Description Over the past year or two, I've been commissioned to create some art for a fan-created tarot deck based around an old Scooby-Doo movie, The Ghoul School. Characters were updated, changed around a bit, and aged up to a highschool (-ish?) setting, including more students. I guess it's kind of a Monster High sort of thing? Anyway, here's some of the art I was commissioned to do.

To expand on her back story a little- Victor Frankensteins last gift to his creation was Elsa. There was a period of time between when the creature ran off with its mate and when they returned, asking for a favour. Frankenstein was reluctant at first as he had sworn off reanimating the dead but after hearing the story of how his creation and wife managed to build a stable life for themselves after struggling for so long ignited a flame of sympathy. His creatures, who took the identity of Mr. Adam and Mrs. Evey Frankenstein, had taken a variety of undesirable jobs in order to earn a living. This included shovelling horse leavings, janitor at institution for the incontinent, taste testing rat poison, coal miner, substitute canary and even assistant to canary. The monster couple now had a home, stable income and a somewhat peace with the local villagers. All that was missing was a child.


Dr. Frankenstein: You've come all long way haven't you my creation?


Adam Frankenstein: Yes but we made good time on train.


Dr: That's not what I was....never mind.


Adam: So, will doctor make me and wife child? We not be able to. We tried so many ways. We watch animals to get the idea of...


Dr: Yes! Yes! I understand.


Adam: We tried to adoption but stealing wrong. Me found out the hard way. Thankfully they miss by inch.


Dr: Yes I see that from the missing ear. I'll fixed that up too.


Evey: We practicing parenting by pretending on stray dogs. As soon as we figure holding them by the neck is wrong, we managed to keep one as long a two months before we learn it not good to toss in air when celling fan on.


Dr:........alright then. 


Before the Frankenstein would commence in his building of their child, he had three conditions. The first being it had to be a girl, since obtaining boy part like-you know- were a little hard to come by. Second was that he would get to name her. Thirdly they would have to sacrifice one their extra hearts to give to this child, in order for her to be truly theirs. The monster couple agreed and after some surgery, grave robbing, brain growing, a trip to the hardware store and finally a bolt of lighting, a child creature was made. She was green like her father, had the hair of her mother, bolts on her neck and a face of an cherub. Adam and Evey thank the Doctor., who was in a abstract sort of way, the child's grandfather and ask what her name was to be.


Dr: Baroness Elsa Pretorious-Frankenstein.


Adam: Why name her that?


Dr: Elsa was my late wife's name. I always wanted a granddaughter named Elsa but my son's children are all boys. So it pleases me that her name would live on.


Adam: I see. What about Pretorious?


Dr: Well it is to honour my mentor and collaborator Dr. Septimus Pretorius. As a man of science its only fitting I give credit were credits do, especially after he help create your wife Evey. Also unlike a man of science, I believe this will finally appease his ghost and he can finally move on and leave me alone!


Evey: That weird. What of Baroness?


Dr: It's an honorary title. Its to show that she comes from nobility but its probably a good idea only to use that for formal engagements. 


Adam: Why? You afraid it make her look pretensions or to dorky?


Dr: Both actually


So Adam and Evey take their new daughter back to their remote Swiss village and to their house, which happened to be a old windmill. Little Elsa grows up a happy child despite a few close calls by her well meaning but inept parents. The Dr. had the foresight to give Elsa not only a durable body but super human strength. This comes in handy when she is climbing on her fathers rickety tool shelf, playing with her mothers hair straightener in the bath tub while its still plugged in or the time in which they left her in the car when they parked on a steep incline and forgot the parking brake while they went to look for child safe toys . At least they left the windows up. But aside for the fact she was able to lift her fathers fallen crate of spare bolts, was her surprising intelligence. Climbing the tool shelf to get a wrench she needed tighten her own bolts, use the hair straightener to warm the cold bath water, as well as tuck and roll out of the car before it rolled into the lake. It would seem that the good Dr. also made sure Elsa was smarter then her parents. 


Elsa grew into adolescence and particle taught herself to read and write. The first book she ever read was about taxidermy. Then about the human body, the evolution of vertebrates, Origin of Species,Surgery 101 all in the same month. The Franken couple began to realize that their daughter was gifted more then when they were created. As such they didn't mind that she turned the upstairs into a laboratory, not unlike Dr. Frankenstein's. The windmill easily provided a renewable energy source so they didn't mind when she wired to house on wind power thus cutting their electric bill. They especially didn't mind that she created a satellite dish out of aluminium cans and giving them unlimited free tv. But they did mind was that she spent almost her whole time up their. Hardly coming down only to eat, only going outside to retrieve certain items for certain projects and the frequent animal noises that would come from up their.


Her parents would ask her to go outside and interact with others her age. She reluctantly complied. While her appearance would turn many heads, it was her particular way of interacting with others that got the towns folk talking. 


Random Teenage Boy: Umm hello, Miss..err...Franken..


Elsa: Frankenstein. Baroness Elsa Pretorius-Frankenstein.


Radom Teenage Boy: Oh ok. I don't see you around here that much? What are doing here.


Elsa: Social interaction. My parents insit that I do this at least every week now. You shall be my first.


Random Teenage Boy: Oh ok. Say you want to go to a party with me and my friends?


Elsa: What is your hat size?


Random Teenage Boy: Excuse me?


Elsa: What. Is. Your. Hat. Size?


