Victor Frankenstein was; in life, an Egomaniacal bastard who refused to take responsibility for his creations nor did he take responsibility for their birth. However, after he died, his notes managed to make their way into the hands of several individuals who tried and failed to replicate his experiment.

Only, one scientist managed it in 1896.

Doctor Henrich Lichtman was a German scientist who; like Pygmalion, was looking for the perfect woman. Unlike Pygmalion, however, he wasn't content to make a statue of Marble. He wanted to make a woman from scratch. So he managed to conjour up one through Doctor Frankenstein's notes. Initially, Henrich tried to make the woman love him but the closest he got to an emotional connection was his construct latching her hands around her neck and throwing him out of the 3rd story window of his home and onto the hard pavement of Berlin's streets.

The creature who up to now had been nameless ran into the darkness, fleeing from the civilised world of man and into the forest. From there, she travelled from town to town and city to city, avoiding the main routes and only approaching people when necessary. Some were unnerved by her tall appearance and others found her worthy of pity. Over time, she learnt how to write, read and speak and managed to find some temporary employment at the docks but this was a mix of trial and error as she had to escape from town whenever she got into trouble. Sometimes, trouble came to her and tested her skills.

10 years later, The creature found herself at a campfire, talking to a strange man in the Swiss Alps. One who offered her a deal to find her place in humanity and learn what it meant to be human. The creature gladly accepted and was not only given her first ability but also a name. Franklyn or Frankie. Now she's been transported into a world she doesn't recognise in a place where everything feels wrong but regardless of the strangeness of it, she gave a promise to risk her life so it can be better.
