Overall Personality: Some words to describe Seamus are; hot headed, accident prone, brave, a bit brash, but mostly friendly. He doesn’t really have a favorite season, but he doesn’t like winter because its too cold to really do much. Like most kids, he detests some vegetables. Brussel sprouts, green beans, and cauliflower are not his favorite at all. He has a tiny bit of a sweet tooth. Enough to have 30 chocolate frog cards.
Through his school years, Seamus generally appears good-natured and easy-going. As suggested by his name, Seamus comes from an Irish family. Seamus seems to display traits of more than one Hogwarts house, since the Sorting Hat had to think for almost a minute before deciding to sort him into Gryffindor. Seamus is also very curious, asking Professor Quirrell where did he get his turban, Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington how he could be "nearly headless" and Professor Snape about Inferi.
Of all the boys in Harry's dormitory, Seamus was the least enthusiastic supporter of Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore, often demonstrating skepticism of Harry's claims. He ended up joining Dumbledore’s Army anyways.

History: Born April 23, 1981, Seamus was the son of a Muggle father and a magical mother.[1] He has an older cousin, Fergus, who would frequently Apparate just to annoy him. Seamus had plans to annoy Fergus back, once he passed his Apparition test. Seamus is of Irish descent.
Education at Hogwarts
1st year
"I'm half and half. Me dad's a Muggle; Mam's a witch. Bit of a nasty shock for him when he found out."
Seamus arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on 1 September, 1991. Other students in his year included Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Draco Malfoy. When Professor McGonagall asked the first years to form a line, to head into the Great Hall, Seamus ended up in front of Harry Potter. When Seamus' name was called during the Sorting ceremony, he waited for almost a minute before the Sorting Hat placed him into Gryffindor. After joining the Gryffindor table, Seamus was introduced to House ghost Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, who students often called "Nearly Headless Nick." Seamus asked how one could be "nearly" headless, to which Nick demonstrated by pulling his head off of his neck, which disgusted most of the table.
During his first Potions lesson the next day, Seamus was partnered with Neville Longbottom to brew a Boil-Cure Potion. Neville managed to melt Seamus' cauldron and was drenched in their potion. Professor Snape told Seamus to take Neville to the hospital wing, which he did.
When the Gryffindor first years learned about their first flying lesson with Madam Hooch, Seamus bragged that, in his youth, he spent most of his time flying around the countryside. During Charms class on Halloween morning, Seamus was partnered with Harry to practice the Hover Charm. While practising, Seamus managed to set fire to their feather with his wand, and Harry had to put it out with his hat.
When Harry was preparing for his first Quidditch match, Seamus joined in to try and get Harry to eat something for breakfast. He insisted Harry needed his strength, because Seekers were the most frequent target of physical attacks. Harry acquiesced, and Seamus piled ketchup onto his sausages. Out in the pitch, Seamus joined Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Dean in the top row of seats. When Harry's broom became enchanted by Quirinus Quirrell, Seamus was impressed, as was the rest of Gryffindor, that Harry managed to stay on the broom.
Before leaving Hogwarts for the Christmas holiday, Seamus lent Harry his Wizard's Chess pieces so Harry could learn how to play. After the new year, Seamus returned for his next term. When Neville arrived in Gryffindor Tower with his legs stuck together, Seamus was among those who burst into laughter.
Before getting on the Hogwarts Express to leave for the summer, Seamus, along with the rest of the school, was given a warning not to use magic.
Second year
"They're starting a Duelling Club! First meeting tonight, I wouldn't mind duelling lessons, they might come in handy one of these days..."—Seamus upon seeing the notice board
On 1 September, Seamus boarded the Hogwarts Express to begin his second year at school. When Harry Potter and Ron Weasley arrived at school via Arthur Weasley's flying car, Seamus was one of the students who expressed admiration at the result.
In Gilderoy Lockhart's first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, in which he showed the class a cage of Cornish pixies, Seamus asked if they were dangerous or not. Instead of giving the class a straight answer, Lockhart showed them by letting them loose; most of the class, including Seamus, dove for cover. Seamus was among the students who bolted for the door when the bell rang and escaped the task of putting the pixies back in their cage.
Seamus later attended the first (and only) meeting of Lockhart's Duelling Club. He was partnered with Ron, and at one point, Ron's damaged wand malfunctioned and knocked Seamus to the ground. Ron helped Seamus to his feet, apologising profusely. When Harry and Draco Malfoy were chosen to demonstrate blocking spells, Seamus and the rest of the class learned that Harry could speak with snakes.
3rd year
Seamus: "He's been sighted! He's been sighted! Sirius Black!"
Hermione: "Dufftown? That's not far from here."
Neville: "Do you think he'd come to Hogwarts?"
— Seamus, Hermione Granger, and Neville Longbottom discussing Sirius Black
Hermione: "Dufftown? That's not far from here."
Neville: "Do you think he'd come to Hogwarts?"

