GENDER: Female
SEXUALITY: Straight.
STATUS: Single.
GROUP: Citizen.
GRADE: N/A.
MAJOR: N/A.
JOB OCCUPATION: Three Kings Apprentice.HAIR: Naturally very dark brown – almost black, but she plays with a lot of dye. Frankie wears her hair in what she calls a ‘hacked bob’ style that comes just above her shoulders. It’s usually sort of ruffled messy with layers.
EYES: Brown.
SCARS/BIRTHMARKS: One on her right elbow from falling on a night out when she was seventeen. She slipped, landed on some glass and needed stiches – got into a hell of a lot of trouble for sneaking out and drinking.
TATTOOS: She has a sleeve on her left arm which comprises of a number of tattoos including an owl and roses and a mandala, more flowers and a Hamsa. On the back of her left wrist she has the Japanese for ‘family’ since the relatives she’s closest to are her maternal relatives in Japan. She has the sun and moon between her thumb and index finger on her left hand. Two interlocking infinity symbols on the outside of her left hand for life going on and on. She’s got a thigh piece on her right thigh; It is a portrait of a woman with a skeleton hand holding a cigarette. There is a flower in her hair and a rose covering her neck. She has three zodiac symbols on her left ankle; Capricorn, Virgo and Pisces. She’s a Virgo herself but she doesn’t say who the other two are.
PIERCINGS: Ears twice, nose and tongue.
PLAY-BY: Asami Zdrenka!LIKES: tattoos, hair dye, candy canes, tequila, handstands, being loud, sketching, riding her bike, getting dirty, roughhousing, nightclubs, dancing, shoes, shopping, doughnuts, any sweet flavoured coffee, Mexican food, shouting at people in a foreign language (she knows five), biographies, her independence, men with muscles, piercings, rock music, concerts, music festivals, the summer.
DISLIKES: people thinking she's spoilt, her parents, people trying to make her something she's not, silence, slow days, being cold, boy crazy girls, seriously serious people, apples, getting sick, PMS, snobs, blue ink pens, babies, boring conversations, political correctness gone mad, lack of basic manners, misplacing her can of mace, pet names from strangers, running as a sport.
FEARS: Having to ask her parents for help, losing mobility in her hands, an unplanned pregnancy.
SECRETS: Her family line is responsible for a lot of New York being great. The Canavan name pops up throughout the city's history for being wealthy in a time of need. Wall Street, the Prohibition era, even the Mafia all have or have had tie ins with the family. That in itself isn’t so much a secret, she supposes, but Frankie being cut off and stripped of any of her entitlement is. Since that happened she tends to act like the shared name is a fluke and nothing more.
PERSONALITY: Frankie is feisty and blunt all of the time. She’s loud and brash which isn’t always everyone’s cup of tea, but she’s the type to act first and think years later. Artistic and inventive Frankie is gifted, but sometimes that gift has helped her get out of trouble or lie her way around the truth rather than anything else. Independent, she’s coping with being cut off by her parents, and truly believes that following her heart is more important than sticking with what her parents wanted for her. Frankie is rather wild and somewhat unpredictable. A night in can quickly turn into a midnight cab ride to a night club that doesn’t end until the sun comes up and her feet are sore. She may appear open and candid, but in honesty there’s a lot that Frankie keeps to herself. She’s quick to the boil in terms of her temper, sometimes misunderstanding the situation and turning aggressive when it’s not entirely necessary. Daring and troublesome, there’s very little that Frankie will say no to, especially if it means fun and some kind of wild adventure. Frankie is flirty and fun, but anything serious freaks her the hell out. She’s young and finds the idea of forever after something terrifying and believes that it should belong in books and movies – not her life. She prefers to live in the moment and just flit from one adventure to the next, one frog to another.MOTHER: Mikako Yin Canavan, 45.
FATHER: Hamilton Bryce Canavan, 49.
SIBLINGS: Howard James Canavan, 5.
OTHERS: N/A.
PETS: Blu, Samoyed pup.
HOMETOWN: Manhattan, New York City.
HISTORY: Hamilton was always expected to meet someone worthy of the Canavan name, which he did when he crossed paths with Mikato. She was a classy Japanese student at Harvard who he met at a charity ball his family always attended. She was there representing the law school when they met. Mikato always knew she was destined for great things and acted that way, even though she was from a hardworking home back in Osaka who had never had much themselves. She had come to America for college and to make something better of herself. She wanted more than what her family had given her, and with Hamilton she found just that. Mikato, in the end, completed her law degree, but only worked for a year before Hamilton proposed and insisted that she didn’t have to work ever again, instead turning her into a socialite – something she enjoyed much more than she could ever enjoy the courtroom. She was pregnant almost immediately after they married, and when Francesca was born after a long labour, Mikato said she didn’t want to go through that again – so they only had one child.
