Short summary of Finley’s timeline:

Age 0-16: Finley had an ordinary life as a young girl from childhood to teenage years.

Age 16: Lost in the woods close to her small hometown of Chesterton, Finley discovers her ability to shapeshift which allows her to make her way out of the forest. At that age, she starts exploring her newfound powers, feeling more excited than anything else. Eventually, unknown to Finley, hunters arrive to Chesterton to find her. While attempting to flush out Finley, the hunters end up killing Kristen with a deliberate house fire. The events lead Finley to lose control of her abilities which lead to fear of prosecution and to Finley running away from home and becoming the prime suspect in the murder case of Kristen Everest.

Age 16 to 19: Finley treaded overseas and in different cities, using her abilities as a means to travel. Narrowly evading the law every time, she could still feel the police fighting tooth and nail to track her down, as well as the hunters who were still hot on her trail. Finley searches for her powers’ origins but to no avail.

Age 19: Finley attempts to steal from Carlos Mendoza who learns of her abilities. He gains her trust, gives her shelter before traumatic events occur which lead Finley to run, this time not just from the law, but herself. Finley semi-permanently shifts into her male form which allows her to escape her reality and start anew.

Age 20-21: Now bearing a new face and a different gender, the original Finley French gets wiped off the map with the law enforcement losing her trail. Finley has no documents or legal proof of identity so he resorts to dirty jobs and theft which he ends up excelling at.

-Meets Marlene and Ray, two middle aged shady siblings that give him a small place to stay above their strip club in which he ends up working in to repay them and earn his keep. A pivotal moment in getting back on his feet for Finley. Had a brief relationship with Victor Coridas during that time.

-Steals from the wrong person for the second time, that being Brask, a henchman to one of the most influential gang members and werewolves in North America. Gets indoctrinated to work for them for awhile.

-Dozen attempts in getting a place of his own; squatting in abandoned buildings to protect Ray and Marlene from the wolves and stop them from asking questions, lest they get involved.

NOW: (whatever storyline that follows after this backstory in our roleplays.)

FUTURE: Finley is a reincarnation of the Original Shapeshifter, also known as the Mother of Monsters. Finley is currently unaware of this.
