Arande Family

The Arande Family comes from an extensive legacy of Beast Slayers. Mr. & Mrs. Arande (first names so far unknown) left the life of beast slaying behind upon having their two children, Franko and Griana, and opened the Meats’n’More in Troutbeck. They now reside in Florgidida, after retiring and passing the family business on to Griana.

Franko (formerly Frankie) left his family behind in Troutbeck to attend Jiullibard shortly after high school, cutting off communication with them. Griana knew of his success as an international popstar but decided not to share this part of her life with any friends, aware that Franko had based his career around being a solo artist with no background or family. She did not hear any news from him until arriving in Burnfort, when she overheard some girls at the pier mention that he would be coming to the city. Franko first shows up in [01.82] Our First Song, where he is seen sitting in the crowd before Griana makes her performance debut with Talon Fisk. He then reaches out to her in a letter, amazed at her talent and asking to meet up at the spa in Faetris Farmstead. In [01.93] Arande Reunited, Griana discovers that Franko knew of the family’s beast slaying legacy, but that he is unsure of most of the details as he found it to be boring whenever his parents brought it up in his youth.

Outside of her recent success both on Team Langdale and being cast in “Monster of the Musical”, Griana’s last name has been recognized for its renown by many people in Burnfort. She has written a letter to her parents asking about the family legacy, but continues her quest for answers whenever it is brought up

Trivia
•Griana’s parents are described as being “half-dead.” Very little is known about this condition. They are revealed to be top-half-alive, bottom half cartoony-ghost-tail in Griana’s Spirit Week backstory episode, and it is vaguely alluded to being a recent accident.

•Griana and Franko Arande’s names bear absolutely no resemblance to any real life celebrities. None whatsoever. Any similarity to public figures of our world is purely coincidental, I don’t know what you’re talking about.
