Bill) SEXUALITY: Heterosexual SIGNIFICANT OTHER: n/a CHILDREN: n/a Appearance OVERVIEW: Height | 5 feet 10 inches Weight | 179 lbs Hair | Weasley red Eyes | Brown Fred and George are identical twins, though Fred is happy to point out that he is slightly taller than George. Like all Weasleys, he had flaming red hair and a mess of freckles. He was tall but stockier and athletic, owing a lot to his position as a Beater on the Quidditch team. Where George is unique or eccentric, one might call Fred eclectic. He likes bright colors and fun clothes. But like George he also is fond of wearing the sweaters given by Molly every Christmas, his usual favorite being the green one with the bright red 'F' on it. He likes to be comfortable and more often than not has trouble keeping a shirt tails tucked in evenly and just leaves them as is rather than be bothered by it. Despite being quite the jokester, Fred is very well spoken, and has no problem speaking in from of people or crowds, and he can also clean up very nicely when the occasion does call for it. He likes the reaction when people see him and are surprised because he makes it look good. Personality DETAILED PERSONALITY: He is the more outgoing, daring, and sarcastic of the twins. He thinks Muggle tricks and gadgets are important to know, like lock picking and practical scheming. It was his idea to try and get he and George in the Triwizard tournament and over the Age Line. Plus he was also in favor of blackmailing people when they defaulted on bets rather than other means of dealing them. Fred more often than not was the ringleader in pranks and most of their "questionable" activities. He is also the more crueler in his humour or in dealing with those he dislikes or he perceives as wronging him, George or their family. He could be petty and callous at times and no compunction about those who suffered the other end of their pranks either. Percy was a particular favourite; but he did feel empathy for those who were unintended victims or who were accidentally affected. Despite his attitude toward his older brother, he was the first one to forgive and welcomed Percy back into the family. Just like George, Fred is well known for his sense of humour and loving to make people laugh and relax in tense times. He would often say the most inappropriate thing but if people laughed at it, it was all worth it. School wasn't the most important thing to him. He had no grand plans for the future but did like to learn. He was an exceedingly talented wizard, just as George is. They were both highly ingenuous with inventions, equally adept at coming up with new and mind-boggling gadgets and pranks. Surprisingly, Fred and George are very good business men, and the prank shop they run is doing very very well. Like most Weasleys, they are very much and stubbornly loyal to their loved ones and close friends, and they are also very brave too. They could be said to epitomize the Gryffindor type to a tee. Fred takes great pride is standing up for what he believes in against what he thinks is wrong, like Umbridge or the Death Eaters. History Childhood | Despite their lack of wealth, Fred had a very rich childhood. Sure, they might not have had the newest toys, but they were never lacking in love and family. Even before the addition of the youngest two Weasley's the Burrow was always full of life and the twins certainly helped that along, bringing a smile even when you wanted to hex them silly. It was clear from the get go that they had their father's love of tinkering and their mother's fierceness, for nothing could prevent them from a goal. Once their minds were set, it was best just to get out of their way. The twins never had much problem with Bill or Charlie. In fact, they looked up to them like all little brothers did. Still to this day, Fred and George both have a great respect for both of the older Weasley boys. Percy, however, was not as fortunate. The twins seemed to have it out for him the moment they could walk. Poor Percy didn't know what he was in for. The twins hid his stuff, woke him up bright and early, and teased him mercilessly. Molly was forever chasing them off. Like the boys before them, it didn't take long before they were levitating garden gnomes and changing their Mother's hair colour. A Weasley son, it seemed, would not be denied magic. If it wasn't for the decree of underage wizardry, Fred and George would have made the Weasley household a lot more colourful prior to their years at Hogwarts. When the letters finally came, it was both a relief to the poor parents and a bit of a concern. Frequent letters home, they were sure to receive. The twins were nothing like the Weasley's that came before them. Hogwarts | As one can image, Fred and George took to Hogwarts like a moth to the flame. Of course, in most cases the boys were the flame and poor Hogwarts the moth. Here was an entirely new and decidedly larger environment for them to play in. There little pranks from home were no longer big enough. With all of Hogwarts before them, they needed something bigger and better. Unfortunately for Professor McGonagall, she would learn first hand the sort of brilliance the Weasley twins exuded. The two mastered charms and transfiguration spells with ease ... cleaning up the mess of said charms and spells, however, was not quite so easy. Immediately upon their arrival the twins seemed to take the castle in hand. Nothing was kept hidden for long and their knack for finding hidden passages came into play in the very first week they were there. The