Frankie was an orphan living in several foster homes, most of which were bad, developing dissociative identity disorder in the process. She soon was adopted by John and his wife, in which her illness worsened due to John's abusive nature.

Frankie began having dreams of her life in the Flashpoint timeline. Soon after, she began hearing voices from Alchemy and was told she could get what she wanted while gaining powers. Frankie initially thought she was going crazy because of this.

One night, after her John came home and demanded she and her foster mother prepare dinner, Magenta took over and harmed John with a lamppost.

The following day, Frankie was questioned by Joe West. Later, Julian Albert discovered that she was responsible for putting John in the hospital. When Albert demanded Frankie to admit it, Magenta took over Frankie and tore the Central City Police Department relief in an attempt to drop it on Julian. Magenta fled as the Flash rescued Julian. After the Flash confronted her and offered help, Magenta refused it and flipped a police car. As Barry rescued the officer, Magenta used the opportunity to escape once again.

Magenta confronted Alchemy, telling him that Frankie was still fighting for control. Alchemy then told Magenta that once she showed Frankie's foster father that Magenta was in control, Frankie would also.

Magenta used her powers to bring a tanker to kill John, though was thwarted by the Flash. After Jesse Quick came to the Flash's aid and kept the tanker from falling onto Central City Hospital, Magenta was confronted by the Flash. Magenta told the Flash that she wanted both her foster father and Frankie gone. Magenta was told that she shouldn't let her foster father destroy the good left in her. Magenta was then told that her father never forgave himself for his mistakes, and instead took it out on her and he couldn't move forward. She was then told that she could and what she was doing wasn't the way. Finally, Frankie stopped her actions and returned the tanker. Frankie then apologized as she cried into Barry's arms.

At S.T.A.R. Labs, Frankie was told her foster father was being prosecuted. Frankie then told Team Flash the origins of her powers. She was then told that Caitlin Snow had arranged for a better home waiting for her at Keystone City. When Frankie asked what would happen if Magenta tried to come back, she should fight it and call them if she needed help.
