|Personality = Generally, people don't like Frances. They're certainly very passionate about her personality, though. Some call her a stuck-up bitch, some use worse adjectives. She was never one to deny that. If anyone could ever be fine with their own bitchiness, it's her. Her attitude has served her well through the years. When one wants to talk about politics openly in public, one has to be at peace with whatever others may describe them as. |

Another important characteristic of Frances' is her incredible ambition and dedication. Since her early childhood, she was taught she had to be the best. That didn't hurt or bother her, she enjoyed winning. Now, the outcomes of her upbringing are rather visible - she can be a sore loser. Her rare outbursts of rage are as terrifying as her usual cold exterior. She's also undeniably a snob, only enjoying the best items and company. All that may have been passed to some of her children - she doesn't watch them closely enough to notice nowadays. |

|History = Mary was born on 8 December 1542 at Linlithgow Palace, Scotland, to King James V and his French second wife, Mary of Guise. She was said to have been born prematurely and was the only legitimate child of James to survive him. She was the great-niece of King Henry VIII of England, as her paternal grandmother, Margaret Tudor, was Henry VIII's sister. On 14 December, six days after her birth, she became Queen of Scotland when her father died, perhaps from the effects of a nervous collapse following the Battle of Solway Moss, or from drinking contaminated water while on campaign. |

A popular tale, first recorded by John Knox, states that James, hearing on his deathbed that his wife had given birth to a daughter, ruefully exclaimed, "It cam wi' a lass and it will gang wi' a lass!" His House of Stuart had gained the throne of Scotland by the marriage of Marjorie Bruce, daughter of Robert the Bruce, to Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland. The crown had come to his family through a woman, and would be lost from his family through a woman. This legendary statement came true much later—not through Mary, but through her descendant Queen Anne. |

Soon after her eleventh birthday, Frances was already off on her very first journey to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Most children seek new acquaintances to sit in a compartment with aboard the Hogwarts Express, but Frances was not one of them. She simply found an empty one and stayed there for the entire ride. However, people tried to get into her compartment anyway. Her attitude pretty much stayed the same throughout the next seven years. She didn't try to gain any friends, but being as charismatic as she was scary, she managed to secure a rather sizeable group of... people attached to her in a way. Against all odds, she also managed to find love. Soon, she became engaged to the young, rich and handsome James Stuart. |

Unlike his father, James didn't strive for greatness. He wanted to honor his family, like every other Stuart, but he wanted to do it in a less extraordinary way. He, to an extent, wanted to live an idyllic life - or at least as close as he could get, being the member of such a powerful family. Having been a particularly... odd Gryffindor, many were surprised to hear he ended up marrying Frances. Her, marrying the Charms professor? It was virtually impossible to believe, and the idea of them leading a successful marriage was almost worth laughing at, but to the surprise of many, they've been together for several decades now, conceiving several beautiful children along the way. |
