Frenchie is one of Agnes’s neighbors on the Rib. She’s middle-aged and more flamboyant than most women in the area, favoring bold colors and heavy makeup. Known for her bluntness, she can come off as presumptuous, but her loyalty to the community is clear—she even throws a farewell party for Dora-Rouge just days after losing her own daughter, Helene, to the Hungry Mouth of Water. Frenchie is in a relationship with Justin LeBlanc.
