Appearance:
Hair- Salt white, going down to her shoulders. She has a little mixed blood, and that’s all she’ll say about it.
Eyes- A deep crimson, the color of blood. The illusions on her eyes stopped working when she died. Her eyes glow gold in the presence of a high concentration of magic, or when she is using magic herself.
Skin- Paler than albino. She has few piercings on her ears, and one on her stomach.

Her clan tattoo, the Lisica fox, is situated on her back, on the right shoulder blade.

Strengths: Incredibly beautiful. Strong-willed. Quick. Intelligent. She is unusually strong for her size.
Weaknesses: General disrespect to authority, which often gets her into trouble. She often overexerts herself to the point of collapsing. Stubborn. Squeamish. Ignorant. Extremely sensitive to light and sound.
Weapons: Finch has been supplied a sword and parrying dagger to use as weapons, though she is open to learning anything else.
Personality: She is extremely stubborn, especially when it comes to her mother. She has a general disrespect to most adults, although this trait seemingly disappears when she gets what she wants. She could be seen as selfless, or selfish, depending on the way you saw her; she is the kind of person to save all her money, not even sparing a copper coin to get what she wants, and then to simply give the thing that she earned away with barely a second thought, after seeing someone who needs it more than she does. She is highly driven, and wears herself out constantly by often going too far with something. She has a number of scars and has collapsed many times because of this. She is blatantly honest, but possesses the ability to lie convincingly because she lies so infrequently. She is extremely brash and hardheaded, which often rubs off as her being unusually brave and loyal. She enjoys arguing with people, though she prefers to refer to it as ‘heated debate’. Books are, always have been, and always will be one of her foremost, closest and fondest companions. She strongly believes that age does not truly matter when it comes to passion, within reason. She socializes constantly, and as much as she refuses to admit, she yearns for company and adores small animals (that don’t threaten her poor, defenseless books).
Bio: The only child of Theolomus Taerhis and Marissa De’shae; Finch has been peculiar from a very young age, she was; she constantly ate and seemed to not need sleep. It was a condition from her father’s side of the family. It happened to her aunt, her cousin, her grandmother, and a number of others; and was tied to the female side of the magic-bearing family. Her parents often worried about her; contacting many healers, doctors, and physicians throughout her youth.
Finch was born into a family with a highly astronomical background. Nearly every person in her father’s family had chosen a career to do with the heavens. She has picked up a number of quirks and has an unusual amount of knowledge about the stars, but even more about her own particular interest – Mythology.
Finch has followed in the footsteps of her great-aunt by choosing to become a vampire, before the family curse kills her at a premature age, usually around forty.
Extra: Finch has magic, which comes from her father’s side of the family. Hers manifests as dark golden light, manipulated as tendrils, and her eyes glow in a like color when she uses her magic, or comes into an area where magic was recently used, or is present. She possesses the ability to create levitating fields and also create physical shields and barriers, enough to block a doorway. She can even make a form of ‘cage’, though it isn’t very big, only around six inches in each direction; because it is more complex. She can levitate about fifty pounds on average, though when pressed, she is able to lift a person, to about twenty feet, or a smaller object, like a cat, a little more than sixty. When she is scared, or angry, her powers are magnified, but they become nearly impossible for her to control. She is unable to affect herself with her own magic, as it just reabsorbs into herself, other than to pass through her own shields. Her magic is purely physical, and is unable to learn any other physical forms of magic. Due to her new affinity towards magics of a psychic nature, she may begin to learn said magic.
Other: She was a playmate of Azia and Kerta's after the war had officially ended, but before the border raids, and the raids on her home, were done with. She has the well-fermented remnant of a childhood crush on Azia.
