Biography[]

Church of Gibborim[]

Meeting Jonah[]

Frances and her friend, Aura, often hung out with a man named David Ellerh. Ellerh had a little daughter named Leslie Ellerh, who followed him everywhere. One day, a man, who introduced himself as Jonah, talked to David. He told David about the Gibborim and all of the stories. Together, David and Jonah created an entire religion based on the stories. Aura and Frances were among the first to join.^[1]

Meeting Destiny Gonzalez[]

While cruising in the streets of Los Angeles with Aura, looking for runaways who could be welcomed into the Church of Gibborim, Frances encountered the young Destiny Gonzalez who was being harassed by two men. Frances and Aura took Gonzalez to their van, and despite Gonzalez's initial reluctance, she agreed to follow them.

Six months later, Frances attended a preaching session held by Leslie Dean.^[2] Once it was over, Frances and Aura informed Dean that Gonzalez was missing. Therefore, Frances accompanied Dean and Aura to the Los Angeles Bus Depot where they found Gonzalez.^[3]

Frank Dean's Failed Trial[]

As Frank Dean insisted to take a more active part into the Church of Gibborim's activities, Frances and Aura were charged with overseeing his attempt to ascend to the rank of Ultra, which included spending the night in the desert. In the morning, Frances and Aura joined Dean under his tent and informed him that he had failed, although Dean insisted to try again.^[4]

Escape of Karolina Dean[]

During another of their search for runaways, Frances and Aura picked up Chase Stein and Molly Hernandez, who posed as marginalized youths to rescue their friend Karolina Dean who was being held in the Church of Gibborim Executive Office. Frances and Aura took them back to the Church. As the newcomers filled in their forms, Frances and Aura noticed the unusual presence of Vaughn Kaye, accompanied by Stein and Hernandez. They asked Kaye whether there was a problem and agreed when he said that the two teenagers were perfect for Leslie Dean.

Later, Frances and Aura encountered Stein and Hernandez one more time, this time with Karolina who they tried to take out of the Church's office. Frances called the security, although Karolina tried to pretend that everything was right. As the security arrived, Frances told them which path to follow to capture the fugitives, who managed to escape nonetheless.^[5]

Gaining the Rank of Ultra[]

Frances and Aura took Frank Dean to see Jonah in the Church of Gibborim Executive Office. Later, they found Robert Minoru attacking Jonah. They hit him on the back of the head. Jonah thanked them and said they earned the rank of ultra.^[6] Under orders of Jonah, Frances and Aura handed guns out to the people of the church. This was in preparation of the Ascension. However, as they drove, they noticed that the car was driving itself. Frances called Dean, who simply explained that was not possible.^[7]

Betraying Leslie[]

Frances and Aura were then greeted by Frank Dean, who explained that Leslie Dean was falling off the path of her religion. He wanted their help in showing her the way once again.^[1] With Frank and Aura, Frances lured Leslie into a room. She saw the rehabilitation chair and chuckled to herself before trying to leave. However, the door was locked. They then forced Leslie into the chair.^[8] Under orders of Frank, Frances and Aura then brought Leslie to the Crater so that she could be reconditioned by S4E2R.^[9]
