She may not get along withlazy,jock andbig sister villagers, due to their conflicting lifestyles. She will also sometimes upsetpeppy villagers, usually by gossiping about them, and finding small things to judge them on. She will get along well withnormal,cranky and other snooty villagers.

| Description | Francine keeps her sister on a tight leash, which is odd given how apathetic she is about her own behavior. Maybe that shows how much she cares. | |
| Loading screen description | Francine keeps a very close eye on her sister, which is odd considering how little she gives self-reflection. Perhaps that shows just how much she cares. | |
