Franky Franklin/Relationships

## Forger Family

### Loid Forger

Franky and Loid first met during the war between Ostania and Westalis, where they were soldiers on opposing sides. Loid almost killed Franky after the man wandered into his trap, but, when Franky tearfully confessed that he did not want to die having never been with a woman, this unexpectedly amused Loid, and he changed his mind about killing him. During their conversation, Franky spoke about how pointless the war was, which devolved into an argument after Loid's destroyed hometown was brought up. Their dispute exposed their location to Ostanian soldiers, and Franky hastened to escape, leaving Loid to deal with it himself.

Later on, when Loid became a spy, he at one point was assigned to a mission in Ostania, and somehow reunited with Franky, who became Loid's provider of useful information and spy devices. Besides giving him information for his missions, Franky often helps with various chores, including taking care of Anya, Bond, or both when Loid and Yor are not home. On most occasions, however, Franky does not help for free.

Since the reunion, Franky has stopped seeing Loid as a frightening soldier (although periodically Loid is able to intimidate Franky with his evil look) and very often allows himself to grumble at him and even openly mock him, especially when he sees his soft side for his fake family. Once Franky, being a little drunk, even managed to drag Loid into an impromptu game of spies and make him dress up as Bondman, a character from children's cartoons, so that he could entertain his adopted daughter. He also found it excessively funny to set Loid's drunken wife on him, as a result of which Loid could have been seriously injured if Yor had not fallen asleep.

Although Franky may consider Loid an expert on women, he seems to be very amused that he very often cannot understand his own wife and gets into awkward situations because of Yor, whether it is a kick in the face or a disastrous date.

Initially being just his informant and exploited labor force, Franky gradually began to become a friend to Loid. One day, having fallen for another beautiful girl, Franky asked him for help in seduction, trying to bribe him with a new spy gadget. Although Loid fulfilled his part of the deal, Franky never managed to impress the girl. Franky was extremely depressed by the rejection, although he tried to look carefree in front of the Forgers. Sitting in a bar and getting drunk on cheap drinks, he receives an unexpected gift in the form of an expensive drink from a newly arrived Loid, who decided to stay with Franky as support.

While he insists that their relationship is strictly business, Franky seems to harbor some affection for Loid deep down. Due to the nature of their jobs, they both agree that they cannot have feelings for other people, although neither actually follows this.

### Anya Forger

Franky first met Anya when she, being Loid's newly adopted child, was going to enroll in Eden Academy. At that time, they were forced to look for a mother for the girl, but Anya and Loid felt that the disguised Franky was not suitable for this role, much to the annoyance of the latter. Although Franky is very often annoyed by his role as a babysitter for Anya, he very often behaves childishly like her and becomes an accomplice to her crimes, finding them quite funny.

Franky does not know about Anya's mind-reading abilities but nevertheless considers her a rather perceptive child. For example, once he tried to reject her comforting pats after Monica's refusal, preferring to pretend that nothing terrible had happened, although Anya and Loid looked at him with obvious pity. Franky also periodically notices that Anya genuinely cares for her family, seeing her extremely worried about the relationship of her fake parents, and does not reproach her for this, even once deciding to help her follow them to make sure that everything is fine with them.

Franky periodically grumbles at Anya, especially when she encroaches on his personality trying to change something in him. It also seems that he does not like it much when she calls him "Scruffy Head."

### Bond Forger

At some point, when Bond became a member of the Forger family, Franky was given the responsibility to periodically walk with him and take care of him when the family was absent. Franky was initially displeased with this task but after meeting a woman with a dog, he asked Bond if he would like to live with him. Once Loid even used Franky as a training target, trying to teach Bond to be the protector of the family, much to Franky's displeasure.

Although Bond initially also annoyed Franky, they later became closer when it was discovered that they both were greedy for women. Once their attempts to get a beautiful young woman and her dog completely failed, Franky felt that they gave it their best shot and from that moment he began to consider the dog his buddy.

### Yor Forger

Yor is one of the few people who does not annoy Franky. They interact very little and he rarely pays attention to her, although she is always nice and polite to him. Once when he was tipsy, he found it very funny to incite her against her own husband, it seems guessing that Yor can be malleable under alcohol. Once Franky, as well as Loid, considered Yor suspicious and agreed to help the spy expose his wife when they both pretended to be the SSS agents. Entering his role, he tried to intimidate Yor by being rude, but when he began to pull his hands towards her, this led to the fact that she herself neutralized him, much to the latter's shock.

Once again trying to get a pretty girl, Franky tried to find her cat, and Yor offered him help in finding the animal. Although Franky believed that her kind nature was just a mask, he seemed impressed by Yor's strength and sincerely grateful for her help in the difficult confrontation with the cunning cat.

