To me, Percy Weasley is a thistle. I am a hardcore Percy stan, as many people know, and I think Percy and thistles go together quite well.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thistle

Thistles are known for being prickly, harmful, and not the prettiest flowers in the world. I think this is a good representation of Percy. Percy was always seen as being really harsh to everyone around him and rubbing people the wrong way. Even in the flowery kingdom, thistles aren't really included because unlike many other flowers, they are not considered gorgeous or for bouquets, so they are overlooked. Percy was overlooked in his family because he was the quiet, studious one, and the rest of his family were so loud and boisterous he had to stand out the only way he knew how. He didn't always go about it the right way (by being proud of being standoffish) but he had no other choice. He was who he was and he couldn't change it. Also, the spiky, hazardous bits on the thistle are there for protecting the plant against animals and those who want to do it harm, much like Percy's outward personality. Everyone picked on him, so he acted standoffish in order to keep people away. Finally, although thistles aren't normally considered beautiful, they are incredibly colorful and interesting as does Percy.

Ohhh! That really fits. At first, I was skeptical. After your explanation, though, I definitely agree. I have to admit, I don't love Percy. Your description of him is spot on, though.

I especially agree with that part.

Really detailed explanation! :D

It's quite true of Percy. Prickly outward behaviour, tendency to be overlooked. It's a bit sad...

I like this explanation--I also like how your argument is very pro-Percy, yet you picked a plant that people often see as being harmful, since people often see Percy as being harmful. A thistle seems like a perfect plant for him, especially your point about how he acted standoffish to keep people away. It's that prickly exterior of the thistle that fits so well with his personality.

I like this explanation. :D It explains percy's own prickles, and Thistle reminds me of Eeyore. Poor percy, always sticking out as he did.

Wow! That fits Percy perfectly! That description about the flower has a prickly outside that fits Percy very well!
