Description
Fran, raised in Ehrenfest temple's orphanage, became a gray priest after baptism. He endured significant childhood trauma from sexual abuse by Sister Margaret, a blue shrine maiden and former orphanage director. This instilled deep distrust of women, particularly blue shrine maidens, and intense relief at Margaret's suicide following her disgrace. The trauma inadvertently caused Arno, a fellow gray priest infatuated with Margaret, to blame Fran for her death and harbor lifelong hatred.
Physically, Fran is tall with light purple hair and brown eyes, possessing broad shoulders and a strong build despite a frail youth. He stands approximately as tall as Myne's father.
His personality is serious, respectful, and dedicated. Fran maintains exceptional emotional control, rarely revealing feelings unintentionally. His composure broke only once when he slapped Thore, an orphan, for claiming Rozemyne could not understand family separation, angered by his mistress's heartbreak. Fran sets high standards for himself, experiencing frustration when failing but deep satisfaction in duty well-performed. He dislikes rudeness and impropriety, often appearing standoffish due to his polite demeanor.
Initially an apprentice attendant under Ferdinand, Fran became one of his most trusted attendants through diligence and admiration for Ferdinand's skills. Assigned to Myne upon her temple entry, he resented the role as rejection by Ferdinand, directing frustration toward Myne. This changed when Benno revealed Ferdinand specifically entrusted Fran due to his trustworthiness and capability, solidifying Fran's commitment to serving Myne wholeheartedly.
After Myne's transformation into Rozemyne, Fran transitioned seamlessly into her head attendant role in Ehrenfest and later Alexandria. He ensured other attendants treated her with proper noble etiquette and continued her education. Despite progress overcoming his trauma—such as entering Margaret's former abuse room—lingering scars surfaced in Part 4. Selecting ceremonial robes with fellow priests, Fran froze upon encountering Margaret's old robes, teeth chattering. He concealed this reaction, arguing against using the robes for Angelica by citing their "cutsey floral design" as unsuitable, underscoring unresolved trauma despite strides forward.
Fran values meaningful gifts, treasuring the pen Ferdinand gave him for his coming-of-age and the diptych from Myne. He is skilled at making tea and shares Ferdinand's workaholic tendencies.
In relationships, Fran demonstrates fierce loyalty to both Ferdinand and Rozemyne. He acts as Rozemyne's stabilizing influence, comforting her after a distressing orphanage conversation with Ferdinand by guiding her to the library to ease her mind and assisting her during a subsequent vomiting episode. His protective instincts include shielding Rozemyne from impropriety, as when he restrained Gil's emotional outburst following Ferdinand's refusal to aid the orphans.
