In her own way Fel is as "stunted" as Francine is, just in different areas. But as the story progresses we see Fel growing but we see Francine regressing. The question is why? Or was Francine always this way and Fel is just mature enough to see it and verbalize it in her story? Is it Fel's perception that confuses Francine's actions? I have the whole story outline written and you can look forward to a few more rollercoasters. Bwahahahahaha. (snicker, giggle)
If it's part of the story for it to be hard to pin down francine then it's no problem.
I usually get the characters in stories, so this is new to me.

I don't think it has anything to do with it being from Fel's view point.
And if Fel's "stunted" I just put it down to the fact that she's what? 16? Grew up in a violent atmosphere ( Outlands and her village), and had to do things and take care of herself and her sisters at an early age. She may not have the "manners" of these people, but she's mature in more ways than most.

I'm looking forward to seeing where I'm taken with this story lol
