Background
Appearance in Anime
Finn grew up as an orphan, surviving on the streets through wit, agility, and his talent for picking pockets. His skills kept him alive in a harsh world, but they also isolated him, as he learned to rely only on himself. Finn’s life changes dramatically when a chance encounter with the X-Playing Cards draws him into the dangerous underworld where these artifacts are coveted.
Seeking both purpose and stability, Finn accepts an offer to join High Card, an organization working under the guise of a luxury car company that secretly recovers the scattered X-Playing Cards on behalf of the monarchy. Through his missions, Finn begins to confront his emotional wounds and learns the value of teamwork and trust.

His posture is alert and ready for action, reflecting his life on the edge, and his expressions range from cool confidence to moments of deep vulnerability when his past or moral dilemmas catch up with him.
Personality

While he initially keeps others at arm’s length, wary of betrayal, he shows a strong sense of loyalty to those who earn his trust.

Over time, Finn reveals himself to be courageous and selfless, willing to put himself in harm’s way to protect his teammates or innocent bystanders. He struggles internally with guilt and fear of losing those he cares about, making his emotional journey as compelling as his physical battles.
