[/div] fran fancourt, twenty six, hetereo, spunky, cryptic. everybody give a warm welcome to fransine fancourt, our local history of magic teacher. while HoM is known to be an extremely boring art, fran is probably the only person in the universe that could make a wizarding treaty about magical carpets seem interesting. she's eccentric and odd, but not in the bouncing-off-the-walls way; in fact, fran is more of a spoken-until-spoken to type, and prefers to lurk in the shadows and watch you more than give you the time of day. mostly, because she's not a big fan of wasted words. this doesn't mean she's not social though; if you get past the fact that fran is no lady ( cursing every other word, drinks heavily, smoking, brutally honest whip, etc ) then you may find that she's quite enjoyable to be around, as she's witty and adventurous. she wants to get to know you better, but not let other people in. with an extremely obsessive personality, she has a knack for getting stuck on a subject, person, or object and pestering and meddling into it until she knows simply everything. as a teacher, she's fully functional; she loves to reinact scenes from history, muse about why historic figures did what they did, and sit on student's desks when they come in. she insists all students call her 'fran' instead of 'professor' and is largely unprofessional, but extremely effective. i'm miles from where you are, if you don't mind the type of person that has no problem insulting you, and generally doesn't even REALIZE she's insulted you, nor the type of person who can walk around smoking in school, then fran would totally be your best friend. she's incredibly attentive, incredibly fun, and incredibly willing to communicate to anybody whom she seems able to keep a slightly intelligent conversation. in conclusion, she's sort of a beatnik. many people would be put off by her unprofessional attitude and unlady-like behavior, finding her crude and messy. but once you earn fran as a friend, she's an extremely valuable alley. not only does she have that gryffindor courage and loyalty, but she also makes a great listener; fran does not mind sitting around and listening to all of your problems, because she feeds on that sort of human interaction. but on the other hand, fran is not one to let anybody in. if you think you can have a mutually open relationship, then you're going to have to work at it; fran is shut tight as a fox trap. i lay down on the cold ground, it would be so easy to hate her. fran has no problem smacking a kid over the head for being a smartass, and is generally a very physical and passionate person; if you can't handle the type of firework that she is, then you're going to burn up in the atmosphere with her real quick. she doesn't have a short fuse, but she just can't stand really dumb people; anybody who is totally rotten pretty much will receive her wrath. she also has a general hatred for really, really peppy people; she can't stand so much sunshine at one time, though i think it would be funny if she had that one REALLY peppy friend that she hate/loves. she's illogical and erratic, often making decisions that land her in trouble, so if your character is somebody who is meticulous and thinks things out, fran's hypocritical and hyperactive behavior would probably annoy him/her. for students, anybody who really disagrees with her unprofessional style would totally hate her guts. i think she'll have a lot of love/hate stuff plus a few HARDCORE hates. fran also has a sick and twisted joy of bothering people, so if she sees you totally hate her, she will go out of her way to impose her company on you, and make your day miserable. students are NOT an exception to this rule. & pray that something picks me up aw, love. well, let's just say that whatever type of relationship fran will have, it'll have to be extremely passionate, like a meteorite from the sky. she doesn't get involved emotionally like that with people very often, but when she does it's going to be a vortex, a tornado of feelings. i personally like the idea of a love/hate thing; the more feelings you can throw at her, the better. for past relationships, i think she would have had a few-exs in her time. she's not an ugly girl, and i imagine that she was the type of girl in hogwarts who went through boys like she went through tissues; never once really paying attention to them, and dating more to waste time. i would like maybe.. one person whom she actually got attached to in hogwarts, and they sort of broke her heart, either by her getting scared of her own feelings and dumping them or them dumping her because she was getting too obsessive. as for flirting, fran does not discriminate; she sometimes can flirt casually, but it generally doesn't mean anything. her flirting tends to be a bit more physical than other people's, meaning she has no problem giving somebody a peck on the cheek after leaving them to pay her firewhiskey bills. she's not a whore though, which i would like to stress; she's actually pretty much a prude about the entire sleeping thing, and prefers not to even touch that section of a relationship. it's more mind over body for her. i don't think she would ever have a relationship with a student, not unless they were something special. credits goes to mare.

