Charlie is an outdoorsy, fun-loving guy who will drop the happy-go-lucky attitude in an instant if he has to. Whether it's protecting his family or his dragons (which he sees as the same thing some times) he is fiercely loyal and will do what needs to be done first and think about the consequences later.
Physical Description
Although being the second oldest child, Charlie has always been somewhat shorter than all his brothers. Standing at just shy of 6 ft tall, he was not as tall and lean as his brothers, but rather shorter and more muscular.
He has the trademark ginger hair of the rest of the Weasley clan, but as he rarely does anything with it, it tends to be rather wild. Lately it has taken on a bit of a curl and usually looks windswept from all the time he spends outside.
His eyes are a bright blue, they stand out with his light skin. Although he spent most of his time out of doors he never tanned much, that and the fact that he is covered in freckles.
He has various small scars left over from burns that have healed and the occasional scrape from a claw when he got too close or when he got too close to the scales of a sleeping dragon.
Personality Description
Charlie loves to be outdoors, so he generally loves doing anything that involves being in nature.
While he is genuinely happy and pleasant to be around most of the time, he can get fiercely protective and angry if someone tries to hurt his dragons.
He has a stubborn streak a mile wide and doesn't like to listen to authority figures who he doesn't respect.
On the other side though, if you earn his trust and respect you have gained a loyal friend for life.
He has been known to imbibe in any kind of alcohol when he's not working, and if he drinks too much, anything and everything that is on his mind tends to spill out - not unlike Hagrid actually.
History
In the small village of Ottery St. Catchpole Charlie Weasley was born to Arthur and Molly Weasley, being born just two years after his older brother. His childhood was fairly normal, he was a happy little boy who loved to play outside with his siblings, fly a broom around their pitch in the orchard, and spend as much time as he could outside.
When he got his letter to Hogwarts he was truly excited to be away from his crowded home, only to get homesick the first month he was in Gryffindor tower because at night it was far too quiet with no one shouting at each other and no whispering from the twins.
Doing well in school he made Seeker his second year and then Prefect his fifth, leading Gryffindor to win the Quidditch Cup several times, in fact for a fleeting moment he thought to play professionally when he graduated, but he kept venturing into the Forbidden Forest and learning about all kinds of creatures that he changed his mind.
After graduating, he upset his mother by travelling all the way to Romania to study dragons. He didn't necessarily want to upset the woman, but at the moment, it was the best opportunity for him as they had quite a selection of dragons to study. It didn't take him long to rise through the ranks to become one of the senior dragon handlers.
During the war, he didn't visit home often because although he had joined the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore had asked him to try and recruit overseas, so he mostly stayed where he was and used his many connections to see what he could do.
Closer to the end of the war, he came for Bill's wedding to Fleur and then once more to help end the battle at Hogwarts.
Now he lives in Romania at the reserve full time, but has taken on a more diplomatic part of his job. Because of his siblings having children and Charlie living so far away, he's taken it upon himself to volunteer to take things to the Ministry so he can pop home and visit his family. Taking his time to do so often because after losing Fred, he doesn't want to miss out on any more than he can help.
He still works with dragons, but now he is on hand to take anything to the Ministry in London so he can stop by and visit his family before going back to Romania. Mostly paperwork that would tire out the owl sent to carry it. Because of this, whenever he has to make that trip, the reserve gives him a few days extra so he can catch up on all that is going on with his siblings and parents.
Charlie has had a deep love for animals since the day he started walking. He's always looking to learn more about animals and especially dragons - anything about dragons. Studying them for most of his life, he was glad he could make that his career and he would never want to change that.
