Francis De'Belleford

Francis De'Belleford (Frankie), is the head of a cult called The Sacred Eye, which worships her as a Clairvoyant from The Unseen World. She was an Otherworlder, though had poor physical sight due to her being a Seer from which she created her Cult. Frankie was a main antagonist in book 1, though seemed to redeem herself after her resurrection as a leading character.

## Appearance

Frankie is described as a slender, attractive girl with greyish eyes: her irises having a dull lingering to represent her poor vision. She has long, jet black hair with some of it pinned up with a red butterfly-shaped hairpiece or ribbon. The rest of Frankie's hair hangs loose, partly covering the right side of her face and reaching her ankles at the back. She also wears an assortment of beautifully decorated robes with the cuffs rolled up.

## Personality

Frankie is introduced as a polite, considerate and friendly girl whom has no desire to win the other Ballots, instead she simply wishes to protect her cult followers with her clairvoyance. She is quite intelligent and relies on her own intuition as well as her clairvoyance, knowing that the Ballots would be Adventas's undoing. She forms a friendship with Adventas, describing her as cute and harmless. However, Frankie fully forms a tense desire for Adventas to join the cult in exchange for Sabine Valentine.

Frankie's true colours are revealed along with her real emotions, she despised the world and Nazologia for putting her through so much pain. She deeply desired the power of the Ballots in order to recreate the realms in the ways that she see's fit, with herself as the centre. Frankie can be quite manipulative, having tricked Adventas, Thassia, Rijks, Ulysses and Sabine into coming under her power. She played the false role of damsel in distress so that she could trick Adventas into joining the cult.

Upon revealing her true self, Frankie attempts to quell her own pain by tormenting others, however, this contributes to her ultimate demise as she fails to consider how her actions could galvanize her victims or their allies. Frankie's most valued possession is a flute that was given to her by Lily De'Belleford (Mother), before she was murdered by Jhens Rhen along with her husband Josef De'Belleford. Frankie was revealed to be an extremely angry, bitter and unpleasant due to her hatred of the world for being so cruel to her.

After Nazologia resurrected her, Frankie was became much more like her cover-up personality. A lot more thoughtful, quiet and simply better to be around. She became more pleasant and understanding in her new life, being able to finally see, she was very grateful to Adventas for accepting her, directing all her hatred to Nazologia.

## Background

Frankie was born in The Unseen World before being anonymous sent into the realm of Seistia. She hated Seistia and merely wanted to return to The Unseen World, before becoming the adoptive daughter of Josef and Lily De'Belleford, her loving parents. When she crossed the world, she almost lost her vision, which gave her the powers of Clairvoyance. Frankie became known as The Sacred Eye or simply "Clairvoyance", the oracle and figurehead of the religion for her own protection. Lily De'Belleford gifted Frankie a gorgeous flute that would later become her most treasured possession.

Both Josef and Lily tried to dismantle the religion and remove Frankie from The Sacred Eye's Temple. However, Jhens (the high priest) secretly attached a snare to the underside of their carriage belonging to Frankie's parents. Obsessed with keeping up the act, Jhens took Frankie's parents for a drive, only to abandon the carriage as it splintered, killing both Lily and Josef in the progress and leaving Frankie as the Idol God. With the parents out of the way, Jhens was able to force Frankie into becoming his wife, he wanted both for Frankie to love him and to increase his social position. She was kept as a slave for a whole year until she finally snapped, rebirthing the cult and became the leader once again, after torturing Jhens to death.

One day, Frankie was visited by Nazologia in person while she was having one of her visions. She was confused and alarmed by the interloper's presence, especially when he showed her the aurora-filled Ballot. Nazologia informed her that she had been chosen as a participant in the upcoming game of Phase II.