Fran & Arianne
Well, Arianne adores History of Magic and she'd got a natural talent for learning and memorizing - this would probably be the one subject she's naturally good at rather than one she slogs away at, though she would probably work really hard anyway. It is also one of her deepest ambitions to eventually do something in this field, though most people wouldnt know this because she has practically no self-esteem and doesnt think she's good enough to do it.
Anyway, how would Fran react to Arianne?

oh god, they should totally NERD OUT together. it's rare when a student actually LIKES history of magic simply for being history, so arianne would no doubt become one of fran's favorite students. i can imagine arianne asking a question which leads into like, a seven minute conversation of theirs in the middle of class to which NOBODY ELSE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, and everybody is just sitting there like WELP, /twiddles thumbs/ while arianne and fran are just yaaaking away. for the most part, fran would treat her very kindly; she could see the self esteem issues, and would try to gently nudge arianne into a more socialable disposition. like, for example, maybe when she's playing wizarding chess with other students, she would invite arianne over, etc. c: i guess arianne would know fran's more 'parenting' side; the softer side, rather than the really crude one. but i think even if fran is really nice and mostly calm with her and stuff, arianne still might feel a tad awkward at times, or even annoyed; fran has a habit of pulling out smokes right in the classroom, and although she looks hygenic, her desk is EXTREMELY messy as is her room. soo 8I that will probably not fly well. |

Arianne & Fran[/u]
Haha, that would be quite a fun situation. Arianne would probably idolize a teacher of that sort, she likes parent figures and she would mostly try to close her eyes to the bad stuff - for example, she might avoid but ignore the smoking, and though she'd feel a constant need to clear up Fran's desk (well, she might even do a bit of it just subconsciously, she does that a lot) which might not be ideal for either, but all in all, I think that she would like Fran and maybe even finally be able to get a clearer idea of her own future by talking with her at a later stage.

Fran&Bryce!
Well to start off, Bryce is only two years older than her and he is a Slytherin alumni. So which ever way they end up going, it could have stemmed from their student days. He was a bit of a loner during his years of Hogwarts and has always had an old soul about him. Because of Fran's unprofessional teaching style, Bryce would look down upon that and criticize her if he caught her doing something like hitting a student. (He's all for cruel discipline though). Bryce is really uptight and old fashioned, so however she would take to that? But I'm not sure if they would be hardcore hating each other, used to have some kind of history or something along those lines. I'm open to anything interesting or out there, let me know how she would react to him! |

i think fran would be honored to take a bigger part in arianne's life; she'd probably feel like she's done one good thing in this school if she pushes arianne to the right direction, and maybe makes her open up a bit to the world. c: so yeah, deffo fav. student and all that we discussed about sounds great !!! i guess the best way to describe it would be to say that fran would PURPOSELY try to make him hate her. his reaction would fuel her, especially to the fact that he almost never REALLY reacts. so fran would deffo go out of her way to act unprofessional around him, and basically get on his nerves any way she can. i kind of think fran would be the thorn of a teacher in his side; she'd be the type to constantly be there at the worst moment, order him seven firewhiskies in front of the students @ the three broomsticks, and generally make a mess of things. and she wouldn't mind him hating her either; the more he does so, the more she would feed off of it. of course, she would shout out to the entire world that he's the candy of her eye, and would take any course to embarrass the crap out of him by unsightlessly flirting and calling him things like 'poopsiekins' when students just HAPPEN to pass by. as for something of the past, i kind of like that idea. C: they would obvs know each other, though she was a gryffindor. she was kind of a loner too, i guess. i am tempted to say maybe a past rival, or maybe even an old flame..? it could explain the reason why fran seems to be particularly horrible to him. |

Fran&Bryce!
Haha, I love that! Bryce would definitely try to keep his composure of her public acts, but after a while and depending on the severity, he will snap a little. I like both past thoughts of them though, they could have initially been past rivals, maybe toward the later years (5th) it sparked a flame. They could have had an unofficial thing going for a while and then when it ended it was just straight up bad. Now that they both work at Hogwarts, haha, interesting little arguments. Any threads in mind? The usual disturbance between the two, first of the year? xD |

totally. <3 i dunno if you actually want to get that deep into it, but how would they have gotten together/broken up? if you would prefer not to figure that out, it's cool too c: it would just be more fun for me because she can constantly be bringing up his flaws or things he did while they were 'unofficially' dating. how would bryce feel about her overall? would he just have a platonic hate based on the fact that she bothers him so much, or would you think it would go deeper if they are not only rivals but dated once? i'm fine either way. and oh god, yes please *u* we can have them sitting at the teacher's table in the great hall on the FIRST FEAST or something and fran making a total fool of him in front of the other teachers to remind them that this year's shenanigans has begun, !~ |

