Name: Ron Weasley
Age: 16
House: Gryffindor
Allegiance: (D.A. Member, Death Eater or just put Professor) DA member
Personality: (Use details, at least one paragraph) Ron was sorted into Gryffindor mainly for his loyalty; even though he is often afraid, he overcomes it at crucial points and goes to any lengths to help his friends. He's extremely stubborn and quick to anger, and usually doesn't think before he speaks. Or, think at all, when it comes down to it. He's sometimes shy around girls, and never really knows what to say around them. He's not particularly smart, knowing just enough to get by, but that never really bothered him. After all, why else would he have Hermione?

Rowling first introduces Ron with his family in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1997). Harry is lost at King's Cross railway station with no instructions as to how to board the train to take him to his wizarding school, Hogwarts. The only lead he has is that it departs from "Platform 9¾," which he cannot find. Luckily, he overhears a family, the Weasleys, mention the word "Muggle,", which is the wizarding term for a non-magic person. Harry seeks their help and they guide him through the barrier of Platform 9¾ into the wizarding world. Ron and Harry share a compartment on the Hogwarts Express, and they begin their friendship: Ron fascinated with the famous Harry, and Harry fascinated with the ordinary Ron. It is here that they both meet Hermione Granger as well.[1] Ron and Harry share the same classes throughout the series, and generally have similar academic successes and disappointments. Ron plays a vital part in the quest to save the Philosopher's stone. His strategy at Wizard's Chess allows Hermione and Harry to proceed safely through a dangerous life-size, animated chess game. During the game, Ron, who plays as a knight, allows his piece to be sacrificed and is subsequently knocked unconscious when he is captured by the opposing queen. His friends proceed on to save the Stone.[2] At the Leaving Feast, the last dinner of the school year, Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts' Headmaster, awards Ron fifty House points to Gryffindor for "the best-played game of chess Hogwarts has seen in many years." These last-minute points help support Gryffindor's win of the House Cup.[3]
The second installment, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (1998), takes place the year following the events of the Philosopher's Stone.
During the summer, Ron attempts to write to Harry several times. He receives no reply because Dobby the house elf is stopping Harry's wizard mail. Ron becomes so concerned that he convinces his brothers Fred and George to fly their father's enchanted Ford Anglia car to Harry's home at his aunt and uncle's house.[4] Harry spends the next month at the Weasleys' home, the Burrow. While attempting to depart from King's Cross station, Harry and Ron find themselves unable to enter the barrier to access Platform 9¾, because Dobby has sealed it off to prevent Harry from going to Hogwarts. With Harry, Ron conceives the idea of taking the flying Ford Anglia to Hogwarts. The plan is successful, but the Anglia loses power at the end of the journey and crashes into the Whomping Willow. Ron and Harry survive the impact, but the car drives itself off into the Forbidden Forest, a forest at the edge of the Hogwarts grounds in which student access is prohibited. Ron receives a Howler from his mother, chastising him for taking the car.
Later in the novel, Ron, Harry, and Hermione discover that the "Chamber of Secrets" has been opened by the Heir of Slytherin, and the dangerous Basilisk released. Suspecting their old enemy Draco Malfoy, Ron and Harry transform themselves using Polyjuice Potion to resemble Malfoy's close associates Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, so that they can spy on him, though they learn he knows nothing of the Chamber.[5] During the hunt to find the Heir of Slytherin, Rowling introduces Tom Marvolo Riddle when Harry discovers the name on Riddle's diary. Ron is responsible for providing the first clue to his identity, recalling that he saw the name "T. M. Riddle" on a trophy inscribed "For Special Services To The School".[6] Able to interact with Riddle through this diary even though he lived fifty years prior to the action of the story, Harry tells Ron and Hermione that their friend and Hogwarts gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid must be the Heir to Slytherin. When Hermione is petrified by the Basilisk, the monstrous creature inhabiting the Chamber, Ron and Harry must work together without her. Ron is forced to come face-to-face with his biggest fear, spiders, in the Forbidden Forest, when the two learn that Hagrid is not the Heir of Slytherin. An Acromantula (giant spider) Aragog, nearly eats the two of them, but the Ford Anglia returns from the Forbidden Forest and rescues the pair. [7] Ron and Harry then discover the entrance into the Chamber, and enter it in the hopes of saving Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister, who had been kidnapped and kept in the Chamber. Due to an accident with Ron's wand, the Chamber's ceiling collapses, trapping Ron on one side and Harry on the other. Harry goes on to rescue Ginny and defeat the "memory of" Tom Riddle, a younger version of Harry's nemesis Lord Voldemort. Ron and Harry are rewarded Special Awards for Services to the School because of their help finding the Chamber of Secrets.[8]
[edit] Middle three books
