WELCOME TO THE 3rd
NYMPHADORA TONKS | NATALIA TENA
APPRECIATION THREAD

* 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.

Thanks for the new thread, Lindsay!

I'm sorry I didn't get on in time to start it.

Thanks for the title, Catia!

I love the OP.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 05-07-2013, 01:38 AM

No worries.

I admit the OP needs some makeover so I'll do what I can.

**sweet creature** · 05-07-2013, 01:14 PM

TFTNT!

And no problem on the title, girls. You should thank JKR.

Lindsay, if you want I can help you with that.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 05-07-2013, 08:22 PM

If you're not too busy and have some free time, I'd appreciate it Catia. Of course as always, no rush.

GoddessofYouth · 05-07-2013, 09:30 PM

I'm sure whatever is done to the OP will be awesome.

J.K. Rowling gave Tonks some great lines.

**sweet creature** · 05-09-2013, 02:22 PM

I do, Lindsay.

I could do HP related OPs forever, I love it too much.

Tonks and Molly.

I love that Molly always seemed to understand what was going on with Tonks, especially about Remus.

GoddessofYouth · 05-09-2013, 03:59 PM

I love Tonks & Molly's relationship.

However, it bothers me that quite a few fanfic writers assume Andromeda & Tonks had a terrible relationship because of it.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 05-09-2013, 08:35 PM

I haven't seen that pic of Tonks/Molly ever.

Hmm, how come Andromeda & Tonks would have a terrible relationship because of Molly?

**sweet creature** · 05-10-2013, 03:23 PM

That really doesn't make much sense.

GoddessofYouth · 05-10-2013, 05:16 PM

I guess they assume that because Tonks was confiding in Molly, about her relationship problems with Remus, she couldn't/didn't want to confide in her mother.

It really doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Tonks trusted her mother enough leave Teddy with her, the night of the final battle. I'm guessing she & Remus named Andromeda his guardian.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 05-10-2013, 11:40 PM

Btw, Catia, was Osha in last Sunday's GoT ep?

It would make sense that Andromeda is the guardian. And I don't think Andromeda would harbour ill feelings for Molly either.

Great interview of Nat here:

I agree.

I think Andromeda and Molly became friends after the war ended.

I love that photo.

Nat always gives some of the best interviews.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 05-11-2013, 11:05 PM

And I don't know, I think it isn't in Andromeda's personality to be that way towards other people, in particular Molly. Maybe it's just me but I think she's a good person at heart.

Nat's definitely on the quirky side. She has an outrageous fashion sense which suits her personality.

**sweet creature** · 05-13-2013, 05:16 PM

I agree, she seemed really nice.

Yes, she was on the last two episodes!

Just one scene in each, though.

But on the last one we found out a little more about Osha's background story.
