Mr. Midnight is Fran's closest companion and pet. He is lost to Fran at the beginning of the game, but she finds him in Chapter 2. As he follows Fran, he can be used as an advisor for puzzles.
Mr. Midnight is a cat with black fur, a pink nose and big yellow eyes.
Personality[]
Mr. Midnight is a very polite and sweet cat. He is loyal to people he knows and cares about but can usually sense if the person is bad or good. He loves and cares for Fran, and wants to see her happy. He is always telling Fran to stay out of trouble. Like Fran, he also wants to return home with her.
History[]
Fran received Mr. Midnight as a present from her parents sometime before their murders occur. Though in the prelude it seems to happen over just a week (Fran getting Mr. Midnight, Aunt Grace visiting, Aunt Grace watching her on Friday and on Monday the murder of her parents.) However these events occurring in just a week is highly unlikely due to the fact in the final chapter it is alluded several times in the house of madness (Aunt Grace's house) that Fran has had Mr. Midnight for a while as indicated by her painting of him, a picture of them at the lake, and the picture of Alice and her in which she comments her and Mr. Midnight go to play with her and her Cheshire Cat. Furthermore cats generally tend to be animals of solitude, even as kittens most of the time, but Mr. Midnight and Fran are very close implying a bond formed over a greater amount of time than a week. Where he came from before coming into Fran's possession is unknown and never mentioned in the game.
Trivia[]
The creators of Fran Bow own two black cats called Bobby and Baloo. They were the main influence and inspiration for the character of Mr. Midnight.
Itward has made several cat dolls and robots on his Flying Machine that are very similar to Mr. Midnight.
When Fran Bow has entered the Fifth Reality, upon closer to the end she find a cat that looks exactly identical to Mr. Midnight, but could not communicate with Fran.
