How to get an item inside an HTML Element

I am using beautiful soup to collect data from HTML.

I need help to get the data inside 'class': 'Profile-userFullName-_EP'

Here is my trial to get the First Last name from the current HTML.

import requests
from requests_html import HTMLSession
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url ='https://www.website.com'
r= requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser')
name = soup.find_all('h1', {'class': 'Profile-userFullName-_EP'})

print(name)

My current output is:

[<h1 class="Profile-userFullName-_EP">First Last name</h1>]

My required output when I print name is:

First Last name

soup.find_all() returns an array, therefor name is an array.
To get the innerHTML of the first element in the name array you can do this:

innerHTML= name[0].decode_contents()
print(innerHTML)

Should print:
First Last name
