Beautiful 16 year old twin daughter of a kind English sea captain, Franie has adopted the ways of her rescuer pirate father, Captain Cally, and his band of merry men. She is a "girl pirate" in the best sense of the words: dashing, brave and tough with a heart of gold. Franie lights up the room when she walks in. Every pirate in Cally’s band dotes on her every word. Secretly she’s in love with a fellow pirate, but afraid to show it for fear it might be mistaken for a weak, "girl" thing to do.