LIBERTY & FRAN
[/u] I'll start off by telling you what she thinks of History of Magic first. Liberty loves History. So much so that I actually put it under her 'likes' section in the app. When she was younger, she got her hands on a book on magical History and to her it was like reading a story book. She knew all of her first year material before she even entered Hogwarts, and so in classes she would of known exactly what Fran was talking about. In her other years, however, she would not have known the material as well, but she would read up on it before class. She would admire Fran's teaching style, since it's effective- it would not bother her that it's unprofessional. If students are aware of Fran's lifestyle, she would strongly dislike the fact that Fran drinks though- it would hit a personal nerve with her. Everything else she could handle, and it would not bother her much, but the drinking part would cause her to lose a bit of the respect she holds for Fran. However, Liberty is a shy introvert, who basically lives in a shell, with walls up around her on every side. She's afraid to let people in, she's afraid of attention and she also has major self esteem issues. She does not speak much, and will likely only speak when spoken to in class, never the type to be rude or interrupt a Professor or anything like that. She ends up suppressing herself though, so that while she knows a lot in class, she would not let Fran on about this. The only way Fran would know that Liberty has extensive knowledge on her subject is if she calls on Liberty a lot, or ends up finding out for some reason. Or maybe just from the knowing expression Liberty would have on her face when she brings up new topics in class. What do you think? [/blockquote][/blockquote] |

Fran&Bryce!
I forgot to mention Bryce is a relatively fresh professor (for future reference so she doesn't make a reference to some humiliating factor she did to him 'last year') but that doesn't really make a difference as he expects the humiliation from her. Knowing the past is good xD! I'll just briefly suggest for getting together, as they spent time being rivals, one or the other initiated a snog and during their time spent together of competing or bumping into each other, they assumed the relationship roles without really addressing it, tho' I can see them both arguing a bit. Since she was younger, I don't know if Fran would have addressed/questioned it after a few months, a year (if they lasted that long) but when the topic did come up, there was an argument and the unofficial business was broken.
He is and was very stringent and mature for his age, so when it comes to teasing and going back to that, I'm sure she could think of quite a few old man puns. If we do go with the once dated aspect, his feelings toward her wouldn't be solely hate. On the surface it would look like he disliked her extremely, was annoyed by her and such. But he'd have that respect for her he wouldn't admit and naturally if she were hurt or something he wouldn't leave her like someone he hated, he'd help her. I think a lingering feeling from the past would stay with him, since much hasn't changed when it comes to attitudes toward one another?
Hah, I hope that all sounds alright? I can get a thread started for the start of the term feast between the two [:.
edit: thread made, sorry its a bit short >< heree. |

LIZ & FRAN
I can actually see the two
being friends. I don't know if
they'd hang out a ton since the
drinking, smoking, swearing every
other word thing, she'd want to keep
away from her daughter. But when
her parents are watching her daughter,
I can imagine Liz wanting to go out and
have fun. And Fran would probably be able
to get her to let loose a little. So, I guess good
friends, but not extremely close?

AUGUSTUS&FRAN
I think that they could hold conversation just fine, but I don't know how well they would do any closer than just 'work friends', really. He doesn't care about the smoking or anything like that-- but physicality is something he's really not very used to. I think that if they got to know each other, they could enjoy each others company a lot, especially since they both seem to seek out intelligent people.
Her more outgoing personality is something he would admire, and they'd both probably cause a ruckus at one point or another with out-there opinions. But their personalities could drive their relationship either to a close bond or just awkward sort-of friends.
He would definitely respect her for her opinions and the way she seems to be an out of the box thinker, but passion is something he doesn't come into contact with a lot, and might startle him like some kind of deer, I don't know. What do you think?
