Unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, you may always assume your character noticing any of these things about Finnegan. For your convenience, these traits are sorted from most to least noticeable:
Reducio
- ✶ During 1st and 2nd year he is of average height at about 4"11 tall. Between 3rd and 5th year he falls behind his peers and doesn't grow much. At the end of 5th year, he catches up again.
- ✶ Bordering on being skinny, he has a lean and nimble build since he's active in sports both at Hogwarts and in muggle life. While he's quite resilient, he is not at all strong and (much to his annoyance) can easily be overpowered by just about anyone.
- ✶ He has mussed dark-brown hair that is kept to a short to medium length cut.
- ✶ He has a lightly tanned skin tone, courtesy of being outdoors a lot.
- ✶ He smells of shampoo, often citrus, mint or a fruity scent like watermelon.
- ✶ He is often disorganized in appearance because of his restless nature. Think loose shoelaces, half-buttoned shirts, wrinkled clothes, dirt under his fingernails, smudges of ink on his face or fingertips, etcetera.
- ✶ Talkative by nature, Finnegan has a slightly hoarse sounding voice. Words are often not fully enunciated but there is an upbeat cadence and rhythm to his manner of speech.
- ✶ Being one of the youngest students in his year and having an energetic dispositions, he is frequently thought to be younger than he actually is.
- ✶ By default he is upbeat, chipper and welcoming (unless specified otherwise).
- ✶ He has a restless energy about him and it shows in his body language. He tends to gesticulate a lot and his expressions are often exaggerated. He might flick his hair to the side mid-conversation, chew on his lips or crack his knuckles. He doesn't sit down like a normal person but tends to favor sitting on the edge, ready to leap of at a moment's notice. Beds are perfect for faceplanting.
- ✶ He has a major sweet-tooth and is positively addicted to chocolate, you might smell some hazelnut chocolate on him because he's sure to carry a steady supply around wherever he goes.
🖛xxxH I S T O R Yxxx🖚Finnegan was born in Cardiff, Wales and has lived in the Butetown neighborhood all his life together with his younger sister Rose. On the whole he has had a good childhood, but there was never much money around and Finnegan has not done well in school. For all his ability in sports, Finnegan has a very hard time in his academic pursuits. A full history can be read below:
Reducio
Born to Caitlyn Veerhne and Owen Connor, Finnegan was the first of two muggle children. His sister, Rose, is two years younger than him but she matches and sometimes even outdoes him in her strong-headedness.
While the siblings got along well, growing up in Butetown wasn't always easy. Caitlyn worked as the manager of a local (youth) community center in Butetown and Owen worked at the post office. Together they earned enough for rent and food, but little else and what little money didn't go straight from hand to mouth was saved up for the holidays. They never went on holiday for long, never went far, hardly ever got outside of Wales. It bothered Finnegan more than it did Rose who had a knack for coming up with things to do whenever he got bored.
Yet her games weren't always enough to satiate Finnegan's wanderlust. Perhaps if his parents could've afforded a fancy smartphone he would've wasted away behind a screen like many of his classmates and would've stayed out of trouble. Instead he spent many summer holidays roaming the neighborhood (usually with a football glued to his feet), exploring places he shouldn't, listening in on hushed, private conversations and pulling childish pranks on unsuspecting victims when the opportunity presented itself.
Finnegan attended a local elementary school were he met his two best friends to date, David and Lewis. Their shared interest in sports and games saw them terrorize the neighborhood with pranks ranging from the innocent wallet-on-a-string all the way up to nicking a magazines from the local shop.
Finnegan didn't seem to have much in the way in scholarly talent except for getting sent out of the classroom for inattentiveness or fidgeting. Nevertheless, he got by even if it was with rather poor grades.
Despite there being little money to go around, both children were able to join a club with some help from community funding. Rose joined the scouts while Finnegan joined a football club through a local program that his mother helped organize. It was here that his talent for the game was nurtured and he's kept moving up into better and better teams ever since.
But the carefree life wasn't to last. Everything changed when an official from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry arrived.
It was hard to believe at first, certainly it had to be a prank from one of his dorky friends. It was Rose who first put the pieces together, reminding them all of that one time Finnegan's crooked teeth had fixed themself. The more she talked, the more Finnegan became convinced that all the strange things that had happened to him had not been accidents after all, something that the official affirmed.
