History: Ron was born the next to youngest child of an all-wizard family. While fairly poor, the family always got by well enough and had each other for support (and merciless teasing!). The older Weasley brothers were all pretty successful in their ways. Thus, when the time came for Ron to start attending Hogwarts, he had a lot to live up to. In his first year, he met people who would become his two best friends: the famously known Harry Potter, and the intelligent Hermione Granger. The trio came to get along well, forming a close bond. Together they made an attempt to save the Sorceror's Stone during that year, running across dark forces along the way. Ron's skill at wizard chess became useful to save the trio as they went on to seek the stone.

In the next two years to come, Ron would stand by Harry and Hermione through increasingly darker adventures. His second year at Hogwarts involved the opening of the legendary Chamber of Secrets and the involvement of Tom Riddle's memory. By the third year the threesome learned the innocence and truth about an escaped convict from Azkaban... Harry's godfather, Sirius Black. It was in this year also when Ron's pet Scabbers revealed itself to be one Peter Pettigrew, the traitor Marauder who had a hand in betraying Harry's family to Voldemort. After Ron lost Scabbers as a pet, he was given an owl from Sirius, named Pigwidgeon. Ron was injured as a result of their adventures, and recovered while Harry and Hermione raced to save Hagrid's pet, Buckbeak.

The next year was when the Tri-Wizard Tournament was held, and Hogwarts was visited by foreign wizards- including one of Ron's favorite Quidditch players, Viktor Krum. Ron and Harry had a falling out because of Harry's accidental entry in the tournament, and don't speak for some time. This was partly due to jealousy of Harry's increased notoriety, but Ron stubbornly insisted that he thought Harry entered himself. This feud ended as soon as the first event was over, and after that Ron gave Harry his support in getting by the rest of the tournament. As part of the Tournement, a Yule Ball was also held. Ron pestered Hermione about her own date, while desperately trying to secure one for himself. Although Harry got the Patil sisters to go with himself and Ron to the Ball, Ron and his date Padma didn't get along very well. The night culminated in a heated argument between Ron and Hermione, and the result of Ron no longer idolizing Krum (then Hermione's date). Ron denied any feelings for Hermione, maintaining that this was not jealousy at all (yeah right!). The death of one of the contestants in the tournament and Harry's witnessing the return of Voldemort would cast more darkness on the future for everyone.

The fifth year at Hogwarts, Ron was surprisingly chosen to be a prefect for Gryffindor. By this time, Harry had learned of Voldemort's return and was trying to warn others about it. Ron was one of the few who unwaveringly supported Harry, believing that the Dark Lord had indeed returned. A lot of their classmates showed skepticism, but Ron stuck up for Harry throughout this time. With the dreaded professor Umbridge teaching them Defense Against the Dark Arts, the students would have been doomed to minimal training in the subject that year. Eventually, Ron, Hermione, and some other students who believed them formed their own group with Harry to learn real defenses against dark magic. They called themselves Dumbledore's Army and met in the Room of Requirement to learn new techniques. These skills later were put to good use when Ron and his other friends had to break into the Ministry of Magic to supposedly save Sirius. However, the group ended up facing off against Death Eaters. They persevered, but not without the loss of Sirius. Ron's father had also been injured due to Voldemort's influence, and eventually it was clear to everyone that Voldemort had returned.

By the end of the fifth academic year, Ron and his friends had also sat their OWL exams. The results of those exams would arrive in the middle of the following July- Ron got fairly decent grades, passing most of his subjects. Nothing outstanding, but enough for him to be in good standing academically. To his- and his family's- surprise, an owl arrived a couple weeks later with news. Ron would not be attending Hogwarts for his sixth year. Instead, he transferred to another school: Arcadia Garden. This is thought to be a scheme of Dumbledore, so they could all learn different types and theories of magic, in turn getting an advantage over Voldemort (or so the hope is).

The first couple months at the new school seemed little different than Hogwarts with too many papers, exams and other forms of homework to keep busy with. Like Hermione, Ron has been particularly concerned for Harry- especially so after the discovery of Professor Riddle among the faculty. There wasn’t much they could do except lay low and send word home. Ron tried to keep busy with starting up a Quidditch team, a pretty big process considering most people needed to be taught how to ride brooms. He briefly fell under the spell of a campus-wide brainwashing incident, turning into a very cruel version of himself- saying mean things to friends and even petrifying Ginny. When he regained his right mind, he felt bad for what happened, and even lightened up on squabbling with Hermione (for a little while anyway). The Halloween ball came up not long after that, and to his annoyance he again had to put up with Hermione taking someone else. He was determined not to enjoy it, but meeting Talim there got him to at least enjoy himself and take his mind off that.

