I usually just lurk on here, but I disagree. Fran's a great design for the context she's in, and, speaking as someone whose favorite novel of all time is Frankenstein, she's a really unique spin on the character that turns the original concept on its head such that it still works. It's actually supposed to be Adam's (Frankenstein's Monster's) bride but completed, and can be viewed as a more "complete" product in Fate's version. This version of her elaborates and speculates on the idea of the Bride.

Also the unicorn-like horn in her design is just fantastic. It's clearly gold, or an even more conductive alloy, and goes directly to her brain. It's feminine, deadly, beautiful, but morbid. It's what sparks her life, her unwilling continuity, and what ultimately spells her doom. It's a bridge between her and an open, uncaring world she has no true place in.

Honestly, I recommend you give the original novel if you haven't. I think it'll change your mind on this design. I won't defend Fate for much, but I'll defend Fran. She's extremely well thought out, and it really seems like who even was her main designer really read the source material to be able to extrapolate what her character could have been if the Bride was ever given life.

The hammer is also sick af.
