Francesca Minamoto | Biography
[note: none of the following information is to be taken ICly (except for like- appearance stuff, obviously)]
[note: I could not find one picture that my character looked like, and I am super indecisive and would not feel satisfied just picking one (and I have a lot more pictures where those four came from lol!). Therefore, all pictures above are of the same character, Francesca Minamoto. Just pretend they are all the same character/they all look the same. BTW: the reason they all have different hair colors is that she dyes her hair a lot! Thanks for understanding!]
Basic Information
Full Name: Francesca Minamoto Genji
First Name: Francesca
Surname: Minamoto
Last Name: Genji
In case of any confusion regarding both the "surname" and "last name" above, here is an explanation:
Surname: in this context, it is referring to the name that one shares with all other members within their family, tribe, clan, etc., dead or alive. Last Name: in this context, it is referring to the name that appears or is written last when one's full name is written or printed [such as on official documents, etc.]. Many times, it is a subdivision within a larger whole (i.e. it may refer to a more specific division of family members within a larger clan). Genji" does not appear as her last name on any official documents, though. In Context: Minamoto is Francesca's "surname," the official name of the family/clan from which she is descended that goes back countless generations. Genji is Francesca's legal "last name" that is on official documents and such papers. It also refers to her specific and more directly-related family within the Minamoto clan as a whole. There are many branches within the Minamoto clan as a whole, each of them serving to identify specific people and or smaller groups of people more easily.
[note: this is by no means the official use of a "surname" versus "last name," I am simply modifying these terms for this context and my needs.]

The Family Backstory
Francesca Minamoto Genji is descended from a long line of ancient and significant ancestry, that being the Minamoto (源) clan, a clan whose parent house is the Imperial House of Japan. The Minamoto clan is also known as the Genji (源氏), hence her legal last name, or, less commonly known as the Genke (源家). The first known records of the Minamoto name can be traced all the way back to the eighth century, when Minamoto no Makoto, the seventh son of the Japanese Emperor Saga, in 814 CE, became the first-ever courtier to receive the name Minamoto. It was an honor to be given the name Minamoto, a name only reserved for members of the imperial family who were excluded from the line of succession. From then on, the Minamoto name would grow into a powerful clan, becoming an integrated clan family, and one that would become the most powerful and important in all of Japanese history. The Minamoto is one of the four great clans that dominated Japanese politics during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), the other three being the Fujiwara, the Taira, and the Tachibana. There were twenty-one branches of the clan, the most prominent, powerful, and successful of them being the Seiwa Genji (清和源氏), a branch descended from Minamoto no Tsunemoto, a grandson of Emperor Seiwa. Many of the most famous Minamoto warriors belonged to this line, in addition to the many samurai families that belonged to this branch of the Minamoto clan and used the Minamoto clan name in official records. This branch, the Seiwa Genji, is the line that Francesca and her family are descended from, it is the branch that she and her family represent.
Her Childhood
Francesca Minamoto Genji was born on the 14th of January, 2004 in Bern, Switzerland.
The Conflict
Her father was born in Japan and her mother in Austria. She has two older brothers, both of which were born in Japan, like her father. Francesca was born in and grew up in Switzerland, having lived there until she was 16 years old—that is, until her father permanently moved her, her family, and his court to his estate in the Northern Japanese Alps. Already growing she moved to Karakura, Japan by herself at the age of 16. She had a falling out with her family, and that being what caused her to run away. What were those circumstances, you may ask?
The Present Day
Now, she is 18 years old, still living in Karakura since her move to Japan two years prior.