Frankie did not start out life as a troublemaker. In the beginning she was well mannered and a proper little lady. She was six when she met a little boy at her private school who was a hellish kid. He had ADHD, but Frankie was too young to understand that, and instead she just latched on to him and his “rebellious” ways. She found them amazingly fun and wanted to do it all the time despite the school rules and what was expected of her by teachers and her parents. It was a slow, but definite start to her spiralling out of control in her later years. That little boy was removed from her class a year later to be placed somewhere more suited to his needs, but Frankie remained as defiant as ever, boisterous and loud. The seeds of rebellion had been planted and by the time she was a teenager they would start to bloom.
A creative soul, Frankie didn’t want to follow reason and logic. She wanted to have fun, mix with kids who weren’t socialites and meant to be prim and proper like her parents expected her to be. She snuck out, tried everything she could, and generally hung out with a crowd her parents disapproved of. It was a test really, to see how far she could push her parents and how far they would push her back. They tried to ground her, take away her privileges but not of it mattered; Frankie still found her way out of the house and into trouble. Her friends were the kind who helped each other sneak out and who encouraged more trouble and scandal. She loved them for it. Frankie got worse as she grew older, rebelling more. She was brought home a few times by the cops, but her father had the money to keep his daughter’s wild ways out of the media. He didn’t want the family name tarnished when they had done so much for the city. In his eyes, they were New York, and he wasn’t about to let his rambunctious daughter ruin what they were known for because she had a fake ID and was caught making out with a guy who was five years older than her and buying her shots in a New York nightclub. Frankie wasn’t afraid of getting caught. She found it funny actually when she was found out. It never stopped her.
When Frankie was fourteen, Howard was born. Despite Mikato’s protests for all those years she had finally relented and decided to give Hamilton another child. Frankie knew it was because she was nothing like what they wanted in the end and Howard was their shot at a second chance. Needless to say, Frankie did not like the baby coming along and she made no effort to be a big sister. She was accused of going to be a bad influence and it was clear from the get go that they wanted her to change her ways or keep away. She could live with that. She hated kids, and a screaming baby when she was already dealing with a lecture about a hangover was not great. In fact, Howard’s existence turned her off the idea of children almost completely. She never says never about anything, but that is something she’s very close to shaking a very firm no to because of how terrible the home was when Howard came into it. There’s a lot of things she never tells about but her parents said a lot and did a lot that made her act out more and a lot was to do with her baby brother.
Her parents wanted her to go to college. They pretty much forced her into NYU to study English Literature and French. Her whole life they had forced her to excel at school, and she had never been able to escape tutoring if her grades slipped, so she had been forced to keep up an acceptable GPA at school despite her wild ways. However, college was where she put her foot down after six months. During those first six months she started getting her tattoos and her piercings and then dropped off her course. Her parents tried to force her to go back, but Frankie refused. Her father asked what she would do without a college education and she replied that she had already talked, and impressed, Three Kings where she had her ink done, and had been offered (and accepted) an apprenticeship there. The thought of his daughter being pierced, inked, and becoming a tattooist infuriated Hamilton, and he vowed to cut Frankie off if she followed through with it. She dared him to.
A few weeks later it happened. She had nothing but the money she made from Three Kings, and the apartment she had been living in since she was a student. Everything she had she needed to pay for herself, but Frankie was smart. She had money stacked away from her younger years and even with her trust now blocked, she was far from penniless. She had never burned through cash or squandered it on designer labels just because she could. She had a bank account where she kept a lot of birthday money, and her allowance, just because it was wise to save for things and she didn’t like the idea of carrying cash when she hung around with shady people.
Time has passed and her parents still don’t acknowledge her. Frankie is dealing with that with a shrug. They either come around or they lose out. She’s following her heart and doing what makes her happy and she won’t be their little puppet. Her maternal relatives in Japan understand and they keep in touch with her, but she hasn’t explained to them how the situation is with her parents - or at least not the extent of their disagreeing with her. Three Kings is teaching her well, as well as adding to her ink collection as she sees fit, or when she gets bored!
