Francis

Bio

Francis was born the youngest of 8 children, and unfortunately, was also born the weakest. Because of this, she was abandonded by her parents and left alone until she followed a young Ekko around in the forest a few weeks later. Since then, Captain Oleander took her in, and has been raising her along with the other random children he feels sorry for. Francis, who is no good at fighting, reads all the books she can get her hands on. She even helps Captain arrange the maps, and learns how to create her own with Rex. Surprisingly, they make a good pair, but that's probably because they're both the silent type. Speaking of her new-found 'siblings', she is still the youngest of the group like previously. This time around, it has its perks-- being everyone's littest sister (and having an unspeakable charm in those eyes that stare at you with unknown, curious intention), she's beloved and cherished rather than forgotten and ridiculed. However, Francis is not totally helpless. In the heat of the moment, she can remain vigilant and analyze tough situations for a solution. All it takes is someone well-versed in 'Francis-is-nervous' language to translate her rapid-fire. mumbly, quiet speaking, and she will have proved her worth. Other than that, she enjoys her time with her family, teaching them words like 'magnanimous' and drilling them on multiplication when they sail across the seas, bored out of their minds-- and never frightens anyone in the middle of the night, when she wanders to filter her thoughts, blinking her Middle-light eyes. Especially not Captain.

About Francis...

Ace: She's pretty cool. If you don't wanna be bored for hours on end, you can go talk to her! She might be even more boring than staring out into the ocean for ages, with her lectures on the history and things we didn't really learn and kinda don't care about, but the yearning for being less bored makes the time pass by pretty quick!

Blue: Aww, she's so tiny! I remember when she first came around to us... it was adorable! She was really clingy! Anyways, she's part of the Myth Hunters group, too, which means she gets a big 'YES-YES!' in my dictionary!

Captain Oleander: Little Francis, eh? She's very talented, I can tell you. She'll often come to me with history questions, or to ask for stories and legends. Really, I don't have anything that isn't Mixolian in my memory, but she appreciates all the stories equally. ...and, sometimes, she'll ask about the war-- there, I have to get a little creative, haha! ...ah.

Ekko: She keeps tryna analyze my behaviors! I told her I'm perfectly normal, but she keeps bringin' up my stupid old man! It gets kinda annoying, but when she isn't 'running a test to measure my temper', I'd say she's pretty cute. She blinks at everyone like she knows that the only way we can recognize her face is from her big eyes. A really innocent little creature. Reminds me of my other sister!

QD: She's teaching me how to read! Little does she know... I already know how! Y'know, she nearly FAINTED when I told her I couldn't! (Note: What she doesn't know is that I just couldn't read the books in Yun'Ktal, actually!! I've learnt since then, but I like reading with her, so I pretend I still can't read! (Note: Well, I liked reading with her))

Rex: I have a feeling she's going to have a growth spurt and be even taller than Blue.

Vera: She kinda reminds me of a quieter QD. They're both kinda... spunky, and, like, zany. They're cheeky wackos. That's the word, right? And QD's legs are getting just as long as hers, so, soon, they're gonna be twins. Only problem is that QD is as bright as snow.
