 the basics FULL NAME naya rae finley AGE & DOB 31 | may 22nd HOMETOWN valkyrie, CA ETHNICITY italian, irish, norwegian LANGUAGES SPOKEN english SEXUAL ORIENTATION heterosexual HAIR COLOR brown with honey highlights EYE COLOR brown HEIGHT & WEIGHT 5'5" | 124lbs DISTINGUISHING MARKS small birth mark underneath left eye, small scar on the left side of her neck from rocky throwing a glass cup at her when they were children.. LIKES/DISLIKES likes: family, food, mom's baking, classic cars, stealing rocky's comic book collection, the safety of her family, caden, cooler ranch doritos, sketching, the beach, popcorn, kings of leon, scented candles, diy activities, sunflowers, beer, sports (any kind). dislikes: bad influences on caden, stuffy rich people, rudeness, migraines, late calls, 'pop' music, burned food, car breakdowns, insects, when things are messy, crying, bad hair days, vomit. STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES strengths: altruistic, strong, maternal, sarcastic, savvy, charmer. weaknesses: self-ignoring, hard-headed, sweet talkers, margaritas, caden's puppy dog eyes, family. SECRETS naya has a feeling that rocky's up to something weird ever since he had the money to put a down-payment on his new house and even finally bought the old camaro that they had been fantasizing over for years. this sudden rush of money didn't go unnoticed to her, but since nothing bad seemed to be happening now, she wasn't questioning it. naya does blame herself for the reason why caden's father julian isn't around anymore. a military man, julian kantos and her had been swept up in a year long romance after a chance meeting together. like her own mother and father, naya and julain kept up their relationship while he came home from leaves and on one of them, caden was conceived. on his next leave julian had the choice to reenlist or to opt out for some time off. while julian wanted to be home he'd asked naya what he should do, he'd have a significant amount of time before he could get veteran benefits at the rate he was going which would be used to take care of their soon to be family, or he could opt out and get a regular job around town. it was naya however who liked to think ahead and encouraged him to go back to reenlist, and after much feuding he did so, not without marrying her first. not long after he reenlisted, naya had learned that julian was being deployed to kuwait to give security to a small town. she never saw him again due to a suicide bomber that leveled the street that julian was patrolling. ever since his captain showed up on her doorstep, naya has held herself responsible. if she'd not told him to reenlist and were more aware of the dangers of his career she might've been able to counter this. | in depth |
PERSONALITY
let's make something clear: i am the cooler finley sibling. every little bit of sarcasm, irony, charm that rocky has, he'd gotten from me. obviously, i've taught him everything he knows but of course he wouldn't want to reference his sister as his mentor. i know he sometimes thinks of me as a second mom, but that's only cause i care and i know there's shit he hides from mom everyday and every time they speak. i'm not dumb, even though he thinks i am. psh, he's the idiot.
i'm maternal, yes, but i'm a mom so how could i not be. i've practically been a mom since i was ten, taking care of rocky and tea, and mom as well when dad passed. things've been hard and then all the drama with rocky's partner and jail-time, what other choice did i have? none. with things taken care of now i have more time to relax, and finally just breathe. i like sitting back on the couch with brother and sister, having a beer and watching tv as much as the next person. we're all still kids in a way, get home and see mom and get excited when she's baking, grill outside together with some of rocky's friends from school and tea's too. hell, me and caden have the greatest bond i could imagine, i mean, he's only four but i imagine that he knows about his father, he's careful around the topic and shows be nothing but love and respect. he's a great kid, hell, i have more fun hanging out with him than people my own age. he makes me feel young when we just kind of sit down watching the avengers cartoon on tv (his favorite), or when he helps me cook or his nona bake. i've been blessed for everything i have, and i can't help but be grateful.

FAMILY LIFE
well, like mother like daughter. my mother raised me, rocky, and tea into a family of a simple school teacher mother, and staff sargent father. dad was always away so it was mom that did the work that is until dad permanently came home when i was eight. while dad came home to be the typical all american dad, and our family returned the goodness of it all. but when dad passed mom began to break down, and the rocky's cop stint didnt last long and brought a bunch of shit to it. it left me to pick up all the pieces while tea was off in LA. but when you love people, it's what you do right?
PARENTS/SIBLINGS
christian finley - deceased, staff sargent in the army, i was your typical daddy's girl, a bit of a tomboy especially since i loved to hang out with my little brother. i miss him, he would always take care of me, take me out on drives with him to just relax and shoot the shit. sometimes i wonder how things would be if he were around, especially if he were to meet caden.
damiana corello-finley - 52, english teacher; since things with my father being diagnosed, and passing and rocky going away to jail my mother and definitely got closer. we were all each other had and though things were hard while rocky was in jail she was there for me too not only when i got the bad news about julian, but when caden was born as well. she truly is the backbone of this family, the heart and soul. i love her, i'm glad she's finally recovering from everything. she's the one woman i will always admire. she's been through a lot.