His parents took a little longer to adjust, especially his father, but eventually he too came around to the fact that his son was, in fact, a wizard.
🖛xxxM A G I Cxxx🖚Finnegan's first instance of magic happened quite late, when he had just turned ten and his teeth magically straightened, seemingly overnight. For the full story see below:
Reducio
Finnegan sat in the waiting room, swinging his feet, trying to decided which was worse: the dentist, the braces, or his crooked teeth. He was 10 years old and no matter how many times his mom repeated her promise that they'd get ice cream after, he couldn't shake the sense of impending doom weighing down on him, growing heavier by the minute.
"Finnegan?" the lady at the reception called. He shot up from his seat like a startled animal and hurried over to the counter with his mother close behind. He was just about tall enough for his chin to graze the edge. The reception lady greeted him with a row of perfect white teeth, then looked up and past him to address his mother.
"They're ready for you in room 3. Straight ahead, second hall to the left," She said. Then her eyes fell on him again. "Are you nervous?"
Finnegan bit down on his lips, then shook his head.
"Good. There's no need to be," she answered, then gestured down the hallway. He doubted she had believed him.
"Mom, do we really have to go?" he asked in a low voice.
"Finnegan, please," His mother said. "It'll be fine and it won't take very long. Here it is..."
She gave him a gentle shove as they turned the corner and stepped into the dreadful, brightly lit dentist's room. As if drawn by magnets, Finnegan's wide eyes landed immediately on the wide array of tools whose purpose he could only guess. Why were there scissors and picks and-
"Are you alright boy?" the dentist asked. Finnegan hadn't even looked at the middle-aged man until now, all his attention had been on the chair, the tools and the prospect of having to lay down defenseless with his mouth open.
The dentist pushed his glasses up his hawkish nose. "Don't worry, I'll tell you exactly what we're going to do so you don't have to worry about anything, how does that sound? Please, take a seat."
Finnegan wished he'd just had normal teeth like everyone else so he wouldn't have to be here and he would not have to wear braces and life would just be normal. Almost in a daze he was guided into the chair, layed down and tried to think of some excuse to get out of there. What if he decided he liked his crooked teeth? Maybe they weren't that bad after all, maybe they weren't that crooked, maybe he'd rather pull them and wait for new ones to grow back...
He flinched at the bright light being adjusted over his head, but couldn't find the words to protest as he was beckoned to open his mouth and say "ah".
The man's face hovering over him contorted into a sharp frown, he seemed surprised. "You are Finnegan, right? Finnegan Connor?" The man adjusted a large mirror overhead and suddenly Finnegan understood his shock.
The pale, blue-eyed boy looking back at him had no crooked teeth at all. His breath caught in his throat and he blinked furiously into the light. The dentist disappeared from the edge of his vision and rummaged through some paperwork by the sound of it, but Finnegan paid it little mind.
What on earth had happened to his teeth? He felt this lips, his mouth with his hands as though he'd just learned about having teeth at all. How in the world?
It took his mother a while to catch on to the commotion. She had nestled into a chair in the corner of the room and hidden behind a glossy until his excited noises caused her to peek over the edge.
Overcome with joy, Finnegan had jumped from the seat and bared his teeth. "Look! Look! They're all fixed!"
The dentist grumbled something about a possible mix up which Finnegan, stumbling over hastily muttered apologies, promptly agreed to while he dragged his mother out of the room. They passed the reception in a hurry and it wasn't until they were back outside in the cool air that she finally seemed to calm down.
"H-how...?" was all she managed to stammer. "Finn... your teeth..."
He worried she was about to faint. "I don't know I just... I really, really didn't want to be there and it's almost as if my teeth just fixed themselves." It sounded stupid, but he just couldn't explain it any other way.
His mother stared back at him, blinking dumbfoundedly. "But, but this can't be... teeth don't straighten themselves overnight." She didn't sound quite sure anymore.
"Who cares!" Finnegan exclaimed, overjoyed at the miracle. He wasn't sure if he ought to thank the tooth fairy, santa claus, god, or someone else, but he thanked all of them in the privacy of his mind to be sure, then turned to his mother. "We were going to get ice cream, right?"
