| Bio: |  "This is magic reaching us from the moon." Name: Luna Ariel Birthday: 27 January, 1981 House: Ravenclaw Year: 4th year Heritage: Half-blood Pet: No actual pets of her own Wand: Teak and Unicorn hair, 11 1/4 inches, supple Physical Appearance: Luna has the androgynous, petite figure of a ballerina. She is very thin, with an ethereal, not-quite human air about her. One is immediately drawn to her enormous, gray-blue eyes that bulge and don’t close half the time. Her eyebrows are translucent and almost non-existent, blending in with her fair skin. In contrast, her hair is dirty blonde and rather lengthy. It is made up of stringy curls. She tops this off with flamboyant, mismatched clothing, quirky jewellery she makes herself, and her wand tucked behind her ear. Biography: The Lovegood household was a happy one, if not rather strange. Otto and Lexine (née McLean) had a passion for all things extraordinary, from magical experiments to the unexplained. They were fun-loving people who delighted in telling stories and inventing games with their only child. Luna’s formative years in Devon were quite pleasant and enjoyable. That is, until one day when she was nine. Luna had been having a lovely dream about faeries. To her dismay, her mother woke her up and told her to go down to breakfast. They argued a bit. Luna finally went to eat, wishing her mother had left her alone to dream in peace. That afternoon, Mrs Lovegood was busy working on experimental charms in the family kitchen. Luna intended to pester her as a sort of revenge. But before she had even gone inside the room, there was a great explosion. Her mother was terribly maimed and died instantly as Luna watched from the doorway. The traumatized girl was convinced it was her fault. Any mean bone in her body vanished right then. That's why Luna is such a doormat, because she's afraid that being angry at people might cause them to die. Though she remains deeply devoted to her late mother, Luna and her father are very close. They share a passion for protoscience, esotericism, parapsychology, conspiracy theories, and magical cryptozoology. Their free time is devoted to research in said fields. Mr Lovegood is often busy running his subversive, yet off-the-wall newsletter, the Quibbler. Reading it is a way to feel closer to him, especially when she’s away at school. She has a great respect for her father’s work and takes offence to any criticism of it. At Hogwarts, Luna felt like a fish out of water. Her odd beliefs and quixotic temperament put off her peers, as well as some professors. She was constantly teased and ridiculed. Some kids went as far as to steal her belongings. It didn’t help matters that she had no concept of others' personal space, social mores, or appropriate lines of discussion. People soon took to calling her, “Loony Lovegood.” It hurt her feelings, but she accepted it. The memory of her mother’s fate kept Luna’s anger in check. In time, she came to accept that she might be ‘crazy,’ but that it is better to be crazy than to be untrue to oneself. In her fourth year, she at last made some friends. Or at least the closest thing to friends that she’d ever had. Harry Potter and his circle sat in her compartment and dared to talk to her. She was so desperate for companionship that she tolerated, and even feigned approval of, their often-rude behaviour (with the exception of opinions that contradict her father). Luna grew to empathise with Harry because so few believed him about Voldemort’s return. When he formed the DA, she felt like there was finally a group where she belonged. Though the club was obsolete in her next term, she tried her best stay on good terms with the other members. She decided to fight against Voldemort because she abhors the idea of people making others suffer. With that in mind, Luna hopes that the Death Eaters will see the error of their ways and change for the better. Her greatest passion in life is the pursuit of a “secret wisdom.” She can’t shake the feeling there is some unseen truth in the world and that if she only looks close enough, she can find it. This is another driving force behind her love of the Quibbler. Likes: People in general, faeries, daydreaming, the Quibbler, thinking, the unusual pattern of Ron Weasely’s freckles, and being there for those in need. Dislikes: Being picked on, rigid philosophies, the mundane world, the Ministry of Magic, judgmental attitudes, sceptics, and hearing people disagree with her father. Extracurricular Activities: In her fourth year, Luna was active in the DA. She also stepped in as a school Quidditch commentator the following term.