Rupert Grint as Ronald Weasley.In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (1999), Ron's role is minor compared to his in Chamber of Secrets, and Hermione's role, which was more sidelined in Chamber of Secrets, is larger. However, Ron's rat, Scabbers, whom Rowling introduced in Philosopher's Stone, goes missing; he blames Hermione's new cat Crookshanks, and the two have a falling out.[9] They eventually make up when Hermione has a nervous breakdown from taking too many classes. Meanwhile, Buckbeak, a hippogriff owned by Hagrid, has been put on trial for allegedly injuring Draco Malfoy, though in reality Malfoy feigned his pain as a result of his family's hatred for half-breeds like Hagrid, who is half-giant. As compensation, Ron offers to help with the preparation of Buckbeak's defence for Hagrid. Harry, Ron and Hermione go to see Hagrid on the execution day where they discover Scabbers hiding out in Hagrid's hut.[10] As they leave, Scabbers bites Ron and runs away. He chases Scabbers to the Whomping Willow where he is grabbed by a large black dog and dragged into a tunnel hidden below the tree.[11]
Harry and Hermione follow the tunnel, which leads to the Shrieking Shack. The dog is actually the animal form, or Animagus, of Sirius Black, Harry's godfather and an escaped convict from the wizarding prison Azkaban. Throughout the book, Harry has vowed to kill Black for supposedly turning Harry's parents, James and Lily Potter, over to Voldemort. The school's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Remus Lupin arrives just after Harry and Hermione. Along with Black, Lupin casts a spell on Scabbers, who also turns out to be an Animagus by the name of Peter Pettigrew. Pettigrew was Black, Lupin, and James Potter's school friend, thought to have been murdered by Black.[11] Hiding his death by transforming into a rat, Pettigrew reveals nothing, but Sirius and Lupin piece together that he has been a servant of Voldemort, and it was he who divulged the secret whereabouts of Harry's parents, leading to their murder. Initially, Ron does not believe Sirius and refuses to turn over Scabbers to him, but he is disgusted when he learns his rat's true identity. Unfortunately, Scabbers escapes when the main characters lead him out of the Whomping Willow for execution.[12] Ron, injured by the bite Black gave him as a dog, is taken to the hospital wing, and is not part of the adventure Harry and Hermione have as they travel back in time to save Sirius and Buckbeak.[13] At the end of the novel, Sirius sends Ron an excitable little owl whom Ginny names Pigwidgeon, but whom Ron refers to as "Pig".[14]
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2000), the Weasleys invite Harry and Hermione to the Quidditch World Cup. Ron is in awe at his favourite Quidditch player, the famous Viktor Krum.[15] Ron is even more excited when Krum, still a student at the Durmstrang wizarding school, comes to Hogwarts to take part in the Triwizard Tournament, a magical wizarding tournament uniting the top three magic schools in Europe.[16] When an underage Harry is mysteriously chosen as a Tournament champion, Ron and Harry have a falling out and don't speak for nearly a month.[17] Ron believes Harry somehow cheated to enter his name into the tournament without telling him. Whenever they do speak, it is usually to insult or threaten one other. Ron and Harry reconcile shortly after Harry successfully gets by a fire-breathing dragon in the first task; Ron realises how dangerous the Tournament is and believes that Harry didn't enter himself.[18] At Christmastime, the Triwizard Tournament's tradition is to host a Yule Ball. Ron becomes overcome with jealousy when he sees Hermione, unexpectedly attractive, having the time of her life with Krum. When an overjoyed Hermione comes over to Ron and Harry for a friendly chat, Ron loses control and accuses her of "fraternising with the enemy", shocking and appalling her. At evening's end, the two have a heated row.[19] Ron's jealousy over Krum is countered by Hermione's dislike of Fleur Delacour (of the Beauxbatons Academy and a Triwizard competitor), on whom Ron has an obvious crush.[20] Rowling believes that this Ron–Hermione quarrell is some of the beginning signs of their eventual relationship at the end of the series.[21] In the Second Task of the Tournament, Ron is the person selected for Harry to rescue from the depths of the Hogwarts lake, as he is the one whom Harry would most miss. Harry successfully saves him, on top of saving Fleur's captive for her and staying to make sure the other two captives are freed as well.[22]
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2003), Ron is appointed a Gryffindor prefect, much to the surprise of himself and everyone else, especially Hermione, the other new prefect.[23] His brother, Percy, now distant and disconnected from the family, sends Ron an owl congratulating him and advising him to "sever ties" with Harry and side himself instead with Professor Umbridge, the abominable new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts; the letter angers Ron.[24] Ron explicitly shows his support and loyalty for Harry when his classmates imply Harry is lying about the return of Voldemort, sometimes using his power as prefect to threaten them into silence.[25] Though they spend their usual amount of time bickering, Ron and Hermione present a united front endorsing Harry. Ron supports Hermione's suggestion of Harry teaching students practical Defence Against the Dark Arts, which Umbridge, using the Ministry of Magic to slowly take over the Dumbledore-run school, has all but banned. He helps to found the secret students' group called Dumbledore's Army.[25] At the climax of the novel, Ron battles the Death Eaters alongside Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom at the Department of Mysteries. He is injured in the fight, but makes a full recovery by the end of the novel.
