*I kind of smooshed several hobbies into one, because if I did them all individually she would have like 50 hobbies*
Frank is a little bit of a tomboy at heart. While she likes to be girly and cute, she is not one to she away from outdoor exploration, and all of the dirt that she is bound to get covered in. Climbing trees, riding her bike through the woods, camping, hiking, she loves it all! A big step away from the typical child who spends their time watching TV and playing video games, she would much rather get out in the sun and pretend her own grand adventure. She is often puzzles by her school friends resistance to such activities, but tries her best to pull others into her world of imagination, especially if it is outside exploring!
Reading: Franky is particularly fond of fantasy stories, and has recently discovered the " Unicorns of Balinor " series in the dusty corners of the public library. Whatever book she is reading is direct imagination fuel for her outdoor activities. She has a thoroughly active imagination only prompted by the encouragement of her parents. She prefers going to the library and checking out a backpack full of books then spending her allowance on her own books, so while she actually owns very few books, she always has at least two in her little backpack. She can often be found at the park reading, if she isn't out in the works of some shenanigans with her friends.
Swimming: From a young age she has been drawn to the water, and took to it like a fish. She was always one of those children who didn't need much prompting to go swimming. Is that a pond? Lets go swimming. A Lake? YAY, SWIMMING?! A River?! OHMIGAWD LETS GO SWIMMING!! Sometimes even when swimming is not the best of ideas, she still does it. She has caught many a cold because she went swimming when it was to cold out, but just couldn't help herself. She prefers natural water over chemical filled pools, but will not hesitate to jump in.
Bike Rideing: Frankie rides her bike everywhere. And I mean everywhere. To school, to the Library. So her friends houses. To the grocery store to buy a bag of skittles. To the Park. It doesn't matter. If she can get away with taking her bike instead of a car, she will. She rides it for practicality, but she also just honestly enjoys it. Her bike is an old beat up hand-me down from her older sister, but she loves that thing like it is a living breathing pet. Her parents have offered to get her a new one, but she doesn't want one, she already has the most perfect bike ever.
Video Games: Sometimes its just not safe to be outdoors. Her older brother introduced her to world of warcraft and League of legends when she was " just a kid " (aka a few years ago) Some of her fondest memories are of her and her family curled up, with her brother teaching her how to play these games. It takes a bit of a backside to her more outdoor activities, but she still enjoys it, and sometimes secretly stays up late when she should be asleep to get a few levels in. If anyone is curious, she plays a druid, in WoW!
Virtues:
Energetic: Franky is filled with buckets of energy, and more then likely she is going run you ragged before she starts to get tired, so be prepared for a non-stop hyperactive munchkin! This can be very uplifting for the people she is around, almost as if her energy is contagious. She is willing to pour every ounce of herself into whatever she is doing ( Though that doesn't necessarily mean she is doing it well ) Rarely will she look at a task and be daunted by it, in fact, she will more then likely be out the gate and trying to do whatever it is you asked before you finished explaining what it is you wanted her to do. It is a little bit of a double edged sword, but if you can keep up with her and direct all that energy, it can be a wonderful and helpful thing!
Optimistic: This little girl has a very bright outlook on life. A combination of both her age, a happy home life, and a constitution that some maintain is just several buckets of sunlight and freckles, she always has a great outlook on things. And you can be certain that she is going to tell you exactly WHY whatever is going on is a good thing! She will try and make you feel better about a bad situation by pointing out what she considers to be the bright side, or just try and share her joy over the small things that make her happy. Generally this is a good thing, but combined with her general hyper personality she can be a little much to take for some people.
Persistant:
Once Franky has her mind set on something, or decides something, she is set on that course pretty much indefinitely. If she wants to be your friend, then by all that is she will make that happen. If she wants to take you to the park, she will badger and poke and cajole like a champion, and before you know it, there you are scampering down a dirt path in your sneakers. She can be like a dog with a bone sometimes, and it CAN get on peoples nerves if they are particularly unperceptive to whatever it is she is trying to accomplish, but generally her intentions are good. It is a known trait that some of her more close friends use to their advantage. The class wants to go to the zoo instead of the natural history museum? You put Franky on the task, and sooner or later that destination is going to be changed to one with live animals instead of just bones!
Flaws:
Hot-Headed: Some people call it fiesty, some people call it high-maintenance, some people call it passionate. Regardless of what you call it, Franky is ruled by her emotions, and she is not one to keep her emotions bottled. If you tick her off,you WILL know. She may be girl who likes to dress cute, but she has been known to get into a scuffle or to ( Especially when people insult her height. ) She will defend her friends with the same fiery passion, and sometimes... well it can cause more problems then it solves.
Stubborn: Seriously, once franky has made up her mind about something, there is no changing it. If she wants to paint her room neon green with hot pink polka-dots, there is no amount of talking you can do that will change her mind. That is, untill she actually DOES it and two weeks later realizes what a horrible mistake that was. The same can be said about her opinions of people. If she gets it in her head that she doest like you, then chances are... well.. you arent going to be friends. On the flip side, if you make a friend out of her early, or earn her trust, she will defend you with her last dieing breath, even if you dont necessarily deserve it.
Reckless: Francesca does not always think things through before she does them. Things like consequences and the risk of getting hurt is not foremost in her mind, so she will often do things that would make the adults around her turn prematurely gray, or pull out their own hair before it even had a chance to do that. It might be something as simple as running in the hallways at school, and taking the corner at a run. It might turn out fine, or she might barrel into someone. Or it could be as big as deciding that trying to climb that ledge sounds fun. She could seriously endanger herself, but to her it is a challenge. the parents of her close personal friends have learned to ask were they are going, or if there is going to be an adult there if its somewhere a little more exotic than the local park.
