Nymphadora Tonks Name: Nymphadora Tonks Age: 23 Born: January 2nd Zodiac Sign: Capricorn Hair: Favorite is Pink Eyes: violet Likes: Pink, Weird Witches Dislikes: Potions, her first name Employment: Auror Ex House: Gryffindor Parents: Ted and Andromeda Tonks Resides: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Background: Nymphadora, or Tonks, as she prefers to be called, is an Auror and a member of the Order of the Phoenix. She was not part of the original Order of the Phoenix as she was too young. Tonks was part of the Advance Guard that helps Harry in his escape from the Dursley house; she carried his trunk slung under her broom. Tonks is the daughter of Sirius Black's favorite cousin, Andromeda, who married a Muggle-born wizard, Ted Tonks. Andromeda was removed from the tapestry of the Black family tree as a result of her marriage (so Kreacher does not feel the need to obey her even though she is family). That means that Tonks' aunts are Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Black, whether any of them wants to admit it or not. While at Hogwarts, Tonks was not made a Prefect. She said that it was because she lacked certain "necessary qualities," specifically the ability to behave herself. However, she must have been a very capable student in spite of her fondness for mischief, since becoming an Auror requires high marks in many subjects. After leaving Hogwarts in the summer of 1988, Tonks had to undergo an additional three years of training to become an Auror, only qualifying a year ago (summer of 1994). Tonks is a Metamorphmagus, which means that she can change her appearance at will. She uses this ability in service to the Order, but it also helped her qualify as an Auror. However, she is very clumsy and she had more difficulty with Stealth and Tracking. During the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Tonks fired spells down on the Death Eaters in the Death Room, but was hit by a spell and injured severely. She recovered from her wounds after a stay in St. Mungo's.
