HEADCANONS
ted is the oldest of the two children adopted by the tonks family. Ted’s father was a muggleborn and decided when he was young that he was going to adopt other muggleborn children and give them a good life where they didn’t have to be confused about their powers and could feel truly loved.
ted was taught from a young age to be loving and accepting of all people. transitioning to the wizarding world was hard due to this because not everyone was accepting of him due to his blood status. he’s always trying to not let it impact him, but sometimes it’s a struggle.
ted went to the wizarding world a couple of times every year when he was younger. adjusting to hogwarts and magic was slightly easier due to this but being surrounded by magic all of the time was still weird.
ted has one of the biggest hearts ever. he would do almost anything for anyone even at the expense of himself. he just likes helping other people and making them happy. this does leave him with a tendency to talk to people way too much in a very rambly way as once he starts talking he has trouble stopping.
ted absolutely adores animals, especially cats. he currently has a couple month old cat that he has named stanley. he loves showing his cat off to people whenever they ask or whenever he’s feeling cuddly and cute.
ted has a horrible tendency of saying really cheesy jokes. he learned them from his dad and uses them to try and cheer people up. they’re super cheesy and dumb but he loves them.
ted was a hat stall between gryffindor and hufflepuff. he sat there for like five minutes before the hat sorted him into gryffindor. at the time he had no clue what the meant, but he soon realized that it was the place for him and he really loved it.
ted had been in a lot of relationships. he falls for people really easily due to having such a big heart, but none of his relationships have ever lasted more than a couple of months because he tends to get freaked out when things get serious.
ted started playing quidditch when he was in fifth year. he didn’t expect to make the team but then once he did he found it was a total confidence boost and that it got him a lot of attention from people. when he was made captain he felt extremely proud of himself and it is definitely his biggest accomplishment to date.
ted is incredibly bright and always trying to tutor the younger students with their students. he wants to teach at hogwarts after he graduates as he’s very passionate about it.
honestly just a big dork with a big heart, but also very easily overwhelmed by life and sometimes needs a break.
