Francis André (Steps 2 & 3)
Some background information:
Francis André was born and raised in Golden Grove as an only child. With his parents often busy with business-related tasks, he was primarily looked after by a nanny during his younger years.
He attended the same elementary school as Gabriel and also went to the same after-school cram academy for tutoring. Since their families are business partners, the two were naturally pushed toward each other by their parents in hopes of fostering a friendship.
Francis plays the piano and serves as Yujin’s self-declared accompaniment partner. The two met when Yujin first moved in and quickly bonded over their shared musical knowledge. Their first "real" conversation (according to Gabriel) was a debate over whether Franz Liszt’s Sonata in B Minor was superior to Robert Schumann’s Fantasy in C Major—a debate that ended in mutual agreement: Schumann reigned supreme.
He admires exceptionally talented individuals and has a strong dislike for lying or blatant dishonesty. Francis struggles with understanding and expressing emotions—both his own and others’—so blunt, straightforward communication comes most naturally to him. It's one of the reasons he dislikes liars: they complicate things unnecessarily.

Finally releasing our resident blonde into the wild... Now I only have to finish Gabriel's character sheet and I'll have time to start toying w main plot related stuff
I ran out of space so no step 1 Francis here BUT I have a few ideas in mind of step 1 shenanigans between the gang
He's wearing hair extensions in step 3 since there's no way his hair could grow that much within a span of 2 years lmao
If you have any questions about Francis and/or his dynamics feel free to drop 'em in the replies!
