Pokémon Type: Normal
Normal Types don’t get the respect they deserve. You can say that they’re bland and lack distinguishing characteristics, but the truth is that they’re adaptable. They don’t veer into extremes. Unlike some other types, they aren’t caricatures of a handful of traits. They’re even-keeled. Complex. Chit-chatting with a normal is comforting and yet stimulating. They’re the perfect new buddy.
A Normal Type looks out for their own safety and comfort first and foremost. They have a “neutral” alignment. They may seem free of ideology, not committed to ideals. But that’s because their worldview is highly practical and concrete. Normals live in the here and now. They are fabulous at accepting reality on its own terms. Consequently, many Normal Types are very well adjusted and happy, and let most of life’s bullshit slide down their back.
Pokémon Subtype: Fairy
Fairy Types are dreamers and effective healers. Each has their own unique aesthetic sensibility, and proudly holds at least a handful of bizarre-seeming beliefs that they’d absolutely love to tell you about. They are steadfast lovers of all things strange, so they often collect friends with idiosyncratic interests, niche hobbies, and scary pasts. Detached from reality, morality, and convention, fairies seem to be almost ageless and inhuman. Fairy Types are nonjudgmental, accepting, and curious — sometimes excessively so. Sometimes they get too hung up on healing other people, and veer into co-dependence.
Fairies can seem childlike and kind of sloppy even well into adulthood, but often play it off with a likable charm. Fairies are sensitive and emotional, but don’t like talking about what’s bothering them. Human emotions are just too hard for them to understand. Even once you get to know a Fairy very well, you’ll have the sense that they have a whole second life, full of misadventures, that they are keeping from you. You’re right.

You know the Knight in Shining Armor trope? That’s probably the best tl;dr summary of France.
He’s known the Elswoods since birth, their dads are best friends and growing up his best friend was Jonah (Ches’s twin brother). So he’s always spent a lot of time with them, it was almost a no brainer to say yes when Cade and Emmett asked him to join the band.
Growing up he was always the responsible one of the group. If Ches and Seri ran off to get into trouble, he was running right behind them to grab them before they got themselves hurt. Sometimes now they’re adults, it’s hard for him to stop himself from continuing to do that with most of his friends - but especially those two.
France is very much so a pacifist. The only reason he joined the military was to gain his mother’s approval, even if it meant going against his core values, because “it was the right thing to do.” (He doesn’t agree with that stance now, it’s his biggest life regret.)
Of course, hindsight is 20:20 and he knows now it was a horrific decision. While he was overseas, he was captured and tortured - and “while he’s lucky to be alive” sometimes he can’t help but wish he’d died with the rest of unit. (So yeah… this kid’s got some issues. I swear he’s in therapy).
He can fix your problems, and he will try his best to without hesitation. His problems? Off the table, he won’t humor discussing them at all. It’s probably the only time you’ll see him get “defensive.” Don’t expect him to ask for help, even with the smallest of things. He’s “got this covered, so don’t stress it.”
Never yells, if he raises his voice something is seriously wrong.
Very much the calm one in every situation - especially in crisis. He’s very good at compartmentalizing until he’s alone and that’s when the panic sinks in.
France has a couple scars, the most obvious one being the one on his on his cheek that he’s extremely insecure about. In addition to this, he has a bullet wound scar on his chest / back.
