Animation Character Development

The character that I am developing is named Future Fran, and I am working with an ambiguity in this character. FF is a futuristic person whose nervous system is directly connected to a computer and the “world of tomorrow” is when and where FF lives. FF's character itself is weird and quirky, also a preteen. As part of the deal with FF, you never actually see the person named Fran but you get everything about FF from the computer monitor that will be the face and connection to FF, as that is how Future Fran communicates to the rest of the world.

My character is unique because of the ambiguity that I want to use in not knowing what gender the FF is, only that it is a preteen whose life exists entirely through a computer. I want FF to have a humorous nature and work from there. My intention is to develop an animation short of a conversation between Fran's parents and Fran. FF may also wear a helmet. I intend on this being comical.
