* ItsAllAboutMe: Francoise has an extreme case of narcissism. She tells Theo straight-up that she doesn't care about the children, she only wants him to pay attention to her. She makes little Raynaud ride in a carriage with her when he's sick, because she wants company; he nearly dies. She is less concerned about Raynaud's health when he's on his sickbed than the fact that she is being kept out of his room.
