Character Backstory- 'Frankie'

In order to clarify my Patchwork Pals story a little more, I've written up the backstory for the 'Frankie' character. This backstory has also led me to write an alternative opening to the screenplay, which is yet to be completed. Hopefully exploring the character more so will open the story up and make it considerably more interesting. It has also solved the issue I had with the first version of the screenplay, which was that it didn't really have a 'problem'. It was sort of just the character meandering from one place to another. Anyway, here is the short backstory I've developed for the character.

Frankie
  Frankie was always a fairly curious child. His personal pursuit of knowledge was far more appealing to him than the creation macaroni pictures and the consumption of PVA glue of which his peers were known to dabble in. It was only a matter of time before Frankie moved on to greater things.
  Of course, the growth of his mental capacity didn’t make up for the lack of growth in Frankie’s legs. You see, Frankie being a child five years, three months and sixteen days meant he’d barely be able to see over the pedestal when receiving his Nobel Prize. These height issues became increasingly apparent as his projects became more and more ambitious.
  Frankie’s tolerance towards his minute stature finally shattered when his height was restricting him from even reaching the tools in his laboratory. Instead of investing in a stepladder, Frankie chose to fit his workshop with something a little more… complimentary of the setting. Specifically, a taller, less intelligent servant, with a retro, sci-fi charm, employed for the sole purpose of fetching anything higher than Frankie could ever reach.
