APPEARANCE

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Bill is tall and quite slim with hair that reaches past his back. He has bright red hair like the rest of his family only unlike his family, he’s never had a haircut. It started when he was an infant and became frightened of the scissors that his mother tried to take to his head and grew into a genuine love of his long hair. He has the same bright brown eyes as his mother and sister and the same light dusting of freckles across his nose found on all of the Weasley children.
PERSONAL STYLE: Bill wears a lot of jeans and seems to own a never ending collection of band t-shirts. He’s had the same black pair of Converses for the past three years; it is unclear if it is out of loyalty to the shoes or how poor the family is and Bill never lets on. Over the summer, celebrating with a couple friends over their new found freedom at being able to practice magic, got completely pissed, and his friends convinced him that it would be a good idea to get his ear pierced. He woke up one the floor of the Burrow’s living room with his mother screaming at him; Bill probably would have let the ear heal back, but refuses now out of spite and got a fang earring that he never takes out.

PERSONALITY

LIKES: Muggle rock music from the 1960s and 1970s, Defense Against the Dark Arts, hanging out with his family, his mother’s cooking, quidditch, reading, studying, Arithmancy
DISLIKES: confrontations with his mother over his hair or fang earring, bullying, having to admit how poor his family really is, getting poor grades
DEMENTOR: When Bill was about to turn eleven years old, his father got in contact with the Brazilian Ministry to get his son a pen-pal around the same age. Their daughter, Ginevera, had just been born and Bill stepped up to be a world class big brother for the sixth time. Arthur knew he couldn’t send his son to any of the exotic places he wanted to go, but hoped a pen-pal would help.

For ages, it did help. Bill kept in contact with the Brazilian boy by the name of Estefan and they became great friends. Estefan offered Bill to come and stay with him in Brazil the summer before their first years at their respective schools. Bill begged his parents to let him go, but they had to figure out how to buy Bill’s books, diapers for Ginny, and all of their children seemed in the middle of a growth spurt that couldn’t be fixed with an exchange of hand-me-downs. The young boy had to send a letter to his friend explaining he could not go, explaining how poor his family was, and hopping his friend would understand.

Estefan did not and was apparently highly offended as he sent Bill a hat that was cursed so his ears shriveled up.
BOGGART: Something bad happening to any member of his family.
PATRONUS: At the end of his fifth year, Bill earned a total of twelve OWLs. His highest marks were for Defense Against the Dark Arts and Arithmancy, which Professor McGonagall pointed out were both necessary for becoming a curse breaker. The idea has been turning around his head ever since.
ERISED: Adventure. Bill has never really been able to leave his home because of the tight financial situation his family is in and he just know that there is a world out there that he’s missing.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Bill sounds straight-laced on paper, devoting time and energy to studying so he can go out in the world and do what he wants. The truth is that he’s actually laid back and easy going; he does study, but most of it seems to also come naturally to him. Bill has an excellent sense of humor and knows how to have fun. He is incredibly protective of his younger siblings and is very brave, often putting himself in the line of danger when one of them is being bullied.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

PARENTS: Molly (1950) and Arthur Weasley (1950)
SIBLINGS: Charlie (1972), Percy (1976), Fred (1978), George (1978), Ronald (1980), and Ginevra (1981).
OTHER FAMILY: Lucretia and Ignatius Prewett (maternal grandparents); Septimus and Cedrella Weasley (paternal grandparents); Gideon and Fabian Prewett (maternal uncles – both deceased); Billius and Charlie Weasley (paternal uncles – Billius deceased); Great Auntie Muriel (maternal aunt)
BIOGRAPHY: Arthur Weasley and Molly Prewett were in the same year and same house back in Hogwarts. There had always been an attraction between the two, but Arthur was painfully shy around Molly. Her older brothers didn’t help much as they were fiercely protective of their younger sister. Molly surprised both of them in their seventh year by taking the initiative to ask him out and since that day, the two have built a life together with seven children. While there are times where money is tight, their children are well fed and rich in love.

Bill’s first memory, though vague, is the night Uncle Gid and Uncle Faye came to babysit while he was asleep. They of course woke him up, made him an ice cream sundae bigger than him. Bill knows that there would have been several words spoken during the haze of sugar, but he doesn’t remember them. Uncle Gid and Uncle Faye probably told him what it would be like to be a brother, but Bill only remembers asking for more chocolate syrup. What Bill does remember is being lifted up and forced into the big armchair in the living room as his parents came in. He knows that his mother would have looked tired, but happy, and his father would be grinning ear to ear but he doesn’t remember that. He remembers the instructions of being very careful, that he was a big brother now and wouldn’t want to hurt Charlie but would want to look after him. His mother put his brother in his arms, introducing them as Bill tried to figure out a comfortable way to hold the baby.

That happened four more times, though figuring out how to hold the twins at the same time was probably the most memorable one. Each new addition to the family, Bill stayed the big brother. He took the title seriously, looking after the group when they just got too unruly for his parents. Bill became a liaison of sorts between the children and parents; if Fred or George broke something, they would ask Bill to make it better. When his mother went into labor with Fred and George, Ron, and Ginny, Bill looked after the other kids instead of Uncle Gid and Faye. When their uncles died, Bill was the one that offered comfort to the smaller children, understanding the concept of death better than they did and, though their parents tried to offer the same comfort, the children sought Bill’s company.

His life before Hogwarts was happy and with a loving home. His mother was home every day and his father came home as early as he could while the war continued. Bill dotes on Ginny the most, the first girl born to the Weasley family in generations. She was only a year old when he went to Hogwarts, so he tries to build a relationship that would have come naturally if he was still at home. At Hogwarts, Bill has thrived; he is well liked by teachers and students and received all twelve O.W.L.s in his fifth year. Bill loves that Charlie and Percy are now at Hogwarts with him and he makes sure the two younger boys fit in well at school.
