Character Audition Questions:

Name: Katherine ‘Katie’ Claire Weasley (nee Bell)
Age and date of birth: December 10, 1978 (24 years old)
Physical description: Short (about 5’2).  Petite of stature, but strong and athletic.  Bright hazel-blue eyes, blonde, and sun-kissed.  She has the kind of face that will look perpetually young and skirting the edges of innocence.
Parents’ Allegiance: (DE, OotP, Ministry, etc.): The Order of the Pheonix.
Personal Allegiance: (DE, OotP, Ministry, etc.): The Order of the Pheonix.  Katie was involved in the final battle at Hogwarts.  Due to being a new mother, she’s not involved in the Order’s current activities, but most all of her family is and she supports them.
How do people perceive this character: Katie’s as sweet as they come.  She always has a smile or a positive word for anyone she comes across.  She’s brave and loyal; Katie will stand by the side of those she loves until the very end.  People often think of her as younger than she is because she’s not only young looking, but she’s bashful, soft spoken and prone to blushing.    
Greatest fear: Something terrible happening to her babies, twins Corie and Devon, or her husband, Fred Weasley.
Greatest passion: Her boys.  Katie loves being a Mum.  Her husband.  Katie’s head over heels in love with Fred.
Aspiration: At one point, when Katie was playing Chaser for the Holyhead Harpies, she had always wanted to go on to play for the British National Team.  However, since getting married and becoming a mother, her dreams have changed.  Katie just wants to be the best Mum she can be, to watch her children grow, and to be a good wife.  She has hobbies, but it’s unlikely Katie will ever play professional Quidditch again.  The baby boys keep her too busy to figure out what she really likes to do outside of her old life of Quidditch and being a mum, right now.  
Greatest Positive Attribute: Katie’s genuinely a nice, sweet person.  She always believes the best in people and rarely ever has a harsh word in her; she’s gentle.  Katie has integrity.  She is who she says she is, and though she’s not got a lot of power and force to enforce her words, her just being who she is often convicts people anyways.
Biggest Fault: Katie’s idealism and optimism can sometimes hurt her.  She wants to believe the best of most everyone, always sees their good instead of their bad.  This leaves her open to being hurt.  Now that she’s a mother, this leaves her family open to the faults of her good intentions, too, though Fred is aware of this in his wife and does his best to protect his family from people who would prey on Katie’s good heart.
Happiest Memory: Becoming a Mum to Fred’s children.
Most painful Memory: The final battle at Hogwarts where she saw her friends fall to injury and death all around her, when she found out George was murdered.  She has little to no memories of her mother, who died when she was only two, but sometimes she has nightmares of the things she saw at Hogwarts happening to her mother and other people she loves.  However, since being with Fred, the nightmares have diminished.  
Does your character value the purity of blood: Not at all.
Is your character "pure-blooded," a "half-blood" or "Muggle-born": Half-blood. Her mother was an orphan French witch and her father was a muggleborn, the son of a gypsy woman (though they refer to themselves as "Romany Folk" :).

Describe the character's personal history (however brief or extensive): Katherine Claire Bell was born to Aiden and Claire Bell on December 10, 1978. Her father, a recent graduate at Hogwarts, was a barkeep at an old Quidditch pub in Diagon Alley called The Broom Shed where he met Claire de Ravine, a young, beautiful French witch who was in the country for the Quidditch World Cup, hosted in Britain that year. She was an orphan who had just graduated from Beauxbaton Acadamy and recently matriculated as a walk-on Chaser in the professional French Quidditch League. She was only an alternate and unlikely to ever make it very far in the sport due to her petite size and delicate frame, but she loved it, and during the summer of 1976 followed the French National Team to Britain to watch them play. Her dream was to be there someday.

However, after meeting Aiden, the two fell in love despite the spotty English to French communication issues. Claire knew limited English and Aiden knew little French. They loved each other though and that transcended the language barrier. They married fairly quickly and Claire gave up her spot on the team she’d been playing for in France to try and make a team in the British League. She’d only just made it as a walk-on for the Holyhead Harpies when she became pregnant early in 1978.

