Harvey Heidelberg

Harvey Heidelberg is the daughter of Frank and Wendy Heidelberg, and the sister of Ronnie Heidelberg. She is an athletic girl in Mr. Larry's third grade class at Maroon High School.

Physical appearance
Harvey is an anthropomorphic goat with a brown complexion. She wears white uniform shirt (her clips are red in the books, but yellow in the cartoon show).

Family
Francine lives with her father, mother and sister, Catherine, in Apartment #3 at Westboro Apartments, with the least amount of living space compared to her friends' homes. She also has a pet cat named Nemo. Francine's extended family (including Bubby) has been seen on a few occasions such as in Arthur's Perfect Christmas, "Background Blues", and "Is That Kosher?". Her father works as a garbage man at the Elwood City Dump, which embarrassed her. Her mother is unemployed and usually stays at home. She is constantly jealous of Catherine for being a more advanced horseback rider ("Francine Frensky, Olympic Rider") and acrobat ("Francine's Big Top Trouble"). She and Catherine also argue over room decorations, letting Catherine move into the living room ("Francine Redecorates"). However, Catherine can be sometimes helpful to her. Her family does not often spend enough time together, although they do enjoy bowling ("The Frensky Family Fiasco"). Her father sometimes calls her "Franky." ("I Don't Want to Wake Up")

Due to her family's poverty, they were unable to replace her old bike she had since outgrown and are left with no choice but to ride her father's old bike that had seen better days, and discard it (which she claims was stolen until she tells the truth). Finally, her father finds it and manages to restore it. ("Stolen Bike")

They are a Jewish family who celebrate Hanukkah in Arthur's Perfect Christmas and Yom Kippur in "Is That Kosher?".

Friends

 * Charlie Rice - Charlie is one of Harvey's best friends. Though they are best friends, Francine seems to always pick on Charlie, such as calling him a "four-eyes" when he first gets glasses in Arthur's Eyes and a "baby" for not having lost a tooth in "Charlie's Tooth".
 * Susie Miller - Harvey and Susie met during second grade and became best friends when they found out they had the same middle name, Abby.
 * Tom Miley - Tom is a frequent annoyance of Harvey, but they maintain a good friendship anyway.
 * Phil Farmer - Phil plays with Harvey, Mary, Macy and Mrs. Becky as U Stink in "Charlie - It's Only Rock 'n' Roll".
 * Mary Jones - Mary plays with Harvey, Phil, Macy, and Mrs. Becky as U Stink in "Arthur - It's Only Rock 'n' Roll". In "Draw!" Harvey insults Mary by calling her a "hasmter."
 * Brian Ball - They are on the same basketball team, yet they argue in "The Big Blow-Up". Francine tries to give the Brain tips for TV in "And Now Let's Talk to Some Kids", but he's working on his science project.