rocco finley - 30, err something; rocky worries me. all the time. sure, he's my brother but he keeps me in the dark a lot. he likes to think of me as a second mom but i'm just his sister, and i just care. i have to, i raised him as well. i'll always worry about him.
tea finley - 27, publicist; tea's the wild child of the family, she's the baby and all. she's busy living it up in LA, always calls when can. she may be a party girl, but when it comes to things that matter, she does have her head on straight. it's gonna be funny when she turns 30 though, she's gonna cry while me and rocky laugh at her. we've got a bet going to see how quick she comes to us to tell us she might be getting plastic surgery, rocky thinks he's gonna win, oh please.
caden kantos - 41/2, son; my little angel, he's actually a very behaved child and i'm not saying that just cause he's mine. i trained this kid right, he's polite, and courteous. he does act out and throw tantrums here and there but for the most part he's not fussy. he spends a lot of time with my mother since i'm on call a lot, so i can account his good behavior to my mother. i know he's young but he seems to have a good understand of the things going around him.

HISTORY
when i was born my father was away on leave. typical for an army brat family although luckily for us, we had no traveling to do and were able to stay put in valkyrie. while my father only traveled for his leaves instead. i remember my mother talking about the look on my father's face when he first saw me, like someone had present him gold for the taking. only one year after me was rocky. for rocky and then three years later tea's birth, my father had the privilege of being home to witness them. by that time my parents had both decided that three was where they were fine with stopping.
as we grew up in valkyrie it was tough without my father and so i helped my mother when i was younger, cooking, cleaning, both things i actually enjoy oddly enough. it made me feel important which was something i wanted. with my father not being there and my mother being busy most of the time working or taking care of tea since she was the baby, i was left to handle rocky. we were close since the beginning, when i was old enough i would walk him two blocks over to our grandmother's house all the time. on weekdays, i'd make sure the night before and morning of that he was ready and had everything for school, and when we both got back i'd help him with his homework before doing my own. it was never a burden to me, i liked it. it kept me from getting into trouble.
when our father returned home finally it seemed as if everything was perfect. i was finally able to enjoy being a kid and such all through high school. i had my own group of friends and so did rocky, much of them who were trouble makers but nothing too serious. just boys being boys. after high school, was college and med school. i'd become a certified nurse and no time and with a connection in the hospital thanks to mom, i got my job there at 27. while working at the hospital one day, i met julian kantos, a young hot headed marine with a penchant for bar fights. he'd come in on the late night and he'd been assigned to my wing for to examine and give him stitches. despite him being a bit drunk, i believe that he knew what he was saying to me, calling me beautiful and fawning over me like we were in middle school and he had a crush. i didn't take most of what he said serious, especially when he asked me out to dinner at the most expensive place in town. i had figured he was drunk, didn't know what he was doing and probably even saw the restaurant today and just spit it out because it was the only thing he knew of. i ignored it and did his stitches telling him to not split them with anymore broken glass at the bar, or strenuous activity and simply continued on with my day. the next day, conveniently during my shift and in my wing, he was back. he'd split his stitched. the excuse he gave? he was trying to open a jar. good one right?
after him ripping his stitches two more times, an almost-infection, and being asked out five times, i finally agreed to go to dinner with him only after he allowed his stitches to heal. it proved to be the best decision i ever made. while he was here in valkyrie, julian and i quickly became smitten with one another and i promised to wait for him to make something out our lives together. on his next leave we conceived caden but on my five month mark he came home and had the chance to either reenlist or opt out for a few years. i knew that with him reenlisting, the longer he spent the more he had chances to go overseas, and veteran benefits was something that he'd wanted for us. i encouraged him to reenlist, because i knew it would be better for us in the long run. it was probably the decision that i regret the most in my life.
it came only a month or so after rocky had went to jail, a few weeks before caden was actually born. giving birth to caden knowing that he would never meet his father was the hardest thing i've ever done in my life. i remember i was a wreck giving birth to him, crying relentlessly while i was pushing and even more when i was finally holding caden in my arms. he'd just come out but i could already tell he'd gotten julian's features. i spiraled into a mini depression after giving birth to caden that rocky pulled me out of on a visit to him in jail. for once he was the strong one for me, and told me i had been that way my entire life and of all moments i needed to be right now. its always hard to look at caden and see his father, but instead of feeling sad from it i've relished it. it helps, really. i stayed home for the full year after caden was born because to be honest i needed that connection with him. after that i went back to work, and my mother took care of him in the mean time, since then rocky's finally gotten out of jail. despite his own depression at his fallen reputation, career and general life, after reuniting with some high school friends he seems to be in better spirits. not to mention showering us all in the wealth of his new job which he won't reveal. it's weird really. he thinks i can't tell when he's lying but he went from jobless in a disgusting apartment, drunk off his ass everyday, to living in a new house, a new car which we'd always wanted but couldn't afford, and now he's got it. i'm no idiot. i know something's up and will and jackson batting their eyelashes at me isn't going to stop me from finding out.
