Nymphedora Tonks

Nymphadora Tonks more commonly known as Tonks, occasionally Dora, was a British half-blood witch and a Metamorphmagus. She was the only child of Ted and Andromeda Tonks (née Black). Tonks attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was Sorted into Hufflepuff House. She was in the same year at Hogwarts as Gryffindor Charlie Weasley his brother Bill Weasley, Rowan Khanna, Squiggly Squinquargesimus.

Hogwarts
Tonks began her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Hufflepuff House at the Sorting ceremony. Being the daughter of the ostracised Andromeda Tonks, she was rejected by the pure-blood supremacists of the House of Black.

Third year
This was the first year in which students were able to take at least two elective classes, one of them being Divination. Also in that school year, at the start of the Herbology lesson on Valerian Sprigs, Tonks warned people to watch out, for she spilled some soil on the floor. When the Herbology Professor, also her Head of House, Pomona Sprout, asked fellow Housemate Penny Haywood to fetch a pail for the watering demonstration, Tonks took the time to briefly wonder aloud about which plant being most suitable for bothering a certain "irritable, birdlike" librarian. The musing was cut short by Penny's scream, and the class realized in shock that a supposed werewolf burst out of a pot. Professor Sprout took care of the situation by casting the Boggart-Banishing Spell and introduced the class to what a Boggart was. As Professor Sprout left to report the incident to Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Tonks asked Squiggly Squinquargesimus in puzzlement about Penny's fear, implying she didn't understand why Penny's worst fear would be werewolves. Before the start of the lesson on "rolling" in the Flying class, Tonks chatted excitedly with Rowan Khanna and Squiggly, for as third years, they would finally get to go to Hogsmeade. She was especially looking forward to visiting Zonko's Joke Shop and Honeydukes, along with having Butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks Inn. After the lesson, she revealed she had crashed into the Owlery, the Astronomy Tower, the Whomping Willow, and Rubeus Hagrid's garden, but that apparently was a few crashes fewer than her average. Tonks later revealed that she had often gotten detentions for turning into teachers using her Metamorphmagus abilities.

When revisiting an old lesson in Herbology, re-potting baby Mandrakes, Tonks forgot her earmuffs and resorted to rolling some Jelly Slug and sticking them in her ears, which proved to be sub-optimal, for not only was she not affected by the screaming Mandrakes; after class, she also could not properly converse with Squiggly, due to being unable to hear.

Fourth year
At some point, Tonks self-taught herself the Patronus Charm, even when it is a highly advanced skills. She later saved Squiggly from a Dementor, after Penny was knocked out by one. She was then able to teach Squiggly the same spell.

One night in her fourth year, Tonks took the biggest Venomous Tentacula from Sprout's greenhouse. She attempted to put it under Filch's desk, but fell on her face on the way, accidentally tossing it into the Potions Classroom. The plant ended up grabbing Professor Severus Snape. He and Sprout agreed to give Tonks daily detention until the end of her school days, but Sprout gave her the chance to not get detention if she managed to pass a special Herbology test.

Tonks studied for the test in the Hogwarts Library, where she came across Squiggly. Tonks told them what had happened and the two agreed to study together.

Guards of the unknown
Tonks was one of the earliest members thanks to her close friendship with Squiggly. Tonks joined the guards and was known as the jokster often using dungbombs and tricks to help the other guards with the Cursed vaults.

Later life
Tonks eventually married Remus Lupin and they had a son Teddy Lupin, Both parents helped Teddy to the station where they stood together with Andre Edwu, Squiggly, Barnaby Lee, and Ben Copper.

Nyphedora helped fight the second war together with Bill Weasley, Charles Weasley, and Squiggly. Tonks and Remus both died in the war leaving their friends and family heartbroken and their son orphaned.

