Balthier x Fran, also known as BalFran (バルフラ BaruFura), is the pairing of Balthier and Fran, characters from the video game Final Fantasy XII.

Fan community
As of this writing, BalFran is the most-tagged ship among FFXII works on Archive of Our Own (AO3), when filtering for fan works published both before and after the 2017 release of The Zodiac Age.
BalFran is something of a rival ship to Balthier x Ashe, another rather popular pairing. However, there seems to be no animosity between the shippers, and the absence of romance in FFXII canon lends itself to Balthier also having platonic friendships with both characters in fanworks.
