A bolshy Northern girl who more than ruffled a few feathers
at Grange Hill. Originally from the North East, Fran was
never afraid to speak her mind and could be quite catty
towards her fellow classmates at times. Woebetide anyone
in particular who dared fancy the same boy as Fran did.
However, Fran would fiercely defend those she cared about,
often taking the approach of direct action against those
who dared to upset her friends. Most of the time she was
easy enough to get along with, though boys found her intimidating.
REASON FOR LEAVING:
Went back to the North to complete her A-levels.
