Francine Fabray was the accident. Had to Judy and Russell Fabray shortly after high school, forcing the pair to do “the right thing” and marry young. Despite this, Frannie was always her parents’ so-called “golden” child. She was the bar upon which her younger sister was measured. Smart, well rounded, the kind of child that never put up too much fuss and did as she was told with ease. An athlete and a scholar, it seemed that whatever she tried, she did well. It was all surface level, however, but she never let it show. Frannie skipped a grade early in her schooling and nearly skipped a second grade going into high school, but chose not to. Either way, she was the head cheerleader, a soccer star, debate team captain, and excelled in every aspect of school and life that she tried, except for relationships. In fact, she seemed completely disinterested in boys and relationships. She was a devout Christian and claimed that she saw no reason in letting boys even begin to be a temptation.
After graduating high school, Frannie left home for college, eventually getting into Harvard’s law school. She did her best to keep up with her family, but her schooling was always her first priority. In fact, the longer she was at college, the less she heard from her family and the less she went home. She was working on her own well being and destroying the parts of herself that her parents had built up.
While in law school, Frannie had a mental breakdown. She’d been struggling massively with everything and it led to her nearly ending up in a psychiatric hospital. She was diagnosed with ADHD and started therapy to help deal with it, as well as the anxiety, depression, and other issues that came up because of it. She also began to get help for an eating disorder that had been plaguing her since her early childhood. It did wonders for her and she managed to pull through her law degree with flying colors.
Frannie began working for the DA’s office as early as she could. She was, typically speaking, dedicated to her work, but had a few relationships going at various times. Her boss, a man a few years older than her, was very much convinced that because she was polyamorous that he had any kind of chance with him. He was rather demanding and she eventually gave in, to try and keep things from escalating. He wasn’t the best guy and over the years, Frannie started documenting the various things he did and said to her, only staying with him because she feared how he might react if she actually broke it off with him, as he’d shown himself to have a rather violent temper and also held power over her at work. Then, having grown tired of Frannie refusing him sexually, he forced himself on her. In the aftermath, she reported him to the police and between her documentation of his actions and the fact the brute force used landed Frannie in the hospital with a shattered shoulder and collar bone, he was sentenced. However, in the fallout of everything, Frannie found herself taking cases too personally and quit working for the DA’s office. Instead, Frannie worked odd jobs to make money and took up pole dancing as a hobby. In a lot of ways, it helped her refocus her energy and empowered her to do something new with her life. Frannie eventually went to work as a pole dance instructor, while also putting herself through business school. She had a number of ideas that she wanted to delve into and knowing how to successfully run a business would definitely help in the long run.
At the age of 35, Frannie opened Luxe. Luxe was Frannie’s passion project, built from the ground up, it was a strip club, but better. She vowed to put her employees first, vowing that any misconduct occurring by patrons would not only cause the patron to be barred entry, but taken to court to be prosecuted under full extent of the law. A promise that Frannie proved to be serious on within only a few short months of opening. Frannie chose not to discriminate in hiring, willing to work with anyone and everyone who applied. While she’d grown up in an affluent family, she wasn’t blind to the ways many struggled to get by and wanted to build a business that was something to be proud of, both as an employee and as an owner.
The year following opening Luxe led to even more good things for Frannie. She married her long time partner, Eabha, an Irish fiddler she met while the other was on a break and visiting family. They’d started their relationship with the knowledge that it probably wouldn’t go anywhere too romantically, with Eabha spending much of her year in Ireland and the surrounding areas. However, time proved them wrong and Frannie was more than happy to marry the older woman.
With Luxe handed off to a trusted employee and good friend, Frannie set her sights on New York City. She wasn’t sure what she was looking for, but she found a club in need of new ownership and easily took it over. Overhauling how things are run and set up with very little issue and establishing the same rules from Luxe. Rose Noir is, to most, simply a dance club, with very private upper floors. However, to those in the know, Rose Noir offers a much more personal experience, hidden behind high fees and NDAs. It is a high end kink club, where nightly shows are put on by employee and patron alike. She also took ownership of Sassy Nights.
Frannie is an adrenaline junkie. She owns a motorcycle and does parkour. Her other hobbies include skateboarding and woodworking. The more she can be active, the better. Due to the damage to her shoulder, Frannie is prone to dislocating it, but has always had a high pain tolerance, once breaking her knee while in high school and apparently “walking it off” as it went unknown until sometime in her twenties.
Over the years, Frannie turned from Christianity to paganism, finding peace in the belief that there wasn’t some all knowing, omnipotent being seeing all but doing noting, but instead a series of gods and goddesses, typically not interfering in the ways of man, but sometimes messing it up.
Following the completion of her home renovation project and Yule in Ireland, Frannie returned to Boston for the beginning of 2024. She spent much of her time with her girlfriend and also had surgery on her shoulder to properly set it in place and help prevent further injury and dislocations. The recovery from it was long and tedious, with her only returning to NYC in late May.
