Franken Fran/Characters

Here are the characters of Franken Fran.

---

Fran Madaraki

Created by Naomitsu Madaraki, the world's greatest biologist, she was given superhuman surgical skills and left to handle the Madaraki estate and its engineered inhabitants. She is frequently sought by those eager to make use of Naomitsu's or her skills. Unfortunately, while given incredible skills by the Professor, she has also been left with an extreme aversion to killing, and possesses an almost child-like naivete in regards to the often horrific consequences of her actions.

• Artificial Human
• Blue and Orange Morality
• Cloudcuckoolander : Damn, is she ever.
• Covered with Scars
• Cute Monster Girl
• Frankenstein's Monster: Very similar visually, what with the stitches and the head bolts.
• For Science!
• Glasgow Grin
• Helpless Good Side: While recovering from getting cut in half bilaterally, Fran-M is nice and actually cares about her patient's quality of life, but is rather a pushover.
• Les Yay: Invoked a couple of times with Veronica in-universe, and pretty much played straight when her two halves finally reunite...
• Losing Your Head
• Love Freak: She's a "lover of love" and eager to help perform procedures that she thinks will bring couples together. That'll give you only a slightly higher chance of a not-that-bad ending.
• Mad Scientist
  • Mad Doctor
  • Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter : She is the creation of Dr. Madaraki, after all.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous
• Multi Armed Multitasking: Often attaches extra pairs of arms for surgery. Which, given the common outcome, leads to the above trope.
• Obliviously Evil: Doesn't seem to be aware of the horror she constantly causes with her work.
  • Nor does she seem to care that much when she does realize it, though this is mostly because she thinks that no matter how shitty a life can get, it's still better than death. And boy is she wrong.
• Only in It For the Money: On occasion. Super biology is expensive, after all.
• Parental Incest: Has a crush on her creator.
• Slasher Smile: When about to commence surgery.
• Tareme Eyes
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: Fran will do whatever it takes to save a life, even if it means giving the patient a Fate Worse Than Death.

Veronica Madaraki

Another, later, creation of the Professor, she was created to serve as his bodyguard, and is thus very much willing to resort to murder, though quick about it. She initially shows up as an antagonist, attacking the Madaraki estate after having been separated from the Professor. At first quite hostile to Fran, out of envy of her comfortable life and dislike for Thou Shalt Not Kill attitude, though after some experiments by Fran she becomes her willing bodyguard and foil.

• Action Girl
• Artificial Human
• Blade Below the Shoulder: Has an arsenal of weapons under her sleeves.
• Covered with Scars
• Cute Monster Girl
• Fun Size: After being sliced in half by Gavrill, Fran temporarily makes a smaller version of her.
• Little Miss Badass/Cute Bruiser
• Murder Is the Best Solution: Made with this in mind, and serves as a foil to Fran with how quick she is to resort to it.
• Nice Hat: Her fedora.
• Restraining Bolt
• Shrinking Violet/Not Good with People: In contrast to her nature as an assassin, she is terribly shy and has a hard time in getting along with other people.
• Stockholm Syndrome: Perhaps. After all, she did go from antagonist to doting little sis after a round of experimentation.
• Walking the Earth: What she did with the Professor and in-between his leaving and her arrival at the Madaraki estate.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Terribly afraid of ghosts.

Okita

A man with the body of a cat, Okita is another member of the Madaraki Estate, and much more down-to-earth than Fran. He usually serves as a voice of reason, that is, when Fran listens to him.

• Only Sane Man
• Petting Zoo People

Adorea

A young woman saved from death by Naomitsu Madaraki, though by the time he did it was too late to fully restore her. She now serves as a walking organ bank, consuming and storing organs for whenever they might be needed.

• Bandage Babe: Completely covered with them.
• Humanoid Abomination: Under the bandages, she appears to be some mass of tentacles.
• I'm a Humanitarian : That's one of the ways she can store spare organs and different blood types for Fran. It makes her look a bit chunky, though.
• The Ingenue: Well she's definitely gentlier and kinder than the sisters but as for innoncence....
• Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: A cover claimed she looked this way but....

Rumiko Kuhou

A recurring minor character; A female police officer who crosses paths with Fran and/or the results of Fran's experiments several times.

• Butt Monkey: In just about every chapter with her, something happens at the expense of her sanity.
  • Sanity Slippage: She snaps during the latest chapter featuring her after finding out the latest batch of clones of her Fran made are being used for the fantasy of some lightly crazy dude. And as if that wasn't bad enough, she is then mistaken for one and turned into a monster.
• Fair Cop : She's young, and really, really cute.
• Meganekko
• Unexplained Recovery : A few chapters after being transformed into a Cute Monster Girl, she is seen again as a human, with no explanation of how she was turned back or even the slightest mention of her time as a monster girl.

Gavrill Madaraki

The elder sister of Fran and Veronica, Gavrill is one of the earliest creations of Naomitsu Madaraki. She is violent and quite foul mouthed. Also, unlike her younger sisters she has absolutely no value for life.

• Absolute Cleavage
• Aloof Big Sister
• Awesome By Analysis: With her sense of smell, she can basically deduce everything about a person. And if her "lessons" during her time as university teacher is anything to go by, she's one hell of a Diabolical Mastermind. Sherlock Holmes would be screwed trying to outsmart her...
• Badass Teacher: In two volumes, Amatsuka asks her to become teacher at universities, one of which was filled with spoiled brats from rich families, three of which tried to beat and probably rape her. She was forbidden to kill anyone, but she managed to make all students like and come to her for councils, simply because she bluntly stated how they should solve their problems, with some rather evil hints at how to rape girls, become a Gold Digger and other horrible stuff.
• Berserk Button : If you value your life even a little, then for the love of Chrysler, do NOT fuck with Dr. Amatsuka.
• Cute Monster Girl : Mostly a matter of opinion, but when she isn't looking scary or creepy, she can actually look pretty cute.
• Dark Action Girl
• Diabolical Mastermind: For an ultra-violent cannibal monster, she has got great wits and some persuasion skills. She controls an gang (read "army") of thugs and she can be so insightful and convincing as a school counselor, she could very well become a professional Crime Boss like Kingpin if she ever wanted to.
• I'm a Humanitarian : The very first thing we see her doing is eating the severed arm of a guy she had killed moments earlier.
• Jerkass: The series has a lot of them, but she's one of the worst. As if casually slaughtering people for no apparent reason isn't enough, she loves to see people suffer, mentally or physically. An example is in chapter 59 : Veronica pretty much begged her to tell her who were the guys who had murdered her best friend. Gavrill told her that a lot of people were involved, more or less directly, in her death, but forbid her from laying a hand on any one of them or else she would kill Fran and everyone else that lives in the Madaraki mansion. Why did she do that ? Because she wanted her sister to wallow in despair. Holy shit.
• Red Baron : Her violent tendencies and the form she often takes when she gets serious during battles (As well as her flesh-eating habits) have earned her the nickname "The Wolf".
• The Juggernaut: A low-yield nuke did nothing more than piss her off.
• Shapeshifter Weapon : A human weapon, to boot.
• Lady Swears-A-Lot : Hell yeah.
• Super Senses: To the point where she can identify the perpetrators of a crime just by smelling the crime scene.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: According to the cover of volume 6, she has purple-colored hair.

Doctor Amatsuka

Another recurring minor character. He's been a friend of the Madarakis (Even Gavrill) since the days of the old Japanese Empire. His various achievements have earned him the title of Viscount of England. He sometimes aids Fran in whatever she's doing at the time, and performs check-ups on Gavrill every month.

• Morality Pet: To Gavrill.
