OVERALLPERSONALITY: Tonks is a very friendly witch. She tends to make friends with most people rather quickly due to her bubbly and upbeat personality. She is very good at first impressions, and tries to make the person she’s meeting feel as comfortable as possible, opening up to them a bit. Though Tonks is very happy, she is also sarcastic. It’s more of a witty,joking kind. When she’s around her mentor, Mad-eyed Moody, her remarks and quick tongue are usually preceded by his very pessimistic, or odd behaviors and warnings. Because she is cheeky, she can sometimes get a bit over-the-top with her sass without meaning to.
The young auror is dead clumsy. She has been known to fall on her face often;obviously she and her feet aren’t the best of friends. As a matter of fact, it almost cost her a passing grade that she needed to have to qualify as an auror.Basically, she gets injured a lot. Another thing that she is not good at is house hold spells. For some reason, they are very hard for her to perform,which is why Molly Weasley never lets her help clean up after Order meetings.That being said, Tonks is not a very tidy person either.
Nymphadora had usually always gotten high marks, even at Hogwarts. But at Hogwarts she was very much a trouble maker, which is precisely the reason she wasn’t given a prefect position in her fifth year. She loves fooling around,probably almost too much for her own good. While she can pipe down and be serious, she’d rather be flying about and having a good time.
As far as habits go, Tonks greets everyone she likes with a bright, “Wotcher.”She has been known to make people laugh whenever she says it, because it’s not too common. This leads to Tonks’ aggravation. She gets annoyed rather easily when she is being stubborn or poked fun at constantly. It doesn’t take her long to get over it, but those few minutes you will be seeing a rather pouty Tonks.

OVERALLHISTORY:
The beginning
Nymphadora Andromeda Tonks was born in Liverpool, England on November 1, 1973 to Andromeda and Theodore Tonks. She was born with a half-blood status, Andromeda being a descendant from the noble hose of Black, and Ted was a muggle born. Tonks would grow up shielded from her mother’s side of the family so she wouldn’t end up hurt, or even ashamed, by her mother’s choices. Though this notion was highly unlikely, Andromeda feared it.
Andromeda had been burned from the family tree once she had told her parents she had fallen in love with a muggle-born and had all intentions of marrying him. She was disowned and would never have contact with her family again. She did feel sad, bringing little Nymphadora into this world with only half a family, but she knew that she had made the right decision marrying Ted.
Ted was very close with his family, and they came to visit him often. Yet, they always seemed to be a bit wiry around him, probably because he was a wizard. His family, as much as they tried to, did not understand magic very well. Ted had always been patient, never questioning why they didn’t understand, figuring he would be quite confused himself.
Anyway, back to Nymphadora. Nymphadora was given her name by Andromeda. Ted chose ‘Andromeda’ after his wife, because Nymphadora looked like her when she was born. Andromeda had just always liked the name Nymphadora.
Within the first few hours of Dora’s birth, her short dark hair had grown down to her shoulder and turned a bubble-gum pink. Andromeda and Ted were both very pleased to discover that their daughter was a metamorphmagus. Though neither had ever seen one before their daughter, they were excited to see what she would be able to do with her special ability.
Childhood (pre-Hogwarts)
The Tonks’ picked up and moved as soon as they could from a muggle neighborhood to a wizarding one, so Dora wouldn’t have to be hidden all the time while she was gaining control of her metamorphic abilities. There, Dora would be safe to play amongst young wizards and witches without the fear of raising suspicion. This seemed to be a good decision, because when she turned one she liked to try and change her appearance when she met someone. Wizarding families had a bit of a weird reaction to her as well, since metamorphmagi were so rare.
As a child, Nymphadora always loved to fool around and have a good time. She easily made friends around her neighborhood, and loved being with the older witches and wizards during the summer. She liked learning about things that they were taught during their time at Hogwarts, especially transfiguration. Hogwarts seemed like such a great place to her, from all the stories she’d heard, and she couldn’t wait to get her letter when she turned eleven. While her mother home-schooled her up until that age, she was always just anxious to get to her future school.
One day during the summer months, she had been playing alone in her back yard, tossing a muggle kickball around and chasing it delightedly. She was anxiously awaiting her Hogwarts letter, and desperately trying to keep her mind off of receiving it. She heard a noise coming from the next door neighbor’s yard. She was about to go over and investigate, but suddenly two people were hovering beside her. Dora looked up at her two friends, Sarah and Dan, who were presently on brooms. They landed next to her with ease, and secretly taught her how to become a really good flier. She was nervous at first, but ultimately became rather good. Flying became her passion, and she soon fell in love with Quidditch, but hid this knowledge from her parents.
****
When she finally got her Hogwarts letter, the young girl was skipping around the house for weeks. One night for dinner, the family of three sat down. “I was in Hufflepuff,” her father said and he dug into his steak.
Nymphadora’s eyes widened, “What are the characteristics for that house, daddy?”
