Frances Pepper



Frances Pepper comes from a remote, small island of known for its hardy fisher-gnomes. Frances’s parents, grand parents, and ancestors twenty generations back were all fisher-gnomes. But the fishing life never appealed to Frances as much as reading adventure books. Frances longed to see the world outside of her small island.

When Frances grew up, she traveled to the mainland to attend university. She spent several decades studying and perfecting her magical skills. Frances became very close to her mentor, a magnanimous gnome witch with many powers, and just as many secrets. She promised Frances that on the eve of her graduation, she would teach her one last lesson to prepare her for the road after academics. But the lesson never happened, as Frances found her mentor murdered on that very night. All evidence pointed to the innocent Frances. As the investigation continued, Frances knew that if she stayed at the university, she would be charged with a crime she did not commit. So Frances made the difficult decision to leave the life she knew and go on the run, and in search of the truth.

Later on, Frances learned that the murder of her professor had some ties to the OHB.

Frances is a core member of the Pretty Cool Ones.
