Nymphadora Tonks, better known as Tonks, is a character who apepars in Harry Potter. She was the wife of Remus Lupin and the mother of their son, Edward "Teddy" Lupin.

After leaving Hogwarts, Tonks joined the Ministry of Magic and trained to become an Auror under the watchful eye of Alastor Moody, qualifying in 1994. In 1995, she joined the second Order of the Phoenix, working undercover in the Ministry and helping to guard the Department of Mysteries. On 18 June 1996, she fought in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.

At some point, Tonks fell in love with Remus Lupin, married and and had a son Teddy Lupin.

Personality[]

Nymphadora Tonks was a brave, intelligent individual who joined the Aurors and Albus Dumbledore's order of the Phoenix. She also hated being referred to by her full name, referring to be addressed by her last name. The only people she allowed to call her "Dora" were her parents and her husband. She also had a laid back personality so much that she greeted Harry with just a wink. She lacked her maternal relatives' prejudice views on Muggles or humanoid species, having fallen in love with a werewolf. She was also a loyal and supportive of both Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore's claims that Lord Voldemort and his followers were returning.

Despite her short time as a mother, Tonks loved Ted Lupin and both she and Lupin made Harry Potter their son's godfather. Despite her short time as a mother, Dora was excited at the prospect of having a child. However she was afraid of doing it alone because she was concerned for Remus when he feared their child would inherit his lycanthrope. To their relief, however, Teddy actually inherited his mother's morphing powers.
