Kits pretty easygoing as far as style goes. She likes clothes that allow her a lot of room to breathe. Short sleeved button up, t-shirts, or cold shoulder blouses. Sometimes jackets though they're usually small or cropped. Paired with shorts or form fitting jeans and white trainers. As far as clothes go she likes garish bright colors or soft pastels that contrast with her dark hair and eyes. Though most of her jackets and hooded trend towards deep reds or blacks. However when there's an event that requires her to dress up she tends to go out. Shimmery dresses and glittering jewelry of the finest materials. All in varying shades of bright pinks, white, or blues.

Nearly a mirror image with her brother. She inherited the Finlay families tendency to have wild curly brown hair and wide brown eyes. Though she has something of her mother in her as well. In the shape of her lips and the soft feminine lines of her face. Though the freckles are a mystery trait. She doesn't often wear very bright makeup, preferring simplicity. She doesn't spend too much time on her appearance, and rarely tries to tame her wild mane of hair anymore. Though she is slim she is agile and most of her weight is wiry muscle thats been built up from years of strenuous activity.

An absolute terror when she wants to be. Kits got a love for making trouble wherever she goes and leaving chaos and destruction in her wake. She's had her fair share of detentions but she doesn't really mind. Its her ultimate goal to wind up there anyways, and so long as she only gets in trouble a handful of times her Grandmother doesn't lecture her too hard. She has a habit of pulling mostly harmless pranks, the kind that don't have long term and lasting effects. She may be fond of danger but she doesn't really want others to get hurt, and certainly not at her hands unless they deserve it.
Always one to be on the go. Kit doesn't slow down for anyone or anything. Set to maximum speed with a drive to achieve her dreams no matter what. She can be charming when she wants to be. A social butterfly that doesn't bother with prejudices. She'll make a friend out of anyone who will have her and refuses to let other people judge her or her friends. Quite frankly, she's the type to think even someone who outright doesn't like her has the potential to become a friend if she tries hard enough. She likes to pull others out of their comfort zones and can often be a little too pushy about it, and won't realize this until far too late.
Fiercely protective of her loved ones. Whether that be her friends or her brother - who she will commit murder for, don't ever think she won't. She has the famous Finlay temper, meaning once she's got it into her head that there's a fight to be had she will see it through. Whether it causes trouble for her or not, and best believe she fights with everything she's got.
Reckless and chaotic energy give her a narrow view of consequences. She doesn't like to look to far into the future, but prefers to stay rooted to the present and experiencing. If it's forbidden or dangerous shes more than likely to find herself breaking the rules to figure out exactly why. She has no regard for her own health and safety. Its a good think that she learned self defense early on, both the wizard AND the muggle way. Otherwise she would have probably sent her family to an early grave over worrying. She is hugely independant and often refuses to ask for help, even when she's been injured or gotten into other kinds of trouble. She would rather struggle her way out than have to face the weakness of needing someone else to help her.
If Kit had the choice she would spend all day outside, running wild in nature and doing her own thing. Exploring abandoned buildings, walking through the woods, getting mud on her shoes and fresh air in her lungs. She hates the idea of being cooped up inside all day and struggles heavily with classes due to her longing to be anywhere else. Unless the class is one that actively engages her, or requires some physicality she often becomes very bored with it and winds up struggling to keep her grades up. She relies heavily on her brother to help her stay on top of schoolwork, she would simply procrastinate on it until the very last second if not for him.

Katherine Finlay | Living | Grandma | Retired Ministry Worker In The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures | 80
"Kit is close with her Grandmother, having been raised by her since her mother's death and fathers subsequent disappearance. But her Grandmother is certainly the firm backbone in the family. While her Grandfather would spoil her, her Grandmother would be prompting her to do chores. Her Grandmother could be fun at times though, she knew some of the best stories and was always gossiping.
Phillip Finlay | Living | Grandpa | Retired Auror | 77
"Her Grandfather can do no wrong in her eyes. He's the one she goes to when she's having a row with Crispin. The one who read to her every night before bed and tucked her in. He gave her the nickname Kit in fact. It's no secret that she adores her Grandfather and he adores her in return. Phillip Finlay is one of the most down to earth, rational, and caring people in her life. Though she never had a moment where she truly 'came out', Phillip seemed to have always known that Kit had different preferences. Despite his age, and the prejudices he grew up with he did not judge her for it. Instead, he told her something that to this day makes her so very glad to have him; "Whoever she may be, she'll be lucky to have you."
Louis Finlay | Unknown | Father | Unknown | 45 |
"Kit knows nothing about her father, which is unsurprising since her Grandparents never speak about him. All she knows is that he disappeared around the time her mother died. But no matter how many times she asks she never gets an answer as to why."
Elizabeth Afton | Deceased | Mother | 23 At Time Of Death
"Kit knows more about her deceased Muggle mother than she does about her presumably still alive somewhere father. Which, to say anything doesn't count for much. She often wanders what it would have been like to have been raised by her. But honestly, she doesn't really think about her mother often. She was never told how her mother died, she thinks perhaps its something that her Grandparents are deliberately keeping from her. But she doesn't really care to find out either. "

She never knew her parents.
Honestly she never really wanted to either.
Kit never saw her lack of interest in her parents very weird. She had her Grandparents and various extended family members that helped to take care of her. Plus she always had Crispin so what would she need absentee parents for anyways? Not a whole lot.
Her entire life she's been close with her brother, thick as thieves and practically inseparable. Their family often joked as the two of them grew that there was almost no telling them apart. They were practically twins in appearance and so similar in their tendency for mischief. Even now they have an uncannily close appearance, though now its slightly more annoying for Kit who values her individuality above else.
Still, they never lost that closeness. Kit still drags Crispin on spur of the moment adventures. They still make trouble wherever they go. Though with that famous Finlay temper they've been known to bicker every now and again.
As young children she and Crispin had spent quite a bit of time with their mothers side of the family. Their Uncle Wilfred and his wife Daisy had a whole slew of children, giving Kit and Crispin about a half dozen cousins to get up to trouble with. Though their Cousins and Aunt knew nothing of Kit and Crispins magical heritage, their Uncle did. Their Grandparents were always keen on allowing the two of them to know as much of their family as possible and it was always interesting for Kit to explore the world without magic.
When she received her letter to Hogwarts she was extremely excited. She had spent a long and lonely year with Crispin away at school for most of it and she was practically driving herself mad with the anticipation of getting to attend school. Her Grandparents had gotten so fed up with her moping that they'd shipped her off to spend a few weeks with her muggle relatives. It had done her some good to be away for a while.
She hadn't been surprised by her sorting at all. Gryffindor made sense and though she was annoyed to be placed in a different house from her brother she knew they were fundamentally different people despite how close they were. She took to Gryffindor like a fish to water, and threw herself into school activities with fervor.
In second year she tried out for Quidditch but did not perform well enough. However she persisted and trained over the summer and re-tried during her third year and was accepted on the team as Keeper.
Her ultimate dream in life is to travel the world. She wants to go on adventures and discover things that nobody ever has before. Ideally, she wants to do this alongside Crispin but knows that he's more likely to settle down into some stuffy ministry job. She doesn't fault him for it, but she has big dreams and won't let anything hold her back.
