A woman who sold apples on the streets of Prague, scraping by in one of the city's poorest neighborhoods. She's remembered as a thief—a label that stuck after she stole an egg to feed a sick orphan in her care, who died while she was imprisoned for the theft. The locals with money looked down on her, but the people in her building treated her like a saint. She kept taking in orphans despite everything, working whatever jobs she could find, and if someone was hungry, she'd give them her own food without hesitation. Church was important to her too, though she'd get stared at for showing up in rags.
Her life changed when she met two brothers, Bái Jīn and Bái Yín, in Prague. She fell for Yín and they got married—but hours later, Jīn abducted her. After a long, forced journey, the three of them ended up in a small French village. When Francine got sick, the villagers panicked about disease spreading and locked her away in a hut on the outskirts. She stayed isolated there for years.