Random Teenage Boy: I don't know. I don't often wear hats..hey! (Elsa pulls out tape measure and wrap it around his head)


Elsa: Hmm. Size 54cm. Fitted 6 3/4. Too small. Tell me. Will there be drinking at this party?


Random Teenage Boy: Well yes I...


Elsa: Alcohol destroys brain cells. Drinking at this age would deteriate a growing brain thus stunting its growth. 

Random Teenage Boy: Excuse me? Why do you want to know that?

Elsa: Important reasons but given your hat size I need not to explain. Goodbye.

Random Teenage Boy: What in the walking dead was THAT about?

Her overall demeanour came across cold and judgmental but just over all weird. The villagers begin talking about the girl they dubbed "Frankenteen" and rumours begin to spread about her being as amoral as her Grandfather, Victor Frankenstein. Then weird sorts of animals start popping up allover town, like a half pig half chimp creature rummaging through the trash at night, or hybrid fish that have crab claws or three headed ducks swimming in the pond. It would seem that the baroness's experiments got loose or perhaps unleashed. The Frankenstein's begin to feel that their daughter might not be getting the social interaction they were hoping for. Adam fears of history repeating itself and airs his grievances with his old friend who is non other then Count Dracula! Every now and then Dracula and Adam get together at some "guy time" at some old tavern that carters to ghoulish cliental. He drinks beer while the Count drinks....something else.

Adam: I very worried about her Count. She have more opportunities then I or her mother every had and she don't take advantage of them. She just sit there in her lab doing sciencey stuff. 

Dracula: Thats most unfortunate my friend. Its is tragic when children do not appreciate the gifts that their own parents give to them. Not unlike someone ELSE I could mention!

Adam: You have problem with child too?

Dracula: My youngest Sibella. Her behaviour has gotten out of control! Why she drives me to drink (gulps down drink) MORE! Thats is why i'm sending her to the special school that Vanna showed me. It looks like its worth a try despite the old Hippie that runs it.

Adam: School? What kid of school?

Dracula: Some boarding school for girls like Sibella. Its not like a vampier academy, it has all sort of other creatures. Vanna says it might help her balance out her feeling or whatever that means?

Adam: School hmmm? You have pamphlet I look at?

Dracula: Actually I do. (hands it over to him)

Adam: HMMMM? School have other girls. Girls like Elsa. Make friends there. Maybe this answer to problem.

Dracula: Lets hope so. Bartender! Another Red Russian please.

Barkeep: Sorry Count but we are all out of Russians.

Dracula: Ok then a Red Ukrainian.

Barkeep: Sorry, out too.

Dracual: Ok what do you have left back there? Hungarian? Czek? Slovakian? Heck, i'll even take a Pole!


Adam comes bak home and talks it over with his wife. She is unwilling to let her daughter go abroad but after he reminders her that they were selling torches half price at the local stores she finally comes around. Elsa who is working in her lab, is interrupted by her father who tries to convince her to go to this place.

Elsa: Papa please. I've already mastered Grandpapa's work. What could some finishing school possibly teach me?

Adam: It teach you to like other people. They not judge you or burn you with fire.

Elsa: That has never happened to me.

Adam: It happen to me! It can happen to you! This school might help prevent that. Turn villagesr around and become merry neighbours, not angry mob.

Elsa: That implies there is something wrong with ME and there is NOTHING wrong with ME!

Adam: (sigh) Just thought I make suggestion. You stuck up here in lab all time. Me thought you would like it. Well I go to work now. Canary riding my back! (lumbers away disappointed)

Evey: Elsa! Papa only try to help you. Why you rude need to be?

Elsa: I didn't mean to be rude mama. I just don't see the reason that I should be hauled off to some boarding school. I've accomplish so much here. Look what I have built here.

Evey: You taught self when papa and I couldn't. You build lab from nothing. You make like Doctor make only smaller and furrier. That impressive but what it worth when you can't share joy? Papa and I were made for each other. We make joy as much we could from nothing. We work jobs so we earn living. We give hearts so that you can live. It hurt most time but when we have joy we share it with each other. 

Elsa: I..well...

Evey: Your papa have old saying. Friend good. Alone bad. He might not be smart like Grandpapa but he right cause he went out into world and discovered it for self. He wouldn't have us if he thought like you do now. Please just give school second thought.
 
As her mother leave Elsa slumps back in her chair. She removes her goggles and looks at her lab. The generators. The computers, The beakers and the test tubes and all the un-godly critters floating in her vats. She thinks back to all the times she was in here. All the horrendous experiments, pack working limbs, chemical mutations, bolts of lightning to dead things. All the fires! All those wonderful memories and only she can have them. It makes her feel hallow. She slumps back up and looks at the pamphlet her father brought her.

Elsa: Hm?. Grimwood?

Nope, I see more of Frankie (Frankenstein's Monster) in Elsa than I see Dr. Pretorious

Her hairstyle is from her mother via Dr Pretorious. Thank God she doesn't look like Pretorious, unless she needs her noes to double as a phillips head screwdriver.

Also thank God she doesn't have the same personality as Pretorious. In fact, she seems to have more of the Monster's gentle giant personality

I'm also curious on how Elsa's last name went from Frankenstein to Frankenteen?

My guess is that before she came to Grimwood's, she changed her name; upon remembering how much people seemed to fear/revile the name of Frankenstein over the years

I always thought it was just a nickname that some of the villagers labeled her. I mean she could not hide the fact that she had bolts sticking out of her neck or stitching on her limbs. The outrageous hair due for goodness sake. I don’t believe she is ashamed of being a Frankenstein.
