This is a character I came up with a while ago. He's a raccoon who decided to go to school for law. He was always kind of uppity and a bit rude, seeing himself as more important than other people because of his aspirations to become a lawyer.

When Francis graduated, though, he found that he couldn't find a job as readily as he wanted and was forced to take a more... pedestrian job until he could. Working blue-collar was hard, and his superiors had to break him down on several occasions for refusing to pick up bags, or talk to any of the regulars.

By his 30s, or so, he was singing a different tune. The thin, young snob had rounded out into a friendly, laid back sort with a taste for conversation and... more unusual things. Nobody knows what caused the change, exactly, but they're not complaining.

Everyone calls him Frankie now.
