Frances Langford is a High Elf Bard and Artificer from Jewelspar. Formerly a showgirl at the NeDNDerlander Theatre, she left show business around the start of the War of Dragons after being scouted by Katharda Academy to enroll as a student. Always more fascinated by the mechanics of theatrical productions, she used this opportunity to pursue a career in tinkering and even helped the school to develop a technical theater program. Following her time at Katharda Academy, she transferred to Jewelspar University to continue her academic pursuits as well as be closer to her then-fiancée Wellam and later became the matriarch of the scholarly Langford family.

History

Frances was born in Jewelspar and was raised as an orphan in the House of Tenorixion. When she became old enough to fend for herself, she took a job as a showgirl at the recently rechristened NeDNDerlander Theatre, named for its partner managers Franz Neddy and Guillaume D'Erlander. Frances found Guillaume in particular to be a brute and when she learned to summon an unseen servant to assist her in stage productions, she named it after him as a form of petty revenge. It was during her time performing in the chorus of the stage musical Paladdin that she would meet her future husband Wellam, a student scholar at Jewelspar University who was a frequent patron of the theater.

Having been an orphan without a last name, she created the stage name Langford using a portmanteau of Langston Avenue and Valenford Street, an intersection that she lived near at the time. Her husband Wellam would also adopt this name once they started their family together.
