The elder Miss Finch is one of the many ymbrynes who live in the UK.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children[]
She is mentioned alongside her niece by Miss Peregrine to Jacob Portman.
Description[]
Not much is known about Elder Miss Finch although she much prefers to stay in bird form (in her case a finch). Presumably, she changes back into a human often enough to prevent getting trapped in bird form.
Peculiarity[]
She is an ymbryne, which gives her the power to manipulate time and turn into a bird, specifically a finch. Her niece is also a finch, but the pair are likely two different kinds of finch, since no two currently living ymbrynes can be the same type of bird.
