Appearance
Framboise is the sort who favors blending in, although her pale complexion and vibrant hair doesn't lend itself to that very well. She always has either a very attentive look on her face, or a very bashful one. She's easily flustered, blushing on command when a taunt is aimed her way.
In spite of her tiny demeanor, she is tall and lithe, though soft and not very well-toned. Her tender frame is often cloaked by heavy robes and layers of fabric. She prefers to remain well hidden and aims to avoid catching the eye of others.
Behavior
Although easily excitable, Framboise is quite mild-mannered, especially for an "Adventurer." The best way to describe her is "bona-fide magic geek." She hails from a peculiarly large family of powerful black market string-pullers, though she does her best to distance herself as far from that association as possible. She's often regarded by her kin as the "black sheep" of the family, favoring nurturing and communal pursuits rather than indulging the cut-throat nature of her heritage. When presented with the opportunity to leave home to study the art of conjury, she was packed and on the road by morning. She continues to look for opportunities to learn new things, help those around her, and basically find any reason not to return home.
+ Prim and Proper
Black market doesn't necessarily mean living in shadows and filth. Keeping up appearances was absolutely necessary for conducting business, and etiquette was engrained into Fram at an early age. That way, when it was time to get nasty, you knew things got serious.
Sadly, Fram never learned the part about being nasty.
+ Intense
Sometimes all that propriety gets to be too much, and Fram gets carried away when talking about her interests and the things she's learned. In addition, when given a task, or when she sees something needing to be done, she proceeds without much consideration for the comfort of others.
+ Gullible
Typical of devout types, when they carry such extreme knowledge of a particular topic, they end up being grossly lacking in others. Fram is no exception. She might have a brilliant mind, but all that mental energy is spent on studying the various magic the Eorzean schools have to offer. So...Fram's not exactly the "worldly" type.
+ Intelligent and Studious
She's smart. She thinks a lot. She's inquisitive and curious. This pretty much speaks for itself, doesn't it?
+ Bossy (sometimes)
Sometimes, when she sees a job that needs to be done, she'll get right to work on it...and expect that others will join in with her. It's difficult for her to sit back and be silent when she knows how things *should* be done, so who wouldn't want a little guidance? ...sometimes it's not exactly welcome, however...
+ Doting
Fram is a nurturer by nature, and can't bear to stand by while she sees others uncomfortable, unhappy, or in need. It was this behavior that kept her from fitting in with her family, and also continues to be a constant source of distraction from her studies.
+ Easily Flattered
Being gullible doesn't help matters much...but a kind word or two will get you anywhere with Fram. She thrives on positive attention and is incapable of hiding her pleasure when praised for even the smallest things.
+ Creature Comforts
In a nutshell, Framboise is a wuss. If she had her way, she'd spend her life taking hot baths, drinking flavored teas, wearing comfy shoes and being lazy in bed. Adventuring is a means to an end for her, and though she loves exploring and learning new things, she could very much do without being subjected to the elements. (Some Conjurer she is, eh?)
Combat
Framboise aims to master all the magic disciplines, recently having attained the title of Archmage (over what, that remains to be seen). Having only studied for a year, however, she has a ways to go...She's recently taken up Astrology at the behest of Oria Mavekix and is under the tutelage of I'zimzizi Yarhuh in order to take up the mantle of Red Mage.

General
In addition to studying alchemy under Kalen Cook and more recently A'mirah Vanih, she also dabbles in the culinary arts. She also fancies herself something of an herbalist. In the past she spent a great amount of time unearthing artifacts and other such baubles with Galen Aubrey.

- "Huh? You talking about Fram? I swear if you want to hurt her I will shove this lance up your *bleep*! Oh? Nothing like that..? Well... She tends to be a bit distant and a bit spaced, but you will never find a smarter Miqo'te in Eorzea... Well I never did anyway! *laughs*" - Iliette Guillestet
- Overheard while in the marketplace: Random Drift member 1: I heard Fram is into subligars now. She's making a squad of followers, called the "Subligarmy". Random Drift member 2: Well, I better stock up on leather!
