* Nymphadora *
___________________________________________________________

"Don't call me Nymphadora, Remus," said the young witch with a shudder, "it's Tonks."
"Nymphadora Tonks, who prefers to be known by her surname only," finished Lupin.
"So would you if your fool of a mother had called you Nymphadora," muttered Tonks.
-Chapter 3: The Advance Guard, from "The Order of the Phoenix"
____________________________________________________________

Nymphadora Tonks was born in 1973 to Ted and Andromeda Tonks. An only child, Tonks studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Hufflepuff, later on becoming an Auror at the Ministry of Magic and a member of the Order of the Phoenix. A metamorphmagus from birth, Tonks can alter her appearance at will. She is known to be notoriously clumsy and unskillful at household spells.

Falling in love with Remus Lupin in her later years, Tonks becomes very depressed and upset when he is reluctant to return her affections (believing that he was too dangerous for her to be involved with). However, at Dumbledore's funeral, Tonks and Lupin seemed to have resolved their problems and are seen holding hands together, with Tonks's hair a shocking bright pink, signifying that she is happy once again. Marrying in the final book, Tonks and Remus later welcome a son, Teddy Lupin, and name Harry the child's godfather.

Together the couple joined the final battle at Hogwarts against Voldemort and his supporters.

Facts:
-Skills include concealment and disguise.
-Describes herself as being "dead clumsy."
-Finished schooling at Hogwarts in 1991.
-Prefers to be called "Tonks".
-Was also called "Dora" by her father. Remus Lupin also calls her "Dora".
-Owns a Comet 260 broomstick.
-Fan of the band, the Weird Sisters.
-Her Patronus changed to a Werewolf after she fell in love with Remus Lupin and remained that way. (It is unknown what her Patronus was before it changed).

Quotes:
OotP
"Don't put your wand there , boy!" roared Moody. "What if it ignited? Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know!"
"Who d'you know who's lost a buttock?" the violet-haired woman asked Mad-Eye interestedly.
