 In Boston's elite circle, people talk like it was the hottest bag from Chanel, and Vincent Snow was not exempt from that gossip circle. After a bitter divorce and a grateful pre-nup, Vincent was in need of another arm candy. A business trip took him to Paris, with six months and six different trips there and back, and Vincent signed the paperwork to make Evelyne his new bride. The leggy blonde provided the perfect stories delievered in an endearing accented broken English and the two lived a happy life together, topped off with a string bean of a daughter born in December. Francesca Snow was an ugly ducking from the beginning, never fitting in to her features and clumsy as hell in everything she tried.. swimming, ballet, nothing really clicked until the growth spurt sent her skyrocketing over all of her classmates. Turns out the really long-limbed girls didn't need to be all that coordinated to be really good at jumping and blocking, so volleyball was Frankie's forte. With enough training and practice she finally got the hang of it, mostly glad that it gave her something to occupy her time with. The Snows wanted their child to excel, to be a bragging point during Vincent's company's events, but it turned out that Frankie was just average. Their circle of friends had children who were going to be concert violinists or the next Monet, but it turned out that the expectations were set too high for them. Vincent and Florence had a rocky relationship, one where Vincent wanted the best for and from her and where she tried and tried and it wasn't enough. Not that he was outwardly displeased with her grades or athletic talents, but her father was a dismissive presence, constantly working and never truly there for her. So Frankie was happy to skate on by, coasting under the radar. With parents too swept up in their own lives to really pay attention, Francesca and the rest of her classmates drank and partied on; shit happens and before she realized what had happened she had a miscarriage. Evelyne was devastated for the near shock to their social status, but everyone quickly moved on as if it never happened. Another fling with another boy in her social circle lead to another unannounced and unexpected pregnancy, and instead of dealing with it in Boston, Frankie packed her bags and jetted off to France. Frankie spent the better part of two years living downtown, taking classes at a local university, and trying to figure out who she was - the waspy version of a walkabout. She then transferred back home to prove to her parents that she was actually worth something, was accepted to Harvard (so Elle Woods, right), and graduated with honors. It felt like a continuous cycle of proving to her father she could do something, and ended up starting her own business with a friend from college. Together they rented a space and put together birthday parties for little girls with the full princess effect.
