"If I told you once, I've told you a thousand times - If you touch my tools, they'll go inside of you!"- To a colleague
"Poor thing, never knew he was never going home again... I hope he remembered to turn the oven off." - To herself while observing a body
Work ColleaguesSince she hasn't been with the B.A.U long, Francine hasn't gotten close with anyone yet.
VictimsDue to the nature of her work, Francine feels a "level of familiarity that most cannot" with the victims who find their way onto her table - she learns everything about them, and she can't help but empathize with their life's journey that led them to her.
Clara Gardinier - RoommateAlthough they haven't known each other long, Francine and Clara became fast friends.
Francine moved into the spare room of Clara's apartment upon moving to Baltimore, and the women quickly grew close.
Dr. Sean Murphy - FatherHer favourite parent - she's definitely a "daddy's girl."
As a surgeon, Sean was the sole reason that Francine wanted to become a doctor, although it confused him when she told him that she didn't want to work on
living people, claiming that she "wasn't sure that she could handle the pressure" after seeing how stressed he could be when he returned home some days.
Detective Miranda Murphy - MotherThe disciplinarian between the parents; this is due to her no-nonsense attitude that allowed her to excel in the police force. Francine loves her mother dearly, and holds a deep respect for her.
Alexander Murphy - Younger brotherFrancine is almost 20 years her brother's senior. Alexander was adopted into the family shortly after Francine left for college, much to her chagrin; due to her being away for so long, she never got the chance to bond with him as he was forming his close familial bonds, and so barely feels like his sister, instead comparing herself as a "disconnected cousin."
This doesn't mean she doesn't love him, however: She would "burn the world down for him" if anything ever happened to him.
Dr. Jason "Jay" Curtis - Ex-husbandFrancine and Jason attended college together and married fresh out of their senior year. They remained married until Francine received news that she was to be transferred to the other side of the country to attend her current position - Because of his own career, Jason refused to move with her. Although she was disappointed, she understood and left without him.
While the end of their relationship was semi-amicable, the stress from the current proceedings of their divorce has caused the two to argue almost every time they speak.
