Angel Hare - The eerie animated mini-series that misses you
kelseypoppen for Friend Francis
Francis is a badger and a friend to Angel Gabby. Bumbling, doubtful, and somewhat pathetic, Francis is a vehicle for Angel Hare's intended episodic lessons. He isn't aware of the viewer like Gabby is, so when she breaks from the script, he's left behind to obliviously rattle off his scripted lines. He complains, questions, and grovels, but there should always be sincerity to his tone. Underneath all the flaws, he's loyal and faithful. He is best friends with an angel, after all - even if he relies a little too heavily on her aid.
[Timid but hopeful] I feel much safer with you around! [nervous laugh]
[Remorseful] I'm sorry, Gabby. I was scared you would be mad at me, but I shouldn't have lied.
[Pouting] Oh, how am I supposed to have the strength to face the day when the rain has me so shivery and cold?
