2. Personality
Finch is an aloof soul. She is cold around strangers and very secretive, hiding anything that she regards as a weakness -- while cunningly searching for weakness in others. Years as a trader have given her a keen eye for reading emotions, though she hides her perceptive nature in order to keep this as an advantage. It takes a lot for others to gain her trust and get her to open up.
Born non-Luperci, some of her mannerisms and beliefs are at odds with the Luperci around her. She is not as feral as her brother, mostly thanks to her time as a trader, but still relies on body language and show her aggression in feral ways. At the same time, however, she is a hypocrite in her supposed belief that "Luperci stuff" is odd -- considering she peddles it and uses Luperci weapons and poisons.
Underneath an aloof facade, Finch is a dreamer with a gypsy soul, prone to wandering. She is loyal to a fault toward those who've won her trust and respect, as well as immensely caring for those weaker than herself.

5. History
Timeline
2009
- August: Jérôme and Finch are born to parents Wren Moineau and Corentin. They live as non-Luperci in Mer Bleue.
- December: An especially rough winter decimates the prey population.
2010
- January: A period of famine drives Corentin, the father, to take more risks hunting; a moose kills him. A small pack pities the family and allows them to accompany them on a search for more bountiful territories.
- March: The pack splits when spring does not bring much more food. Wren takes her children further south.
- May: Wren meets up with her sister, Summer Moineau, and stays with her pack until autumn.
- September: Summer dies of an illness that nearly claims Jérôme's life as well. Wren takes him and Finch away again, although the two have become independent yearlings. They continue to travel with their mother.
2011
- February: Jérôme decides to strike out on his own as an adult. Finch travels on her own for a while, though she grows lonely and pursues her brother again.
- April: Finch catches up with Jérôme, asking to join him as they travel. He agrees, and they strike out together for new lands.
- May: The siblings have a falling out over their destination. Jérôme is searching for a purpose in life, while Finch is merely content to travel and see the world. When Jérôme takes too long looking for packs and settlements, Finch wanders onward.
- October: Finch reunites with her brother again near Mer Bleue, their old home.
- November: A mountain lion spooks Finch, who disrupts unsteady rocks and takes a tumble with the landslide. Finch injures her leg in the fall, and the mountain lion -- also frightened and hurt -- attacks the siblings. A nearby non-Luperci pack drives the mountain lion away and offers Jérôme and Finch a home for as long as they wish to stay.
- December: Jérôme and Finch decide to stay with the pack until Finch is fully healed. They adjust to pack life.
2012
- January: A cluster of former non-Luperci desiring revenge, the Ironside Coalition, poach on pack lands. Jérôme assures a frightened Finch that he will protect her.
- February: An Ironside wolf (thought later to be Stein) attacks Finch in the woods, setting back her healing.
- March: The Ironside Coalition kills the pack alphas and decimate most of the pack. Finch and a few others manage to escape, though Finch believes her brother is dead. She tracks the Coalition to avenge her brother.
- April: The Ironside wolves realize Finch is following them. Jáskrim, Cavan, and Stein violently beat her; Skrim threatens to rape her. Before they can kill her or worse, an older female wolf -- Carmen -- fights them off. She takes Finch in to heal her injuries, though a few days later Finch shifts.
- June: Finch's injuries heal at a steady pace. She accustoms herself to life as a Luperci with only a little difficulty, aided by Carmen.
- August: Carmen starts teaching Finch herb-lore and crafting. Finch takes particular interest in the making of toxins and various carvings. She accompanies Carmen as she trades handmade crafts and weaponry.
2013
- February: Finch trades a set of bone daggers for the scarification of a nightshade flower.
- May: Carmen falls ill and passes away. She buries the old she wolf and follows rumors toward eastern Canada, still looking for the wolves who she believes killed her brother.
- June: Finch arrives in New Brunswick and joins Vinátta. She settles in well, trading with her new pack mates and discovering a cousin, Chloé Moineau, who moves in with her. Late in the month, however, her home is threatened by familiar enemies as the Ironside Conflict begins. She discovers that her brother, Jérôme, has also joined Vinátta; they emotionally reunite. Finch supports the pack against the Ironside Coalition with her trades, crafting weaponry and finding herbs for the fighters. At last, the Ironside Coalition is wiped out.
- July: Finch continues to work to support Vinátta, crafting weaponry and trading for more supplies, as well as befriending new pack mates. Her relationship with her brother is a little awkward due to the time passed, but still amicable, and though she has moved out and on her own, her relationship with cousin Chloé grows stronger.
2014
- July: Jérôme, suffering for seasons now with his unrequited love for Shiloh, makes the prompt decision to leave Vinátta so he can fulfill his own life. Finch remains in Vinátta despite her brother's decision.
2015
- May: Knowing her skills with herblore, Thyri seeks Finch out and requests lessons from her. Finch agrees to teach the girl. She suggests that Thyri start collecting plants for easier reference, thus beginning a months-long project for the youth.
- August: With Thyri's near-constant presence, Finch's affection for her flourishes and a strengthening relationship begins to take root.
- November: Finch helps Thyri make bracelets and wreaths for the annual Winternights festival from various materials she found throughout the territory. Afterwards, she agrees to accompany Thyri to the celebration.
