FRANCIS CHOI
(   tv tropes   )

THE CHARMER — Francis knows he has a very approachable and friendly appearance, and uses it to his advantage. He also knows how to act friendly when he needs to.

SOPHISTICATED AS HELL — Francis can switch from very flowery and grammatically-correct language to letting out a long string of cuss words a second later.

TRANQUIL FURY — Francis typically gets very cold and calm when he's angry or a situation demands him to be serious.

JERK WITH A HEART OF GOLD — Francis is not a good person, but he also wouldn't hesitate to save someone on the street if they needed it. He can't promise he'll be nice about it, though. This, of course, does not apply to kids.

IN LOVE WITH THE MARK — While working for the Strix, Francis was ordered to spy on Henrik Mikaelson and report back to Tristan de Martel. Francis ended up falling in love with Henrik instead. This, ironically, is also how he met and fell in love with Eleanore de la Croix.

FRIENDLY ENEMY — Francis was pretty friendly toward Henrik and his family before romantic feelings got involved. He talked to Hayley and Freya a lot, even when Henrik wasn't around.

MANIPULATIVE BASTARD — Francis knows exactly what to say and when to say it to save himself. See everyone suspecting Francis's involvement after Cami is turned into a vampire and Jackson's death as the best example. Saying he would never risk Henrik's wrath in particular is the truth, but it's also a quick way to get them off his back, and he knew that. Anyone who knows Henrik even moderately well knows how powerful and scary he actually is.

CULTURED BADASS — He's a gentleman who can kick ass when he needs to. He just chooses not to and prefers to run instead.

SHARP DRESSED MAN — You will never catch Francis Choi looking bad. There is not a single piece of clothing in his closet that's ugly.

BEWARE THE NICE ONES — Francis was very sweet, gentle, and kind when he was human. But nowadays, he's not really any of those things to anyone except those he's particularly close to. Mainly: Henrik, Haewon, Abella, Freya, Hayley, Kol, Davina, Hope, and very briefly, Madeline Deforest. Bonus: Caroline Forbes is working her ways towards this list.
