Fran (フラン) Tensei shitara Ken deshita Reincarnated as a Sword 転生したら剣でした Fran is a black cat beastkin that embarked on a journey with her parents in order to search for a way to evolve. However her parents eventually passed away and she got enslaved as a result. Due to various circumstances, she crossed paths with the sentient sword and they both freed each other. Since the enslaving process robbed her of her name, the sword bestowed unto her the name "Fran," as that was how her parents called her. In return, Fran named the sword Shishio/Master, since he saved and taught her many things.
