Biography[]
Elena Gilbert used Frances's vulnerability to her advantage, and asked her to obtain a copy of Stefan Salvatore's class schedule, whether by copying it from Stefan or stealing it from the office.[3] She later presented the schedule to Elena.[3] After hearing the rumor that Stefan was a drug addict, Frances went to tell Elena, who feigned disinterest and told her about her fictional relationship with Jean-Claude, asking her to keep it a secret. In reality, she was manipulating Frances, and counted on her spreading the story around the school, which she did.[4]
Frances spoke at Elena's memorial service, mistakenly interpreting Elena's actions that September as having been friendly, when, in reality, she was simply using her.[5]
