Hometown: Sydney, Australia

Blood Status: Unknown
Wand: Curved 14 Inch Swishy Ebony Wand with Augurey Tail Feather Core

Length: A little on the longer side of things, wands of this length are slightly more uncommon and not easily forgotten by others.
Style: Bending to its side, this wand is more difficult to aim than its straighter counterparts but provides character that some simply cannot pass by.
Wood: Ebony wands choose a wizard or witch who could easily be seen as an outsider, but continues to dare to be themselves. The owner of an ebony wand is not easily moved from their purpose: whether that be good, evil, or something perhaps a little more grey.
Core: Since so many wizards are afraid to go near Augureys due to their association as omens of death, Augurey tail feathers are rare as wand cores. They are good for use in divination work.
Flexibility: Swishy: A wand which can quickly cast spells but may need to cast more than one to accomplish the job.

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw

Personality: Finn has always had a fascination for anything outside the ordinary, a regular reader of the Quibbler. Finn collects crystals, fascinated by the power some say they hold, and has already tried to use them to see the future, to no avail. He finds anything beyond the basic human senses fascinating, and yearns to know more about what lies beyond perception. Finn is outgoing when it comes to his social life, and loves getting to know the people around him and making connections with as many people as possible.
Strengths:
-Finn is a very loving person, and he's very sincerely dedicated to the people around him. His life is an open book, and he'll happily ramble to just about anyone who will listen to him like they're his best friend.
-Finn is extremely creative, and thinks of quite unique ways around various problems.
-Finn doesn't have a lot of fears and tends to approach life with a view that everything is worth trying once. He's not a daredevil, but he'll happily throw himself into new things just to experience them.
Weaknesses:
-Finn can be a bit 'much', sometimes paying less attention to the people around him than whatever he's excited about.
-Finn has a tendency to zone out when he gets lost in thought, and doesn't always listen properly.
-Finn struggles with following rules when they don't make sense to him, preferring to forge his own path without necessarily thinking through the consequences.
Hobbies:
Painting - Finn has always been passionate about art, particularly enjoying abstract, impressionist, and neo-expressionist styles. His biggest inspiration is Jean-Paul Basquiat.
Crystals - Finn has collected a lot of nicnacs throughout his life, but crystals are his favourites, and he usually has 4-5 on him at all times, for different reasons.
Tarot - Finn has always had a fascination with telling the future, and likes to experiment with tarot and find his own way of doing readings.
The paranormal/occult - Finn has a fascination for the fringes of magical understanding and eagerly seeks out anything outside the normal sphere of magical knowledge, trying to see what lies beyond what's known.

Personality Type: ENFP (The Campaigner)
The Campaigner personality is a true free spirit. They are often the life of the party, but unlike types in the Explorer Role group, Campaigners are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment than they are in enjoying the social and emotional connections they make with others. Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate, the 7% of the population that they comprise can certainly be felt in any crowd.

Strengths: Curious, Observant, Energetic and Enthusiastic, Excellent Communicators, Know How to Relax, Very Popular and Friendly
Weaknesses: Poor Practical Skills, Find it Difficult to Focus, Overthink Things, Get Stressed Easily, Highly Emotional, Independent to a Fault.

History: Adopted as barely more than a toddler, Finn has no memories of his life in foster care before the Madisons. He grew up in a happy home, with his mother and two adoptive siblings for most of his childhood. From a very young age Finn had a creative streak encouraged by his mother, painting anything and everything he could get his hands on. He was always encouraged by his family to chase whatever fascinated him, so Finn grew up experimenting with all kinds of art projects, from incomprehensible abstract murals on his bedroom walls to tiny, detailed portraits of his family painted on shells he found on the beach. He was always the loner of the family, as Charlie and Emily had been best friends a lot longer than siblings, and Finn naturally preferred his own company for the most part. When Finn was approaching his Hogwarts years his mother adopted one more daughter, another older sister joining the family. Finn quite liked having Odette around, especially after she graduated Hogwarts and he was no longer the only one staying home during the school year.
Health: Finn has mild asthma, and gets terrible hay fever every spring.

full

Goals: Make art and friends for as long as he lives.
Fears: Finn fears being abandoned, with nobody around him.
Secrets: Finn sometimes wishes he knew his birth parents.
Regrets: Finn tries to live a life without regrets, as all his experiences made him who he is.