The pregnancy was hard on Claire and she suffered ill-health throughout, but both Aiden and Claire were elated when their little girl, Katie, was born right before Christmas. At that time, the small family moved into the living space above The Broom Shed as Aiden was made the head manager of the Quidditch pub. The couple was happy with their tow-headed newborn, but Claire continued to struggle with her health and not two years after Katie was born, she passed away after catching a bought of pneumonia she just couldn’t fight off.

Aiden was heartbroken, but he had a baby girl to provide for and he threw himself into his work and devoted his life to his child. He tried dating, but every time he looked at his daughter, he saw Claire. She looked nothing like himself, but for the eyes – hazel green-blue instead of shining, clear ice-blue like her mother’s. Else, Katie was fair and petite, wavy blonde hair and a bright, infectious smile just like her mother. He tried dating, but he just couldn’t, and it was only ever Aiden and Katie up above The Broom Shed for the whole of her life.

Katie’s childhood was spent in the pub and she was not only raised by her father, but the family that was there; the older waitresses, Bonnie and Betty, and the owner and head barkeep, Thomas Wallace. She ran the streets of Diagon Alley and made friends with many of the shopkeeps. Every summer, she would go to spend a month or so with her gypsy Grandmum, Aiden’s mother, and the caravan who became another sort of family.

When she matriculated into Hogwarts in 1989, Katie was a seemingly likely Hufflepuff, but she was sorted into Gryffindor. She was a quiet soul, and it was over the many years she was in school that it became apparent why the Sorting Hat had chosen the Lion’s Den for her; she had a firm core of bravery that made up her very person. She was tiny and bashful and shy, but she had a lion’s heart of gold and though it was quiet, she always intervened for anyone who might be in need, even if it was scary to do so sometimes. After hearing about what a wonderful Quidditch player her Mum was her whole life, Katie tried out for the Quidditch team at school. She’d flew as much as she could prior to going to school, and it paid off; she made the Gryffindor team as an alternate her first year. She had always loved Charms and excelled in that subject, but was an average student overall. Her passion was in Quidditch – she wanted to make the Harpies like her Mum had – and her friends.

Though she wasn’t recruited into the League due to her small size, Katie tried out for the Harpies after graduating in 1997. It was one of the most exciting days of her life when the captain, Gwenog Jones, said that she’d earned an alternate’s spot.

During this time, however, the second war was brewing. Katie was at the final battle at Hogwarts and it was one of the worst, most terrible experiences of her life. She fought bravely and managed to live, but she was witness to the injury and death of friends and loved ones. The things she saw that day still haunt her dreams.

After The War, Katie moved to a small cottage in Cornwall, Rose Cottage, and played several years for the Harpies as an alternate before making it as a starting Chaser in 2000. At the time, the decision to make such a tiny player a starter in the the co-ed, professional Quidditch League had been considered controversial on the part of Captain Gwenog Jones. However, the chemistry on the team was undisputed, Katie became a fast fan-favorite for her agile, quick and dynamic flying, and the Harpies went on to win the League Cup the 2000-2001 season.

Her third year as a starting Chaser for the Harpies, Katie started dating Fred Weasley in November of 2002 and he asked her to marry him not seven months later. Though she was on the potion and both she and Fred took precautions, Katie became pregnant in May of 2003 just after they had announced their engagment. She resigned from her position at the Harpies after the season ended in June of 2003.

She and Fred married on October 31, 2003 on the beach outside her cottage in Cornwall with her gyspy Grandmum overseeing the tying of the knot. The whole of her extended gypsy family, Fred’s family and all of their friends witnessed a very pregnant Katie and Fred marry before spending the whole of the night dancing around a bonfire with gypsies.

On December 22, 2003, only twelve days after her birthday, Katie Weasley gave birth to identical twin sons, Devon Percival Weasley and Corey George Weasley.

She and Fred now reside in Cornwall at Rose Cottage with sons Devon and Corey, along with husky, Kaiya, and minature yorkie, Pea. Fred spent several months at home with his new wife and sons, but has gone back to keep his shop, Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes, while Katie has taken on the responsibility of full-time Mum to her sons.

Profession: Wife and stay at home mummy.
