## Biography

### Early Life (1975-1987)

Finlay was born 25 October 1975 alongside his twin brother, Micheil MacDougal, with whom he shares everything from the neck down.

Attended a Guy Fawkes Day party at Number 4 Privet Drive in Little Whinging, Surrey in 1986 when he was 11 years old. This was brought about through his grandmother, Henrika Thomas née Potter. It was here that he and Micheil met Hadrian Potter for the first time.

### Hogwarts Years (1987-1994)

Due to being born after 1 September, Finlay started Hogwarts when he was closer to 12, on 1 September 1987 and was sorted into Ravenclaw House.

At Christmas in 1987, Hadrian gave Finlay and Micheil one of a pair of linked journals which allows for written communication between them. Finlay and Micheil have been using this journal to communicate and chat with Hadrian several times a week, sometimes even daily, ever since.

Tried out for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team in 1988 and made the team, sharing the position of Reserve Keeper with Micheil. Celebrated his 13th birthday in 1988 and got two soulmarks.

Found his two soulmates, Kaidan and Karter Shacklebolt, the following school year. Finlay began dating them soon after and they've since fallen in love and formalized their soul bonds.

In 1990, in their fourth year at Hogwarts, Finlay and Micheil moved up to Keeper of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

Made Captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team in his fifth year when the previous Captain, Seeker Danielle Cox, finished school in July of 1991.

Finlay was named a Prefect for Ravenclaw House, prompting Micheil to get a special dispensation to be a Prefect as well, despite the fact that there's normally only 1 boy and 1 girl from each year from Year 5 and up. Of course, Finlay can't do his Prefect duties without Micheil's help.

## Physical Appearance

Micheil stands 6 feet, two inches tall with brown hair and eyes. He shares a single two-headed body with Finlay.

### Soulmark(s)

1. Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon, on the back of his left shoulder blade.
	* He shares this mark with Karter Shacklebolt.
2. Thunderbird, on the back of the neck, just below his hairline.
	* He shares this mark with Kaidan Shacklebolt.

## Personality and Traits

As a Ravenclaw, it goes without saying that Finlay is highly intelligent and loves learning. He does know how to kick back and have fun, however, and is well-liked by most people that meet him.

Having never known anything other than being conjoined, Finlay considers himself and Micheil to be normal, and thus has little to no patience for anyone who tries to treat them as abnormal due to their shared body. While such reactions are unheard of among the wizarding raised populace, they do occasionally happen among the muggle raised.

## Abilities and Skills

* **Athleticism:** Finlay and Micheil both enjoy running, swimming, and lifting weights. They also play Quidditch.
* **Ancient Runes:** Finlay's favorite subject.
* **Arithmancy:** Finlay's second favorite subject.
* **Dueling:** Finlay is a more than proficient dueler in his own right, but has an added edge to his effectiveness in a duel thanks to Micheil, as they can both cast spells at the same time.
* **Instrumental Music:** Finlay and Micheil play the violin, piano, and pipe organ.

## Noteworthy Possessions

* **Wand:** 14 inches, made of yew wood, with a Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon heartstring. Purchased from Garrick Ollivander at Ollivander's in Diagon Alley in 1987, prior to starting his first year at Hogwarts.
* **Journal:** Given to him and Micheil by Hadrian Potter for Christmas in 1987. It's one of a charmed pair that allows for written communication between journals. Hadrian has the other one and has been chatting with Finlay and Micheil via the journal ever since.

## Relationships

### Micheil MacDougal

Micheil MacDougal is Finlay's conjoined twin brother, with whom he shares everything from the neck down.

Like most siblings, they do have disagreements and arguments from time to time, but their inability to get away from each other and need for cooperation in order to do pretty much everything means that they always make up pretty quickly. It's also resulted in them having many shared interests due to them both having to do pretty much everything the other does.

### Kaidan and Karter Shacklebolt

Kaidan and Karter Shacklebolt are Finlay's boyfriends and soulmates. They met in their first year at Hogwarts and while they were placed in different houses, they still maintained a friendship, drawn to one another by their similar circumstances and ability to relate with one another.

Being a year older, Finlay got his soulmarks before Kaidan and Karter did and thus he didn't know right away that they were his soulmates. Once Kaidan and Karter turned thirteen and got their marks, however, they found out the next time they touched. Kaidan is also Micheil's soulmate, so it wasn't long before they began dating. Inside of a year they were madly in love and had formalized their bonds.

### Hadrian Potter

Hadrian is Finlay's 2nd cousin 1x removed through his grandmother, Henrika Thomas née Potter, who's Hadrian's father's 1st cousin. Finlay met Hadrian for the first time in November of 1986 when he was 11 and Hadrian was 5.

They hit it off pretty much from the start and began exchanging frequent letters. So frequent in fact that by the time Christmas of the following year rolled around, Hadrian was gifted with a pair of charmed journals that allow for written communication between the owners. Invited to spent Christmas at Dragon's Court Palace, Hadrian gave Finlay and his brother Micheil one of the journals. The three of them have been chatting with another via the journals several times a week, sometimes even daily, ever since.

Because of this, they've become the best of friends, despite their six-year age difference, and through their friendship, once Hadrian started at Hogwarts, the entirety of Finlay's year has pretty much befriended Hadrian's year.
