Francis Connolly

Francis Connolly (birth name: Agnes) is the mother of Cassidy Caldecutt. She is mentioned throughout Stanford but wasn't physically seen until chapter 87, when Cassidy returned to Kalos.

Characterization
Francis is a tough, down-to-earth, simple woman. When her son got into legal trouble, and when she found out, she was shown to be quiet and say much of anything. She seems to love children, like his wife, which both decided to try and adopt Emma.

Before Cassidy's Past
She was a former teacher at a high school before she went into witness protection. She married her husband, Alix, in 1970 at the age of 16.

In Cassidy's Past
Her name was changed to Francis Bourgeois to help protect her identity because of the criminal mess her son got into.
