Application:
Name: Ginevra Molly Weasley
Nick name(s) : Gin, Ginny
Age: 14
Year:4th
Appearence:
Her eyes are a medium-dark brown. When she gets angry or aroused they look so dark they're almost black. Her hair, like all Weasley, is Thick and bright red, she usually wears it either in a long braid down her back, all her hair straight, or in thick waves that frame her face quite nicely. She parts it on the side and there are shorter bits in front that she refuses to call fringe because it sounds too girlish.
Ginny also has a short and stocky built body. She's more on th esquare side, more like Fred and George rather than Ron or Bill. For a 14 year old, she's pretty well developed, but she doesn't care. She could be really flat and not care at all.
Personality:
Ginny is proof of how powerful someone can be even without physical stature. She's also proof of how much more one can accomplish without a hopeless crush on anybody. Younger and smaller than the six very talented and boisterous Weasley boys, Ginny has learned to hold her own. As the first girl born into the Weasley clan for some time, Ginny may have had to face certain expectations--but when after growing up in the same house as Fred and George, one learns that there's little time to be a blushing flower.
She's learned to think around the rules and to lie with a straight face. She has genuine confidence, born of her own hard experiences; she knows her talents and knows which battles she wants to fight with them.
History:
Ginny spent her childhood dreaming of the day she would go to Hogwarts--and spent the year before she did dreaming of meeting the legendary Harry Potter. When he became friends with her brother Ron, who is just a year older than Ginny, and even stayed at the Burrow, a more confident girl would have seen it in as a stroke of luck. Unfortunately, Ginny was completely overcome by Harry's bravery and kindness and was convinced he'd never show interest in her. Her brothers' teasing about her feelings didn't help. Whenever Harry approached, Ginny either ran away or dropped whatever she was holding and turned red. Although normally chatty with her brothers, Ginny never spoke in Harry's presence until she demonstrated her own bravery by defending him to Draco Malfoy in the Flourish and Blotts bookshop just before she started school.
Of course, the Flourish and Blotts encounter was pivotal for another reason; when Ginny looked at the secondhand textbooks her parents had bought her there, she found an old diary in one of them. It was just what she needed, an outlet for her embarrassment over her tattered robes and inability to impress the boy she adored. Ginny wrote about these things in the diary as she started her Hogwarts education, and the memory of Tom Riddle, who owned the diary fifty years before, wrote back in a most friendly manner. Little did Ginny know, Riddle was actually a fragment of Lord Voldemort's own soul; his diary, a Horcrux, had been slipped into her books by former Death Eater Lucius Malfoy, and the more she wrote in it, the stronger this version of Voldemort became. Riddle enchanted Ginny to set his Basilisk on the school's Muggle-born students. She started to question the diary's power as hours disappeared from her memory. She would find herself covered in feathers or paint, having been forced to kill off the school roosters on one occasion and to paint the Heir of Slytherin's message on the wall on another.
Afraid she was being used to attack students, Ginny tried to get rid of the diary by flushing it down a toilet. Moaning Myrtle, a ghost, revolted against the book in the pipes, though, and flooded the toilet so the diary was found by Harry himself. As soon as Ginny realized he had it, she rummaged through his room to take it back. It wasn't long before Riddle tried to get rid of her by leading her down to the Chamber of Secrets to die so he would live fully again. Fortunately for Ginny, Harry came to rescue her as Riddle thought he would, and he was more of a success at it than Riddle had expected. Ginny never suffered blame for the diary incident, and Headmaster Dumbledore quickly dispelled her fears of expulsion. However, she suffered the huge setback of owing Harry her life and her reputation when she had so wanted to prove herself to him.
For the next couple of years at Hogwarts, Ginny reverted to silence around Harry unless she was in the presence of her brothers, most of whom she feels very comfortable with. Ginny brought Harry a magical get-well card after his Quidditch defeat in her second year, and just before her third year, she was in his company at the Quidditch World Cup. Midway through her third year, Ginny accepted Neville Longbottom's invitation to accompany him to the Yule Ball, and shortly after that, Ron suggested she go with Harry. Though this was a sore disappointment at the time, Ginny did meet a Ravenclaw boy named Michael Corner at the Ball, and they began going out at the end of that year. Ginny gained a great deal of confidence from this and lost her self-consciousness around Harry. (This, of course, was her aim, on Hermione's advice.) She also probably gained a great sense of purpose while living at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. The fight against Voldemort is probably more personal to her than to her likewise inquisitive brothers, because unlike them, she has faced him before.

Roleplaying Sample:
Looking around at the Gryffindor Common Room, Ginny wondered if she’d ever have anything to do. She sighed as she looked around and noticed that Harry, Ron and Hermione in a corner. They seemed to be discussing something serious. Umbridge maybe? She was horrible. The old toad never made them do anything except for reading spell theory. Ugh. Ginny would do anything to get out of even one of her classes.
If only there was someone who would teach them spells. Real spells. Someone who had experience with them. Someone who would go behind Umbridge’s back to teach students proper spells. A rule-breaker. Who though? Fred and George might, but they’d probably act like idiots in front of the students. Forget it. She told herself.
She got off the chair she had been sitting on and left the Common Room to go find Michael. She needed someone to hang with, and a boyfriend would work just right about now.
She walked down staircase after staircase until she got to the Ravenclaw hall. One of Michael’s friends just happened to be walking towards her. “Hey.” Ginny. Said. “Do you know where Michael is?” she asked him. Either he didn’t hear her, or he was ignoring her, because he just kept on going. “Weird.” Ginny told herself. “He’s always answering me.” She looked at the back of the guy’s head and tried to find Michael in the crowd of students.
