Personality: Frenchie is, at first glance, pretty much the typical blonde stereotype. She is very outgoing and what most would describe as being a cheerleader girl. She is constantly smiling, complimenting people, and never really walks anywhere, she always seems to skip or bounce. She is a high-achiever, and everything must be perfect for her to be truly satisfied. There are cracks in her pretty girl façade, though, and at close inspection they are very much apparent. With her need for perfection, she also has a yearning for control. If things are out of her hands, she feels uncomfortable and insecure, often doing whatever it takes to regain that familiar composure. Something that only those than dislike her see is her vanity; although she does not make it clear, she will persistently make sure her hair and makeup is on point, her clothes are up-to-date and stylish, and everything she has with her is near and without a speck of dirt. Her desire for perfection can be seen as obsessive, and her actions borderline OCD.
Underneath the need for attention is Frenchie's undying loyalty and true golden heart. It is only once one gets to know her that they can see the true beauty of this girl. She strives to make things better for other people, often giving them advice or tips from her 'Golden Guide', and although most people see this as offensive, she means well. To those she trusts, she will let them know about her insecurities and feelings, whilst being someone willing to listen to their worries too. She is quite reluctant to show weakness, and her bravery is almost unparalleled when it needs to be. Above all, she values love as a top priority, and frowns upon those who think otherwise.
Habits: * Ensuring everything is perfect and in pristine condition
* Playing with her hair
* Biting her nails, it is the only thing about Frenchie that is not seemingly flawless.
Hobbies: Frenchie can often be found sketching or drawing in her notebook. It's where she keeps her designs, and is pretty much like a diary to her. Touch it without permission and you'll most likely die.
Fears: - Atelophobia- a fear of things being imperfect, or her not being good enough.
- Being forgotten- she cannot stand the thought of just dying without making a change.
- Rejection- something that plays a large part in her phobia, her fear of being turned down or dismissed is something that controls a lot of the things she does.

Thoughts On The Murder: Frenchie had been chair of the Prom committee the year of the murder. She personally strongly disliked Simone, yet had never made it known. She despised how she picked on others, and, in all honesty, was not sad to see her go. She certainly didn't murder the girl, though, especially not if it meant ruining
her prom. Cynthia, on the other hand, had been good friends with Frenchie up until that night. The two had mutual friends, so chatted a bit from time to time, occasionally going shopping from time to time together. She never did really believe that it was Cynthia that was the murderer, but, again, didn't make her thoughts known to others, instead just hastily changing the subject.
History During H.S.: Frenchie was born to a rich family in the town of Grimm. Her mother was in love with the 'Grease' movie, so named her after her favourite character. For the majority of elementary, she kept to herself and few people paid close attention to her; it was the first day of high school that really blew people away.
She had switched tight braids to loose blonde curls, the childish chubbiness in her cheeks had disappeared, revealing soft, angelic features, she wore a skirt that was dangerously short along with one of her old checked shirts. It wasn't long before she became one of the Preps, those who were friendly with her adored her, and those not either wanted to be her or hated her. She wasn't one to take part in the mockeries the Preps were known for, yet she did nothing to stop it, maybe sometimes even laughing along. Frenchie had the odd boyfriend or two, but it never lasted once they realised how fragile she really was and fled the scene.
Being captain of the Cheer team and one of the most popular girls in school, it wasn't a surprise that she was elected as chair of the prom committee. She wasn't interested in being Prom Queen, unlike most girls, and got to work decorating and planning and decorating some more. Then the
incident happened. It almost broke her heart to see all of her hard work ruined, and she was dragged into questioning after questioning, a prime suspect having taken charge of prom. It was then that her Atelophobia worsened, instead of having nightmares she would have extreme attacks of OCD which once involved painstakingly colour coding every single thing in her bedroom until her fingers bled with grappling and tearing bits and pieces out from shelves and drawers alike. It was a relief to leave school, say goodbye to her many friends, yet she still misses those days before the prom when everything was
perfect.
History Since Graduation: Upon leaving high school, Frenchie was offered an apprenticeship with a minor fashion designer in a town near Grimm. She would sew and mend clothing, check models' sizes, and file endless amounts of paperwork all for scrapings of a wage. It took a long time for her to gain the respect of her boss enough to muster up the courage to show him some of her designs but, boy, it was worth it.
Her boss fell in love with Frenchie's chaotic style that contrasted so much with her neat and ordered persona, resulting in him promoting Frenchie and them working together for a while in the fashion industry. Frenchie's clothing gradually began to gain the liking of the public more than her newfound partner's, and she soon took the path of solitary work, separating with her ex-boss on good terms.
It took Frenchie a while to find her feet as a lone designer, now in New York, but when she did - she made it big time. Her first line was reasonably low pricing, but managed to sell out in a matter of weeks. Her second line was raised in price, yet sold out in only one week. Her new few lines maintained the same level, and she travelled around the world for her many shows. Her most recent line made her a millionaire and sold out in a day.
It wasn't long before she found a convenient apartment in London, where she has her headquarters and most trusted advisors staying. She had made London her home for three years now, which it noticeable in a slight twang in her accent and her pronunciation of the words 'mum' and 'aluminium'. When she heard word of this high school reunion, her advisors did what they were paid to do and advised her to turn down the opportunity but, out of mere curiosity, she ignored them and accepted the offer.
