## History

### Before the Rising

Finn was born in Halfmoon to a Magicat named Claudia. Claudia's boyfriend, Felix, had abandoned her after getting her pregnant, which caused her to become hostile and bitter towards her unborn child. When the kitten was born, she refused to give them a name, or take care of them past the bare minimum to keep them alive. As they got older, Claudia became physically and emotionally abusive to the kitten, using every excuse to take out her anger on them. Once they learned to walk, they became a bit of a neighborhood "pet" of sorts, with kinder Magicats feeding them scraps and keeping them company. Gatolius, an elderly neighbor of Claudia's, took to calling the child "Finn," which means "light-haired" in the ancient Magicat language, due to the kitten's blond hair.

When Adora and Catra discovered Halfmoon, Finn was three years old. The two were touring the smaller areas around Halfmoon with Gatolius, and he introduced them to Finn. At first, Finn was terrified of the two, flinching and running away from them. Having been abused themselves, Catra and Adora saw the signs of abuse on Finn, and took great care to try and befriend them, hoping to get more insight on their situation. After months of gifting them toys, food, new clothes, and positive affection, Finn grew to trust, and even got attached to them.

After having to leave for a week, Adora and Catra returned to Halfmoon to find Finn missing from their usual spots. They broke into Claudia's house, and discovered them almost half dead, with new scars marring their back and arms. After healing them, they took Finn to Gatolius, but he refused to do anything about Finn's situation, as it was a private family matter. So, they kidnaped Finn and took them back to Brightmoon, with the intent of finding them a new family.

After a week of looking, Catra and Adora realized that they didn't want to give Finn up, and decided to adopt them. Finn, who wanted to stay with Catra and Adora, was delighted by this news.

### The Rising of the Remembrance

Finn was six years old when the Rising took place. They were the one to meet Lina, the leader of the Remembrance, first, while they were playing by themself on the edge of Brightmoon and the Whispering Woods. Lina convinced them that she was a good guy, and could help their friends with Runestones make their powers stronger to help She-Ra. Finn had Glow, Siren, Flora, Zephyr, and Etta meet her and her right hand man, Uriel, deep in the Whispering Woods, where all six children were kidnaped and taken to Mount Candila.

Along with Zephyr and Etta, they were forced to watch as the Remembrance strapped Glow, Flora, and Siren into their machines and ripped their Runestone connections away from them. Afterwards, with three kids unconscious, Double Trouble and Rina broke into the Fire Castle disguised as guards, rescuing the six kids and bringing them back to Brightmoon, where their parents were negotiating with Lina and her army.

Once the adults saw their kids alive (some unconscious, but alive,) they were finally able to fight back, forcing the Remembrance to retreat back to Mount Candila. This event was called the Rising of the Remembrance, or just the Rising for short.

### The Aftermath

Finn blames themself heavily for what happened to their friends, even though they were six years old, and being manipulated by an adult they though they could trust. They have nightmares, not just about their biological mother, but the events of the Rising. The kids all end up in therapy, which helps Finn start the thought process of the Rising not being their fault.

When Finn admits that they were scared to Siren, she gifts them her red bandana, telling them that it would make them brave.

## Personality

Finn is somewhat of a rebel, who twists and turns the rules for their own gain, but that gain is usually for the benefit of others (or fun). They value family and friends over everything and are very ride or die, making them susceptible to heartbreak and betrayal from their loved ones. They will often take the blame for something they did not do to protect their friends, even if they get in trouble. They love the freedom and self-expression that the theater gives them, and is an active member of Double Trouble's theater group.

## Relationships

**Adora and** **Catra:** Though slow to trust, Finn grew to love Catra and Adora, and accept their love in return. They call Adora "Mom," and Catra "Mama." Due to their own abusive "mother," Catra and Adora are able to give Finn the help and support that they need to deal with their trauma. They spoil them rotten and can be kind of overprotective, but Finn understands why, and loves and appreciates them anyway. There are times when Finn starts to regress and believe that they aren't worthy of their parent's love, but Catra and Adora are quick to reassure them.

