Frannie Fabray

Biography
The eldest daughter of Judeth and Russell Fabray, Francesca, commonly known as Frannie, was born into what most outsiders view as the perfect, picturesque family. However, what happened behind closed doors was nothing short of a nightmare. The strict, religious patriarch was verbally and physically abusive to the women in his home, specifically his wife and eldest daughter. Growing up, Frannie tried her best to shield her baby sister from her father’s roughest points, and it tore her up inside knowing that she was not always successful She tried to make Quinn’s childhood as normal and bearable as possible given their circumstances, until the pressures of her own emotional scars and taking on this impossible responsibility at such a young age became too much for her to handle. Frannie left home for California after her high school graduation, seeking better opportunities and not looking back for anyone but Quinn.

It wasn’t long before Frannie met a passionate, charming, young businessman named Thomas Sinclair while working full time as a waitress in a Pasadena diner. The two were instantly smitten and, after a quick six months, became engaged and married within a week after her eighteenth birthday. She never really believed in soulmates or any of that hopeless-romantic drivel, but there was something about Tommy and being loved that erased all of the pain from her past. They were married for five glorious years before their relationship hit a rocky point that seemed impossible to reconcile: Tommy wanted children and Frannie, although originally excited about the idea, started showing uncertainty now that the dream was becoming a reality.
