## Background

When Luna was nine, one of her mother's spells went wrong and accidentally killed Pandora. She was left being raised by her father and believed in his beliefs of imaginary creatures.

### Personality

Often thought to be a girl with an odd personality, Luna is actually a very intelligent young woman. Most people thought that she was odd, and even called her "Looney Lovegood" and often stole her things. Luna was quite accepting, as she didn't care that people were mean to her and stole her things, being taught to accept people for who they are. She is very strange but has a lot of friends who were protective of Luna. Additionally, despite not minding what people think of her, Luna's friends were protective of her and got angered whenever they insulted her. This was shown when Ginny nearly jinxed students mocking her. Finally, Harry scolded Romillda Vane and her friends for insulting both Luna and Neville when he was hanging out with them.

She was also exceptionally brave in the final book of the series, admitting bravery during the battle of Hogwarts and showing strong loyalty towards Harry and her friends during the battle. She is very optimistic and very friendly to people, including Harry, who is very good friends with her, as well as being very perceptive.

### Physical Appearance

Luna is described as having long, straggly, dirty blonde hair. However, in the films, her hair is lighter. She was also tall and very beautiful passed how the way she dressed.

Luna also often wore jewelry and put her want behind her left hair for safe-keeping.
