PERSONALITY OVERVIEW:
In all honesty, Remus Lupin is probably one of the biggest sweethearts this world has ever seen. it's just that he typically isn't one to show it. This is the guy who, at parties, will stand awkwardly in the corner unless he's surrounded by very close friends and doesn't like coming out of his shell. This is the guy, who, when confronted with a girl, can't flirt to save his life because he's far too honest and sincere to say anything he doesn't mean. This is also a guy who would rather spend a night studying than drinking, and is constantly aiming to do well in school. He is often the source of praise from teachers and professors on account of his good behavior and quiet temperament, despite the people he makes habits of befriending.
However, around his friends, Remus is a slightly different person. He's warmer, much friendlier, and normally has a smile on his face. The people he considers closest include the Marauders and other select Gryffindors, and Remus would do anything to protect them. While he might be a reasonably honest person, and it often pains him to lie, he wouldn't hesitate to do it for someone in need. He's rather intelligent, and therefore has the potential to be devious when he's in a particularly mischievous mood, which is practically never. Because of his gratefulness to people for being his friend, he constantly does all he can to prove his worth and tries to do whatever he can for people.
But Remus also has his faults, just like any other person. He's very kindhearted, and oftentimes that can lead him to believe the best in others even when it's clear that they're not necessarily of the purest morals. He also finds it hard in slandering or attacking others physically, as his condition has him constantly in fear that he might hurt someone anyway. Remus is also fairly paranoid, especially about socializing. Because of his lycanthropy, he does his best to keep it a secret and is always scared that people will up and leave him because of the condition he has. Most of his problems, come to think of it, simply originate with his lack of confidence because of his being a werewolf, especially since that lack of confidence is most strongly exemplified in his self-loathing nature. He hates what he is, and Remus considers himself to be his worst enemy.

MOTHER: mary-ann lupin -- muggleborn, 41
SIBLINGS: n/a
OTHER FAMILY: n/a
SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS: fairly poor
HISTORY OVERVIEW:
Remus was the first-born and only son of John and Mary-Ann Lupin, born on March 10th, 1960. His early life was fairly uneventful. His parents didn't make much money, but they were happy, and they got on with what they could, making ends meet. Everything was set up for them to be a happy family for the rest of their lives, until of course Greyback came along.
It happened when Remus was just a child, barely older than six. His father insulted Greyback at work, and in retaliation Remus was attacked. The only thing he can really remember about that night was the excruciating pain, and the sounds of his mother crying. A doctor was called in from St. Mungo's to tend to Remus, and it was then discovered that the lycanthrope gene had gotten into his system, and that on the next full moon he would transform. His parents, horrified, begged the doctor for a cure and were bluntly told that there was no cure for such an ailment. Remus was successfully healed that night, but unfortunately it was also the night he was transformed into a werewolf.
The first change came quicker than he and his family were expecting, and it was the most painful night in Remus' life to date. As unprepared as the Lupins were, their basement was the price they paid for their unawareness. The next morning, everything was completely shattered and broken in their basement, and in the middle of it was a crying six-year old boy who was sobbing for his parents to kill him. It was a most heartbreaking sight, and for every day after that John and Mary-Ann tried to find a cure for their son. They went to everyone they could find - practiced potioneers, wizened warlocks, even a werewolf support group, but nobody knew anything of a cure for lycanthropy. For five years after that, the Lupins simply did all they could to adjust and keep their son as safe as possible.
When the time came for Remus to attend Hogwarts and he received his letter, John and Mary-Ann debated whether or not it was a good idea to send their son to school around other children his age. Dumbledore himself paid a visit to the family to persuade them that it was perfectly safe for Remus to come to Hogwarts, and so after a good deal of reassurance and promises and arrangements, Remus Lupin was permitted to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It was on his first day that he met the Marauders: James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. They became fast friends, though Remus constantly was withdrawn and thought that if he became to close to the other boys, they would find out his secret and expel him from their group. When the other three boys found out about his lycanthropy, and they began doing all they could to help him, Remus was simply aghast. Never before had someone other than his parents and Dumbledore been so kind or devoted to him. So, of course, the Marauders have been as thick as thieves ever since, and they are some of the few people that Remus keeps close and dear to his heart to this very day.
