I'm not fond of introducing myself, I never quite know what to say aside from "Hi my name is Luna Lovegood." Maybe it's because of the snickers that soon follow after announcing my last name. My family isn't exactly known for their bravery like so many wizarding families that frequent our universe are. Upon hearing my name, people automatically associate me with my father Xenophillius Lovegood. Which isn't quite fair, for I haven't been around my father since I was seven years old. You've probably heard of him, either by someone making snide remarks or by reading the Quibbler. Although between you and me? If you frequently read that particular newspaper and then choose to bash it or my father, does that not make you at least a little hypocritical? I'm not the kind of person to judge others or even give in to the mindless teasing I've acquired over the years. If you attend Hogwarts I'm sure you've heard the name "Loony Lovegood" at some point or another. That might sound insulting to you, but if people want to blatantly tease me for my beliefs in things they find odd? That's their prerogative. It doesn't bother me, in fact it has quite the opposite affect, for it tends to make me laugh. People tease or poke fun at someone for one of two reasons; one, they are trying to follow the crowd or two they want to feel better about themselves. Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure, I don't need to follow others I walk my own path, and I don't need to feel better about myself because there is nothing wrong with me.

I spent the better part of my childhood with my wonderful mother Larissa Lovegood. She has always been very nurturing and supportive, never once disapproving in her daughter's chosen paths. I really couldn't ask for a better mother.

I mentioned before that I haven't seen my father since I was seven years old. I wish I could tell you some impressive story, but alas it isn't that kind of fairytale. The truth is, we don't know where he is. One day he quite literally disappeared off the face of the earth. The only connection I have with him now is through reading the Quibbler, but then again I have no idea if it's really him writing the stories or not. I used to be extremely bitter about the whole ordeal, now though I just hope where ever he is he's happy.

I'm currently in my 7th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During my 5th year of school I was given the honor of being a prefect, and this year I was named head girl for Ravenclaw house. Although, I'm not quite sure how in Merlin's name that happened given the trouble I tend to find myself getting into. Maybe Dumbledore thought if he put me in that position it would give me some incentive to stop defying the rules so often. And why yes I do still spend some of my free time hunting Nargles, feeding Thestrals and as always rocking the radish ear-rings.
