Hello my lovelies. This is Jordan, and I come bearing gifts.

I mean, new characters. Er. Singular.

Welcome Kestrel Finley, call him Fin. Deck born, and obsessed with history, he joined the Clubs and became their resident Professor with a focus in Deck-specific history and statistics. He's extremely miffed about this whole Arcana nonsense and it's lack of useful and applicable information within the Deck libraries.

He is also extremely absent minded about anything and everything except what he's currently focusing obsessively on. Or, in other words, anything but his lovely, dusty books. He somehow manages to live completely on chocolate, red wine, and espresso; unless someone puts something else to eat in front of him. And then he'll only eat it out of reflex.

Mm... Additionally - he's not particularly nice. That isn't to say he's deliberately mean, but he just doesn't think about the things that come out of his mouth when he's talking to people. So he's rude, and can be a little... well, mean, sometimes. Particularly when you interrupt his work. Jut call him on it. He'll probably feel appropriately guilty.

Sophie hopes he has the good sense to preserve fragile materials unlike some other historians *cough*Adrien*cough* she could name.

How old is Fin?

Lets say... early thirties. That look right for him.

All of the sighs.

Eat real food, Fin. Real food.

He's four years older than Sophie. They probably know each other, if nothing else as the tight-fisted archivist who doesn't let go of her materials. Play nice and she will ply him with Godiva chocolate and set aside tomes she'd never let Adrien near--assuming he knows how to treat them.

As a small child, Sophie was given to running away and hiding in trees. Not sure how well they would have known each other given the age difference--huge when you're kids.

ETA: Yes, this is H/V!Sophie account. Too lazy to change log-ins.

Oh, Fin will treat them like their angels sent down from Heaven just for him. She doesn't have to worry about that one whit. And I can see them being some kind of buddies. If only because they end up spending so much time around one another.

They... probably wouldn't have known each other well as children.

Pfft. Real food. What is this?

Frankie would bring Fin a bagel, but he wouldn't appreciate it. She will bring him back whole fresh-roasted espresso beans and bottles of wine from Little Italy though.

This is why they're friends. Really.

She likes him already then and cannot wait to say to Adrien, "Why can't you be more like Fin? He wears the gloves."

I doubt they would have known each other much either. Different Suits and different ages will do that. Besides, her handlers were pretty fierce.

Also, Harry Dresden (even though he looks nothing like book Dresden). Makes me smile just to look at the PB. He doesn't have a talking skull does he?

Yes, he is a shining example of proper library behavior~

And... no. No skull. But I'll admit, I've been watching The Dresden Files, which got me to the PB >>

And even if they don't look alike, I think the fact that they got character personalities pretty close made up for it. Except Murphy is blonde. And the inconsistency kills me.

if he behaves, she will ply him with tea (or caffeine of his choice) and chocolate and dusty old tomes. (Only, not dusty because (1) Sophie wouldn't allow that and (2) Isaac.)

I liked the show once I let go of my, 'But--but--but--he's not 6'6" and Murphy is blonde and Bob is a skull--A. SKULL!' and all the other book fan protests. I wish it had continued.

He has a skull. That's something? I wish it had too. Le sigh. At least the books continue. Though, to be honest, since my stint in CH, I haven't had a chance to actually read the latest ones. So I decided to just reread the whole series. I forgot how long it was.

He loves all those things~

Thirties you say? These two probably knew/know each other, then.

Lovely. Hello person he knew who he probably forgets the name of all the time ♥

Hello hello. I'd return the heart but Rachel hearts no man. Especially not one who forgets who she is. :|

;P

XD He probably deserves the lack of a heart.

:P Rachel seems to think so. But I don't! ♥

Iota knows him.

Read: Iota is that girl who keeps messing around in his library. And who probably asks him lots and lots and lots of questions about Deck-history.

Oh Iota. He is both amused, and deeply, deeply annoyed by her.

In the most teacher kind of way.

Awww, wonderful.~

She might try to occasionally get him to eat things like fruits. Or vegetables. Or meat. And stuff.
Maybe ice cream.
Because: someone once taught her that living off of candy doesn't work.

What a wise person.

A very wise person.

You shouldn't have allowed her to read books, Fin.

Obviously it was a failing on his part.

With good side-effects?

~~she also probably calls him 'Boss'.~~

And. Ffff. Schooooool now. forever. :|

The best~