Since then, he continued talking to Talim, eventually realizing that she had some sort of deity helping her. Wrongfully thinking it would help her in a stealth mission to learn Voldemort's secrets, he somewhat encouraged the plan... only to have it blow up, pretty literally. Since that time, he visited Talim frequently, hoping that in time something better could comg up to stop Voldemort. He's still having issues with Bart and Hermione's closeness- and doesn't care much for Bart- but the dark things happening have been more worth focus. He still hoped to keep the Quidditch team going in the meantime and to make sure none of his friends got in further trouble.

Ron eventually decided that the only way to combat the annoyance over Bart and Hermione was to find a girlfriend of his own... who just so happened to be Talim. While he liked the girl well enough and enjoyed showing her new and unusual things, he still carried his torch for Hermione deep down. The end of the relationship came when Talim's family learned of them and urged strongly for them to pursue marriage. Ron, not understanding these traditional values, refused, the incident ending in their breaking up. He became annoyed for a time, but gradually came to realize that they could be friends anyway.

Later on, he had a chance to ask Hermione to a campus-wide ball and attend it with her. To his surprise, it went a lot better than he'd expected. He otherwise spent that summer laying low and enjoying the time off... and occasionally dealing with quadmate Tira's flock of ravens. However, at the reminder from Hermione, he has begun to wonder if something dark could be brewing in the background. The return of a suddenly aged Professor Snape only made matters worse, and got him even more wary about what might be in store. He and Hermione figured out a means to look in on happenings back home. The return of Bart again added to Ron's frustration, giving him a bad feeling about the upcoming school year.

Not long after that, however, he was whisked away to Hogwarts for his sixth year, only returning back to the school after that was over with. He didn't recall any of the prior evens of being here (but perhaps retains something deep down were it to be pried at). He and Hermione arrived at a horrid time- when an Inquisition had come to the campus and dampened all of their powers. Without magic, Ron didn't have much else to fight the likes of an armed and powerful Inqusition. So he just stuck it out like many others, until it was all done with. He continued seeing Lavender Brown for some time, although it became clear that her clingy tendencies were getting the best of him... even though for some reason he couldn't fathom, he enjoyed irritating Hermione with her. Their relationship ultimately ended, however, and Ron since kept on growing closer to Hermione. Later in the summer, he and the others found out of Dumbledore's death at Snape's hands, and left school for the funeral. They would all also be home during the time of another campus-wide attack. By the time of the Alternate Universe problems, they were all back. He was surprised and amused like many of the others by the alternative Snape.

But soon after, Ron and all of his friends would get whisked away to home. Ron then went through his seventh year... which really wasn't so much of a school year, as it was a year of hiding out on the run, among other things. Any memories of being here prior were again taken away and locked up as if he'd never actually been at Poseidon... and perhaps this version of himself hadn't. He wouldn't know. He and the others went through a lot that year, though, and he has returned from a point where the wizarding world is starting to heal from Voldemort's damage. He lost a brother in the conflict, and spent time helping George in the shop before ending up at Poseidon. Continuing his education and making up for that lost year seemed like the right thing to do. ...And maybe it would impress Hermione? He could only try.

Personality: Ron is a loyal friend and always willing to stand up for the people he cares about. In fact, he's usually stubborn and headstrong when he's annoyed about something. If something bothers him, he's not afraid to voice his opinions. He wears his emotions on his sleeve a lot of the time- when he feels something, it's usually obvious. Arguing comes easily to him, and there are times when it really would be better for him to shut his mouth. He's an average student, and something of a slacker... but why do homework when he has Hermione around? Despite that, he has shown himself to be pretty clever and able to think fast on many occasions. He's actually really good at thinking strategically when he puts his mind to it. He is the youngest boy in a big family, so it's no wonder that he sometimes feels inadequate about his talents. Harry's unasked for famousness doesn't always help, and it's caused problems with the two in the past. Yet he has a good-natured personality and strong sense of humor to make up for it. This wit of his can lighten the mood most of the time, but it can also come out as a very biting sarcasm when he's angry.

Weapon(s): Wand (willow and unicorn hair); Patronus- Jack Russel Terrier

Appearance/physical attributes: With a tall, gangly build, Ron also has the distinctive red hair common to the Weasley family. He's even grown taller than many of his classmates. He also has large hands and feet. He has freckles and a long nose, and is generally of a cheerful disposition... unless his anger is stirred, which would show really readily. For the most part, he does decently at magic, and would use that in a confrontation- even if he's had a spell or two backfire on him with his old wand. Though he could deal with a physical confrontation if he had to, and has had to be held back on occasion. He's also got good reflexes and can ride a broom very well. He wears a lot of hand-me-down clothes, and homemade sweaters... much to his annoyance.
