PERSONALITY Independent. Tolerant. Kind. Intuitive. Silly. Weird. Compassionate. Sassy. Loving. Hardworking. Tenacious. Never releases from a hug first. "Be kind but take no shit." are words that have always resonated with Kristine. From a young age she believed in humanity and had a strong desire to help people. Her calm and understanding demeanor has always come naturally to her. Standing up for herself? Not as much. Luckily for Kris, having an open and friendly personality meant she never had a shortage of friends or people who would fight for her. She no longer clams up at the sight of conflict or confrontation, instead she learned how to observe with a calm demeanor and non judgmentally ask questions. Or simply sit in silence staring at each other if that's all her patient could manage to do. Oftentimes she appears to be more reserved and quiet. Not because she's shy, but she's reading the room, deciding what needs to be done. Kris loves to watch and observe people, especially those in need. Over the years she's quickly become a patient favorite due to her bedside manner; earning their trust with her willingness to listen and understand. Some psychiatric patients are more complicated than others, but as a true problem solver, she loves a challenge. Every day at St. Mungo's is different which keeps her on her toes and her mind sharp. She has a great - at times dark - sense of humor, and loves to be extremely goofy when she gets comfortable around someone. Kris is extremely loyal. Stupidly loyal at times but she will always give the shirt off her back to someone in need. Her love life is non-existent due to the unhealthy amount of time she spends on her career. Deep down she'd love to have someone to look after her for once, to have a deep connection. Kris casually dates with the expectation of eventually finding a boyfriend. Unfortunately, all opportunity for romance fizzles out once she cancels for work. Her co-workers/mates have become chosen family since her family sucks. Kris deals with her own fair share of vices, such as: smoking ciggies, indulging in baked goods (especially pastries/croissants), and copious amounts of caffeine. There are days at St. Mungos that leave her feeling heavy and sad, somedays she leaves with a hint of Imposter Syndrome because the psychiatric unit isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Kris has a tendency to isolate herself on her days off. She'd rather be alone than have to entertain people which oftentimes makes her feel very lonely. As an ex alcoholic she will always deal with addiction so she avoids alcohol at all costs. However, she will accept a puff (or two) from a spliff if she's feeling a bit naughty, just don't tell her colleagues.. ORIGIN & RELATIONS Gwen Finch - Mother, Deceased Jordan Finch - Father, Pastor (hates magic for obvious reasons) No Siblings HISTORY Kristine Finch was born on February 10th, 1999, in Kensington, London, to a pair of religious Muggles who never believed in magic. Jordan, her father, is a well-known Pastor at a church with a cult following surrounding strong moral values. Her mother, Gwen Finch, was a stay at home mother AKA Helicopter Parent. Being an only child was dreadful since the spotlight was always fixed on her. When Kris received the Hogwarts acceptance letter her religious parents thought it was a cruel joke from the neighborhood teenage boys. A creative form of ding dong ditch for bible thumpers, perhaps. The Finch family discarded the letters until a school representative eventually showed up at their front door one dewey morning, explaining that they had magical lineage in the family. Her father rudely slammed the door in the witch's face causing her to break down their door with magic. Well, that convinced them that magic was real, there was no way a mousy old lady could do that. Her father wasn't going to let his only daughter follow down the "dark path" without a fight.. After weeks of begging non-stop and attending a Muggle-student orientation, her parents finally caved. In a fit of begging to attend this mystery school in Scotland, she accidentally shattered all of the lightbulbs in the house in a frenzy, sobbing her eyes out. There was a burning desire inside this eleven year old to learn more about this place. Her parents were terrified. Magic was the devil in their eyes. He couldn't let his little girl go to some foreign 'demon school' in the Scottish highlands. What if she went missing?! Kris loved Hogwarts. From the first day she set foot in the castle she felt like she was home. Wizard folk were much nicer than Muggles, or so she thought...until she dealt with her first prejudices regarding blood purity towards Muggleborns. A group of Slytherin kids constantly made her feel inferior for being a Hufflepuff, and even worse, a 'Mudblood'! Hell, they all attended the same bloody