Finn Cooper (alias Sean Thomason; born March 16, 1992) is the son of Paul and Celeste Cooper, younger brother of Maggie Cooper, and paternal half-brother of Lilly and Christina Rush.
Background[]
For a 17-year-old, Finn behaved like an immature child sometimes. He developed a drinking and gambling habit whenever he had a minor problem, yet would give a hard time to his dad to track him down and try to clean his own mess. Upon meeting Lilly in late 2009, Finn aspired to become a cop like his half-sister, much to her support, but contrary to their father.
Profile[]
Finn grew up unaware of Lilly's existence and knew little of his father's life before he was born. He finally learned about his half-sister after she tracked down her father and began to reconnect with him. After several declined invitations from the Cooper family to have Lilly over and finally meet her in person, he made a desperate point of action to meet her by himself.
Finn went to the police station where Lilly worked, and had Officer Lennox ask for her. After waiting a few minutes however, Finn left probably being nervous. The following night, Finn would be brought back in by the officers again, for drunk and disorderly charge and asked for Lilly's presence once more. When Lilly asked for his name, he gave a fake ID with the name Sean Thomason. Though Lilly immediately recognized it as fake, Finn asked about what she did there. The drunken Finn was unable to provide any answers of his own, so Lilly had him placed in a holding cell downstairs to cool off.
Lilly woke Finn up the next morning, having found out who he really was. Finn admitted that he simply wanted to see what Lilly looked like, and revealed that he knew little of his father's younger years. Lilly then let him go, only after giving him her call card and reminding him that he shouldn't need to get himself locked up by the officers whenever he wanted to see her.
Lilly and Finn formally began meeting properly after this, with Lilly telling him more about their father's past.
Some weeks later, Paul would find Lilly's card and learned that they finally both been meeting behind his back. Paul and Finn argued, and he ran away, taking his father's car and a thousand dollars in cash. Finn drove to Atlantic City, where he luckily won five hundred dollars, but lost the car in the process when it was get towed.
Paul caught up with Finn soon after this with Lilly's help, and brought him back home. Finn announced his intention to become a cop like Lilly, instead of attending Cornell University like his father was expected. Paul was appalled at this, which in turn offended Lilly. The three argued, until Celeste came out of the house and insisted that the three needs to come inside and eat the dinner she'd cooked and to settle everything up. After a dressing down and a gentle admonition from Celeste, the tension between them was finally settling down, and Lilly finally begin to joined the Cooper family for their traditional dinner night.
