He generally has a very serious, calm demeanor. He takes the time to think things through, which can be a bit of a disadvantage in situations where he needs to make quick, spur of the moment decisions, for he'll attempt to analyze things when there just isn't time. He’s really sobered up over the years and has become a pretty serious person. While he’ll joke around every once in a while, he kind of goes with the ‘there’s a time and place’ mindset. He's one of those people who let's their anger build up. He'll shrug it off and push it aside for as long as he can. Slowly, it builds up until he can't take it anymore and he just explodes. This usually involves several minutes of yelling and once he lets it all out, he's fine again...until it all builds up and needs released once more. However, Ted really isn't a violent person at all. He doesn't like fighting and tries to avoid it at all cost. The only act of violence that comes out of the guy is when he’s in a duel or situation where he has to fight to protect himself and others. Considering all of the deaths that came from the last war, such as his parents’, he prefers trying to figure out solutions to problems without violence. For the most part, he’s a pretty friendly person. He enjoys being around people and is generally a pretty nice guy, and quite the gentleman. However, he doesn’t mind being alone either. Teddy can often be seen just wandering around by himself, lost in his own thoughts. He seems to always have something to think about and enjoys learning new things. [style=background-color: #9ACFE0; width: 485px; height: 10px;] nationality: British hometown: Tutshill, England financial status: Upper-middle parents: Remus Lupin, 38, deceased; Nymphadora Tonks, 25, deceased; siblings: None biologically, but he's spent so much time with the Potters that he practically considers James, Albus, and Lily to be his siblings. others: Andromeda Tonks, grandmother; Harry Potter, godfather; Draco Malfoy, cousin; related to the Black family. familiar: None history: Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks had a bit of a rough relationship. After all, it was never easy to fall in love during a war, especially when the man you fall in love with is a werewolf. Remus was opposed to the whole thing for the longest time, insistent that Tonks could do better than someone like him. However, as times grew tough, Remus started to realize the things in life that were important and, finally, could no longer deny his feelings for Tonks. The two were married and soon had a child on the way. Theodore Remus Lupin was born into the world on April 7th, just a few months before the end of the second war would come. Though Remus and Dora were afraid for their son (because of how dangerous times were and the possibility that he would be a werewolf), they loved him instantly. Harry Potter was named to be young Teddy’s godfather, though he wouldn’t be able to see the child until later on. It was only a few days before it became apparent that Teddy had inherited the Methamorphmagus trait from his mother. He had been born with sandy colored hair and blue eyes, but his hair and eye color continued to change from day to day. For the most part though, life was great for the young family. Unfortunately, tragedy was soon set to strike. Remus and Nymphadora were both killed during the Battle of Hogwarts. They both went down fighting for freedom, but left a now-orphaned child behind. Of course, Ted was too young to realize any of this, but just because his parents were gone didn’t mean he was going to be alone. He was taken in by Tonks’ mother, Andromeda Tonks. Aside from his grandmother, Teddy had plenty of other family to care for him. Aside from Andromeda, he had his godfather, Harry, to care for him and many others who were part of the Order of the Phoenix. Even Narcissa Malfoy would eventually rebuild her relationship with her sister and become part of Teddy’s life. For the most part, Teddy had a fairly average childhood. Andromeda was a great mother, though a little strict (of course, you would be too if you had to raise Nymphadora Tonks), she wanted to give her grandson as normal of a life as possible. Thankfully, Teddy ended up not being a werewolf, but his Metamorphmagus abilities got him in trouble a few times around Muggles. His appearance was constantly shifting, based on whatever emotions he was feeling. When out in public places like the grocery store, he’d earn some very weird stares when his hair would suddenly shift in color. While he loved his grandmother greatly, Harry quickly became one of Teddy’s favorite people to be around. His godfather made it a point to be a part of Teddy’s life, determined to have the relationship that he and Sirius should have been able to have. He practically became a father to Teddy, despite his young age and, as he grew older, found that Harry was the only person that could really understand how it felt to never know his parents. This was a nice reassurance for Teddy to have as he grew older, for when he reached the age of ten, he finally started to understand the whole thing about not having his parents around. It was rather difficult for him to deal with, what with hearing about how amazing they were but never getting to know for himself. He thought it was unfair and didn’t see why this had to happen to him. Thanks to the help from his friends and family, he was able to realize that he wasn’t totally alone. Still, it was going to be something that would constantly pester him over the years. At age eleven, he received his letter to go to Hogwarts. Like all children in the wizarding world, Teddy was beyond excited to go. He was excited to meet other people his age and finally be able to