Good-natured but a little dumb. She is the first Pink Lady who tries to help Sandy feel welcome. Heavily made-up, fussy about her appearance-particularly her hair. Frenchy can't wait to finish high school so she can become a beautician. Eventually she drops out of high school to attend beauty school. One of the most memorable of all of the Pink Ladies. Work on your cute pixie-ish character voice and New Yawk accent. Maybe watch Youtube clips of Ellen Greene playing Audrey from the movie version Little Shop of Horrors for inspiration.
