Appearance:

Francis has vibrant long pink hair and a distinct scar running across her face. She dresses exactly like a pirate, wearing a heavy captain's coat, a classic tricorne hat and tall leather boots. Her outfit is rugged and practical for the sea.
Personality:
She loves to tease people and really enjoys their reactions. Thanks to her nature as a Savant pathway Beyonder, she also likes to collect unique materials and artifacts. She is a big fan of thrilling, dangerous adventures. If things get too boring for her, she will totally do something absurd and dangerous just for the thrill of it.
She mostly teases Bernadette about her marriage and love life (while not actually having one of her own).
Background:
She was born in 1153 and abandoned by her unknown parents at a newly created orphanage in Trier. The other children bullied her heavily in her early years because of her strange pink hair. The rising Church of Steam and Machinery sponsored the orphanage and pressured her into joining their ranks to become a Savant. The major problem was that she had zero talent for machinery or scholarly pursuits.
Everything changed when she met Roselle. He praised her pink hair and told her she looked exactly like a famous explorer named Francis Drake. Being a highly impressionable teenager, she latched onto this idea and adopted the name as her own.
She eventually caused massive trouble in Trier and fled to the sea. She lived as a pirate across the Five Seas, jumping from one crew to another. Advancing her sequence as a Savant on the ocean was incredibly difficult. After thirty years of piracy, she only managed to reach Sequence 6: Artisan.
Bernadette later recruited her into the organization known as Element Dawn. With their resources, she successfully advanced to Sequence 4: Alchemist without any complications.
Recently, she infiltrated a Church of Storms headquarters and stole one of their Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts called Okeanos. This artifact was formed from Sequence 2 Calamity and Sequence 2 Sage Beyonder characteristics left behind after the death of the God of Illusion, a subsidiary god to the Elf King.
Okeanos looks like a crystal ball holding a massive sea inside. When activated, it traps both the user and the targets inside an illusory endless ocean. Nobody has ever escaped it, and the method of breaking free remains completely unknown.
After securing the artifact, she used her Alchemist abilities to create and give life to a small boat. She used this to break right through the encirclement set up by the Church of Storms and the Loen Navy. Because of this massive heist, her bounty skyrocketed from 60,000 pounds to 200,000 pounds.
Trivia:
"Her friends and acquaintances often tell her she would have made a great Spectator pathway beyonder.
"She personally thinks she would have been a perfect Sailor pathway beyonder.
"She has a lifelong dream of sailing to the "end of the world."
"She fully believes the earth is flat, ignoring any and all evidence pointing to the contrary.
"She had a teenage crush on Roselle Gustav."
AN: What do you guys think? Klein didn't do anything, her being a fate expy is Roselle's fault.
