We can assume from the graphic novel that he has brown dark eyes.įranklin does not seem to embrace things out of the ordinary, particularly the peculiar world. We don't know much about Franklin Portman's appearance except that he has glasses and short, brown hair. While in the car about to drive there, the Peculiar children and Miss Peregrine save Jacob. He believes Jacob's story about not remembering anything until he discovers Emma's letters.Īfter the letters were discovered, Franklin decides to commit Jacob to a place for crazy people. Miss Peregrine was going to memory swipe but Jacob stopped her before she did. Though glad to see Jacob, he was upset that Jacob unexpectedly left and demanded an answer as to why. When Jacob sees his father, he had a 3 day beard and seemed to have a lack of sleep. Franklin asks if Jacob is on drugs, but Jacob replies that he is peculiar. Later, Franklin calls Jacob near the end of the book, informing Jacob that he is also in London with his mother, looking for him. Jacob has a vision of his father climbing a cliff on Cairnholm, looking for his dead body. Finally, when Jacob tells him he is leaving for awhile, Franklin believed that he had gone mad and that his son was on drugs. As the book progresses, Franklin gets more depressed and drunk. Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Childrenįranklin joins his son Jacob on the trip to Cairnholm, and while he's there, he finds out that there are uncommon bird species there. This led to Franklin having nightmares for years. The next day, Abe had an ymbryne wipe Franklin's memory of the event, but not completely. Franklin witnessed his father hollowspeak, and then ran away to a cornfield and passed out. The three stayed in a motel when it got dark, but in the middle of the night a hollowgast appeared. When Franklin was ten years old, he finally convinced his father to take him along for one of Abe's 'business trips.' They picked up H, who was uncertain about Franklin coming along. Most of his resentment comes from his childhood.

Franklin's relationship with his father was further complicated when his sister discovered Emma's letters, and they assumed that Abraham was having an affair (which was not true). What Franklin, his sister, and mother all assumed was that he was on a trip, when in reality Abraham was hunting wights and hollowgasts, and could not come. The most hurtful incident being that Abraham never showed up to take Franklin trick-or-treating, leaving Franklin crying in the driveway.

1.2 Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Childrenįranklin was neglected by his father, Abraham.
