Profile Picture

Francine thinks she can do anything and catch any animal, that is until she met the ghost raccoon. It is unlike any animal. It screams, and it might even be a ghost. Francine can't seem to catch it. After a devastating fall that leaves her left leg and right arm in a cast and her neck in a brace, Francine gives up. That's when Frank and Stella come into the picture. While Francine is working as a cashier at Clyde's Bait, Feed, Tackle, and Animal Necessities, Frank and Stella come into the store. Frank reminds Stella of who she is. All Stella really wants is some candy.
