| − | '''Francesca Maggiori'''
| |
| | | | |
| − | Francesca is the middle of three daughters. She is the quiet one. Even at a young age she would often prefer to sit and read than go out in play, although she was often seen on long walks in the woods and fields around their home at night. She is probably the most religious of the three daughters and her love for the Goddess La Luna knows no bounds.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Francesca is an observer. She perfers to think carefully before speaking and will often wait until a discussion is almost over before summarizing her feelings on the matter. The empath gift in her is very strong which can cause her much internal distress when there are wars ranging all around her.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | What most people do not know, for Francesca never talks about it, that she was once married. However this man turned out to be a real rogue who beat her and verbally attacked her at every turn. He refused to allow the apothecary to attend her when she was sick with an infection in the lungs as a result of which she almost died.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Her husband, Sir Archibold Cranwell, was mysteriously killed in a bar brawl at this time. Mysterious because Francesca's uncle, Dimitri, was seen sneaking out the back door of the bar after the brawl, and before the local magistrate was called in. Mysterious also because no soon had this happened then the apothecary was a allowed to make a visit and Francesca began her slow road to recovery. She is ashamed of her past which is why she does not speak of it to anyone. She also lost a child during one of Archie's drunked beatings, a loss of which Francesca does not think she will recover from.

| |
| − | Francesca is still really weak from her illness, but she was determined to travel to Chaos Temple to give her wedding gift to Lalakis and Donna Ragna. But she then had to turn around and defend her home from monsters. Her troops suffered heavy casulaties and this has had a hugely detrimental affect on her health once more. It was all too much too soon, and Francesca is now travelling back to Chaos Temple in a semi-conscious state, with a fever running high, and Lisa, her devoted main, anxiously mopping her brow. Lisa looks to the moon and asks that La Luna will carry her Lady safely to Chaos Temple where she hopes they will find a man of healing to help her.

| |

| |
| − | Lisa has tears welling up in her eyes and desperation and churning in her stomach as she hopes it is not too late.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The troops lay Francesca on a nearby table and cover her with a fur. She is not even aware that they are there. Her body jerks and twitches as she mumbles incoherently. She is completely delerious. The fever has total control of her brain. Can I healer be found in time to break that fever and save her life? Who would be skilled enough to perform such a miracle?</i>~~