learn magic. He had heard so many stories about Hogwarts and now he was finally going to get to experience it all for himself. Even at his young age, he was a fairly ambitious person. Already he was dreaming about the things that he could become. Maybe the next Minister of magic, a Quidditch player, or even an Auror? There were so many tempting possibilities for his future and he was determined to do something successful with his life. He wanted to become a person that his parents would be proud of. Upon entering Hogwarts, he had been very curious as to what house he would sorted into. After all, his family members had been in every house, aside from Ravenclaw. He ended up taking after his father and godfather and being sorted into Gryffindor, something he was quite proud of. He loved his classes and being able to learn new things. He did rather well in his studies too, seeming to have inherited his father’s brains. Charms and Transfiguration seemed to be the subjects he did the best in (and the ones he enjoyed the most), but he did well in the other classes as well. Of course, Potions was a bit of a struggle for him, for some reason. He seemed to have a hard time getting things right and quickly lost tolerance for it all. Divination wasn’t a very exciting class either…nor was History of Magic (though he was pretty sure it wasn’t possible for it to be exciting). Thanks to some training from his godfather, Teddy was able to play as Keeper on the Quidditch team from his third year to his seventh year. For the most part, the young wizard was well-liked among his classmates and got along pretty well with them. He had his fair share of friends, dated a couple of girls, and was named prefect his fifth year. He did quite well on his O.W.L.s and life was great. It became even greater when he started dating Victorie Weasley. Considering his close relationship with the Potter family, it was only expected that he would know the many members of the Weasley family as well. However, Victorie was a couple of years younger than him and, honestly, he hadn’t paid much attention to her throughout his childhood. As he got to know her better during his time at Hogwarts, the two became very close and started dating. Teddy can honestly say she was the first person he truly fell in love with. No one was more amazing than Victorie and no one seemed to understand him like she did. She was perfect and he was sure he would marry her one day. After graduating from Hogwarts, Teddy wasn’t quite sure what to do with his life. There were so many things that he wanted to do, so many things that he had the potential to do…he just didn’t know where to start. He finally took up a job at the Ministry, working in Accidental Magic Reversal Squad. It was a job he did quite well at, considering his skill Charms, but it wasn’t something he enjoyed enough to want to do the rest of his life. He needed a job though, for he had every intention of marrying Victorie and thus he needed to be able to support her. Things weren’t going to go according to plan, however. Not long after Victorie got out of Hogwarts, the young couple moved in together. At first, things were great, but as time wore on it all started to fall apart. Teddy tried to do his best to avoid fighting and keep peace between the two of them, but Victorie was a little too firey for that. It didn’t help that as rumors of another war started to break out, Teddy seemed to withdraw. All he could think about was how his parents had been killed in the last war and how he’d been an orphan because of it. He began to have a hard time envisioning a future with Victorie and slowly started to push her away. Things became very tense and, eventually, she broke it off with him and left. To say he was devastated by the whole thing would be an understatement. His heart had literally been shattered and, once again he could only wonder ‘why me?’ It was a hard time for Teddy, who had been twenty-three at the time. Thankfully, he had his family and friends to help get him through it all. He hasn’t talked to Victorie much since, but at the age of twenty-five, he’s finally able to move on from it. Of course, that didn’t mean he would say no to giving things another chance with her. For the time being though, he had to believe there were other fish in the sea and, though it wouldn’t be easy, he’s become willing to trying to find love again. Of course, even with that mostly behind him, things still aren’t easy for Ted. The rumors about another war are starting to turn into facts. Sides are being taken and he honestly isn’t sure which one to be on. The obvious choice would be to side with the Order of the Phoenix. After all, the Potters, Weasleys, and many others were a part of it. His own parents had been too. Still, he couldn’t ignore the fact that it was the same Order that had ended up causing him to lose his parents. He doesn’t want to fight, and he would love to be able to find a peaceful way to handle things and avoid having others die. He isn’t sure what side to choose, but time is growing short and he knows he’ll have to make a choice soon. He has a lot of thinking to do. To top it all off, the twenty-five year old has been hired to teach charms at Hogwarts. It seems like a much more enjoyable job than the one he has at the Ministry. Charms is Teddy’s forte and the intelligent wizard believes it will be a good experience, teaching it. Of course, with the term coming near, he can’t deny that he’s nervous. What first time teacher wouldn’t be? It’s going to be an interesting year, one that he’s hoping he’ll be able to make it through. He just needs to figure out what he’s doing and get the students to like him. Sadly, he has a feeling that it’s easier said than done.
