Personality[]
Francine appears to have been a typical older sister to Devereaux, scaring him and attempting to parent him whilst being a child herself. She could be cruel and imperfect, but only due to the stress of her situation.[1]
Background[]
When Francine was 16 years old she and her brother, Devereaux, headed north-west together. They were looking for their parents. She had voiced running away from their foster-home, and 11 year-old Devereaux had begged her to let him go with her. Francine had looked after Devereaux since they got to the foster-home. Dev could come with her, as long as he promised he would do what she told him. A few days after this, Francine woke him up and they ran away. Francine did all of the work to keep them safe and help them travel. She kept threatening that she would leave him behind, although she never acted on it. They stayed at a motel called the Rapture-and-Bliss, where they slept in their clothes because the room was freezing and because they feared the cops showing up. Devereaux couldn’t sleep. Francine told him to stop crying and, growing impatient, that there was a god under the bed. That he'd take offerings left for him in the night. This terrified Dev so much he was too frightened to sleep, but he had stopped moving. Early in the morning, at maybe 2 or 3 o’clock, he heard scratching beneath him, like something coming up from under the floorboards. He felt the pressure of something on the mattress. He ran without looking back. Francine called after him as the door slammed shut. Francine was taking by The Man In The Walls.[1]
