Appearance: Although Teddy can look like anyone he wants to look like, generally, he doesn't even bother with morphing anymore, having long since gotten past the experimental phase. He's perfectly satisfied with his natural looks: longish brown hair, blue eyes, fairly tall and fairly thin. Strangely, his one affectation is not a product of his power. Though his eyesight is perfect, Teddy likes to wear glasses when he's working hard on something, in the belief that this makes him look really smart.
PB: Matthew Gray Gubler

Personality: Teddy is bright, bubbly, and basically one of the sweetest kids you'll ever meet. Being a Metamorphmagus who can be anyone he wants to be, he is one of the few people in the world who can truly claim not to be bothered by people who are different, whether it be race, sex, disability, or anything else you can name. Indeed, he embraces differences, and it can be a little obnoxious how he'll fling himself into any conversation and ask as many questions as he can come up with, for the sheer joy of getting to know someone. He is kind, friendly, loyal, compassionate, understanding...

Of course, these very traits can make him incredibly obnoxious to be around. Being friends with someone so exuberant and enthusiastic is great when you're happy; being friends with someone so understanding and attentive is great when you're depressed. But when maybe you want to just sit quietly for awhile, Teddy is not your man, and there are plenty of people who want to slap him in the face for not being serious enough.

But Teddy is not entirely sunshine and rainbows, and there are things he takes seriously - like the safety of the people he loves. He has rebuilt the Order that his father fought for with nothing but his infectious smile and his absolute, unshakable certainty that something is going to happen. Too bad, really, that that certainty comes across a lot like a conspiracy theory, a lot of the time. Teddy is more than a little obsessed with the return of the Death Eaters.

Then there's the fact that when Teddy isn't in happy mode, he can be one of the most depressing people of all time. Running on full so much of the time means that when he crashes, he crashes hard. A simple argument can devastate him, and he's secretly very insecure, afraid that maybe no one likes him for him. Maybe no one even knows the real him at all. That's the problem with being a Metamorphmagus; it's easy to lose sight of yourself.

Special Abilities/Traits: Metamorphmagus

Parents: Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks
Siblings: Rebecca Lupin (19)
History: There was never a more unlikely pair than Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks; at least, that was how Remus told the story to his son. A lonely werewolf and a bubbly Metamorphmagus found friendship through their mutual devotion to Sirius Black, and later, it turned into love and marriage. Not long after that marriage, it turned into babies.

Well, in the beginning, just one baby. Teddy wasn't planned; Remus and Tonks were still in the stage of arguing about whether it was a good idea to attempt having kids at all when she discovered she was pregnant. Fortunately, their son came out healthy, happy, and with no signs of lycanthropy. He also came out with turquoise hair.

The three of them were a tight-knit unit, and Teddy adored both of his parents. Remus stayed home with him, since he had trouble getting a job as a werewolf, and Tonks was around whenever her career allowed her to be. With only one working parent, they were never well-off, but Teddy was the sort of inquisitive, easily-entertained child who could make do with nothing but a sandbox for weeks on end. He had more of his mother's personality to him, but (naturally, at least) more of his father's looks; from his mother, he learned how to morph, and from his father, he learned about Death Eaters. Remus was determined, though the war was long since over, that it shouldn't be forgotten as it had been.

Teddy started begging when he was three for a little brother or sister to play with, and his parents told him the truth: that he was lucky not to be burdened with lycanthropy as his father was, and that they would not risk it with another child. He accepted it, with great sorrow, and therefore, he was the most excited person in the family when they found out that once again, the contraceptives had failed and Tonks was going to have a second child.

Although he'd been looking forward to going to Hogwarts since he was old enough to understand what it was, when the time came to leave, he cried and begged to be allowed to stay home - because little Rebecca was here now, not even a month old, and Teddy had not yet gotten his fill of being a big brother. He promised to write every day, and allowed himself to be put on the Hogwarts Express.

And he did write every day, for seven years, and sent drawings to Rebecca. That didn't mean he wasn't experiencing Hogwarts to the full, however; he experienced it with more delight and enthusiasm than just about anybody else ever had. He loved his classes. He loved his classmates. He loved the food. He loved Quidditch; he played reserve Beater for three years, third, fourth, and fifth, and one time he got to play in an actual game, and that letter was ten pages long.

