The Character
Name: Nymphadora Tonks
Nicknames (if any): Tonks (call her anything else at your own risk)
Job Title: Auror & informal member of the RRL
Age: 21
Blood: Half-blood
Wand: Ivy, nine inches, phoenix feather
Personality: On first impressions Tonks can be described as a breath of fresh air who wears her heart on her sleeve. The rebel with the outlandish appearance, Tonks can always be relied on to be the life of the party, the heart of any team (even if she is a little bit clumsy), and forever the optimist. She has a passion for action and adventure and strongly believes in fighting for those who deserve justice, rather than just those she is told to fight for. This, predictably, leads to a lot of conflict. Mainly due to the fact that Tonks is an Auror – a job which makes choosing sides somewhat difficult.
While most of her colleagues have faith in the Ministry’s judgment and follow the rules accordingly, Tonks prefers to determine the guilty from the innocent in her own time and with gut instinct, making her very cunning. On more than one occasion she has been known to betray her fellows for the sake of those who have been wrongly judge, and rarely does she not see a person for who they truly are.
Appearance: As a Metamorphmagus Tonks can assume many different appearances. Her actual appearance is that of a pretty, young woman with a pale, heart-shaped face and dark, twinkling eyes.
History: Tonks has an extensive family, some members of whom she isn’t exactly fond of, and vice versa. Tonks is viewed by all but her immediate family and equally wayward cousin as an impure blood traitor, a label that she wears with pride.
An ex-Hufflepuff and Quidditch player, Tonks excelled during her school days and always knew she would be an Auror. Many believed she was too misbehaving and accident-prone to be anything other than a rather inapt curse-breaker for Gringotts, but with a head full of determination and a grudge against a certain bunch of Slytherins, Tonks is where she is today – and in a right mess.
Stationed at Hogwarts along with several other Aurors, Tonks has already discovered the whereabouts of the infamous Red Rose League. For the most part she agrees with their views, but their unwavering hate and goal of bringing down the Ministry in its entirety has left her drawn between joining their cause, and turning them in...
