TONKS, NYMPHADORA

House: Hufflepuff 1984-1991

Appearance: Tonks has a pale, heart-shaped face and dark twinkling eyes. She is a Metamorphmagus, which means that she can change her appearance at will, although for day-to-day use she generally confined this ability to altering the colour of her hair.
As a Metamorphmagus, Tonks can alter her appearance at will, not only as a phenomenal gift in the art of disguise for her line of work but for the lighter purposes of experimenting with her appearance and entertainment. Her "natural" hair colour is mousy brown. She can be seen at times wearing a purple t-shirt with The Weird Sisters' logo on it and heavily-patched jeans.

Dementor: Tonks's worse memory is from from Hogwarts as a student there. Some people had got together (mostly Slytherins) to bully her about her Metamorphmagus. Some saying it was a curse, a illness while others were trying spells on her to see what she really looked like.

Relationship status: Currently Single
Turn ons: Caring, kind, fighter, good-natured.
Turn offs: Bad smell, Dark Arts user, younger, men shorter then her.
Personality: Tonks is enthusiastic and bubbly, and able to make friends with people she has just met. She is eager, and often wants to help Molly Weasley in the preparation of dinner at Grimmauld Place.
At first Tonks seemed like any young and slightly rebellious witch - she wears Weird Sisters t-shirts, had patched jeans and brightly-coloured hair, and she greets people with a carefree "Wotcher!". Beneath the cheery exterior, however, lays a dedicated and fiercely moral woman and a highly-talented young Auror.
She is not good at household spells and is also notoriously clumsy, smashing a plate in the Dursley's kitchen during their rescue of Harry, and knocking over an umbrella stand in Grimmauld Place that sets off the painting of Walburga Black.
Mother: Andromeda Tonks (née Black), 42, Unknown, Pure-Blood.
Nymphadora Tonks and her mother are close, though Tonks disliked the given name her "fool of a mother" gave her, Andromeda worries over her daughter with her part in the war
Father: Ted Tonks, 42, Unknown, Muggle-Born.
Nymphadora was nickamed "Dora" by her father. They most likely have a close relationship and both Ted and his daughter have the tendency to be untidy and disorganized.
Siblings: None
Other important figures: Sirius Black, 35/36, None, Pure-Blood.
Tonks's only other real family as the rest are on Voldemort's side. Sirius is friendly with Tonks as she is to him. It's possible that Sirius had met a very young Nymphadora just before his Imprisonment.
Birth place: UK
Overall history: 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 Lestrange, whether any of them wants to admit it or not.
Tonks began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1984, and was Sorted into Hufflepuff House. Although never made a Prefect due to her inability to behave. 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, she left school in 1991.
Undergoing three years of Auror training under the tutelage of Alastor Moody, Tonks' natural metamorphic abilities allowed her to easily pass the Concealment and Disguise portion of the training. However, her clumsiness gave her trouble with the Stealth and Tracking portion of the course. Tonks fully qualified as an Auror in 1994.
With the return of Lord Voldemort in 1995, Tonks was one of the few Ministry employees to be convinced of the truth rather than accept the Ministry line that he had not returned. She joined the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix, and, alongside Kingsley Shacklebolt, worked as a covert operative inside the Ministry, feeding the Order with information. Tonks has to be careful around the Ministry, though, as indiscreet actions would have see her lose her position as an Auror.
