Wingsy: And we're done! Thanks for wanting to learn more about wee Franny! She'll be making more appearances soon!
I did a bio on wee Franny way back in the day when I was just getting started on making characters for GMD. She was something of an Artful Dodger/Gaveroche character that worked for Ratigan and really respected him. She was the leader of a group of children that were the kids of the thugs in Ratigan's emply and she generally led them on all sorts of misadventures. Now, she's more of a Ratigan version of a Baker Street Irregular. Ratigan employs newsboys and orphans to be his eyes and ears around the city. He also uses them to run errands for them and often repays them with either money or a warm place to stay the night.

Anywho, you guys should be seeing more of little Francesca and her crew soon. They will make an appearance in the Sterling Scandal if I can ever manage to update it. Enjoy!