school, Kris found it hard to understand how blood had 'status' when everyone bled the same color and have the same guts on the inside. It was a rude awakening but she didn't allow that to ruin her expierience. It wouldn't be the first, or last time. Once Kris was a teenager at Hogwarts she had a newfound freedom she always dreamed of. At Hogwarts she could be anyone she wanted to be. Straying as far away from the 'good girl' pastors daughter role possible...trouble found her everywhere she went, loving the thrill of it. Her innocent disposition helped her get away with more than she'd ever admit as a teen who pulled every trick in the book. Partying, sneaking around, stealing cars, selling feet pics to crusty old blokes for beer money, trading her bra for pills, hooking up with older boys...an expansive list of fuckery. Her closest friends were convinced that she wouldn't live to be twenty since she always had a penchant for talking to strangers. Her helpful Hufflepuff heart couldn't help but make new friends everywhere she went. On Kris' final year at Hogwarts she was nearly expelled due to substance and alcohol abuse. She was caught during lecture hours by several Prefects in the bathroom. By some unknown miracle she always maintained good grades, helping her remain under the radar with her Professors until she was. Kris hung out with the wrong crowd often. Those kids easily influenced her into fun, reckless behavior. Especially when boys made her feel pretty while influencing her... In school Kris was open about being a Muggleborn. There was a time she was proud. Until one night in her seventh year she blacked out at a party after heavily drinking. Someone carved 'Mudblood' into her wrist for no other reason than to 'brand' her. She woke up the next morning mortified with no recollection of what happened - only a scab that was painful to the touch. Kris never imagined her 'friends' doing something so shocking and horrible to her. Nothing made the painful mark budge from her skin. For the first time she was ashamed of being part Muggle. She's tried to remove the mark countless times with no luck, resulting in her to cover with long sleeves or jewelry. Her first job was working at Madam Pudifoots as a barista. It was a fun first job for a seventeen year old and she maintained the job until she got a job offer as a welcome witch at St. Mungos. Everything was going great. The only void she truly felt in her life were her parents. They never came around to an understanding or agreement about the magical world. They preferred to pretend like magic wasn't real. Pretend like Kris wasn't real. Kris was disowned by the age of nineteen, learning to make a life for herself by couch surfing and odd jobs to keep her afloat. When her mother passed away before graduation, she was never notified. Something that never sat well with her. On Kris' twentieth birthday her life changed forever. After a night of partying with her mates she got behind the wheel of her vehicle. It was a rainy night, she was always known as a terrible driver. She flipped her car into a ravine and nearly died. Kris got lucky that she was able to walk away from the accident with minor injuries and a few scars, rather than losing her life. It was the awakening she needed to get her shit together. As she lay in a hospital bed she realized she could have killed herself, or worse, an innocent bystander. Kris joined AA with the pressure of her mates, promising them, and herself, to never touch alcohol again. She went against the plan, naturally lashing back, but after a few months in and out of rehab she beat her first clean streak. Kris found a passion for healing while at the hospital. For the first time in her life she felt like her life had meaning and there was no way she was going to waste it by abusing her body and loved ones any longer. Kris is currently a Healer at St. Mungos Psychiatric unit. She has devoted her life to being a sponsor for her AA group and has found meaning for her life by helping people who struggle with similar issues she's battled forever. And will battle forever. There are days she's reminded that she's an addict, wishing desperately she could indulge in a glass of wine and/or shots with the girls. She hasn't had a drink in over 10 years. SITE EVENTS REACTION Kris found the attacks of the Muggleborns very disturbing. It put her in a weird place, wondering if she would be next. Kris doesn't tell many people openly that she's a Muggleborn anymore unless if it naturally comes up, or if people notice the branded Mudblood on her arm. During the dragon attacks of Hogsmeade village Kris was working at St. Mungos. It was one of her first triage instances at the hospital. Kris is deeply afraid of dragons because she doesn't quite understand them. Kris was devastated to hear and see the destruction of Hogwarts castle. WANT AD
