People's greed and cruelty is why my world is so bad now... If I can change humanity itself to be less selfish, less greedy, less evil...

Francine Fisher, commonly known as Frankie, is a participant of Crab 3, as the leader of Odyssey. A former human affected by a plague that turned her into a beast (cute otter), and a war survivor, Frankie works as a therapist for equally affected people from her world where they struggle to survive both the worst aspects of their condition and their human oppressors. She is from the same world as Bernard from the previous tournament.

Appearance

Personality

Frankie is polite, positive and helpful to others. She is down to earth as well when compared with other Crabs, having realistic expectations and preferring to approach things from a practical viewpoint, such as taking the job to investigate the cures in Centuria. Her job as a therapist makes her perceptive and kind to the madness of other Crabs as well.

She can be a bit too trusting and is always eager to believe in other’s goodness - and give more opportunities, although deep down her survival in her own world makes her believe the tendency of people to be evil is what ruins things.

As the tournament progressed, she began to feel more and more affected by her team’s losses and her overall situation, likely hitting rock bottom the moment Tenebris questioned her wish. However despite this and her mental crisis she actually managed to not schism and had to be pushed to by the Gamemaster, showing a great deal of self determination on her part.

Powers and Abilities

She can swim pretty well, being an otter. Outside of this, Frankie is even beneath a normal human in terms of strength and seemingly doesn’t have any power outside of her understanding of psychology and how to calm and help others.

However, once she became schismed, she gains powerful telekinetic abilities, allowing her to float as if underwater, as well as to control the water of the ambience around her, such as sucking it away from a person and creating powerful blasts with it. She has as well clairvoyance and can read an opponent’s heart to pick at their worst traumas - this also grants her some minor ability to read the future and avoid attacks or the like.

Once she is under the schism, her condition cannot be reverted, and she cannot be talked out of it nor knocked unconscious in any way - she behaves like a zombie that attacks relentlessly until her whole body cannot function anymore.

Background

History

Recruitment

Frankie was wandering after work, wondering how much she wished she could fix her world, when the Gamemaster appeared in cat form and, having read her mind, wondered if he could help her. She responded in panic because he was naked - so to assure her, he created clothes with magic (and also summoned Kevin behind her). Convinced with this demonstration, Frankie asked more and he explained to her what Crab was about, asking if she was interested while waiting for her answer to unleash Kevin. Frankie accepted in the end, so he shoved her off panel until she landed on the new Odyssey Airship. After screaming that was scary in rage, she found a letter addressed to her confirming she was the headliner of her team.

Round 1

Frankie Fisher (won, entry) vs Yuna (lost, entry) in Find A Cure. Match page: C3 R1 - Frankie Fisher vs Yuna

In Centuria, both Yuna and Frankie joined the Forest Alliance.

In their shared reality, they were both sent to cure the Plague destroying the Forest Alliance, despite Frankie’s doubts that she could do a good job as she was a therapist. Upon arriving Frankie was attacked by a wolf, that Yuna put to sleep with a suggestion. Seeing their mercy, the Forest dwellers allowed them to properly teleport near Der Baum, and welcomed the healers from another dimension, with Der Baum explaining the issues presented by the White Plague and allowing them to take any resources. Hearing this, Yuna resolved she would heal the plague by finding out who was causing it and bringing them to justice. Despite Frankie’s insistence that it would not heal the ill, Yuna did not listen and excitedly went to hunt for the plague spreader, laughing at the silliness of “Germ Theory”. Yuna interviewed a few sickly forest dwellers, who spoke about having met a rat girl, then used her power to read the memories of fabric left behind by this rat. Meanwhile, Frankie began the arduous task of investigating and studying on her own a cure of the plague using the Forest library and the magical implements granted to her by them - however, her efforts did not bear fruit and she wondered how she could heal something never seen before in Centuria, wondering as well if it was anthrax. Just as she was losing hope, she managed to find out about a Lumin Tree, whose fruit was said to be able to heal any illness. Back to Yuna, she encountered Gouda, the aforementioned rat, about to blow such a tree, and despite Gouda’s pleading Yuna beat her in one punch. She returned asking if everyone was healed, and was disappointed to find it was not the case. When Frankie appeared and said she had found a possible cure, Yuna recognized the tree from before, although she was more fascinated at the concept of books. Then, the robot picked up Frankie with telekinesis and went flying towards the tree, with Frankie’s thoughts of annoyance and indignation being silenced once Yuna asked her to think quietly. On the tree, Yuna tried to take the fruit, but couldn’t pull it off the stem despite her best efforts, even ignoring her own dark side’s suggestion to help. Desperate seeing Yuna about to break the tree, Frankie read and shouted it was meant to be someone “untainted” who could grab the panacea. Yuna wondered how she would be “tainted” and suggested Frankie try it, but Frankie argued her condition counted as a disease as well. Despite this, once she was asked to try, the fruit came out easily, with Yuna looking somewhat sour and understanding the taint could refer to Runa. After this, they both worked on the cure, which Yuna spread flying through the entire forest, healing everyone.

