HISTORY
[CW: kidnapping, physical abuse/torture, 'dog fighting', death]
Born to parents whom she can't remember, Finley was abducted at a young age by a rich vampir, an elite businessman that was involved in the underworld. Him and his subordinates trained her to be a fighter in the ring, pitting her against 'bait' weres, usually felines and coyotes, ones that were deemed as the weakest of the bunch. Any resistance on her part was met with beatings.

When not fighting for her life, she was kept in heavy chains, laced with silver to improve her endurance and weaken her humanity. She was only an 'it' or 'the mutt' the whole time she was kept in captivity. She was never given enough food to fill her belly, just enough to keep her alive, and affection was a foreign concept. There was no reward when she performed well; there was only the relief of knowing she wouldn't be lashed and struck once money traded hands.

She wasn't anything more than a machine. Her only purpose was to fight and kill.

Her will to survive earned her a reputation among the criminal community, a double-edged sword. On one hand, it brought her the favor of her captor: he was more willing to spend money to treat her wounds, more willing to spare her the occassional praise. But it also meant more and more people came to see her fight, bringing with them their own weres that, like her, were reduced to little more than animals.

It was a wonder she never went mad. Somehow, luckily or unluckily, she never became a Vargulf.

Fin did get used to it. They got used to the violence, to the give and take of pain, not even snapping their opponent's neck fazed them anymore. There was no stopping to consider it — they didn't have a choice. If one of them had to die, it might as well be the other party.

Just when it started to become a routine, no end in sight, they were saved.

It was all a blur after that, one confusing whirlwind of police asking questions and probing their damaged mind for answers, trying to gather evidence to put away their captor for good. Eventually the officers realized they were no help and handed them off to an organization that was dedicated to protecting and helping those like them, people who'd been abused and mistreated. They didn't understand what was happening, couldn't understand.

After months of clinical work, it was decided that it'd be best for them to be put in a different environment. They sent them away from the city, to a small and peaceful village where they hoped they could be rehabilitated with some help from a local werewolf family, who often took in lost souls as their own. It was a jarring change, having people to call their family, and it took a lot of work to get them used to being an actual person, but after nearly a year they've come a long way.

They're still awkward and unsure how to interact with others, too fearful to truly trust anyone besides their new family, but they're trying their best.

HISTORY
Her childhood was normal, up until the age of six. Her parents got into a car accident one night, her mother having died upon impact and her father following later on in the hospital, which left Ainsley in the care of her maternal grandmother.

When she reached age ten, she started training with Stellar magic, the kind that ran on her mother and grandmother's side. Her parents had been against teaching her the kind of magic that had gotten so many people killed in the past. They'd intended for her to be a Wind Magi, like her father, but her grandmother wanted to pass on the art despite the danger that came with it.

She was proud of their lineage, but Annie herself has never been a big fan of having to sneak around and keep secrets.

Besides that, she faced the typical problems of growing up, like being picked on throughout middle and high school and suffering from self-confidence issues because of it. Her solace was getting lost in books, where she could pretend to be someone else: someone who was strong, self-assured, and actually did their math homework.

She aspired to go to college after highschool, possibly even to Blackwell Academy — but, considering their low status and issues with money, it was next to impossible. After graduation, she went to work, doing whatever jobs she could to make ends meet. Eventually she was hired by Madame Le Fay at her bookstore, where she's been working at going on three years.

Her grandmother also did work as an archivist until about a year ago, when she was forced to retire after a fall that broke her hip and fractured her ankle. Now she stays at home and is continuously fussed over by Ainsley.
