At a glance, Finley is a scrawny little boy who had been caught fleeing from his own shadow on more than one occasion. Because of this, people that do not know him very well are often caught off guard by his wealth of intellect and cunning.

History:
Finley comes from a loud-mouthed pureblood family. His mother spends her free time writing articles concerning how muggles are the waste of the land (they were all rejected by every known wizarding paper) and has an older brother who is far more charming and clever than he'll ever be. Said brother managed to talk their parents into letting him attend Durmstrang (So he is not at Hogwarts). Their views on the world have had their influence on Finley. But Finley, ever logical, allows himself to think outside that box from time to time.

Finley's magic first surfaced at the age of six. While his father and uncle were playing a game of wizard chess, he made the chess pieces hop off the board and demand fairer treatment of pawns. Finley found it hilarious. His father did not.

Finley was born in a quiet suburban neighborhood where not much happened. Due to his quiet nature, he wasn't very good at making friends, much preferring the company of books. That, and his parents were always picky about what types of friends he could have. (That one's too noisy, don't you think Finley? Not a very good influence. Oh, and that one's too eccentric, you don't want to hang around her.)

There, however, was this one muggle girl who he had gotten along very well with. She appreciated him for who he was and he appreciated that she did. But his older brother convinced him that if a muggle touched you, then you would become one. That scared Finley enough to stay away from her. By age nine, he learned that his brother was lying, but by then, he had already broken all contact with her.

He hasn't grown as close with anyone since due to woefully, downright disasterous social skills.
Also, he finds people terrifying.
He finds everything that's not a book terrifying.
He has no idea how he's in Slytherin but is proud to be anyways.

Relationships:
Mother- Hannah Lawler - More concerned with who Finley should be than who he is.

Father- Jackel Lawler - Says he's proud of his son but seems to periodically confuse him with his brother.

Older Brother- Domnic Lawler - Finley's role model who he feels he could never measure up to. Also probably toxic.
