Name: Ginevra Weasley (Ginny)
Age: 13
Birthday: August 11, 1981
Year: Third
House: Gryffindor
Bloodline: Pure-Blood
Pet: None
Appearance: Like the entire Weasley family she has vivid, flaming red hair, and bright brown eyes. She built small but strong.
Personality: She talkative and comfortable around her brothers and family but when she sees Harry she falls unbelievably quiet. Ginny is proof of how powerful someone can be even without physical stature. She's also proof of how much more you can accomplish when you don't have a hopeless crush on anybody.
Family: Youngest child of Molly and Arthur Weasley and their only daughter. She has six older brothers: Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George and Ron. She is the only girl to be born in the Weasley clan for several centuries.
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.
In her first year of Hogwarts Ginny found a Diary along with her text books and little did Ginny know, it once belonged to a boy named Tom Riddle. Riddle was the early incarnation of Lord Voldemort himself. His diary had been slipped into her books by 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, the ghost, revolted against the book in pipes, though, and flooded the toilet so the diary was found-by Harry himself. As soon as Ginny realised he had it, she rummaged through his room to take it back. It wasn't long before Riddle tried to get rid of her, then, 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 so wanted to prove herself to him.
For the next couple 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.
Habits: Getting nervous and being silent around Harry.
Goals: To give up on liking Harry and move on.
Likes: When her brothers get in trouble for something they did to her.
Dislikes: Being made fun of by her brothers, and The Malfoys.
