Frony Gibson is the daughter of Roskus and Dilsey, and the mother of Luster. In the novel's first section she appears as a child, living with her family in the cabin in the Compsons' back yard. She seems about the same age and Quentin and Caddy Compson, and is characterized by her no-nonsense attitude: when Caddy says that "white folks dont have funerals," she replies "Your grandmammy dead as any nigger can get, I reckon" (33). She appears in the fourth section as an adult, "a thin woman, with a flat, pleasant face" (289).
