Basics

Name: Delia Finch
Age: 14
School Year: 3rd year
House: Thunderbird
Race: Human
Blood Status: Wizard born

Appearance: 

Wild brown hair sits atop Delia's head, usually in a ponytail or bun of some sort. She is rarely seen without a self-assured smirk playing on her lips, often in response to something particularly amusing happening in her mind. Her eyes are a cold green.

Personality: 

Delia is the kind of person everyone either flocks to, or avoids like the plague. Practically oozing confidence, she dives into everything headfirst without giving much thought to what lies ahead, more from a lack of patience than intelligence. She'd much rather focus on the details rather than the big picture and lives heavily in the moment. Remembering past events (traumatic ones at least) sometimes causes her to spiral into a ball of condensed worry. She's quick to make friends and quicker to lose them, instead preferring to move from group to group, making connections along the way. Honest to a fault, she often comes across as insensitive. Any effort to box her in or keep her contained are quickly shut down.

History:

Delia was brought into the world on September 13th, 2006. She had a happy childhood, full of laughter (mostly at her brother Nicolas' expense). Her father, Hugo Finch is a tall, imposing man with about as much kindness as a piece of concrete. Her mother, Vivianne, is much the same. Both preferred a more "hands-off" approach to parenting their children, leaving Delia and Nicolas to their own devices more often than not. She spent most of her time exploring the wilderness behind their family home. Always the wild child, Delia grew up oblivious to her parents' disapproval. It didn't matter to her what anyone thought, and her parents were no different.

When she could, she made friends with the muggle children who lived around. Most notable was Vi, Delia's oldest friend. She spent many a day trying to get the other girl out of her house and into the woods with her.

At the age of 11, Vi moved away from their neighborhood and Delia's life became a duller. She hadn't realized before then how much the other girl had meant to her. She vowed since then not to let anyone come as close, choosing to lash out when someone got to that point.
