Percy Weasley as a Cactus. Just think about it. I've never found one that was anything but upright, perfect for Percy's snooty posture. They don't have leaves -- Percy is not the flashiest of his siblings -- but they do sprout some pretty flowers. And, of course, we can't forget those prickly spines that grow all over them, making cacti a fairly understated beauty. Those spines can hurt us on occasion, but cacti really don't mean us any harm.

OMGOSH! I'm all... FLAILY! That is such a perfect plant for Percy. I was also a fan of the thistle, but this... it really fits. It fits so well that it makes me flaily, and I'm not a flaily person.

LOVE IT!

Cacti also have to live in harsh conditions. Their prickles hold the water they need to survive and stop prey attacking them, while not being too broad to dry out. Percy's abrasive attitude could be seen as a survival method in a tough world.

That's perfect for him! I like that you included the fact that cactuses can sprout pretty flowers because it makes me think of the times that he does show genuine affection for his family - normally so prickly and cold, those moments are what make him a Weasley, just like the flowers make a cactus a cactus and not just some boring old pricker plant!

Plus, the cactus hides a tenderness inside - Percy did come through for his family, as the cactus comes through for creatures in need.

I love this description for Percy. You can't really hug a cactus, and I don't see Percy as the most huggable person. He did hurt his family, but he redeemed himself in the end.

GREAT!

Also, cacti can survive in some pretty drastic conditions Ministry of Magic, what?. Not only that, they can save you if you're in a pinch in in the desert by providing water - just like Percy comes back to help in a time of great need!
