A Guide For the New and Returning Characters in "Grey's Anatomy" Season 19

Francis, most recently seen as Alicia on "The Sex Lives of College Girls," makes up the quintet of new surgical residents at the start of the season. She plays Mika Yasuda, who is described by TVLine as "a middle child with eight siblings [who] is used to "being overlooked and underestimated — and uses it to her advantage. She's dealing with overwhelming student loans from med school, but she's scrappy and confident that she can make it in the program and rise to the top."

You might also recognize Francis from playing idealistic teenager Lily in Netflix's holiday comedy series "Dash & Lily."
