A Laughing Magpie

Apothecary, former performer, and self-proclaimed magpie, Finch was once part of a traveling group of performers known as Monarch. This was, as Finch describes it, the finest time of her life and she enjoyed the popularity and glamour of it all.
But when a horrific incident forced the troupe to scatter, Finch seemed to all but vanish from the world. Since re-emerging, she refuses to discuss the events that took place that day. But that does not quell Finch's apparent fixation on getting the troupe back together again, nor does it completely bury her own dark little secrets...

Plot Hooks
Apothecary. Need a remedy? A tincture for headaches? A poultice for pain? Finch is a very talented apothecary with a vast knowledge of herbs and their uses. She mostly takes on commission work, as she has a different day job. She can make poisons as well, for a very special price.Night Owl. Though her life has taken quite the turn from her past, Finch still appreciates the various bars, theaters, and lounges the realm has to offer. If there's some display of the arts occurring, she's never very far. Feel free to simply approach if you see her out and about!Former Performer. Once a dancer with a troupe known as Monarch. Finch spent many years within the troupe and greatly enjoyed the lifestyle. But eventually her popularity seemed to go to her head. Living and traveling in such close quarters with so many others eventually culminated in a violent incident thanks to a peculiar affliction Finch carries with her to this day... Maybe you recognize her from her days as a performer.Fang and Claw. Though she tries hard to hide it and blend in with society, Finch cannot escape her affliction. It was this which caused Monarch's downfall, and Finch to go into hiding for a few years. She lived a very different life before the incident, and remains haunted by what she lost. So much so, that she hides an even darker secret... Those keen of eye might notice her physical oddities.
