervous, she's still honest.

"I never found Frankie to be complex..."

I was speaking figuratively. Have you heard the saying "it is so simple - that it is hard." Sure Frankie is simple, but the way we analyze her, is where the complexity comes in. I do understand what you are saying.:frankiesmile:

yeah, Frankie's character is perfect: non-materialistic, not worried about her looks all the time, showing real compassion, sympathetic, beautiful, and probably much more that i can't think of right now.

And jeez, when she went out with that @$%#! Dylan she was the one who was nervous!

Actually, I don't think she's perfect, which is why I like her so much.

Partymember 01-08-2007 12:28 PM

well, perfect in my view. She's what i'm looking for...surprisingly hard to find.

I think in a round about way, I was trying to say that. Boy, do I "editorialize" too much!8D

I'd really like to see more of Frankies friend, Karen is it? I'm sure that we would learn alot more about Frankie through her.

I think she's "perfect" in the sense that she has such strong appeal to us. To me, her flaws and shortcomings are part of that appeal, because they make her HUMAN instead of a cliched Mary Sue or "larger-than-life supermodel babe". That's part of her essence and wonderfulness. :frankiesmile:

You know what really gets me, is I have friends on other artist forums (that I am a member), and they all hound me about the "Good Wilt Hunting" scene where Douglas and Adam see a "busty supermodel" Frankie. They ask me: "what did you think of that?"
"Isn't that awesome?"
"Boy, wouldn't you want that?"

My response to them is I love Frankie for what she is, not what she can be. I was not really impressed with the "bimbo" Frankie. Frankie's imperfections are what attracted me to her in the first place.:frankiesmile:
