Luna Lovegood is a witch in Ginny's year who is considered a bit weird
by her classmates. She comes by this reputation honestly: Luna simply isn't
like the other kids at all. She dresses unusually, she proclaims her strange
beliefs openly, and in some ways she seems to be completely out of touch
with what's going on around her. She has a somewhat bizarre sense of appropriate
social behavior. For example, for a Quidditch match where the students
wave banners and wear rosettes in team colors, Luna sports a hat with a
life-sized lion's head on it which roars very realistically.
Personality
Luna Lovegood is a kind person, she accepts people for who they are, and is eccentric. She looks after creatures which linger in the Forest, making her a considerate human being. She always has a dreamy look and has a distinguished feature which makes her look like she has no idea where she was, Luna looks fearful which makes her a target to the Slytherins, and her strange beliefs can be added.
She is described as the "anti-Hermione" as she believes things on faith alone, while Hermione grounds her views with fact and logic. She's very orientated with her friends and family, she's quite strong and a fighter as she deals with the death of her Mother quite well, although it is untrue that Luna is unintelligent, she just believes things without logic behind it, making her quite imaginative.
Background
Luna takes after her father in having a
very open mind and consequently a number of unusual beliefs. Luna also
has some unusual habits: putting her wand behind
her ear for safekeeping, wearing odd items as jewelry such as a necklace
of butterbeer corks and radishes
for earrings. As it turns out, the "radishes" are Dirigible Plums,
which the Lovegoods cultivate and believe to "enhance the ability
to accept the extraordinary".
Luna is often the butt of jokes. Her peculiar habits and odd beliefs make
her the target of teasing and ridicule. She is called Loony Lovegood behind
her back. Others steal her possessions all through the year and she is
forced to put up notices on the last day of term, asking for her things
back. Through it all, Luna is surprisingly patient and accepting. She doesn't
fight back or even seem to notice, although she is certainly aware of much
of the teasing. She knows that her nickname is Loony, for example, but
mentions it to Harry in a very matter-of-fact way .
