Appearance: Lupin is actually quite tall for a British man but has a very thin frame. Because of his little furry problem, Remus almost always looks very tired and tattered. He doesn't waste time wearing good clothes that are just going to get ruined anyway so he's often in loose clothing that always looks worn and tattered. Though his eyes are just the opposite, bright and lively and Remus is quick to smile when amongst friends.
History: Remus was born to Hope and Lyall Lupin. His father worked for the Ministry and ran into a werewolf named Fenrir Greyback. Lyall stated that he deserved death so Greyback got revenge by making Remus a werewolf right before he turned five while the boy was sleeping.
At age eleven, Remus recieved his Hogwarts letter thanks to Albus Dumbledore making special accommodations after a discussion with Lyall and Hope. It was at Hogwarts that Remus met fellow Gryffindors; James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. In order to keep his friends, Remus kept his condition a secret for the safety of everyone.
Though his friends figured it out and stayed loyal to the point of learning to become Animagus to be with him.
On their fifth year, they were all successful. They started joining him at the Whomping Willow which lead to the Shrieking Shack. At this time the boys started calling themselves the Marauders and gave each other nicknames. They also made a map that showed where everyone was and secret passageways in and out of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.
Though Remus was careful, the Marauders started getting reckless which caused a suspicious Severus Snape to find out what Remus was. He was a Slytherin in the same year that hated James and Sirius because of the pranks the two made on him.
Remus was also made prefect. In the next few years, he graduated Hogwarts along with his friends.
Very soon after graduation, Remus and his friends joined the Order of the Phoenix to help stop Voldemort and his Death Eaters. During this time James married Lily Evans and the two had a son named Harry Potter. Remus was unaware of them being kept safe because of a prophecy about Harry as he was sent on a mission from the Order up north. He was extremely traumatized when he found out about James' and Lily's deaths. Then even more so when Sirius killed Peter and dozens of others. Sirius was sent to Azkaban and Remus lost three of his best friends in a matter of days.
Life for Remus aftet the Order was difficult. He often worked poorly paying jobs so that he could easily leave them if they started to figure out his condition.
Then Albus Dumbledore found him and asked Remus to become the next Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher. He gratefully accepted. This also happened to be the time when Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban. He started teaching and found out that he had quite a knack for it. Professor Snape was able to provide Remus with the Wolfsbane Potion durng the school year. He also gave Harry Potter private lessons on how to produce a Patronus to ward off Dementors. Towards the end, Remus figured out that Peter was actually still alive and that Srius wasn't after Harry Potter at all but he was really after Peter for being the one to betray Lily and James. He found out the truth thanks to Harry and his friends having the old map that the Marauders made years ago. He met with Sirius in secret to devise a plan to kill Peter. They were stopped by Harry, Hermione, and Ron though. In the chaos of the situation, Remus forgot to take his potion so he transformed into his werewolf form not in his right mind. He ended up trying to attack Harry and Hermione but was run off by Buckbeak.
After that night, Remus resigned and left Hogwarts. He ended up staying with Sirius in Gimmauld Place. A year later, Voldemort returned and the Order was reinstated. It was here that he met Nymphadora Tonks. Throughout the next year, the two were sent on many missiins together and developed a strong friendship that could easily be much more but currently, Remus is scared of what kind of life that would lead to.
Personality: Remus is ironically very much like the wolves he hates. He is very kind and nurturing in nature. He also is fiercely protective of those that he loves. Though he is very courageous, Remus is terrified of all things that remind him of his furry problem. This includes the fact that his Patronus is a wolf and his boggart form is a full moon.
He is extremely talented in Defense Against the Dark Arts and various spells, including Charms and duelling. He suffers greatly in Potion making which is highly unfortunate because he cannot make his own Wolfsbane Potion.
