Remus Lupin

Basic Information

Remus Lupin was born on Great Britain in 1oth March of 1960. He was the only son of Lyall and Hope Lupin.

Physical Description

Remus is described as having a pale face with premature lines, and light brown hair that, with each book, becomes more and more grey. The lines on his face and his greying hair were the results of the great deal of stress his body underwent with each full moon. His clothing is consistently shabby and patched, presumably because of his inability to find a decently-paid job due to his status as a werewolf.
In 1993, he sported a thin moustache, and from 1995 until his death, he sports more of a rough beard. He has scars cutting across his face and given Remus' comments on werewolf inflicted injuries being cursed wounds that are unlikely to fully heal afterFenrir Greyback's attack on Bill Weasley, it is possible he bears more scars from his self-inflicted injuries during his transformations. In death, however, the flaws of his appearance were rectified, just like his friend Sirius Black; his spirit was described as "younger, less shabby, and his hair was thicker and darker."

Personality

Remus was compassionate, intelligent, tolerant, levelheaded, peaceful, selfless, brave, and kind. Despite having suffered a great deal of prejudice in his life due to his lycanthropy, he managed to retain an ability to see the good in almost everybody and was extremely forgiving. Remus also had an excellent sense of humour. When he was a student at school, was one of the Marauders.[6] However, unlike his friends, he never partook in bullying. He hence could be described as the most mature, responsible one of the group. He even became aprefect in his fifth year.[8] Also, unlike his friends, he was able to, or at least would try to maintain civil conversation with those he did not get along well with, such as Severus Snape.
Remus was unusually perceptive, with an uncanny ability to guess the thoughts of those around him. True to being a Gryffindor, Lupin was quite courageous. Nonetheless, he suffered deep-seated feelings of shame and fear of rejection which, in certain situations, led him to consider backing down. His greatest weakness was that, in his desperate longing to belong and be liked, he was neither as brave or honest as he should have been at times.
His Boggart is a full moon, possibly reflecting on an apparent terror of transforming near humans. This terror may stem from the time where Severus Snape was nearly bitten by him in his werewolf form.

History

He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was Sorted into Gryffindor house. During his school years, he was one of the Marauders, best friends with Sirius Black,James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew. Together they created theMarauder's Map.
After Hogwarts, Remus and his friends joined the Order of the Phoenix and fought in the First Wizarding War.
