Fran profile

Fran is a Viera Warrior, She is Balthier companion in Final Fantasy XII. She wields a bow as her default weapon. She also the one who handles the maintenance of Balthier's airship, the Strahl. The lifespan of the Viera is far greater than that of humes, and lots of secrets lie hidden in her long history. Yet this does nothing to diminish the bond of trust between her and Balthier

Fran's hometown is Eruyt Village, a small enclave in Golmore Jungle where the Viera dwell. She left Eruyt Village and cast aside the Green Word fifty years prior to the events occurring in the game, believing that although her kind begin with the forest, she does not necessarily have to be bound to its end. She had no intention to return to the Wood ever again until she and the others needed to get to Mt. Bur-Omisace, which lay past Golmore. Unfortunately, the paths are sealed by Jote, Fran's older sister. Though normally the Viera would let none pass, Vaan's brashness convinces Jote to reveal that Fran and Jote's younger sister, Mjrn, had left the woods to explore the Henne Mines, and was taken by the humes. They depart for the Mines, finding Mjrn possessed by Venat. Upon their return back to Eruyt, Fran admits that she sometimes regrets the choice she made years ago, as she is no longer able to hear the forest, and fears the Wood hates her for leaving. Jote assures her otherwise,. Fran is skeptical, thinking Jote was just trying to comfort her. She leaves with the party, claiming to have become like a hume, and at ease with her conscience.

Fran, like all viera, which is exceptionally susceptible to the Mist that permeates Ivalice, with the burning of mist within Nethicite affect her from entering a feral rage, when Judge Ghis heated the Dawn Shard in his airship's engine, to being severely overwhelmed like with the Sun Cryst. Likewise, she could tell that the Mist was cooled in the Giruvegan. Of all the characters, she seems to be the wisest - fitting, as she is far older than the rest of the cast, despite her youthful appearance.
