Finch Gang

Name: Finch

Gang Colors/Symbols: They don't officially have any gang symbols but they tend to be associated with mail and gossip and finches for those who know what the birds look like.

Territory: A series of hiding places just south of Finch Avenue near East Don territory. One of their favorites used to be a Chinese restaurant. They have a garden that provides them with almost all the food they ever need in Mitchell Field Park, and at least one of the gang members could be found there every day by someone who is familiar with the location.

Age: This gang has been around for a few years although they're very subtle and quiet. It formed out of a group of rogue Outsiders at first.

Size: 5 guys and a boy.

Temperament/Activities: Loosely bound together but they look out for each other like brothers. Since they're such a small gang they can only really afford to look after one or two tweeners at a time. Some gang members wander off on their own or join other gangs for a while. This tends to happen with the tweeners they take on as well. Being so close to East Don means they are really living on the edge. They're constantly in hiding and they keep their numbers low on purpose so that the larger gang doesn't see them as a threat. The borders of East Don are strictly off limits for their foraging trips, and someone needs to be on watch every night. They are friendly with YM and sometimes go for a visit. They rarely have direct contact with 401 because they are on opposite sides of the city with East Don between them, so Finch and 401 are on fairly neutral terms with each other.

The Finch gang is a big part of the grape vine. They often visit other friendly gangs, especially Willowdale, and pass along messages and information among the gangs. They also trade some objects, deliver small items from one gang to another, or generally lend a hand to other gangs in exchange for food and hospitality. Most of the Finches' food comes from their garden, and almost all of the rest that they need is provided by this friendly 'mail man' sort of relationship with other gangs, but the Finches still go foraging occasionally.

Members: Their impromptu leader is Emerson Chestnut. The whole gang knows basic first aid. The other members' names are Wonton, Shanghai, Lychee, Talbot and Mitchell. Mitchell is the youngest, around 12 years old.