## Allies

### Fiona Frost

Fiona is one of the few examples when Franky decided not to pursue a beautiful girl being afraid of her character. One day, needing some help for her mission, Fiona received Franky's contacts from Loid. Fiona was caught in Franky's ridiculous ambush, and being annoyed by his ridiculous behavior and attempts to flirt with her, she was ready to leave even though Franky persuaded her to stay. After listening to Fiona's request, he realized that he would not be able to help her himself, but knows a person who can, although he refused to hand him over to her. Fiona is unwilling to trust Franky and tries to get him to introduce his friend to her directly, threatening to have him incarcerated. She eventually acquiesces when he reminds her that she will not be able to meet with the counterfeiter without him and he contacts his friend via the radio as a secret caller.

Frankу and Fiona ended up in a club disguised as a couple in a relationship and Franky began introducing Fiona to his friends as his girlfriend. Franky's behavior continued to annoy Fiona and she was ready to shoot him if not for the meeting with his friend, who was necessary for her mission.

During the pursuit from the suddenly invading SSS agents, Franky shows his best side by saving Fiona from getting shot and helping them break away from their pursuers. After a while, when Franky and Fiona meet again, he gives her the forged papers from his terrified friend and also shares his guesses that Fiona herself tipped off the SSS agents to make his friend more compliant, although Fiona herself pretends that she does not understand him. This began to annoy Franky even more, who believed that a pretty girl should not use such ugly methods. Despite the fact that Fiona continues to be in love with Loid, she seems impressed by Franky's actions and unexpectedly declares to him that she wants to continue working with him. Although Franky was amazed by her offer, he began to loudly try to refuse further teamwork, believing that because of her he could lose all his friends.

Sometime later, Franky and Fiona managed to work together again when, at Loid's request, they both disguised themselves as SSS agents in order to deceive Gerald Gorey. During this scheme, Franky did not try to make advances toward Fiona as he already had a new love interest whom he wanted to meet in his new disguise.

## Personal Life

### Monica McBride

Frankie met Monica at the cigar club where she worked and began to beg Loid to reveal to him the secret of successful dates, trying to bribe him with a new spy device. Although Loid thought Franky's stalking was disappointing, he agreed to help him in the conquest.

Having developed several plans and even using Monica's disguise, Loid managed to make Franky confident enough and set up for the success of his relationship with this girl, although Loid himself was convinced that despite his efforts Franky would fail. His prediction eventually came true because Monica, continuing to be cute, refused Franky before he could finish. Although Franky tries to be carefree and stay stoic, Loid and Anya understand his depressed state when they meet him.

Although Monica herself disappeared from Franky's life quickly enough, she became the reason for his rapprochement with Loid because it was the first time they drank together in a bar, meeting not for Loid to get some information or a device from Franky for his espionage job.

### Alessa Baltzar

Sometime after Monica's refusal, Franky finds himself near the hospital and meets an attractive blind lady named Alessa. Impressed by her beauty, youth, and angelic singing voice, he begins trying to get closer to her, which turns into an unexpected success. During the month, he often visits her, bringing her all kinds of gifts and telling her stories. She also shared with him about her life and family, and Franky always listened to this with enthusiasm, although he was already aware of many details of her life in advance, including that she comes from an influential musical family of Ostania.

Franky found her life boring enough from her confessions, but he was impressed by her optimism and cheerfulness with which she went through life despite the fact that she had been blind for two years and could not perform on stage. Alessa was going to have a complicated eye operation and in case of a successful outcome, she wished to stay with Franky forever. He became afraid that when Alessa begins to see again, she will no longer want to be with him because of his appearance and short stature.

When Alessa's operation is successful, Franky meets her in a new, younger, and more attractive disguise created by Loid. She was pleased with Franky's appearance, but he, not wanting to deceive her all their life, bitterly informs her that he is forced to leave the country and they will never see each other again. This incident really broke his heart, but he decided not to interfere in Alessa's life anymore, wishing her a better life than the one he has now.

### Kacey

Kacey is a waitress at a cafe that Franky periodically visits. He liked her as well as many nice girls and he would like to start dating her. One day he found out that she was very depressed by the escape of her cat, Kopi, and tried to get him back for her in his noble impulse. Although the cat was found and returned to Kacey, Franky was heartbroken when he found out that she already has a boyfriend. Nevertheless, despite his personal grief, he sincerely wished them happiness.

### Coco's Owner

One day when Franky was forced to walk Bond again, they both met an unnamed young woman and her dog Coco in a local dog park. Franky instantly falls in love with the girl and, seeing that Bond has the same feelings for her dog, they both decide to start courting them. Initially, this woman was very nice and friendly with Franky and seemed to be very disposed towards him, believing that they were both dog persons. When they meet again at the dog park, he is strongly rejected by her after excitedly asking her out. Frightened by his pressure, she gave him a ringing slap in his face after which she took her dog and decided to find a new park to avoid such persecution. This incident became the reason for Franky's rapprochement with Bond, as both upset by the incident considered each other companions in misfortune.