Round 2

Sentimia (won, entry) vs Frankie Fisher (lost, entry) in Matsuri. Match page: C3 R2 - Sentimia vs Frankie Fisher

In Japan, Sentimia took on the kemono potion, turning bunny-like, while Frankie took the anime potion and gained Momo Yaorozu’s power from MHA.

In Frankie’s reality, her and Sentimia conversed together about Sentimia’s new form as they looked for the shrine where the festival was to be held. Finding the shrine to be in an abandoned and empty state, Frankie told Sentimia it was their moment to shine and used her new anime power to create appropriate clothing for the festival. They began working and setting up things for the night - and then the festival began, with all Crabs attending and having fun: Soren and Dylan eating candied apples, Kome and Hime catching fish, Overkill and Mishka playing games for fumos, with Harry dropping a cigarette into the fireworks, causing them to detonate and blowing poor Sack skywards.

In Sentimia’s canon reality, the festival continued with Sentimia speaking to Frankie in her spiritual form - due to the festival, her powers had extended and she was almost omnipresent and said she was only sleeping in her shrine until everyone arrived. She said then Frankie was her most special guest of the festival, and grabbed Frankie’s spirit to show her around the festival and the Crabs having fun. Frankie wondered if only she could see Sentimia in this state and the goddess said that her and the commentators, who greeted them happily. After exchanging pleasantries with her husband Tenebris, she and Frankie began enjoying the festival themselves, the fish, fireworks, sweets, fumos, all of it. Frankie then thanked Sentimia as she hadn’t had such a fun time in a while, but found herself speaking to no one - the spirit had vanished, and then the actual Sentimia in her shrine cabin woke up. As the goddess of emotion, Sentimia thanked the festival and decided to give Frankie her blessing, for being a kind soul who helped people all her life. She asked Frankie what colors did she see her eyes at, when the girl replied white, Sentimia noted Frankie wished to relive her past, and granted her the feelings and memories of times long gone, granting her respite and happiness and the chance to once again regain joy.

After the round, Frankie was found by Dylan at their ship, and she lamented how she would soon stop being human. Surprised that she wasn’t always an otter, they both conversed about their worlds’ respective apocalypses, with him confessing his wish to find a hero among the people in the tournament to help his world. Frankie noted a hero would not suffice to fix her world which was affected by the overall evil of humanity - and instead hoped to use her Wish to cut off those evils from humans themselves. Upon saying that, Tenebris appeared and mocked her wish, calling it surprisingly evil and aptly noting it was another way of restricting human freedom to her own desires. Lurker noted mortals did everything they could to avoid pain, as Frankie looked down conflicted and ashamed.

Round 3

Wanzu (lost, entry) vs Frankie Fisher (won, entry). Match page: C3 R3 - Wanzu vs Frankie Fisher

In Wanzu’s reality, LOVE was seeing the clouds at the Odyssean airship when Frankie approached her and asked her for a way to fix the plague hurting her world since there was a good chance they would not win the Tournament. LOVE offered to create a Frankie clone, but they were interrupted by Wanzu who asked them if they were spying, given that they were near where the Light Magic Club was training. Although the situation was tense, in the end Wanzu gave LOVE a pocket dimension to help them, and LOVE got inside it along with the clone she made of Frankie to study it and the plague. Frankie then gave the dimension cube to Dylan to watch over. Later, the Light Magic Club were fishing and Ocapon asked Wanzu why did she join the tournament given she could have anything with her power. Wanzu replied she wondered herself - she was everything and could do everything but needed to decide and find her own reason. A day later, a worried Frankie wanted to check on the alternate dimension made by LOVE given that there was no response inside. Having snuck into the ship to steal cheese from them, Gouda hid from Ludwig and tripped, ultimately falling into a room where the schismed version of Frankie tried to eat her. Breaking through the door, Dylan came to the rescue only to find Kome had teleported to the ship to rescue Gouda - Kome explained she was not to blame and that she had no reason to attack Odyssey given that the Gamemaster had made Wanzu Frankie’s opponent anyways, and left with her teammate. Then, the battle finally began in the Bucket. An extremely bishoned-up Berbie explained then the rules, and Wanzu entered the arena in her top divine form, opening a rift through dimensions, while the schisming Frankie was brought by the gnomes in a cage. Wanzu prepared to face Frankie with a smile then, while staring at you, the person reading this article. How are you?. Frankie then tried to read Wanzu’s mind, but all she found was absence of dreams or desires and wondered why she couldn’t pry further. Lamenting Frankie’s pitiful state, Wanzu gave her an offer: of power over everyone. Though Frankie attacked the divine Wanzu in vain, Wanzu observed Frankie’s mind was too broken to understand her offer and thus she would first make her go through heaven and hell countless times to allow her to choose her own state of mind first and whether to take the power offered. Frankie was then transported through dimensions, and eventually woke up as her human self in an empty void, then back to her office in what seemingly was her world, where her “patient” (cat Wanzu) appeared and began asking her questions, like why she ultimately refused to go with her plan of limiting human evil and greed. Frankie replied it equaled to taking free will, with Wanzu denouncing free will was used to wage wars. Frankie then replied she hoped the right choice would be taken at some point, and the goddess scoffed at the idea, mentioning the hope from Pandora’s Box, calling hope a curse of human naivety. Frankie however argued Wanzu was nobody to say that and that hope could be there too to seal the evils of humanity back. The cat goddess replied she said so because she had the power to make it true, to dictate what was reality and what was right or wrong, and so would Frankie too. Frankie replied she just wished to be like any human, and Wanzu said that true power had also the possibility of taking away itself. She offered Frankie to accept or reject. Back in the arena, only ten seconds had passed, with Wanzu having surrounded everything with cosmic smoke that made things impossible to see - however, Berbie detected Frankie’s life signals had vanished and declared Wanzu’s victory. In the Odyssey ship, having finished her work, LOVE used her own cosmic dust to return to where Frankie was, and found her seemingly dead on Wanzu’s arms. As the saddened spectators solemnly left the arena, Dylan turned around to see a healed Frankie, waving at him with a sad smile.

