*Frances (フランシス, Furanshisu?), also known as Francine, is a character in the anime series Sonic X and its comic series published by Archie Comics. She is an adventurous human girl and one of Christopher Thorndyke's best friends.

Frances is a human girl with chin-length ginger hair, green eyes, and peach skin with freckles. At the age of seventeen, she gains neck-length hair and wears an aquamarine long-sleeved shirt under a green sleeveless shirt, rolled up beige pants with a brown belt, and brown shoes with shoelaces.

Six years after Sonic and his friends had returned home during Project Homebound, Frances and Danny would meet up with Helen and Chris to reminisce on all the good times they had with Sonic and his friends and hope that they would be able to visit them once Chris finished his work on the portal to Sonic's world.

Frances is a good student and a very successful person. She is a cheerful and energetic girl who thrives on dangerous excitement that would leave her other classmates feeling ill. She is happy to take on any challenges and is very decisive. In some situations though, she is very careful and cautious, usually when she has to look after her friends.*
