Ginevra Molly Weasley
6th year, Gryffindor
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Ginny has the signature Weasley red hair, but instead of her hair being a regular red, like the rest of her family, it is a fiery red. Her hair is usually in a loose ponytail or half up- half down, kept there by her signature black ribbon. You usually never see her with her hair down, but if you do, if means she's feeling pretty good about herself or it's a special occassion. She also has vivid brown orbs and there is usually a glint of happiness in her eyes and you usually never see the glint of happiness gone unless you have truely pissed her off, which is not a smart idea.
She is beautiful although she tends not to care. She could care less about looks, if she had her say in it. She has somewhat high cheekbones and is fair skinned. Although her skin does have a nice ivory/olive tint to it. She tends to blush quite a bit when complimented though. It is always wise to stray clear when her eyes flash dangerously. If you happen to be in the way, well let's just say it won't be pretty.
Ginny has a petite and small body, although she does have curves. Her body is pretty much developed, if you know what I mean, although she never wears too revealing clothing. She doesn't really like to show too much skin and she usually wears Muggle converses, which she had gotten from her dad, who is obsessed with Muggle objects.
Personality:
Ginny is a very compassionate, caring and kind person. She cares a lot about other people, especially her friends and family. She would do absolutely anything to protect or help her friends and family. She loves to help other people and would do a lot to be able to do this. Ginny is very good at relating to other people which makes her empathetic. She is also very good at being able to talk to people when they are flustered or just very upset. She is one of the only people who can talk to Harry when he's upset. Ginny has a way of being able to make most people comfortable around her, although it doesn't work with everyone.
Ginny is very intelligent, clever and cunning. She is a fast learner and also retains a lot of knowledge. She is very good at remembering things along with facts. Ginny likes to read and learns a lot that way, although she doesn't read as often as she'd like to. She is good at getting herself out of trouble by thinking of a quick solution. Although her quick solutions don't always completely solve the problem. Ginny is a powerful witch even though her size might fool most people. When she was still in school Fred and George used Ginny as an example to Harry as why size doesn't mean power. In this they were referring to her Bat Bogey Hex, which she still is very good at.
Ginny, like the rest of her family, inherited the Weasley temper and stubborn streak. She tries to be even tempered as much as she possibly can but it usually doesn't work. If her temper is tested the result isn't good. When she's angry Ginny gets very defensive, started yelling and screaming, says things that she doesn't mean and can become quite cold toward the person. She doesn't like her temper but she knows it's not something she can change. Ginny is extremely stubborn when she wants to be, the rest of the time she's just stubborn. She doesn't like being told what she should and shouldn't do, especially when her mind is made up. When her stubbornness is coming out she won't listen to anyone else and she'll do what she wants to do. Her stubbornness isn't usually that big of a pain for others, usually.
Ginny is very playful, fun loving, independent and sarcastic. She gets her sarcasm mostly from Ron, although she isn't as sarcastic as he is. Ginny is very independent. She knows how to rely on herself and hates having people being too protective of her or hover over her. She also doesn't like having things done for her, she much rather do it herself. She loves to have fun and knows how to have a good time. She is most playful around her close friends and her family. Ginny likes to tease people, but only the all in good fun, teasing. She is still a little kid at heart. Ginny can be a bit mischievous too. She loves pranking and would always be the one to help Fred and George with their pranks when they would let her. Now, instead of just helping them she also pulls her own pranks. Also Ginny is sympathetic, talkative and usually outgoing.
History:
Ginny spent her childhood dreaming of the day she would go to Hogwarts--and spent the year before she did dreaming of meeting the legendary Harry Potter. When he became friends with her brother Ron, who is just a year older than Ginny, and even stayed at the Burrow, a more confident girl would have seen it in as a stroke of luck. Unfortunately, Ginny was completely overcome by Harry's bravery and kindness and was convinced he'd never show interest in her. Her brothers' teasing about her feelings didn't help. Whenever Harry approached, Ginny either ran away or dropped whatever she was holding and turned red. Although normally chatty with her brothers, Ginny never spoke in Harry's presence until she demonstrated her own bravery by defending him to Draco Malfoy in the Flourish and Blotts bookshop just before she started school.
Of course, the Flourish and Blotts encounter was pivotal for another reason; when Ginny looked at the secondhand textbooks her parents had bought her there, she found an old diary in one of them. It was just what she needed, an outlet for her embarrassment over her tattered robes and inability to impress the boy she adored. Ginny wrote about these things in the diary as she started her Hogwarts education, and the memory of Tom Riddle, who owned the diary fifty years before, wrote back in a most friendly manner. Little did Ginny know, Riddle was actually a fragment of Lord Voldemort's own soul; his diary, a Horcrux, had been slipped into her books by former Death Eater Lucius Malfoy, and the more she wrote in it, the stronger this version of Voldemort became. Riddle enchanted Ginny to set his Basilisk on the school's Muggle-born students. She started to question the diary's power as hours disappeared from her memory. She would find herself covered in feathers or paint, having been forced to kill off the school roosters on one occasion and to paint the Heir of Slytherin's message on the wall on another.
