Francesca Trapping

Francesca Trapping is the oldest daughter of Charlotte Trapping. She is a pivotal character in "Chemickal Marriage," the third book of the Glass Books Trilogy.

Appearance
Francesca is a young girl with red hair, very much like her uncle, Francis Xonck ...

Personality
By the time we spend a considerable amount of time with Francesca (primarily in "Chemickal Marriage"), she has been exposed to the Comte's Dark Volume and the alchemy of the indigo clay. These influences have weakened her health and turned her into a difficult, secretive, somewhat unpleasant child. She does not get along with Miss Temple, but has an obvious fondness for Dr. Abelard Svenson. Francesca spent some time with the Contessa, but it is difficult to tell how willing Francesca was to participate in the Contessa's plans. Francesca's knowledge of the indigo clay aids Doctor Svenson, but she pays a heavy price for her contribution....
