PERSONALITY:

• Very soft and affable, albeit putting herself a polite distance from others.


• Carries a refined air thanks to her early years in the competitive world of French ballet.


• A weird oxymoron from above that she's so refined even when she does traditionally masculine things like fixing a motorcycle engine. Blame living with her brother and then dorming with 8 men and a boy.


• The mom friend. She will befriend and then cook people food. She also moms her students.


• She hasn't forgotten her middle-to-lower class routes, she tends to be thrifty.


• A tad cynical after her time as a pro hero.


• Has a self-depricating humor, she'd be the first person to poke fun of her being single at age 35.


• Secretive; a side effect of her quirk meant that she would know the hushed discussion or the most talked rumor, and that means she would be everyone's confidant whether they agreed to it or not.

HISTORY:
Francoise was born and raised in Paris, her parents died from an accident when she was a small child, leaving her older brother Jean raising her. Her quirk manifested a little after her parents' passing and it overwhelmed the little girl because it was constantly active to some extent. This puts her older, quirkless brother to confusion as the only people who would have any idea to help her control her quirk would be their parents. The only thing that seems to calm Francoise down -even if temporarily- was if she focused on films, this lead to the siblings playing random films for most of childhood.

Until by chance, their streaming service recommend them a 1948 film called the Red Shoes.

Never had she been as entranced as she was watching the Red Shoes. And somehow, with her picking up ballet not long after, it taught her the focus and balance she needed. Her body needed to get the timing and rhythm right as much as her mind needed to reorganized her attention to things outside of what her quirk picks up.

Eventually however, the promise of a degree in Electronics Engineering made her drop her dream as a ballerina. Her deligence shined through in college, at age 22, a russian scientist named Isaac Gilmore recruited her as part of the Gilmore Foundation's international hero team; the 00s. In her rookie years as 003, she mostly acted as mission control, giving the team intel or support needed. But over the years the team was active she gradually upgraded her equipment and learned to stand her ground in the field of combat.

The 00s eventually disband after nearly a decade of activity, their disbandment spread around like wild fire but no one seems to know the exact reason why they went on their separate ways. Everyone involved with the Gilmore foundation and the 00s are tight lipped about the whole thing. The real truth being that it was a combination of the heavy injuries the team had suffered in their last operation and rather controversial history their employer Dr. Gilmore has. With the risk of Gilmore's past being revealed to the public, everyone had a mutual agreement to simply end disband albeit not without some shout matches from certain members of the group. Some members continue on with their careers while others like Francoise choose to retire from being a pro hero.

I'm sorry I had to TL;DR this...

QUIRK:
Radar
Francoise's quirk gives her enhanced senses by default, though especially in sight and hearing. It's a toned down version of her canon enhancements, her hearing reaches up to 4 km square in radar fashion and her sight can reach up until 4 km. Adding a little more to that, her ears picks up sound frequency up to 64 Hz on average, similar to a cat's hearing.

While her quirk is constantly active, with further concentration, she has advanced thermoception than most humans and her hearing also increases from 64 Hz to 100 Hz. Both of these qualities allow her to further accurately locate any item or person within her range. When concentrating, her eyes will glow green thus anyone would notice when she's really pintpointing something. She can only hold onto this concentration mode for as long as 3 minutes.

The biggest drawback of her quirk is that it requires technique and management. Think like Daredevil's own radar senses, it's always on but it needs to be checked up constantly because otherwise it's just a torture of overwhelming senses. Her concentration mode while powerful leaves her drained and dealing with chronic headaches if it lasts longer than even a second beyond her limit. Both in and out of costume she requires using a special headgear to dampened most of the quirk's effects, she wears a headband that's design to hit pressure points to help lessen the pain. On worse days she has to drink painkillers to numb the pain that comes from sensory overload.

COSTUME:
Her costume is more in-line with her Call of Justice design, in that it's more designed for stealth recoinsance. The only other change to her uniform however is that she wears special eyewear to hide her eyes during combat, they also function as a dampener to prevent her limitation to some extent. However, since she officially has retired as a hero, she'd be seen more in her regular business attire. If Jurassic World can have its main heroine outrunning a fucking T-Rex in pumps, so can she.