**Kitt:** Kitt was born when Finn was four years old. At first, Finn thought that Catra and Adora were replacing them when Catra told them that she was pregnant. So, for most of Catra's pregnancy, Finn was upset and scared of being replaced, even running away to Salineas at one point. Only after Catra and Adora explained to them that they weren't getting rid of them, did Finn start to get excited about the prospect of a baby sibling. When Kitt was a newborn, Finn (and Glow) would "stand guard" around her bassinet, just in case some evil doer would try to harm her. As they grew up, Finn's protective nature did not cease, much to the annoyance of Kitt. As teenagers, their relationship is very typical sibling; they tease and make fun of one another, want to kill each other constantly (affectionate), and would both die and kill for each other (but would rather die than admit it). Finn appreciates the quiet moments with their sister when they just sit together and enjoy each other's company.

**Glow:** Finn and Glow see each other as cousins, since they grew up in Brightmoon together. Glow was the first other child Finn was introduced to upon their rescue from Halfmoon, and the magikitten was entranced by Glow's sparkles. Though a little put-off by his naturally loud nature, Finn grew attached to him, and Glow helped Finn get out of their shell. Finn comforts him and listens to his rants over not being able to re-connect to the Moonstone, and is Glow's main confidante. As teenagers, they both like to cause mischief and tomfoolery around Brightmoon, much to the chagrin of the palace guards, but also feel like they can talk and confide in each other.

**Flora:** Flora and Finn are also childhood best friends. As children, Finn appreciated Flora's quieter, more gentle personality. After the rising, Finn and their other friends develop techniques with Flora to help her out of panic attacks and keep her calm. As teenagers, Finn has opened up more, while Flora has stayed quiet and shy, but they still are very close, and Finn developed a huge crush on her. They dated each other for a few months, when Flora was seventeen and Finn was fifteen, until Flora realized she was aromantic/asexual and broke up with them. Since Finn had started to fall for Siren at this point, they weren't destroyed by this like they would've usually been. Flora is the only person Finn has told about their crush, and she's been trying to get them together ever since.

**Siren:** Finn and Siren met a year after Finn was adopted. When Finn was worried about being replaced by the new baby, Siren helped them run away with her to Salineas. They remain very close after that. After the rising, Siren gives Finn her red bandana, saying it would make them brave. As teenagers, Finn and Siren have the same protective nature, reckless attitude, and love of theater. They seem to understand each other on a deeper level that their other friends don't. Unbeknownst to Finn, Siren has a crush on them. Finn starts to develop a crush on her back while they're dating Flora, but she starts dating one of Glow's cousins. This causes some strife between them, but they still refer to each other as "each other's person".

**Etta:** Etta is even shyer than Flora, so she and Finn didn't end up meeting until they were both five. After the rising, Glow started hanging out in Dryl with Bow, and Finn often tagged along, getting closer to Etta, and understanding her "odd" quirks and mannerisms better. Like with everyone else, Finn is very protective of Etta, and anyone who makes fun of her for being a Prime Clone will get punched. They can relate to each other with their mental health issues and feelings of not being good enough.

**Zephyr:** Zephyr was the third friend Finn ever made. Even as kids, Zephyr bossed Finn around like a third parent. It used to annoy them, but when they get older, they actually find it charming and kind of comforting. After the rising, Zeph and Finn (and Etta, to an extent) became the backbone of their friend group, due to them not having any Runestones to lose like the others. Like Flora, Zeph is able to ground Finn and help them stay focused, something which they need when the going gets tough.

**Claudia:** Finn doesn't remember very much of Claudia, but what they do remember is the trauma and abuse. They have constant nightmares about her, and to this day won't step foot in Halfmoon for fear of seeing her again.
