Personality;
George Weasley is not typically known as just George Weasley. More often than not, he is "and George Weasley," one half of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's infamous, inseparable prankster duo Fred and George Weasley. Talented and mischievous, the Weasley twins make an excellent team of tricksters. The two are closer than close. Very rarely are they not in sync, naturally bouncing jokes off of each other and completing each others' sentences. They're always up for a crazy scheme or practical joke, both at their own expense and at the expense of others.
The Weasley twins are similar in a lot of ways. They're both troublemakers who are good at making mischief, and will take any and all opportunities to do so. Where one twin is, the other will surely follow. Crazy scheme, joke, trick, or otherwise, the Weasley twins are in it together, for better or worse. In the disciplinarian's office, they have a whole drawer filled with files dedicated to their many misdemeanors at Hogwarts. Risk takers, the Weasley twins don't know the definition of impossible. In Order of the Phoenix, Ginny says, "The thing about growing up with Fred and George is that you sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve." Ginny, Ron, and even Harry frequently set Fred and George as a standard for what's possible. If they can't do it, no one can. They bet their entire life savings at the Quidditch World Cup on a scenario that no one but them believed possible, and won. Their ability to take such great risks is directly tied to their overwhelming confidence in themselves. Together, they believe they can do anything. They tested all their potentially dangerous Weasley's Wizard Wheezes products on themselves and took an aging potion together fool an age line created by Dumbledore himself in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Their determination knows no bounds, and their success rate isn't too shabby either.
Of course, their determination is limited only to what they enjoy. They love their joke shop, making mischief, and Quidditch, so naturally, they put all their effort into those things. When it comes to things like school, though, despite their brilliance, the twins' grades are lackluster at best. They may be quite intelligent and fairly perceptive, but if they don't think something concerns them, or is worth their time, they write it off entirely. For instance, they don't find Peter Pettigrew's name appearing on the Marauder's Map strange or worth mentioning (keep in mind, Pettigrew was supposedly dead at the time, killed in a well-known incident). In the words of J.K. Rowling herself, "Fred and George would have only been focused on the path their mischief took that day." In this way, both Fred and George can be self-centered. They don't pay attention to what they believe doesn't apply to them, or even if it does, but they don't like it.
Impatient and impulsive when angered, the Weasley twins aren't always in control of their emotions. When Draco Malfoy insults their family, Fred and George are quick to ready their fists, and when their younger brother Ron sticks his nose in their business, the two immediately snap at him. When tragedy comes their way, they get frustrated and want the details here and now. The two are quick to retaliate, even when it comes to Quidditch. If you've attempted to hurt their team, expect a bludger to come flying at your head before you can say "duck." Once you've wronged them, don't expect forgiveness to come easily. Percy's first return visits to the Weasley family after his betrayal, ended badly, and with mashed potatoes being thrown, at one point. An annoyed Weasley twin is not someone you want to mess with, unless you enjoy biting remarks. They can also be too confident, getting cocky and taking risks that are too risky.
Generally, though, the Weasley twins are easygoing and friendly. They're always laughing and joking, in the best and worst of situations. They remain positive despite grim circumstances. They are charming and likable, with a positive, determined outlook to boot. Occasionally, their tricks get out-of-hand, but for the most part, they always know where to draw the line. They keep moving forward, and they do it with smiles on their faces. The two remain upbeat and cheerful, even in the face of danger. They try to keep things light, and always have some sort of witty quip up their sleeves. Their goal in life is to make people laugh, after all.
Fred and George do have their differences, however. In fact, George is first introduced as a separate unit from Fred.
The first time we readers meet George is coincidentally the first time a wizard child shows kindness to Harry. George is considerably more perceptive when it comes to people than his twin brother. He always notices when Harry is confused about a wizard custom or accepted truth, or when Hermione is having misgivings about the latest Weasley twin patented plan. George understands people better than his brother. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, after Molly finds out Ron and the twins stole their father's flying car to rescue Harry, Fred uses a practical argument as his defense ("No one could've seen us! It was cloudy! We flew high!"), whereas George defends their decision using a more emotional, and ultimately, more effective argument ("Harry's our friend! They were starving him, mum!"). In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Oliver Wood gives a speech about the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, making sure to compliment every member of the team except himself, who he dismisses as average. When he does that, George jumps in to compliment and encourage him too, realizing Oliver needed it. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, George is the one to reassure Harry that fainting on the train is "no big deal." Rather than make a joke about Harry's fall off his broom, like Fred does, he first makes sure Harry's alright. He's the kinder twin, to a certain extent. J.K. Rowling said, in regards to the later death of Fred Weasley, “Fred is normally the funnier but also the crueller of the two, so they [the fans] might have thought that George would be the more vulnerable one and, therefore, the one to die..."
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Fred drives the flying car while George navigates. This metaphor of driver and navigator describes them perfectly. While Fred typically instigates whatever scheme the two have come up with (Jumping past the age line first in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, for example), George is never far behind him. Fred dives in, but George makes sure he doesn't drown. George stops Fred from going too far. He's more aware of the consequences of their actions. Warning Fred that blackmailing Ludo Bagman is serious business, for instance. Keep in mind, of course, that though George may be the more responsible one, that's in comparison to his brother Fred. Both are typically irresponsible, and George is only slightly more careful. Once the ball is rolling and a plan is in motion, the two are on the same wavelength and their involvement is 50/50. Fred leads, but George is incredibly quick to follow.
Both twins are loyal and brave no matter what. They're stubborn, simply refusing to not be allowed to be part of the order and protect their family. When Harry's in trouble in Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets (both when he's stuck at his aunt and uncle's, and when half the school thinks he's a mass murderer), the twins jump to his rescue, with a flying car and good-natured jokes at the ready. They'll never abandon or betray anyone they care about, though they may tease them unashamedly.

[The video feed clicks on, revealing a very curious (and very confused) looking ginger. He blinks at his bracelet for a good while before realizing he finally got it to work.
He grins widely. Tally the score, ladies and gents. That's George: 1, Muggle tech: 0]
Right then, hulloooo? Is this thing [what's the muggle word] on? On, yeah, that's it.
George Weasley here, at your service, or, well, requesting service. See, I seem to have lost my brother. He's tall, ginger, absolutely barking, and looks like me, but his nose is a tad crooked.
--Don't tell him I said that. I reckon it'd be a right blow to his self-esteem if he realized I was the better looking twin, even if it is common knowledge. Now, anyone want to fill me in on what's really going on? I mean, I talked to the bloke, Loki, who seems to at least be in charge of my new house, but there's been a mistake. See, I'm a Gryffindor, brave and true. I may have graduated in a sense, but I just don't think I could align myself with any other house. Not to mention, I'm also kind of a package deal. Fred and George. George and Fred. Who knows what sort of mischief Fred'd get up to without my voice of reason. Why, I shudder to think of it!
That reminds me, Fred, if you're, er, seeing or hearing this, I was only joking about the nose thing. Y'know, mostly. [His smile falters. Fred, you better be listening.] Meet me behind the castle, alright? And don't take your time, slowpoke.
