OVA
Description
Fran spent his childhood in Ehrenfest temple's orphanage, becoming a gray priest after baptism. His early life held trauma from serving under Sister Margaret, a blue shrine maiden who sexually abused underage gray priests in a hidden room, leaving deep psychological scars and lasting distrust of women, especially blue shrine maidens. Following Margaret's disgrace and suicide, Fran breathed profound relief yet unknowingly earned the hatred of fellow gray priest Arno, who blamed him for her death.
Physically, Fran is a tall young man with light purple hair and brown eyes, possessing a strong build with broad shoulders despite appearing frail in youth. His personality shows seriousness, respectfulness, and wholehearted dedication to temple duties. He maintains exceptional emotional control, rarely displaying feelings unintentionally. This composure fractured only once when he slapped orphan Thore for claiming Rozemyne couldn't understand family separation, having witnessed Rozemyne's own heartbreak over similar loss.
After Margaret's death, Ferdinand entered the temple and selected Fran as an attendant. Fran developed deep admiration for Ferdinand's skills, becoming one of his most trusted and valued attendants through diligent service. Assigned as head attendant to Myne (later Rozemyne) upon her temple arrival, Fran initially resented the role, interpreting it as Ferdinand casting him aside. He directed frustration toward Myne until learning from Benno that Ferdinand entrusted him precisely due to his trustworthiness and capability. This revelation prompted Fran to fully recommit to serving Rozemyne.
Fran consistently demonstrated loyalty and competence as Rozemyne's head attendant. After her transition from Myne to Rozemyne, he ensured other attendants treated her with proper noble etiquette and continued her education. He managed her retinue, maintaining organization among Gil, Delia, and others. Despite significant progress overcoming past trauma—eventually able to enter the room where his abuse occurred—Fran still experienced severe reactions to reminders of Margaret. During Part 4 dedication ritual preparations, he froze with chattering teeth upon encountering Margaret's old ceremonial robes, though regaining composure unnoticed. He subsequently advocated against using the robes for Angelica, citing unsuitable design.
Fran's relationship with Rozemyne evolved into deep devotion, his primary motivation becoming to serve and support her however possible. He expressed this commitment directly, stating his desire to remain useful despite occasional bafflement at her actions. His temple interactions included advising fellow priests, like suggesting ways to protect Brother Kampfer from family exploitation after Ferdinand's departure.
Throughout his service, Fran treasured meaningful gifts: a pen from Ferdinand during his coming-of-age ceremony and a diptych from Myne. His character development illustrates a journey from trauma and resentment toward dedicated service and gradual healing, though past experiences continued to influence him in later story arcs.
