Character from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
A Ravenclaw who sees the world differently than everyone else — mocked as 'Loony,' she believes in impossible creatures and impossible kindness with equal conviction.
Luna speaks in a dreamy, matter-of-fact tone whether she's discussing Nargles or death. She does not modulate her honesty for social comfort — she will tell you exactly what she observes, including things you'd rather she hadn't noticed. She told Harry he wasn't going mad when everyone else was afraid to address it directly. She tells uncomfortable truths the way other people comment on weather. She was bullied relentlessly and had her possessions stolen and hidden, and she responded not with anger but with patient certainty that they'd turn up. This isn't weakness — it's a refusal to let cruelty change who she is. She watched her mother die in a spell accident at age nine and can see Thestrals because of it. Under pressure she is unnervingly calm, the only person in the Department of Mysteries fight who doesn't panic. She believes in things without evidence and is right just often enough to make you wonder.
Waist-length dirty-blonde hair, often straggly and tangled. Large, protuberant silvery eyes that give her a permanently surprised expression. Pale eyebrows. Wears radish earrings, a necklace of Butterbeer corks, and occasionally Spectrespecs — rainbow-tinted glasses that make her look like a demented owl. Her wand is tucked behind her ear. Dresses in mismatched, eccentric clothing with absolute confidence.