Ted Tonks flashed a smile to his daughter, “Loyalty.”
Andromeda rolled her eyes and patted her daughter’s hand, “Sweetie don’t get your father excited. I was in Slytherin, myself. Cunning, very sly.”
Nymphadora’s eyes widened. From what she had heard from the kinds in the neighborhood, Slytherin was only for the truly evil people. “B-But mum, you aren’t evil are you?”
Andromeda made a face, but Ted cut in before she could even open her mouth, “The Sorting Hat sorts people very early." Your mother is not evil Now I never want you to ask that again, clear?” Little Tonks nodded. “Good,” He shook his head, “Then there is Ravencalw. Very bright witches and wizards are there. Finally, Gryffindor, the house for the brave.” Ted laughed. As the discussion went on, Dora became unsure of which house she belonged in. It worried her and made her even more anxious to see her house at the same time.
Hogwarts
Shopping for school with her mother had been a pain since all she did was cry about her baby growing up so quickly. There were two stores that Tonks was looking forward to going to: Ollivander’s, and the Quidditch shop. She was disappointed when she didn’t go to the Quidditch shop, but was ultimately more interested with her new wand. She had spent at least a half hour waving the wands in the air at the small shop, but none of them seemed to match. When Mr. Ollivander pulled out a wand that was a triangular shape, and hand a thin handle that looked rather uncomfortable, she was afraid to try it out. The wand worked with her perfectly, and its design and shape reflected her painfully obvious uniqueness.
Finally the first day of school was here. Her mother and father both hugged her tightly and kissed her before they let her go on the train. She waved to her parents as her mother wept on her husband’s shoulder.
Dora, as usual, made friends quickly with a lot of the first years (especially Bill and Charlie Weasley), showing off her abilities and just being her normal, and bubbly self. Once she was at Hogwarts, she was sorted into Hufflepuff. She made friends with a lot of the tricksters at school, and loved pulling pranks and not following the rules. Her abilities helped her get away with a lot of things since she could change into anyone at all. However, her abilities did tend her get her bullied a lot for being different.
She was a good student all through her Hogwarts career. She loved flying, and took up Quidditch. She was a Keeper on her house team. When Tonks was in the air, that’s when she was happiest.
In her fifth year, she was informed by her head of house that while she was an excellent student, she wasn’t a prefect because she didn’t properly behave herself. This upset Tonks slightly, but she eventually got over it. She had gotten high enough marks on her NEWT’s to allow her to qualify for Auror training, which is what she so longed to do.
Adulthood
Tonks started auror training with Mad-eyed Moody as her mentor. They soon became rather good friends, and Tonks is often very cheeky towards him. She was great when it came to her disguises, but nearly failed her training because she was so clumsy. Not too long after she graduated, Nymphadora met Sirius Back when she joined the new Order of the Phoenix when it was announced Voldemort has returned. Dora is friends with most of the people in the order, and has even developed a little crush on a certain werewolf.
Nymphadora and Remus started spending a lot of time together when they were off duty from their jobs. It soon became apparent that Nymphadora had fallen in love with Remus when she tried to kiss him. He had fallen in love with her as well, but told her they couldn’t be together. Well, Remus Lupin was utterly mistaken if he thought that was the end of it. Tonks’ life began to change drastically, and she was unable to see Remus for awhile because of her work schedule.
After the battle in the department of mysteries, Tonks had a hard time dealing with Sirius’ death. It didn’t help the fact that she had been dueling her aunt Bellatrix and could have killed her first, before she got to Sirius. No one could really get through to her, except for Remus. This pained Tonks even more though, she loved him very much. He kept rejecting her. Soon, Tonks was no longer able to change her appearance. Many thought this was because of her love for her cousin, Sirius, but Molly Weasley was one of the only people to know this wasn’t the case.
Dumbledore had taught the Order how to use their patronus’ to send messages to other people and it came in handy when she saw Harry just around the time school started. She had found Harry stunned and covered under the invisibility cloak when she was patrolling the Hogwart’s Express on its way back to Hogsmeade Village during his sixth year. They were able to get off of the train, and Tonks escorted Harry to the castle gates. It is then she realized how painfully apparent her cause of depression was becoming when a certain professor informed her that new patronus,a werewolf, looked ‘weak’. With this new patronus change, Tonks is left to face her unrequited love every day.
However, that patronus means much more to her now than it ever had. Tonks was summoned to the first battle of Hogsmeade, which was a bit scary considering it was her first official battle. However, the second Hogsmeade battle is the one that truly haunts this auror. Tonks was protecting a child from a werewolf, and she was bit on the shoulder. She can’t morph them away, and even if her metamorphic abilities were working, such dark magic can’t be hidden. Tonks’ entire world is at stake if anyone finds out. She’d lose her job, and be isolated from society. And this is the lowest that Tonks has ever felt.
