Percy Weasley

Appearance
Percy is twenty years old, 6'1, skinny as a reed, and, like all Weasleys, has a full head of embarrassingly red hair. He has blue eyes that are basically useless without the wire-rimmed glasses he's never seen without, and he always dresses very nicely, preferring sweaters, button-up shirts, and carefully tailored jeans or slacks to more casual clothes.

Personality
Percy's main personality traits are his drive, his ambition, and his complete respect for rules and authority. An incredibly hard worker, he is willing to put his work and ambition before just about anything, including his family. He tries to be dignified and important-seeming, but much to his annoyance, most people interpret it as pompous or arrogant. Despite his bearing, he is still a young man whose social development was rather stunted by his own drive and his siblings' teasing, so he does have his awkward moments and tends to flush easily when frustrated, angry, or embarrassed. His defenses are a mile high and a foot thick, so any attempt at teasing - or what he interprets as teasing - will usually be met with either cold silence or a sharp, sarcastic retort. His drive comes from a deep-seated feeling of not being good enough - coming to Hogwarts after Head Boy Bill and Quidditch Captain Charlie placed a lot of very high expectations on Percy, and he feels he has to work twice as hard as everyone else in order to prove himself worthy. He does have a rather dry sense of humor that he doesn't show very often, except around people he feels comfortable with.

Percy's relationship with his sexuality can be summed up in one word: awkward. His experience is rather limited to kisses and the occasional under-the-shirt, over-the-bra touches with his ex-girlfriend, and late-night, desperate fantasies about his former roommate. He is gay, but so far in the closet he's having tea with Mr. Tumnus, and forces down any inappropriate thoughts about other men very quickly. Percy does value monogamy, and thinks sex is something that should be done within the confines of a relationship that is, preferably, headed towards marriage.
