Overall Personality:

Remus is a fairly cheerful young man who knows how to have fun. How could he not have a sense of humor when he was one of the Marauders. Remus appreciates every little thing in life, and takes his school seriously. After all he poses a risk and he's not going to have that risk go in vain. Remus acts serious when around his bone-headed friends, and has a lot of fun just being around them. He calls them idiots all the time, but he doesn't actually think it. Remus does like the pranks, and has a good time with them.

Remus, however, also has some of the lowest self-esteem any person could have and still have good times. He always thinks he's going to hurt someone, and he distances himself for that reason. Remus is very sensitive about his condition, and keeps it a secret for that reason, thinking that the instant someone finds out they will hate him forever because of it.

Overall History:

Remus was born on 10 March, 1960 to Lyall and Hope Lupin (née Howell). At an early age, Remus was bitten by the werewolf, Fenrir Greyback, and he became a werewolf himself. The bite was a response to an insult from Lyall. His parents did everything that they could in order to try to find a cure for him, but there was no cure. Although he and his parents were unsure of the safety of allowing him to attend school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, did not see why he could not attend and encouraged him to become a student.

emus attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor house. To secure his safety, as well as that of his peers, Remus would be brought to the Shrieking Shack once a month for his transformations in order to prevent him from attacking other students. However, this isolation caused him to attack himself out of frustration. This, and the painful monthly transformations, made the villagers of Hogsmeade mistake his screams for that of violent ghosts. Dumbledore, wanting to keep the truth of these noises a secret, encouraged these rumours. Thus, the building was dubbed the Shrieking Shack, which held the reputation for being the most haunted building in Britain.

Remus became the very best of friends with fellow Gryffindors Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew. He kept his status as a werewolf a secret from all of the students at Hogwarts, including Sirius, James, and Peter, and made up stories to explain his monthly disappearances, such as that his mother was ill and he needed to go home to visit her. He was terrified that they would desert him once they found out what he truly was. However, Sirius, James, and Peter worked out the truth during their second year, and due to their acceptance of who Remus was, and their unusually strong friendship with him, they decided to learn how to become Animagi in order to keep Remus company during his transformations, as a werewolf is only a danger to humans. By their fifth year, Sirius was able to become a dog, and James was able to become a stag, animals large enough to keep the wolfish Remus in check. Peter, meanwhile, was able to become a rat. Once a month during the full moon, Sirius, James and Peter would sneak out of the castle under James's Invisibility Cloak, transform, get into the Whomping Willow, walk down the tunnel and meet up with Remus in the Shrieking Shack. Under their influence, Lupin became tame; his body was still a wolf's, but his mind became less so when he was among them. The four of them soon left the Whomping Willow and would roam among the school grounds and Hogsmeade by night. Eventually, this group of friends came to call themselves the Marauders, and Remus' friends nicknamed him "Moony" because of his transformations during every full moon.