In Frankie’s winning reality, Tenebris took on the role of Berbie given that the landlord was occupied suppressing the Nuremberg rebellion, and he introduced the two mismatched opponents. Seeing what she had to face, Frankie decided to quietly quit, the only power and liberty given to her in the situation, but this attracted the Gamemaster’s ire, who then simply appeared in the arena and forced schisming into the otter girl in order for her to reach her “maximum potential”. Ocapon then explained to Odyssey the wizard had used a simple spell to dampen Frankie’s ego; sinking into despair, Frankie screamed and mentally broke right as the match began, becoming her schism self. The Gamemaster then sent the maddened otter against the goddess, stating her purpose was solely to entertain him. The fight then began, Lurker noting even with this transformation, the matchup was unfair. The Gamemaster admitted it was, and that it was Frankie’s destiny to lose: he revealed then his purpose was to punish Bernard for his aiding the rebellion and Frankie was merely a tool of this and his entertainment. The battle had then begun, with Frankie flying towards Wanzu and draining the liquid from the goddess, creating a devastating blast of water that had no effect whatsoever. The goddess then trapped Frankie in a sphere, and asked her if she could speak, to which Frankie revealed she could - when asked about what had happened, Frankie stated she had seen the truth and schismed, the truth being that living was despair and of the self’s destruction. She had looked through the experiences she had at the tournament, and how it all seemed designed to give her hope yet ending up leaving her feeling in more despair than before - however, even though she gained her new power, it was useless as she could not see anything from Wanzu’s mind and all she could do was to wait for the end. Wanzu asked then the otter if she wanted to schism, with Frankie not replying and wondering why Wanzu even cared - this made the sphinx laugh, and note that despite the rumors she was not as nefarious as people believed. She had noticed Frankie wanted to quit and wondered if staying to fight was truly her decision. Frankie admitted she wanted to quit to avoid schisming, and with a sad look, Wanzu then thanked her and readied her Red Arm of Destruction. She surprisingly aimed her attack then not at Frankie, but at the Gamemaster, who only had a moment to be angered at the rebellion before horribly melting at the molecular level on his seat. Wanzu chided the Gamemaster for enjoying the Crab’s suffering and making such an unfair match, then used the Arms of Order to restore Frankie to her pre-schism self. The announcers then interrupted the match, saying they would have to wait until the Gamemaster returned, although Wanzu gloated he would return when she desired, and that if the tournament were to end they would at least take out the element of despair. Kindly being left back on the arena, Frankie noted no one had cured schism before and thanked the goddess, who replied she was just happy Frankie was herself once again.

After Crab 3

After the tournament ended, Frankie said goodbye to Dylan and Mishka, and ultimately returned to her world. It is unknown if she asked for a wish to the new gods but she might have requested at least the schisming to be cured - she is seen back in her world in Kome’s epilogue.

Relationships

Life Within CRAB

She began dating Lenard by about the final round, becoming a couple and hanging on the H.A.U.N.T. blimp.

At least once smoked with Awesoman and others.

The Gamemaster was known to be rather obsessed with her.

Frankie provided free therapy to many Crabs after the tournament. Some of those include Mishka to whom she apologized for how their team went, Awesoman who had been traumatized by the events, Wietse who felt derealization after becoming a god, Kalinka who doubted her humanity, and Balkari who misread the sign and wanted some lemonade.
