Francis Delacroix
what is your ideal partner?
"A woman of good standing, who is charming and smart. Ideally, well, we get along quite well. And attractive, I suppose."
any 'dealbreakers'?
"Well, if I'm being frank, any partnerships where she is particularly unpleasant or the marriage doesn't bring any particular benefit to those in my care seems...pointless."
thoughts on kids?
"I was...I...I'd very much like a child, or children. One day."
one of your hobbies?
"I wander across the Highlands often. I also enjoy attempting to tame the owls roosting in our castle. They are proving an interesting challenge."

Romance is secondary to Francis - raised to be a king, he takes his duties seriously and has long since resigned himself to marriages borne purely out of political gain. In his ideal world, he gets along quite well with his partner and can trust her to support him in his efforts to care for his kingdom. Romances that challenge the strict worldview he has of what romance can be for Francis would be interesting. Arraigned marriage plots are definitely welcome too. It is possible that he is not attracted to women at all - but he has quite a bit of internalized homophobia and this is something being explored ICly.any 'dealbreakers'?

He will not leave the Concord, and his partner must get along with his sister, Mauve. Francis does have standards, strict ones, and is unlikely to allow himself to pursue a partnership with someone he sees as potentially harming social status, no matter what he desires. (He is set up quite nicely for a sort of 'starcrossed' type of romance, potentially.)thoughts on kids?

Francis, in his previous life, was married and had a child on the way. However, he lost his wife and unborn child to pregnancy complications. He is very close to what family he has left and would love to have children, but is extremely unlikely to do so out of wedlock, unless via adoption. He also has some trauma surrounding the tragedy in his past - this will be a major plot point should he ever have children.one of your hobbies?

He doesn't wander far from Concord territory. If he sees someone in need it's unlikely he'll be able to stop himself from trying to assist. He isn't very good at hunting yet, and just sort of herds the Highlands sheep around - training threads are a great option for bonding.other stuff
