## Biography

Francine is the second youngest of the Breslow daughters with three elder sisters and one younger. She has always been an organized one, finding as many ways to organize one thing as possible. She has also had a love for the crafts, including felt squares and making quilts. When her sisters started Hogwarts, she made them  quilts with memories of the five of them on it. While Justine appreciated the gift, Josephine threw it in the fireplace in front of her.

Francine started Hogwarts and no sooner than the hat touched her blonde hair did the crumpled hat yell, "Ravenclaw!". She kept to herself mostly, her only friend being a boy a year above her, Gabriel Sullivan. Gabriel started dating her sister his fifth year, Josephine's sixth. While Francine still was head over heels over Gabriel, she put her distance between them, no matter how much it hurt her to. She didn't want to ruin the small chance of a relationship she and her sister had.

Gabriel confronted Francine on why they hadn't been spending time with each other anymore, to which Francine tearfully confessed her feelings for him. While she thought he was going to laugh at her, he instead kissed her, even though he was still dating Josephine. Tearfully, she pushed him away and asked how he could do that to her sister. He answered by telling her he only agreed to go out with her because he didn't think he had a chance with Francine and offered to end things with Josephine.

Francine was hesitant and told him no. A week later, he had broken up with Josephine anyways because he couldn't handle being with someone he didn't love. He again asked Francine out and once more she declined. When she went to comfort Josephine, she let it slip that she had liked Gabriel. Angrily, Josephine pushed her into the Great Lake, knowing Francine couldn't swim.

As Francine felt herself sinking to the bottom, she thought back on her entire relationship with Josephine. In that moment, she decided that if she survived, she would never again consider her sister's feelings. Just when she felt her entire world go black, something tugged her — back to life, out of the water.

When Francine awoke, it was Gabriel, watching over her with great care in the Hospital Wing. It was past curfew, but he didn't care how many points he lost for his house. He needed to make sure she was safe. Tearfully, she made a joke about how much of a germaphobe he was and how much he had to care about her to jump into the Great Lake to save her. With a smile on her face, she allowed him to kiss her, sealing the beginning of a blossoming romance.

In March of her fourth year, she discovered she was pregnant with Gabriel's child. Worriedly, she confessed to her and he promised he would always be there for her and their child, no matter what. When their son was born, he was left in the care with her parents. When Gabriel graduated, he moved in with the Breslow parents to raise their son while working, to provide a comfortable life for him, Francine, and their family.

Francine was ecstatic to graduate, joining Gabriel, her parents, and their son, Friday (Uriel). When he was three, they adopted their niece, Seraph, when Josephine turned neglectful and abusive towards her. Uriel was apprehensive at first, but eventually loved having his new playmate. Francine and Gabriel wouldn't have another child until 2004 with their daughter, Sunday. After another four years, they welcomed twins Tuesday and Wednesday.
