Character History: (You may copy your character's history off of Wikipedia, just make sure to credit them.
If you type your character's name into google it's one of the first links that come up.) The Lovegoods (Luna's family) are first mentioned in the Goblet of Fire when they used the portkey to get to the Quidditch World Cup. Luna is first introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when she is joined in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express by Harry, Ginny Weasley, and Neville Longbottom. In her description of Luna, Ginny mentions that they are in the same year, making Luna's birth year 1981,[4] and that she is in Ravenclaw, a House that prizes intelligence. Luna is described as having straggly, waist-length dirty-blond hair and a dazed look on her face. Her eyes are "silvery" and "misty", as well as "protuberant".
Luna's father is the editor of The Quibbler, a magazine that, according to Luna, publishes, "important stories he thinks the public needs to know." The stories are often untrue and silly. Harry Potter briefly considers that it may be a spoof magazine, until he learns that Luna believes them, causing others to consider her odd. Luna defends her beliefs, her father, and his magazine against others' insults, most notably Hermione Granger. These are the only instances where she snaps out of her customary "dreamy phase."
Her unusual affectations somewhat isolates her from other Hogwarts students, although she appears to care little about what others think. She is aware of, but seems unperturbed by, many calling her "Loony" Lovegood or that classmates regularly steal and hide her possession to amuse themselves. When she offhandedly tells Harry Potter this, she unintentionally wins his sympathy. He becomes angry when Luna's belongings are stolen and offers to help find them, but she declines, saying everything always turns up in the end. Luna believes Harry's story about his escape from Lord Voldemort and defends it in front of doubting students.
During Luna's fourth year, she joins Dumbledore's Army (The D.A.), in which Harry notices initially that her performance is uneven. Harry leads her, Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Neville into the Department of Mysteries, where they are ambushed by Death Eaters. She shows her true skill during a running battle there - she is the only one besides Harry to remain uninjured until she is eventually knocked unconscious when she was flung across the room and slammed into a desk.
In the film version, Luna produces a hare Patronus during a D.A. meeting. It is unknown if this is the Patronus JK intended for her to have, however it fits with her moon theme. In Japanese and Korean folklore a rabbit is often depicted in the moon. Also in the film, Luna is shown to have an attraction to pudding. Lastly, she often skips rather than walk, highlighting her flighty, free-spirited nature.
In her fifth year, Harry invites Luna to Professor Slughorn's Christmas party. For Slughorn's party, Harry notes that Luna looks quite nice in spangled silver dress robes and is relieved that she opted not to wear her trademark radish earrings or butterbeer cork necklace.[5] During the party, she says that when she was at the D.A. meetings, she thought it was, "like having friends." Harry's preference that Luna leave her favoured jewelery behind, along with his reactions to her honesty, indicates that he is still a bit uncomfortable with aspects of her personality (though this vanishes by the end of the book). At the party, Luna mentions a few of her outrageous beliefs in conversation with others, causing both shock and amusement.
During the same year, Professor McGonagall appoints Luna as the Hogwarts Quidditch announcer. However, she absent-mindedly gets distracted from the game and begins discussing unrelated topics with the crowd, such as the oddly shaped clouds above the pitch, that Ginny Weasley is nice, and how Zacharias Smith's inability to keep possession of the Quaffle is a symptom of "Loser's Lurgy." Some spectators jeer at her and McGonagall does not quite know what to do. People who are fond of Luna fall about laughing. Her unusual commentary wins over Ron Weasley, who initially found her strange but reconsidered after hearing her description of the game. (J. K. Rowling, incidentally, commented that she loved using Luna as commentator for what would become the last narrated Quidditch game of the series.)
When Death Eaters attack Hogwarts at the end of book six, Luna is one of the DA members who attempt to protect the school. Shortly after the battle, she attends Albus Dumbledore's funeral with Neville. There, she is seen helping Neville, who was injured in the battle, into his chair.
At the funeral, Harry notes that she and Neville were the only D.A. members (besides Ron, Hermione, and Ginny) who answered the call on their D.A. coins to help fight. He thinks this is probably because these two are the most lonely and probably frequently checked their coins to see if there was a meeting. This, however, should not detract from the bravery both showed as they risked their lives to protect Hogwarts.

Luna walked into the Ravenclaw common room after dinner. She plopped into one of the chairs and pulled out the latest copy of the Quibbler. Turning it upside-down, she began reading silently until the portrait swung open. A group of boys walked in and over to her, snatching the magazine out of her hands.
"Would you kindly give that back?" she asked, stretching her hand out.The boys laughed and tossed the magazine into the fireplace before walking off. Luna frowned but decided that it wasn't the best issue anyway and pulled her Charms home work out to work on.
