Francesca Harriet Aspelund is Moxie’s local fortune teller, medium, soothsayer and parapsychological phenomena. Of course she has not the slightest touch of supernatural abilities or powers, but when she discovered that the allegation made her otherwise pale and gray existence interesting in the eyes of others the temptation was to big to resist. Laura who owns the place gave Francesca Harriet permission to run her business from one of the café tables mostly for her own personal entertainment. Laura has little time for the supernatural but are not without the ability to enjoy the antics of those who have.
Francesca who has had little luck in her advances towards men can sometimes turn hot-tempered and quarrelsome when too many of her clients concults her about future love affair. But even though the whole medium and fortune telling show is a play for the gallery, it at least gives her the opportunity to enjoy their heart breaking stories of their unhappy relationships.
The only near the occult experience Francesca Harriet has ever had was when after over nine hours of trying to read someting in it her crystal ball for a few seconds flashed the words “You are an idiot”. Fortunately there was no one else there when it happened, so she saw no reason to take further notice of the message.
Francesca Harriet has decent, though limited acting abilities so the other patrons buy the whole paranormal show and make use of her services ever so often, however, with the exception of the ones belonging to a variety of religious beliefs who looks at Francesca’s business as pure blasphemy. Otherwise the only thing this minority among the patrons have ever agreed upon.