Magical abilities and skills

 * Non-verbal magic: Tonks was capable of performing non-verbal magic, including advanced charms. For instance, she was able to duel several skilled Death Eaters without saying a single word. This testifies to her being a skillful powerful witch, as non-verbal magic is very difficult.
 * Auror Skills: Tonks was rather young for an Auror and the last person to become a fully fledged Auror before Harry Potter was accepted, which spoke for her considerable magical skills. However, her clumsiness gave her trouble with the Stealth and Tracking portion of the course, as she almost failed for this. Her work position required proficiency in the practical application of magic and exceptional marks at school highlighted her abilities as a witch. Besides this, her father noted that she had been in several sticky situations in her time as an Auror and had always found a way to emerge from them unscathed.
 * Dueling: As an official Dark Wizard catcher, Tonks dueling talents were naturally considerable and her reflexes were very fast, despite her clumsiness sometimes gave her trouble at work. She fired a stunning spell at top Death Eater Lucius Malfoy, though it should be noted that he was caught off guard and it is unknown if it actually hit him. She was capable of dueling Thorfinn Rowle to a stalemate despite him rapidly fired spells at her before Harry Potter hit him with a hex. Tonks survived her first two encounters with the most powerful lieutenant of Lord Voldemort, her aunt Bellatrix Lestrange. Despite being defeated by her aunt during the first encounter, she was able to duel her for a significant period of time. During her second encounter with her aunt, she was able to duel her aunt to a standstill in a mid-air battle between the two and injured Bellatrix's husband, Rodolphus Lestrange, at the same time albeit with help from Ron Weasley. However, Tonks was ultimately murdered by Bellatrix during the Battle of Hogwarts, though she just had recovered from giving birth and it is unknown what the nature of this encounter was.
 * Metamorphmagus: Unlike most other wizards and witches, Tonks possessed the ability to change her physical appearance at will, without the need for a potion or a spell to assist. With simply a thought, she was capable of changing her facial features, nose shape, and even the color of her hair and eyes or even her entire form. Tonks used this ability both to entertain people and to stop people from recognizing her, as evidenced by her ability to take the form of Professor Binns, a ghost. Tonks's rare skill was invaluable for espionage, as she worked as a covert operative inside the Ministry to feed the Order information and disguised as an old woman to escort Harry at Hogwarts Express. She also passed the Disguise and Concealment portion of her Auror training without any studying.
 * Transfiguration: As an Auror, Tonks would have achieved an N.E.W.T. in this subject as well, since Aurors frequently have to transfigure and un-transfigure things in their line of work. She achieved "Outstanding" in this subject.
 * Charms: Tonks demonstrated considerable talent in charm-work. In 1995, she effectively cast a Scouring Charm to clean Hedwig's cage, another charm to pack Harry's belongings before leaving Privet Drive, and the Stunning Spell against Lucius Malfoy. She was also able to effectively cast the Shield Charm as a means of protection. Furthermore, Tonks could cast a corporeal Patronus, which is an incredibly advanced piece of magic, by the time she was in her fourth year in Hogwarts. Besides this, she was one of only a handful of people who knew how to use a Patronus as a means of communication.
 * Defense Against the Dark Arts: A natural performer in defensive magic, Tonks proved this ability as an Auror and Order of the Phoenix member, including counter-curses as she could remove a Full Body-Bind Curse. She knew how to check if a door had an Imperturbable Charm on it, by flicking objects at the door in question, teaching this skill to Ginny Weasley. Seen as though a N.E.W.T. in the subject is a mandatory requirement for Auror training, she likely achieved excellent results at both O.W.L. and N.E.W.T level.
 * Flying: Tonks was a great broomstick flyer, as demonstrated by her escorting Harry from the Dursleys' house along with the Order. She was even able to emerge unscathed from a duel fought on a mid-air broomstick against her aunt, who was also proficient in flying in broomstick.
 * Apparition: Like most adult wizards and witches, Tonks was capable of Apparating successfully at will. In 1996, after visiting Molly Weasley, she left by Disapparating.
 * Healing magic: In 1996, Tonks effectively used the healing spell Episkey to fix Harry's nose when it was broken, showing she was skilled with medical magic.
 * Potions: Tonks had achieved a N.E.W.T. in the subject, considering how knowledge of poisons and antidotes are essential studies for Aurors. She must have earned an "Outstanding" in her O.W.L. exam since she was taught by Severus Snape, and had earned an 'Outstanding' on her N.E.W.T. exam.
 * Herbology: As an Auror, Tonks would have had to have achieved an "Outstanding" in her O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. in this subject, considering how Aurors often have to handle dangerous magical plants in their work.
 * Divination: Tonks possessed considerable proficiency and knowledge in the field of Divination, as she earned an "Exceeds Expectations" in the subject at O.W.L. level that allowed her to study it further at N.E.W.T. level.
 * Detective Skills: As an Auror, Tonks was an effective detective, intelligent, and able to make logical deductions. For example, she quickly found Harry immobilized on the Hogwarts Express based on subtle clues. Additionally, she was able to carefully fulfill her duties to the Order without jeopardizing her career at the Ministry.
