Fran

Fran is a black cat beastkin that embarked on a journey with her parents in order to search for a way to evolve. However her parents eventually passed away and she got enslaved as a result.

Due to various circumstances, she crossed paths with the sentient sword and they both freed each other. Since the enslaving process robbed her of her name, the sword bestowed unto her the name "Fran," as that was how her parents called her. In return, Fran named the sword Shishio/Master, since he saved and taught her many things. She also gains a darkness wolf familiar named Urushi.

She loves curry.

After many hardships, she manages to evolve into a black heavenly tiger beastkin, one of the few divine beast evolutions that used to be regarded as royalty in the past.
