FINLEY loved attention.
She despised people with a twang of fruity passion, but she basked in admiration and laughs, or even disapproving glances and reprimand. If she couldn't get their attention in a positive way, the next thing you knew she was in police custody and needed bailed out.
Her ability to worm her way out of difficult situations was inhuman, otherworldly- almost like a superpower. She could easily manipulate someone, discover their deepest darkest secrets and fears as if it were reciting the alphabet. Her uncanny ability to always know was described by people as mind-reading. People, not friends. For Finley Stephens did not have friends.
Finley had been born on the 1st of October 1989 to Lois Stephens. Whenever the blonde beauty had asked her mother for stories of her pregnancy, she remained oddly quiet, though this was not out of character for the businesswoman. Finley's 'superpower' did not work in this situation for reasons unknown to her. It was almost as if there was a wall guarding these memories, or something of the sort. In some ways, Finley might believe someone should they tell her that it had never happened at all.
