Fran

Fran is the deuteragonist of Reincarnated as a Sword and a famed powerful adventurer known as Black Lightning Princess. Fran is an extremely adorable, pretty-looking, petite, young black cat girl with dark eyes and short black hair. She has black cat ears and a black cat tail. After evolving, Fran obtains an Awakened state, where she gains golden-colored eyes and her tail gains alternating black and ash grey stripes. As a result of gaining the rare Black Heavenly Tiger evolution, rather than the standard blue lightning that would be seen emanating off of a regular evolved Black Tiger like Rumina, Fran's lightning is black in color. Adventurers and slave traders alike have tried to harass her, either because they underestimated her or because they were mesmerized by her beauty and petite stature that shadowed her fearsome combat versatility as an adventurer lest she do not attack others unless provoked. Fran is normally stoic and expressionless, but she also displays great amounts of enthusiasm for activities such as eating (especially when curry is involved) and fighting strong opponents. Anyone who insults her teacher, his curry or mocks her for being a Black Cat will face her wrath. Fran is overall a caring and kind person, and her warm heart gained her many invaluable friends and comrades ranging from merchants, sailors, nobles, royals, and adventurers despite her unsocial and verbally reticent nature. Fran is also shown to be quite humble, as she almost never flaunts her fame and influence through her personality. Although, her fame as the legendary Black Lightning Princess is something she took pride in for being able to prove that her tribe, the Black Cats, which were looked upon as inferior in social status for being weak, could give rise to someone as famous and as powerful as her. In a sense, she redeemed the pride and honor of her fellow tribe. Her multiple unsurpassed achievements and power were also a result of her mental fortitude, self-discipline, and conviction to achieve her goal of achieving evolution; these traits also serve as motivation through her arduous life as a slave and stressful yet thorny journey as an adventurer. Her amiable trait of not giving up in any agonizing situation bore her result of what she is now and the attainment of her hard sought evolution. Fran is almost completely unafraid of the idea of displaying violence and mercilessness for the sake of achieving her goals, and many adventurers, mercenaries, slave traders, etc. who have insulted, offended, or challenged her without knowing the extent of her power sometimes didn't live long enough to regret it afterward. Fran does not completely understand metaphors and will take things literally. As of the most recent raw chapter, Fran showed restrain and humility when she was offered an upgrade to A Rank after her great achievement in Goldicia, which she rejected under the pretense that she can't be compared to the great adventure with great feat and contribution like Amanda and Forlund just yet but agreed to the terms that Guildmaster Gamud mentioned in which any subsequent contribution by Fran after that conversation will result in a forceful A Rank upgrade without qualms.