Afraid she was being used to attack students, Ginny tried to get rid of the diary by flushing it down a toilet. Moaning Myrtle, a ghost, revolted against the book in the pipes, though, and flooded the toilet so the diary was found by Harry himself. As soon as Ginny realized he had it, she rummaged through his room to take it back. It wasn't long before Riddle tried to get rid of her by leading her down to the Chamber of Secrets to die so he would live fully again. Fortunately for Ginny, Harry came to rescue her as Riddle thought he would, and he was more of a success at it than Riddle had expected. Ginny never suffered blame for the diary incident, and Headmaster Dumbledore quickly dispelled her fears of expulsion. However, she suffered the huge setback of owing Harry her life and her reputation when she had so wanted to prove herself to him.
For the next couple of years at Hogwarts, Ginny reverted to silence around Harry unless she was in the presence of her brothers, most of whom she feels very comfortable with. Ginny brought Harry a magical get-well card after his Quidditch defeat in her second year, and just before her third year, she was in his company at the Quidditch World Cup. Midway through her third year, Ginny accepted Neville Longbottom's invitation to accompany him to the Yule Ball, and shortly after that, Ron suggested she go with Harry. Though this was a sore disappointment at the time, Ginny did meet a Ravenclaw boy named Michael Corner at the Ball, and they began going out at the end of that year. Ginny gained a great deal of confidence from this and lost her self-consciousness around Harry. (This, of course, was her aim, on Hermione's advice.) She also probably gained a great sense of purpose while living at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. The fight against Voldemort is probably more personal to her than to her likewise inquisitive brothers, because unlike them, she has faced him before.
During Ginny's fourth year, then, she had no inhibitions around Harry. She sympathized with his indignation over the Daily Prophet's treatment of his story and over his Quidditch ban later in the year. She even tried to help along his stormy relationship by encouraging him to talk with Cho. At the same time, however, she never let him feel sorry for himself. More direct and concise than even Hermione, Ginny didn't allow him to spend too much time moping, insisting that he would play Quidditch again, and especially pointing out how "stupid" he'd been following the Christmastime attack on her father. She showed Harry he couldn't really be blamed for what happened to Mr. Weasley, but most of all she proved to him the value of her own experience. She was the only one who could reassure him his mind was his own.
Ginny can't stand moping from anyone; she dumped Michael while he sulked about her Quidditch team beating his that spring. She knows she needs a boy who can appreciate her talents fully, not hold her ability as Gryffindor Seeker against her nor refrain from hexing her when practising at the DA. And now that she's not worrying about Harry seeing her as impressive, she's impressing everyone all the more by being herself. She almost rivals the twins in wit and boldness; she is good at voice impersonations; and she herself came up with the name Dumbledore's Army for the secret defense group. Ginny helped the twins use the Extendable Ears at Order headquarters, and much later helped Harry use Professor Umbridge's office with her story about Garroting Gas in the hall. She proved herself a formidable opponent to the Inquisitorial Squad with her Bat-Bogey Hex, and though her ankle was broken and she was threatened with the Cruciatus Curse in the Department of Mysteries, Ginny stayed in the fight as long as she could.
Ginny's fifth year proved even more momentous. She studied for her OWL exams and again fought Death Eaters, this time within Hogwarts. She also got a new pet, a Pygmy Puff called Arnold, and made it onto the Quidditch team again, this time as a Chaser. Her temporary turn as Seeker helped the team win the Quidditch Cup and won her the perfect moment to get together with Harry at last. Earlier in the year she was dating one of Harry's friends, Dean Thomas, but she seemed to find him overprotective. With Harry, she finally felt like his equal, particularly after he'd had to wait for her a little as she'd had to wait a lot. And he first kissed her without knowing she wanted him to; this risk proved the depth of his feelings for her.

Sample RP:
Looking around at the Gryffindor Common Room, Ginny wondered if she’d ever have anything to do. She sighed as she looked around and noticed that Harry, Ron and Hermione in a corner. They seemed to be discussing something serious. Umbridge maybe? She was horrible. The old toad never made them do anything except for reading spell theory. Ugh. Ginny would do anything to get out of even one of her classes.
If only there was someone who would teach them spells. Real spells. Someone who had experience with them. Someone who would go behind Umbridge’s back to teach students proper spells. A rule-breaker. Who though? Fred and George might, but they’d probably act like idiots in front of the students. Forget it. She told herself.
She got off the chair she had been sitting on and left the Common Room to go find Michael. She needed someone to hang with, and a boyfriend would work just right about now.
She walked down staircase after staircase until she got to the Ravenclaw hall. One of Michael’s friends just happened to be walking towards her. “Hey.” Ginny. Said. “Do you know where Michael is?” she asked him. Either he didn’t hear her, or he was ignoring her, because he just kept on going. “Weird.” Ginny told herself. “He’s always answering me.” She looked at the back of the guy’s head and tried to find Michael in the crowd of students