After watching his siblings leave home for Hogwarts one after another, Finn was over the moon to finally join them. The change in life, though, was a slightly overwhelming one, and finding companionship with the boys in his dorm, Finn mostly kept his head down and kept to himself while he was finding his feet at Hogwarts.
After so many years of imagining what Hogwarts was like, it felt bizarre to be here. So many years of saying goodbye to his mum and siblings as they left for a magical castle Finn couldn't follow them to, and now at last his own turn had come. The castle looked somehow simultaneously nothing and everything like Finn had imagined, and he couldn't stop staring in all directions. So much history, so many things to explore, where was he even going to begin?! Finn stayed with Arthur and the boys they had met on the train as he followed the group of first years into the Great Hall, his heart pounding.

There it was, just as his family had described. That magical ceiling, stretching off into forever. The floating candles, hovering over a dining hall impossibly full of students. Finn wanted to look in all directions at once, forcing himself to tear his eyes away from the students tables to look at the staff one. There was Mum, beaming at him full of pride, and Finn beamed back, returning her small wave. He looked to the Gryffindor table next and spotted Charlie and Emily, grinning as he returned Emily's enthusiastic wave and Charlie's nod of approval with a small wave of his own. As strange and new as the castle was, Finn felt more like he was coming home than leaving it. Finally he would get to spend a whole year with the majority of his family, no longer left behind when everyone else left for Hogwarts. Overjoyed to see his family again, Finn was only reminded of what was to happen next when the first one of his friends from the train was called away to be sorted. Oh. Before his future could really begin, Finn's fate had to be decided. Four different paths for the next seven years, four different homes, four possibilities for the kind of person this school expected him to be. Where was he going to wind up? He stared out over the hall before looking back at the hat in silence, wondering what it would think of him. Which house was looking for someone like him? Finn doubted he would wind up with his much bolder siblings, as nice as that would be. Gryffindor didn't feel like the place for him. Nor did he think he would follow in Odette's footsteps. Finn wasn't sure he had any ambitions for his life in the long term, other than continuing to paint. So that left him with two most likely possibilities. Would he walk his mother's rocky path in Hufflepuff, or forge one of his own in Ravenclaw? Finn had been weighing up these options in his mind for years, wondering what the hat would have to say to him when his turn under its brim finally came, and now, as that moment drew nearer, it still felt no clearer to him.

"Madison, Finn!"

Finn jumped at the sound of his own name, staring up at the headmistress with wide, nervous eyes. This was happening. It was time for his fate to be decided. With Charlie's voice in the back of his mind telling him not to let the hat scare him, Finn stepped forwards, away from his friends and towards whatever the hat had in store for him. As he took his seat and his vision slipped away as the hat slid over his eyes, Finn struck up a conversation in his mind, wondering just how literal his family members had been about the hat speaking to them. 'Hello hat. What's it like to see into people's minds?'

"It is infinitesimally interesting. For instance, I see you have a lot of different paths you could follow, and from seeing, I know the best one....Ravenclaw"

Finn's second year was similar to his first, with his attention largely focused on his art and his schoolwork. He missed having Charlie around at Hogwarts, trying to adjust all over again to having fewer siblings around on a regular basis. He spent more time with his older friends and made a few new friends though, trying to get out of the bubble he had built for himself and get back to his usual outgoing self.

With so little time left before he was the only Madison at Hogwarts, Finn spent a lot of time with Emily before her graduation. He also enjoyed making a few new friends at the castle, getting closer with one of his roommates and spending time with a few older students.

After having a quiet time of it so far, Finn decided that being the only Madison child left at Hogwarts meant it was time for him to spread his wings and push his boundaries. He signed up to the school yearbook team for a new creative outlet, and after some coaching from Odette also joined the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, though it certainly wasn't his biggest strength. On Valentines day he experienced his first kiss with his roommate Teddy, and having found it was a pretty good experience Finn decided to attend a spin the bottle party, where further experimentation confirmed to him that he definitely liked kissing, though the idea of dating still unsettled him a little.

