Frankie Driscoll
'the most unwanted boy in town'
age: 17
born: October 24th
zodiac sign: Scorpio
catchphrase: 'well fuck me i guess'
favourite ride: The Ferris Wheel
tw: mentions of s/h, the Coat Hanger method, gender dysphoria, su!cidal thoughts
His mother barely talked to him -she didn't want him in the first place, why should she act like it now?-, his father was nowhere to be found after he got told he would be a father, and his older brother moved out of town before he could even meet him, leaving Frankie and his mother in a lonely, loveless house.
As Frankie grew older, he realised he didn't exactly feel right in his body. His voice was too high, his shoulders weren't broad enough, and his boobs were... boobs. Then he realised that his (dead)name didn't feel right either. So, after some intense googling and buzzfeed quizzes, Frankie came out as trans. His mother seemed pretty unfazed when she found out she had a son instead of a daughter. Sure, Frankie was happy she didn’t go all ape-shit transphobic on him and kick him out, but deep down it just reminded him that she didn’t really care about him.

While his home life was average, he was still trying to decide whether school was better or not. There were transphobes and homophobes, but normally they didn't bother Frankie, not paying that much attention to him. He didn't have many friends, but after joining the school's choir, school definitely wasn't as bad as it had been before. Over time, he actually became friends with some of the other choir members (despite Frankie overthinking everything and convincing himself that they were only being nice to him out of pity).
Then came the day of the fall fair...
other facts about Frankie
is unlabelled, polyamorous and demiromantic
demiboy (ftm)
uses he/they pronouns
favourite colours are yellow and pink, but he tells everyone it's blue (gender norms in society fucked him up real bad)
became friends with Constance first, who then introduced him to her friends and the rest of the choir
tried learning some sign language to be able to say 'hello' to Ricky just to be polite, but over time he liked it so much that he and Ricky could have hour long conversations using sign language
eventually developed small crushes on Noel, Ricky and Mischa but didn't tell anyone (took that secret to his grave-)
alto (only likes to sing when he knows no one can hear them or if he's in a group of people)
mainly gets c's and c-'s in class, either not being interested enough to pay attention, or genuinely having no idea what the subject was about
wants to get diagnosed for autism, but is too scared to talk about it to anyone
fav artists are Cavetown, Will Wood, Queen, Conan Gray, Maya Hawke and Sushi Soucy (secretly loves Taylor Swift)
awkward with a capital A
cuts his own hair (impulsively, most of the time)
in social situations he mainly avoids talking, but by god if he sees an opportunity to make a 'ur mom' joke he will fucking take it
rides his bike everywhere since he doesn’t want his mum taking him anywhere
gets really bad chest dysphoria, so the second he bought a binder he would literally only take it off when he needed to sleep
draws on his hands all the time
doesn't believe in zodiac signs, and gets pissed when people ask for his zodiac sign and then start making assumptions about him
always has his nails painted black
zero self preservation
has really bad coping mechanisms and digs his nails into their arms when they're stressed or upset
sometimes he wishes his mum succeeded in aborting him
when his family heard the news that Frankie had died, his mother fell into a deep depression, and never left the house, not even for the funeral, too guilt ridden to show her face anywhere. However, his brother (along with his newborn son) came back into town for the funeral, saying he felt bad for not being able to meet his little brother, even naming his son after Frankie.
