overall personality:
Tamara is known to be a very nice and kind person, loyal to her friends and almost all of her family, though there is a fair share that she would not be loyal to. Contrary to many people’s personality, she is extremely patient, maybe because of all she had to deal with so much when she was just a child and even into her teenage years. Tamara is also known to be rather determined; maybe that’s what makes her a hard working person. Not only is she determined, but she is also rather feisty and sassy.
She also carries her head high, showing off her bold and lively personality for the whole world to see, showing this façade of being all right, though she is a bit broken on the inside. Having watched her ex-boyfriend, and a good friend, be killed for being a muggle-born, destroyed her a bit. Tamara can also be quite stubborn, not listening to anyone that wants to tear her down. She can also be quite playful, or she was before ethan was killed. There are still times where she will tease and laugh, but those days are numbered.

history:
Born just as the sun rose over Paris, France, was two daughters of Penelope and Ronan Finch. Named Tamara and Tia, the young girls were welcomed into the little family of muggles. The two sisters grew up together, were raised together and were inseparable. Tamara was the youngest out of the twins, meaning she was the youngest of three children within the Finch clan. But you see, what they would learn, later on, would be that the twins were different, much more different than any would imagine. When they were only five years old, they almost lost their father. He had been a marine doctor that had gotten hurt while in the line of duty and was honorably discharged when he lost his foot because of it. After their father’s honorable discharge, the little family moved from Paris to London, where they went to stay with their father’s sister while he healed up.
Their mother was quick to get back into her practice as a lawyer in London, and it wasn’t long before her father got back into medicine, working at the local hospital tending to both normal patients and those that had been hurt in any battles of the war. They were all raised the same way, all three children going to regular school, at least, until the twins turned eleven and received their letters to Hogwarts, at first the entire family was confused, but then they realized they had some exceptional children. This caused their older brother, who was way past eleven, to grow somewhat jealous.
Quickly the arrangements were made, their shopping was done, and they were off to King Cross Station. Instantly they were welcomed into Hogwarts, and their first day they stood before the sorting hat. And when it was Tamara’s turn, she was so nervous as she slowly moved forward, sat upon the stool and felt the talking hat be placed upon her head. HUFFLEPUFF was yelled, and Tamara was free to sit with her house, a roar of laughter and clapping leading her towards them.
Her first year was great, it went by a little fast, though she had made several friends, many of which were from different houses. One of them had been a boy named Ethan, and she quickly joined his little group of friends. Quickly summer came, and the two girls were returned home to their family, this was when they learned that their older brother had graduated from school and promptly went to join the military, like their father. They were all worried but knew that he would do good.
Time continued, and soon she was welcomed into the Quidditch team for her house, she was a Chaser. Because of her place on the Quidditch team, something that she loved and was rather good at, she gained quick popularity among the younger students and her house. Then when Tamara was in her fourth year, she had gotten word that her brother had passed away. He had been killed saving his bannermen, having thrown himself on a bomb and was blown to pieces. That was her first taste of death and Tamara lost a bit of herself, but her friends and her sisters were there for her. Because of his death, Tamara’s mother shipped her a package that held a necklace that her brother had bought for her before he died, and thus she was never parted with it.
Then, two years later, in her seventh-year things began to change. She became the Hufflepuff Quidditch captain, but not only that; people started dying, a muggleborn student had been killed on the train ride to Hogwarts. And she had a feeling this was just the beginning. Another person died, a member of the Quidditch team of Ravenclaw, she didn’t know him, but it was another loss. The school fell into chaos, people blaming other people. It was during this time she grew closer and closer to Ethan, close enough that the two began to date. Their life was filled with happiness, at least, as happy as people could be during this time of death and tragedy. It was also during this time that a supposed group called, the Phoenix Rising, that Ethan talked her into joining the group, and she did. A few of her friends had joined as well, but she was there because she believed in the cause, wanting to find out who was killing muggleborn and because it was something that Ethan believed in.
However, it was during this time that Ethan himself was attacked. He wouldn’t reveal who had hurt him, who was behind the attack and possible all the other attacks, and Tamara grew rather angry. Why wouldn’t he tell anyone so they could stop it from happening again? But with each visit to the hospital with Ethan’s best friend, he was there to comfort her. And because of this, the two slowly caught feelings. Tamara was trapped between two people that she loved, her love for Ethan and her newfound love for his best friend. She couldn’t decide, and it ate her inside.
She slowly began to realize, that she loved Ethan as more of a friend than as a lover, and by the time that March came around, she realized that they would be better said broken up. So, it was just after the Phoenix Rising meeting, while Ethan was in a wheelchair and she was with him, that she broke up with him. It was a horrible conversation; she couldn’t even tell him why, and she hated herself for breaking him.
But before she could even tell him the reason, like she wanted to, he was killed. It was April; the group had decided that they would hide him from those that would try to kill him because he had told who had attacked him. Elaine Dupree, she was the reason that Ethan was hurt and the reason for everything. Tamara, Ethan’s best friend, and Dominique Weasley had been there on that horrible day, a fight to the death against Elaine, or rather a fight that lead to Ethan’s death. Tamara watched as the light left his eyes, and she was there to weep over his death.
After Ethan’s death, Tamara changed just a bit. She fell out of love with Quidditch, though she continued her time with it while at Hogwarts, and after graduation she quickly went to intern at the Daily Prophet, and it was just after her eighteen birthdays that she began dating once more. Dating her dead ex-boyfriend’s best friend, a man that she had fallen for a while back.
After she graduated, she had thought about continuing to help the Phoenix Rising group by moving into the more “mature” group of the Order of the Phoenix, but because she only joined because of Ethan, she couldn’t do it. It was also at the time of her graduation that she had bought a locket and filled it with a picture of her and Ethan together, her kissing his cheek that they had taken during their relationship, as well as adding a small photo of her and her siblings to remember her brother.
Now, as she heard the news that more people are dying, the world-changing before her very eyes, she knows that Elaine is still out there and will stop at nothing to destroy all of the blood impurities. Including muggleborns like herself, but she believes that she will eventually be stopped. It is also during this time that she learned about the Triwizard Tournament happening at Hogwarts, and recently that the winner was a member of Hogwarts itself. But she barely paid attention to that side of the story, only sticking close to the story because of her work. But with Elaine’s movements unknown, Tamara as thought about joining the Order of the Phoenix once more, to stop Elaine and get justice for Ethan.
site events reaction:
All the recent attacks have deeply affected Tamara, not only because she is a muggleborn herself, but because she watched her ex-boyfriend and best friend killed before her very eyes. Everything seemed to be focused around her blood status, and that was why she turned to the Phoenix Rising during her final few years of Hogwarts, once the killings and kidnappings were triggered. After the death of Ethan, her life changed and now she wants to stop the person responsible for everything before it's too late, before more people have to die.