passage behind the statue of Gregory the Smarmy was a favourite of theirs long before they swiped the Maurader's Map from Filch's office at the beginning of their second year. The two would treasure the key to their success until they passed it on to Harry Potter in 1993. Both were sad to see it go, but by that point they had already memorized all the hidden passageways. Even without the map in hand, the twins didn't slow in their shenanigans. With the arrival of the Triwizard tournament to Hogwarts, the two redirected their pranks and jokes to finding a way to cross the age line that Dumbledore himself had erected around the goblet. Thinking that simple was the best means to counteract such a strong spell, the twins took an aging potion in order to hope the line. For once, however, it seemed that the joke was on them as when they crossed, the Spell had their hair growing until they had long white beards and hair to match. Wherever he'd been at the castle at that point, Dumbledore was sure to have been chuckling. Of course, as the triwizard tournament came to a sorrowful end, things around the castle started to darken as rumors of Voldemort and danger started to spread, leaving the ministry to foolishly deny the possibility. With the Order of the Phoenix returning to full strength Fred and George were stuck outside of the action, not old enough to join the order but not interested in sitting on the side lines. Listening in on these conversations fed inspiration to them in the process of developing their horribly popular extendable ears. Though not even their success with inventions could make up for the coming year. There weren't many people that the twins honestly hated, but Dolorus Umbridge refused to be kept off that list. Her ridiculous rules and assumed power within the school only further justified the twins decision to hop onto the DA train. A reason to stick it to Umbridge and outwit the thick Slytherins. Why, thank you! Not that they really needed a reason. They'd done well enough on their known prior to that. Still, they certainly weren't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. As the year continued on, however, things simply grew worse and worse. The discovery of the DA and the subsequent lines written into their flesh was the point where the twins decided enough was enough. Fred in particular, was left with furious thoughts of vengeance and protection of the younger ones, and all the innocent. They'd always said that their time was wasted in school and this simply proved it. With Dolorus Umbridge taking over the school, Hogwarts had nothing left to teach them ... but the twins had a few things to teach Dolorus Umbridge. During one of the exams, the twins lite the fuse of chaos, setting off fireworks off in classrooms and hallways and even creating an entire swap within the castle ... all of which Dolorus had no idea of undoing. With no help from the other Professors, she was left to deal with it on their own. In a blaze of glory (the twins words!) they left their Hogwarts careers behind them and looked on toward the future. At that point, the future for them was still bright and sunny. Post-Hogwarts | Upon leaving Hogwarts the twins invested the money Harry had given them into the building of Weasley Wizard Wheezes. In no time at all they were open for business with more products than anyone could really believe. Sure, they had heard bangs and booms from the Twins' room for years, but no one thought that they'd been up to anything serious. The arrival and subsequent success of their shop proved everyone wrong. Even as shops around them were attacked and closed down, Fred and George kept their's open and running, completely believing that people needed a smile more than ever. As the war grew heated, the twins found themselves being pulled in various directions. The shop stayed open right up until the days of the final battle, they had active assignments from the Order, and they involved themselves in Lee's radio program as well. Anything that needed to be done, the twins volunteered to do. Their shield charms sold like crazy and it was all but impossible to keep up with demand, but somehow they managed it all with smiles on their faces. Fred grew more protective of George when his ear was curses off even as George approached it all with his usual joking and humour. When the final battle arrived Fred and George were some of the first to arrive. Not only did they still have siblings within the school, but Hogwarts had been a good home to them for almost seven years. They weren't about to abandon it to some Death Eater scum now. Throughout the battle, Fred and George remained side by side. As long as they were together, nothing could touch them. Though this belief was shaken to it's core when Fred was severely injured as the wall they'd been standing near had exploded inward. Fred doesn't remember much of it but it was a good while afterwards that he took to recover. Luckily George wasn't hurt, though neither knew how that happened. He knows George feels guilty for not getting hurt but Fred recovered just fine and constantly reassured his twin that he was fine and had nothing to be sorry about now. The incident only forged a stronger bond between them. Once the dust had settled and the Wizarding World started to pick themselves up, Fred and George returned to their shop. If the World needed anything, it was a reminder that they were still alive and had the chance to live their lives to the fullest with all the humor they could manage to squeeze in. Misc.
