Finley Lyons

Finley Lyons is a character on the fanfic Glee: The New Direction. Finley was created by KCisaGleek98. 
==Biography==
The Lyons' were known as one of the profound families in their town, they socialized with those of a high social standing and in result were considered to be wealthy and above everyone else. They looked like a perfect family from the outside. Simone, Finley's mother, was a successful author, who pushed her children to be the best and was very involved in her town's council. Wayne, Finley's father, was a lawyer, the best in town, he cared very much for his family, but always seemed to be depressed. Then there was the twins Caleb and Chelsea, who were now twenty-one, Caleb was the school's quarterback and Chelsea was the captain of the cheerios. Allison, the youngest, received the most attention of the four Lyons children, she was loved and cherished. That left Finley, the middle child, she was never deserving enough of her parents attention, most times it was like she wasn't even there. Simone was engrossed in her books, and her three other children. While Wayne was hardly ever home, off on some 'business trip'. Finley spent most of her time alone as a child, she taught herself how to play piano and often spent her time singing and playing. She also spent a lot of her time absorbed in a book. In school she was rarely alone, everyone loved her, but at home she was forgotten. It always confused her how strangers could love her but her own family couldn't. When she was thirteen Finley walked in on her father kissing another woman, that's when everything came out, in the family at least. Apparently all of Wayne's 'business trips' were only across town to see another woman, Laurel Hill, and he had wanted to leave Simone since Finley's birth but because he loved his three other children too much to leave them. But, when the affair came out he knew it was time he left and claimed it all to be Finley's fault. Naturally, Simone placed the blame on Finley as well, claiming that if she had been a better daughter maybe Wayne would have stuck around. That's when Finley changed, she became everything her mother wanted, the perfect daughter. She vowed that she wouldn't ruin her family further, she's make her mother love her. She didn't want to be rejected further. Her mother managed to cover up the whole scandal saying that Wayne had always wanted to travel the world and he'd be back someday, keeping their perfect image intact, that's why Finley has to continue with her facade.
