| Bio: | IN PROGRESS
History: The Weasley family, with the possible exception of the Blacks, is the most well documented in canon. In direct contrast to the Blacks with their motto 'tojours pur' the Weasleys are 'the biggest family of blood traitors around.' Despite Mr Weasley's position in the ministry, they are poor (a poverty that could have been at least partly avoided by having less children!), and must scrimp, save, and 'manage' to get by. However in other respects they seem to be (at least in JKR's mind) something of an 'ideal' family. What they lack in money they make up for in love and, of course, Gryffindor bravery. It is in this environment that the twins grew up, and both of these traits shine through in spite of any negative qualities. With over-achieving elder brothers, the twins carved out their own niche in the family (to their mother's frustration). Their mischieviousness and creativity was not unprecedented, however - take for example, Arthur's 'tinkering' with muggle objects, such as the flying car. The twins' main talents (at least those they exhibited) were for trouble, invention, and making people laugh, and their hobbies Quidditch, practical jokes, designing products, and annoying people they dislike. Clearly a sharp (ingenius) mind, George never really put much effort into studying and hence gained only three OWLs. His time at Hogwarts was not wasted, however. He and Fred conducted invaluable market research during their NEWTs years before their dramatic departure in their seventh year at Hogwarts. Personality: George vs. Fred - although these terms are perhaps relative (no pun intended) when it came to the twins, George was the softer, the kinder, the quieter. He was generally the one reflecting on what they are doing, restraining impetuosity and the worst of their blinkered cruelty. Both twins, however, could be casually unkind, prejudiced, stubborn and thoughtless, although they were also steadfastly loyal, principled, brave, witty, intelligent, creative and well-intentioned. With Fred gone, George has had to stop defining himself in opposition to his twin. In a strange way, he has become more of a generic Weasley-twin now that he is no longer a twin. Although grief at first made him quieter than he had been before, in time, the missing of Fred made him louder as he sought to fill the shoes his brother, best friend, and partner in crime had vacated. More or less, though, he is still George. Mischievous, impetuous, idealistic and determined. George is a natural practical joker, a good friend, a terrible student, a fair employer, and a formidable enemy. | ||||||||||
