Finn Ames

Finn Ames is a first-year student at Easton Magic Academy, and one of the main characters of the Mashle series.

Appearance
Finn has an average build, with skinny legs. He has got black hair, with a yellow streak on the left side of his fringe. His magic mark appears on his right cheek, as a straight line from his eye to his jaw. While at Easton, he wears the standard Adler robe, but when away from school he often wears casual clothes, consisting of a shirt, waist coat and trousers.

Personality
Finn is the Straight Man to the other characters' strange antics. He is a coward who gets frightened very easily. He is extremely loyal to his friends and cares about them deeply. He goes to great lengths for the people he is close to. During the Divine Visionary Selection Exam Arc, Finn endured all of Carpaccio Luo-Yang's attacks so he could protect the crystal that would allow Mash to move forward with the exam. He is also shown to be shy and likes to live a trouble-free student life as shown in his earlier interactions with Mash.

Easton Enrollment Arc
During the Lock Opening Spell class, Mash causes a scene and Finn notes that Mash is a troublesome person he should avoid. Eventually, however, he learns that he's sharing the same room with him. Mash introduces himself and all of the individual muscles of his. When Mash asks Finn how one becomes a Divine Visionary, Finn discloses the Coin system to him leaving Mash crestfallen. After the conversation, Mash asks Finn for a spare broom for the flight class the following day as he brought a scrub brush instead. Perplexed as to why Mash did bring that, he still gives him his spare anyway though.

The following day, Finn witnesses Mash excel through the flight lesson by throwing his broom at an ultra-fast speed. He then rides on it, breaking a world record in the process. Afterward, Finn explains to Mash whom Lloyd Cavill is.

Equipment
Wand: Finn wields a very simple-looking wand.

Magic and Abilities
Changeas (チェンジズ, Chenjizu): Finn's personal magic. It swaps the positions of designated targets. If used with the right timing, it allows Finn to escape a battle. Kaldo Gehenna, a Divine Visionary, views Changeas as a very useful magic and sees potential in it. This magic can potentionally heal injuries. Finn can also use his magic in combat. By casting Changeas in the right timing, Finn can effectively counter attacks of multiple enemies by swapping their places to make them hit each other.
 * Changeas Secondth: Butterfly Sanitatem (チェンジズ・セコンズ 「バタフライ・サニタテムズ」, Chenjizu Sekonzu「Batafurai Sanitatemuzu」): The Secondth of Finn's Changeas. It summons a giant butterfly-themed entity with the ability to heal and to share Finn's magic power with its targets. The entity generates several magical butterflies that surround its targets and applies its powers on them. Finn can also continuously heal targets.


 * Sanitatem (サニタテムズ Sanitatemuzu): A follow up technique of Butterfly Santitatem. Finn summons magical butterflies that surround a target to heal and share his magic with them.

Quientus (クワイエントス, Kuwaientosu): A basic magic spell that calms down a designated target and makes them silent. Finn learned the spell from Lance Crown during a lesson with him. The spell is often used to make Mandragora fall asleep so they can be used for potions.

Nalcos (ナルコス, Narukosu): A basic magic spell. Shoots a magic bullet at a target.

Great Magic Power: Initially a single-liner, Finn only possessed an average amount of magic power. He awakened a second magic line during the battle between Rayne and Delisaster, which greatly increased his magic power. He also appears to be able to release enormous amounts of magic power without using a wand, as demonstrated in the fight against Delisaster where he used this ability to retrieve his wand.

Keen Intellect: Finn possesses a considerable intellect. Finn is one of the few people to be able to see and analyze some of Mash's faster movements and strategies, as seen in the Margarette and Mash fight, as well as the broom race in the beginning. He's quite strategic as well, being able to quickly come up with the plan to use a stone to break a fragment of Windie's helmet's head blade to use as a mirror to cover his blind spot during battle. He is also cunning enough to fool his opponents with fake spells, such as:
 * Dangerousse (デンジャラス, Denjarasu): A faux spell, which Finn uses to distract his opponent, giving him the opportunity to flee. He points his wand at his target and simply shouts the spell before leaving.

Enhanced Speed: Finn is a rather quick person, using his speed to run away from battles and other dangers. He can also change his posture at incredible speed to apologize, like he did with Andie and Windie.

Relationships
Rayne Ames

Rayne appears to treat Finn very poorly. He is very judgmental towards Finn's wish to help everyone who is fighting and even tells him to leave Easton Academy for his weakness. Rayne goes as far as to tell Finn that the later is a burden even after he tried and succeeded in opening the path into Innocent Zero’s lair and stops him from helping in fighting. However, Rayne has distanced himself from Finn out of fear that he might be targeted with Rayne becoming a Divine Visionary and working to create a world that is fair to orphans like themselves, which could cause societal backlash. Finn, on the other hand, feels that Rayne's measures to protect him are unnecessary and just wants to be close with his brother. They seemingly make up after Finn miraculously uses a Secondth spell and fights Delisaster together with Rayne.

Mash Burnedead

Mash and Finn are roommates, and Finn is Mash's first and best friend. Finn has risked his life for Mash's future, and Mash has punished the people who had hurt Finn, such as Lloyd Cavill and Carpaccio Luo-Yang. Finn wants to help Mash become a Divine Visionary and for them to graduate together.
