The Contestant is the main protagonist of Finding Frankie, serving as the character the player controls throughout the game.
The Contestant is a human, clad in a plastic Frankie mask and a white and grey jumpsuit with red gloves and sneakers, and a red bowtie printed on the chest. It is unknown what the Contestant looks like without the jumpsuit.

The Contestant is a stand in for the player, so there aren't too many personality traits that can be made out.

From what is shown, the contestant is very agile, being able to run, jump, and slide through the obstacles (and away from bloodthirsty monsters) with ease. Their motivation for getting onto the show seems to be out of desperation for the cash prize.