[edit] Final two books
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005), Ron receives fair grades on his O.W.L. examinations. He passes seven subjects and only fails History of Magic and Divination, but he receives no top scores of "Outstanding" like Harry or Hermione.[26] Ron, who has grown taller over the summer, attracts the attention of Lavender Brown. Harry, the new Quidditch Captain, picks Ron as Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, over Cormac McLaggen, who is supposedly as good as Ron, but has difficulty with teamwork and following orders.[27] Upon learning Hermione most likely had kissed Viktor Krum, Ron's Quidditch performance increasingly grows worse, thrown off by jealousy of his former idol and causing him to be unkind to Hermione. To bolster Ron's confidence, Harry pretends to give him Felix Felicis, the "luck potion." Believing he has actually taken it, Ron performs admirably and Gryffindor wins the Quidditch match. However, Hermione and Ron have a falling-out when Hermione accuses Harry of helping Ron cheat. When Harry reveals the truth, Ron berates Hermione for having no trust in his abilities. At the celebration, Ron kisses Lavender Brown, but is described by Ginny as 'eating her face'. This act makes Hermione jealous, and, in retaliation, she invites Cormac McLaggen as her date to new potions professor Horace Slughorn's Christmas party, but he proves to be an egomaniac.[28] After Christmas, Hermione continues to ignore Ron, stopping only to give him disdainful looks and occasional snide remarks. By now, Ron is visibly discontent with his relationship with Lavender.[29]
On his birthday in March, Ron accidentally drinks poisoned mead in Professor Slughorn's office when there to receive an antidote for a love potion-infused Chocolate Cauldrons (courtesy Romilda Vane) he accidentally ate. Harry quickly saves his life by forcing a bezoar, a poison antidote, into his mouth, and Ron is transferred to the hospital wing. A panic-stricken Hermione arrives, forgetting her past anger. While sitting by his bed, Hermione, Harry, Ginny and the twins hear Ron mutter Hermione's name while half-unconscious. Harry notices that Ron feigns sleep when Lavender visits him. Upon recovering, Ron and Hermione reconcile.[30] A little while later, Ron and Lavender break up, much to Hermione's joy.[31]
Initially, Ron does not support Harry's belief that Draco Malfoy is a Death Eater, a follower of Voldemort, but later is convinced. Before leaving Hogwarts with Dumbledore to recover a Horcrux, a piece of Voldemort's soul stored in an object, which makes him immortal, Harry arranges for Ron, Hermione, and Ginny - together with any of Dumbledore's Army they can summon - to keep a close watch on Malfoy and Snape. Harry also provides them with his Felix Felicis, to aid them in the effort.[32] Despite the D.A.'s watch, Malfoy provides the Death Eaters entrance into Hogwarts, and a battle ensues. Thanks to the luck potion's protection, Ron, Hermione and Ginny are unharmed by the Death Eater's hexes during the battle.[33] Snape kills Dumbledore during the battle when Malfoy proves that he is unable to.[34] During his funeral, Ron comforts a weeping Hermione. Ron and Hermione vow to help Harry find and destroy the Horcruxes and kill Voldemort, even if it means leaving Hogwarts.[35] With these parting remarks, Rowling leaves the door open for Ron's future in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

RP Sample: (At least 2 paragraphs and can be from another site, just give the link)
Ron walked along the shore of the island, kicking at the sand bitterly. How could the portkey have just flown away like that? Why did they have to be stuck on this island? And, perhaps most importantly, how did he manage to get stuck in a room with Hermione Granger? Not that he wasn't secretly pleased, of course... But, really, there was only so much he could take.
Maybe it was fate that stuck him here with the few others. Who knows? Did it really matter anyway? His mind swimming with thoughts, he sat down and buried his toes underneath the sand, letting his feet bask in the warmth of it. So lost in his rhetorical thoughts, he didn't notice the footsteps coming ever closer from behind him.
