Okay, let’s get real for a sec. Francesca Bridgerton is the quiet, mysterious sibling that’s been lurking in the background of Bridgerton for two whole seasons.
But now, in season 3, she’s finally getting her time to shine! And let me tell you, neurodivergent fans are totally vibing with her introverted, possibly autistic energy.
So, let’s dive into what makes Francesca tick and why she’s quickly becoming everyone’s fave Bridgerton.
1. She’s the Ultimate Introvert
Unlike her chatty, attention-loving siblings, Francesca is a total introvert. She’d much rather be alone, playing her piano, than schmoozing at a ball. I mean, relatable much?
As an introvert myself, I totally get the need for that sweet, sweet alone time.
2. Her Musical Talent is Next Level
Francesca is a legit piano prodigy. While her siblings are out there trying to snag a husband, she’s honing her craft and getting lost in the music. It’s like her own little world where she can just be herself.
3. Society Life Isn’t Really Her Thing
Francesca tries her best to fit in with the whole “find a husband” thing, but it’s clear that society life just isn’t her jam. She’s not excited about it like her sisters are. It’s more of a “I guess I gotta do this” vibe.
4. She Struggles with Social Interactions
Francesca finds it tough to interact with potential suitors. Small talk? No thanks. She’d rather have deep, meaningful conversations or just enjoy some comfortable silence.
Neurodivergent fans are def picking up on these traits.
5. Her Reserved Nature Hides a Rich Inner World
Showrunner Jess Brownell spilled the tea, saying that Francesca has a super rich internal world that she doesn’t always share with others. It’s like she’s got this whole universe inside her head that we only get tiny glimpses of.
6. She’s Not About That Attention Life
Unlike some of her siblings cough Eloise cough, Francesca doesn’t need to be the center of attention. She’s content to sit back and observe, taking everything in without feeling the need to be the life of the party.
7. Actress Hannah Dodd Brings Her to Life
Hannah Dodd stepped into the role of Francesca for season 3, replacing Ruby Stokes. And let me tell you, she’s absolutely nailing the quiet, introspective vibe. It’s like she was born to play this role.
8. Fans are Connecting with Her on a Deep Level
Neurodivergent fans, especially those on the autism spectrum, are seeing parts of themselves in Francesca. Her introversion, her struggles with social situations, and her rich inner world are all things that resonate with a lot of people.
9. She’s Found a Kindred Spirit in John Stirling
John Stirling, Francesca’s love interest, seems to get her in a way that no one else does. He’s content to just be in her presence, enjoying the calm quiet that she craves. It’s like they’re two puzzle pieces that just fit together perfectly.
10. Her Story is Just Beginning
Season 3 is just the start of Francesca’s journey. We’re finally getting to see her come into her own and navigate the ups and downs of society life in her own unique way. And I, for one, can’t wait to see where her story goes.
Let’s Chat!
