Description[]
Weird Girl doesn’t fit in well with the other kids. She delivers ominous pronouncements in a monotone voice with an unnerving stare. Her constant companion is her fluffy white cat Mr. Whiskers, whose unblinking gaze matches her own. The other kids give them a wide berth—especially when Weird Girl rambles about Mr. Whiskers’ dreams.
Appearances[]
Frankenweenie[]
Weird Girl is first seen attending class with the other students at the New Holland Elementary School along with other students at Mr. Rzykruski's class and when Bob gives out a topic of New Holland being built on an abandoned gold mine, Weird Girl replies about New Holland being a place where the miners were buried since the town's creation. She later replies to Nassor that the place with the windmill is definitely a cemetery. After class ends, Victor later approaches Weird Girl she tells him that her pet cat Mr. Whiskers had a dream about him last night, thinking that something big might happen just as Victor finds no interest in her before returning home. Weird Girl later watches Victor participating during a baseball game where she sits with her pet cat on the bleachers which Victor suddenly gets a home run only for Sparky to retrieve it, due to Sparky coming loose from the bleachers.
When learning that Victor managed to bring Sparky back to life through the use of lightning, she, Toshiaki, Edgar, Nassor and Bob end up copying his research to try and win the upcoming science fair with their own revived animals. As the Weird Girl returns home, her par cat Mr. Whiskers delivers her a bat corpse while his owner plans to revive it. As lightning strikes the butterfly decoration, it not only electrocutes the bat but also Mr. Whiskers as well, followed by Were-Rat, the Sea-Monkeys, Colossus, and Shelley. Weird Girl then notices her pet cat who mutated into having characteristics of a bat just as her pet cat flies away. She later appears arriving at the fair where she notices Mr. Whiskers who was mutated into a bat grabbing Persephone, worried of what Mr. Whiskers is doing. She makes no further appearances after that.
