Fran Caddy

She's big, she's boisterous, and she's beautiful.

## Personality

Fran is someone with a lot of energy and little interest in taking things slow. Her emotions are as big as everything else about her, and she expresses them freely and without shame. She's friendly, but will absolutely not hold back her opinions on anyone; if a thought pops into her head, it will come right out her mouth, and if anyone has a problem with that they can just try and make her take it back.

## Appearance

Around six feet tall, Fran is a burly toon with inspiration from Popeye and Dover Boys in her design. She's built to knock people over and never get knocked over herself, no matter how bad the dice roll (and they roll pretty bad sometimes!) She has a pompadour of gray-blue hair and forearms the size of a cannon. She dresses kinda sorta fancy, except then she gets in fights and her clothes get wrecked.

## Backstory

never look back babe, the now's more important

## Shenanigans

**For Toon The Bell Tolls -** A bell sounding out across a town in the Ghibli Empire has been causing emotions to run rampant, and Fran takes up the call to investigate. Unfortunately, with her emotions as big as they are, Fran is particularly badly affected by the forced mood swings, and soon becomes irritable with the rest of the party. Thankfully she's able to take her aggression out on the nitrate burns that have been threatening the bell at the center of an ancient and revered temple, and all is right again.

**Bantam of the Opera -** Fran is hired to investigate and exterminate a gaggle of ghosts that have haunted an opera house and killed the reviewers who were set to watch the new opening performance. They quickly find the ghosts were not actually responsible for the deaths, but rather that the reviewers died of boredom from an astoundingly dull script. The real culprit, the opera house's owner's sister, sics the undead reviewers on Fran and the other investigators. Fran's rendered blind and thus largely impotent for half the fight, but her overflowing confidence protects her from the reviewers' snide comments, and the group is able to stop the witch's scheme.

**Idyll Island -** T.P. Bar-None hires Fran to go undercover at the new rival fair that mysteriously appeared near his famous theme park. Fran soon finds herself exasperated by the new fair's aura of naughtiness, and winds up destroying enough mirrors to give her a lifetime of bad luck. Upon eavesdropping, she learns that the hyukuza is running the whole attraction. Already in a bad mood and feeling motion sick from a bad roller coaster ride, Fran is ready to call it a night and report back to T.P., but suddenly she sprouts donkey ears and a tail... and she's not the only one. It turns out, the hyukuza have been transfogrifying their patrons into beasts of burden for unknown purposes. In the scramble to reunite with and defend her teammate Kita, who had gone ahead to scout, Fran wounds up puppeted into endless dance by one of the fair's magical cronies, but she's freed by a fiery blast from her companion Fuegory. Fran is able to round up two of the head honchos of the fair, but fails to stop the remaining goons from packing up the transformed donkeys and escaping to sea.
