Early Life
Francine Dawson was born to Nicholas and Cassandra Dawson in New York City, New York. When she was only two years old, Francine was abandoned by her parents because they wanted to sit in the first class of a plane voyage and they couldn't carry with children with them there. Sent to the Saint Dante Orphanage, Francine was adopted by Bah Bah and Mah Mah Ling, two Chinese-Americans who raised her with great care alongside their biological daughter Gwen.

As a child, she was taught in school that Left-Handers were worshipers of Satan, which guaranteed her to be hurt by her school friends when she used her left hand. She developed a crush for Mr. Feeny, her algebra teacher, who did not reciprocate her feelings. When she said they were lovers to become popular in school, Feeny ended up apprehended by the police and committing suicide in prison.

When she was teenager, Francine attempted to land on an acting career by starring alongside George Clooney in the TV show Scarecrow and Mrs. King. During the scene where they were together, Clooney stole her line and destroyed her career, while he became famous. This made her hate him, and wish for his death everyday.