A few days before the start of term, Seamus arrived in Diagon Alley to purchase his school books. With Dean Thomas, he saw Harry Potter in Quality Quidditch Supplies, where they were ogling the newly released Firebolt broomstick.
In his first Divination lesson with Sybill Trelawney, the class debated whether or not she had seen a Grim in Harry's teacup. Tilting his head from side to side, Seamus expressed his opinion that, tilted right, the tea leaves did resemble a Grim, but tilted left, it looked more like a donkey. In his first Potions lesson, Seamus told Harry and Ron that Sirius Black, an escaped Azkaban convict, had been spotted near the school. Looking excited, he informed them that a Muggle woman had spotted Black and called the special hot line set up by the Ministry of Magic.
After lunch, Seamus had his first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson with Remus Lupin. When Seamus' turn came to face a Boggart, the creature turned into a banshee with floor-length black hair and a skeletal green face. When the banshee began to shriek, Seamus used the Riddikulus charm to take her voice away; for his participation, Seamus earned five House points. Seamus discussing the appearance of Sirius Black near Hogwarts.
On Halloween, Seamus paid his first visit to Hogsmeade with the rest of the third years. When the Gryffindors learned that Sirius Black had attacked the Fat Lady, they were all sent back to the Great Hall, where they were joined by the other Houses. With the rest of Gryffindor, Seamus was aggravated by the choice of Sir Cadogan to guard the House's portrait hole, calling him a "lunatic." When Seamus complained to Head Boy Percy Weasley, Percy replied that Sir Cadogan was the only one who willingly volunteered.
Along with most of the school, Seamus went home for the Christmas holidays. When he returned, he was impressed that, although anonymously, Harry had received a Firebolt for Christmas. When Harry went down to breakfast the morning of his first Quidditch match with the broom, Seamus served as a "guard of honour" to protect the broom.
When Professor Lupin resigned at the end of the year, after being exposed as a werewolf, Seamus was among the students who was sorry to see him go.
4th year
Bartemius Crouch Jr. (as Alastor Mad-Eye Moody): "You need to know what you're up against! You need to be prepared. You need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides the underside of your desk, Mr. Finnigan!"
Seamus: "No way. The old codger can see out the back of his head."
Bartemius Crouch Jr. (as Alastor Mad-Eye Moody): "And hear across classrooms!"
— Seamus Finnigan and "Mad-Eye" Moody

Over the summer of 1994, Seamus and his mother, along with Dean, attended the Quidditch World Cup between Bulgaria and Ireland. Being Irish, the pair obviously supported the latter; their tent was covered with shamrocks. When Seamus ran into Harry, Ron, and Hermione, they assured him that they would be supporting Ireland, as well. Presumably Seamus was delighted when the Irish National Quidditch team won.
By the start of term, Seamus was still wearing his Ireland rosette; it still called out the names of the Irish players, albeit feebly and exhaustedly. At the Welcoming Feast, Seamus learned that the Triwizard Tournament would be held at Hogwarts that year. Seamus' first day of classes did not sit well with him. In his first class, Herbology, he was required to collect bubotuber pus for Professor Sprout. In his next class, Care of Magical Creatures, he was required to help look after Hagrid's newly bred Blast-Ended Skrewts.
When Harry's name mysteriously came out of the Goblet of Fire, Seamus was among the students who believed Harry had tricked the Goblet into letting him compete. On Christmas Day, Seamus attended the Yule Ball with Lavender Brown.
5th year
Seamus: "Do you believe the rubbish he says about You-Know-Who?"
Ron: "I do. Anyone else with a problem with Harry?"
— Seamus arguing with Ron Weasley about Harry's claim that Lord Voldemort had returned
Ron: "I do. Anyone else with a problem with Harry?"
— Seamus arguing with Ron Weasley about Harry's claim that Lord Voldemort had returned
On his first night back at school, Seamus got into an argument with Harry Potter about the latter's claim of Lord Voldemort's return. A devout reader of the Daily Prophet, Seamus's mother believed what the papers were saying about Harry and Albus Dumbledore, and had been reluctant to allow Seamus to return to school. When Seamus asked Harry what really happened that night, Harry snapped at him to read the Prophet like his mother. When Ron Weasley arrived to break the argument up, Seamus thought that, for believing Harry, Ron was as crazy as Harry was.
After Harry's interview with Rita Skeeter appeared in The Quibbler, Seamus apologised for his behaviour. He told Harry that he now believed Voldemort was back and had sent a copy of Harry's interview to his mother. Seamus and Harry were soon friends again.

Roleplay Sample:
Nick shivered as the breeze started to pick up. The sky started to turn black, when a few seconds ago it was so nice and blue. The water was becoming black too. There was a drizzle and it felt like coins were dropping on your head. Was this what they called calm before the storm? Nick wondered, and then the rain started to pour like bowling balls. People were running to get inside. Nick stood up and was almost knocked over by a gust of wind, it felt like someone had used an iron fist and punched him in all his abdomen organs at once. The grass was started to become dirty as the dirt turned into mud. Nick shouted over the roar of the rain "Yeah lets go" then grabbed Leann's hand as a loud BOOM of thunder erupted and lighting flashed, the storm has hit full force. It felt like the entire underworld was about to break out through the puddles of mud. Nick hoped not though.
The castle was looking almost ominous at that moment. Nick started to wonder who angered Demeter and Mother Nature. Nick was running but suddenly realized, he’d let go of Leann. The trees started to blow sideways. The whomping willow swung angrily, almost as if it would jump out of the ground and attack innocent bystanders. Nick was running still but his thoughts were broken when he slipped and slammed his head hard on a rock. The whole world turned to black.
