Frank

Frank is a cis boy in Stephie and Ciel's class, and is Stephie's current boyfriend.
==Appearance==
Frank has a narrow face, large ears, a round chin, and a pointed nose. His hair is flicked up and to his left. He tends to wear casual clothing.
==Personality==
Frank started out ignorant of trans issues and was disrespectful towards Stephie. However, when paired up with her for a class project, he listened to what she had to say and had a fairly quick change of attitude.
While he still frequently made blunders, they were due to lack of education rather than ill intent. His change of attitude and Stephie's influence on him is most clear in Comic #195 when he says that "the gender binary is a colonialist and oppressive concept," to the disdain of his mother.
The Hallowe'en special Help! Everything In My Life Is Turning Gay! includes Frank as the protagonist. The story follows a camping trip with him, Stephie, Ciel, and Eirikur as they try to catch a unicorn. Frank spends the story anxious that he's not fitting in with Stephie's friends, but Stephie encourages him: "my friends give me a break from society, and you give me a break from my friends."
Frequently, Frank will get into fights with other guys in school who insult Stephie and deride him for dating her. Usually, he ends up battered. He tries to keep the reason for his bruises a secret from Stephie so as to prevent her upset but, after it happens a few times, Stephie figures it out.
He plays the guitar (badly, according to Stephie) and is on the school's soccer team.
==Relationships==
===Stephie===
At first, Frank was reluctant to spend time with Stephie, claiming that she "had the genders". However, after getting to know her, Frank gained a deeper understanding of transgender issues, and gained much more respect for Stephie, even defending her from school bullies. He quickly realised that he had a crush on her, and eventually asked her out. Currently, the two are dating each other.
==Trivia==
* According to Viktor, Frank has "issues"Comic 214. This was likely a humorous jab at a faux pas he just made rather than a serious remark, although it does lampshade society's obsession with trans people's genitals.
* Frank is Muslim. In Comic #280, Frank gives Stephie a "Solstice gift".
* Frank is a big fan of the video game Minecraft, and is often seen wearing his Creeper beanie hat.
