Introducing Fransisa, the formidable Source-priestess from Source-Breaker. 1. What is your full name? Is there anything significant about your name? I am Dama Fransisa Cortadella, of the duchy of Cortadella Fira in the Kingdom of Pacetino, one of the Independent Kingdoms. In my capacity as a priestess of Source Chaitrasse, I am known as Sera Fransisa. 2. How old are you? They say that one should not ask a lady her age. That being said, I am forty years old. 3. Tell us about your family. What do you like and not like about them? My father is a duke of the second degree; however, my family is more highly connected, to a ducal family of the first degree, through my sister's marriage. I also have three brothers. I have seen my relatives less than once a year since I came to Source Chaitrasse, and we are no longer close, if we ever were. Still, I have done my best to do my familial duty and be a credit to them. 4. Who was your first kiss, and what did you think of it? Now that is definitely not a question one should ask a lady. Anyway, I prefer not to remember it, for various reasons. 5. What is your occupation? I am the senior priestess, after the High Priestess Sera Valara, at Source Chaitrasse. As Sera Valara is quite elderly and in frail health, I am also the acting managing priestess. I had expected to be the next High Priestess, until a young girl came to Chaitrasse less than a year ago, who is Chosen of the Source and therefore the natural heir to the position of High Priestess. Among my responsibilities are to teach and train her, to prepare her to step into the position. 6. What are your best and worst qualities? I have an aptitude for organization and administration, which allows me to keep everything running smoothly at Chaitrasse. I'm quite skilled in magic. I know that many people think of me as a harridan, a battle-axe. I suppose I do have a tendency to be stern, strict, overbearing, and impatient. I do what's necessary to ensure that the affairs of Source Chaitrasse are conducted in the proper manner. 7. What quality do you value most in a romantic partner? As an avowed servant of Source Chaitrasse, I am under a lifelong vow of celibacy. But were I free to marry and had the opportunity, I would prefer a man of excellent breeding, manners, and education, of intelligence and refinement, who would attend to his duties in a conscientious manner and be a credit to our families. As long as I'm daydreaming, I suppose I will add that if he were kind and honest and did not trifle with my feelings, I would appreciate that very much. 8. What is your favorite thing to do? There have been times when I have felt discontent with my lot in life, and using Chaitrasse's magic is a great source of happiness and comfort. 9. What is your greatest fear? Being useless and unwanted; having no place where I belong. 10. What is your most treasured possession? My ability to use magic and my affinity to the magic of Source Chaitrasse.