Returning to Hogwarts for his fifth year, Finn found himself much more confident making connections with his schoolmates. He enjoyed meeting new people at a speed dating event, a day which led to an interesting Yule Ball with one of the other participants, as well as some interesting interactions with his older friends. He also returned to the Quidditch team as an alternate Beater, an undertaking his skills continued not to really match. Despite being embarrassed at his lack of flying prowess Finn did his best for the team. Over the summer holidays, Finn was surprised when Charlie came out to the family as nonbinary, accepting their identity with open arms. The revelation caused Finn to think about his own gender and his connection with femininity, eventually coming to the conclusion that he's confidently a feminine boy. He enjoyed the rest of the year in relative quiet, spending time with his friends and doing his best on the Quidditch pitch.

Returning to school for his sixth year, Finn was less certain about Quidditch than ever. With the graduating class gone, he would become one of Ravenclaw's starting beaters, a position he didn't feel qualified for at all. After going back and forth a few times, Finn felt like he had to go ahead with trying out, and took the position despite his fears. And despite his fears, Finn managed to play the game quite well. Building up an off-pitch friendship with the Ravenclaw keeper, Sawyer, Finn went on a few dates with the younger boy, a situation that abruptly became a problem when Finn realised that Sawyer thought they were a couple, rather than just friends having fun. Feeling trapped by the pressure, Finn ended things with the younger boy, hoping his mistake wouldn't wind up causing problems on the pitch.

Finn's final year didn't feel entirely real to him, and he was determined to make the most of the time - not academically by any means, but in terms of his relationships. Despite continuing to feel entirely unsuited for the position Finn remained one of Ravenclaw's starting beaters, which helped repair his messy friendship with Sawyer. Though he mostly stayed out of the relationship drama happening in the rest of his year he was happy to go on dates with both Lucas and Linden, staying out of their messy breakup otherwise. He was pleased to go on another date with Sawyer as well, having rebuilt their friendship through Quidditch, the two able to relax around one another now that they both knew what to expect. Though his NEWT grades were nothing to write home about, Finn was happy to graduate and looking forward to starting his life as an adult.

The thought of graduating was beyond surreal to Finn. He remembered so long ago coming to Emily's graduation, feeling so impossibly small and young looking at the adults up on that stage. He still felt that young, nowhere near ready to be finished with his schooling and moving on to life as an adult. For all the time he had spent preparing for NEWTs and graduation, none of it had all felt real until now. But here he was, with his mum and siblings in the audience, and there was no going back. Hogwarts was over, and it was time to move on and start his own life.

Finn listened as the Minister spoke, wondering why she was giving the speech rather than one of the teachers. He hadn't thought much of Minister Fontaine's policies, though he knew Charlie and Emily disagreed, and he couldn't help thinking she surely had more important things to be doing. Still, at least she didn't try to preach politics at them, and he was glad to hear more from his classmates. Leia's speech was nice, and Finn couldn't help the smile that crept over his face as she spoke. He was more interested in Lucas's speech though, having enjoyed the dalliance he shared with the Hufflepuff this year. He couldn't imagine seeing Hogwarts through the eyes of someone who knew nothing about it, his whole family having been entrenched in the school for almost as long as he could remember. He smiled as he listened, though he knew well the prejudices and problems Lucas spoke about. He applauded when the speeches were done, though his heart started to race as he realised what was next. This was it.

Though his nerves were buzzing, Finn had a while to wait, M being annoyingly late in the alphabet. He applauded for his classmates accepting their diplomas, and after what felt simultaneously like forever and no time at all, his own name was called. Finn's legs shook slightly as he stood and made his way onto the stage, looking out into the audience and grinning at the sight of his family. He hadn't been able to watch all of his siblings graduations, but he was glad to have them here with him now. He crossed the stage quickly and accepted his diploma, hands shaking a little bit. This was really it - he was finished with school, for better or worse.