Soon enough, he met Victoire Weasley, a girl two years younger than him, and she quickly became his soul mate - platonically at first, though eventually they started dating. She grounded him in all the ways he needed, and he never had eyes for anyone else. Their relationship was occasionally rocky, as teenage relationships are, and they broke up once or twice, but by the time he left school, Teddy was convinced that she was the one he wanted to spend his life with. He just had to wait until she left school too, and hope she still felt the same way about him.

In the meantime, he'd successfully achieved the marks necessary to get into healer training, which he'd wanted to do ever since he was a child. The idea of helping people, of making them better or easing their pain as they passed on, was the most important thing in the world to him. His optimism and friendliness gave him the proper temperament for the job, and he refused to have those qualities beaten out of him by seeing people die. Though most people chose a specialty, Teddy is still a general practitioner, because he can't bear to turn away anyone in need.

Wonder of wonders, when Victoire left school she did still want to be with him. Teddy politely gave it a year before he proposed, but quickly realised they were looking at a long engagement. Becca was a bit too old to be a flower girl, and anyway, he wanted her to have a better role in this once-in-a-lifetime ceremony. Yet putting off his marriage to Victoire distressed him, a lot. It wasn't that he doubted her commitment, because he didn't, but he didn't want her to begin to doubt his.

They eloped late in 2019, and rang in the new decade as husband and wife. Although the marriage was perfectly legal, they agreed not to tell anyone; they would become spouses in the eyes of everyone they knew only when they were ready to have a big, full-blown ceremony. Teddy didn't want his parents or sister to be upset with his choice, even though he'd done it for Becca; he didn't want them to think that his wedding was any less real just because the licence would be several years old by then. Teddy and Victoire moved in together, and agreed that it was all right to be seen as living in sin. They knew the truth; eventually their families and friends would be let in on the secret too, and hopefully everyone would have a good laugh.

Maybe this was not the brightest decision of Teddy's young life.

Considerations of the wedding ceremony had to be put off, though. Teddy had always been extremely interested in the Death Eaters, thanks to his father's lectures, and he began to see dark hints in the papers - and in things the papers refused to report. Many of Voldemort's supporters had not died or gone to Azkaban, and the tenets they'd lived by, of pureblood supremacism and tradition, were still rampant in certain segments of society. Virtually everyone Teddy knew laughed off his conspiracy theories, but when a Death Eater finally disappeared right from inside of Azkaban, Teddy knew something must be up. The Ministry claimed the man had died in prison, but there were rumours, and rumours were enough. There wouldn't be rumours of an escape from Azkaban, of all places, if there wasn't truth to it.

Several things happened in the year 2026. Teddy began to slowly gather support for his idea of reforming the Order his father had fought for; he and his secret wife began planning their official wedding; and the contraception that had worked for years finally failed, and they discovered that Victoire was pregnant.

There was nothing for it but to tell their close friends and family what they'd done, in order to legitimise their unborn child. Pretty much everyone got over it, and while it was awkward, Teddy was thrilled. He was nearing thirty, and finally he was going to start a family with the woman he loved. They decided to postpone the wedding until after the baby was born.

Their son, Artemis William Lupin, was born on 6 June, 2027. Teddy was becoming an extremely busy man; he was a new father, he was getting married at the end of September, he was busy with work (although fortunately he was allowed extra time off for paternity leave), and he was also still putting together the new Order. Thus far, most of their work was to try to catch the Ministry in its lies and discover the truth behind suspicious reports, but Teddy was convinced that soon enough, he'd be proven correct and the Death Eaters would resurface in a way no one could ignore.

He didn't want to be proven correct, of course. But he would be.

Yet time went on without anything he could concretely tie to the Death Eaters, and he began to feel that most of his Order members were losing interest. He had a wife and son to focus on; he and Victoire publicly married on 9 October, 2027. And soon he had to focus on his sister as well, when her life turned upside-down. All things considered, the Order went neglected. But Teddy never forgot and never wavered in his certainty. Something was coming. Something big.

Three Random Facts: 1. Teddy can have entire conversations in punctuation marks. Yes, that's right: he can say "?", "!", "...", and even "?!?!?!" out loud. He reckons this is his second best talent. You know, after the morphing thing.
2. One time, through an administrative oversight, Teddy spent an entire week on duty, sleeping in the on-call room and living on break room doughnuts and cafeteria food. He used the paycheck to buy a Playstation and a bunch of video games. Now he has video game parties every Tuesday.
3. Do not ever tell Teddy Lupin to just grow up already. Because he will sing the Toys R Us jingle in falsetto until you are sorry. I don't wanna grow up! I'm a Toys R Us kid!
