| Bio: | YOU NAME: Piper CHARACTER NAME: Nymphadora Nomia Tonks FANDOM: Harry Potter AGE: 24 ALIGNMENT (GOOD, EVIL, NEUTRAL): Good BRIEF BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Tonks was born into what could have easily been a charmed life, but because her father was a muggle-born, her mother, Andromeda, was blasted off of the Black Family Tree, which in the Black family was considered to be the highest of insults. The matriarch of the Black Family (Sirius Black's mother) blasted Andromeda off of the family tree for marrying Ted Tonks, though Andromeda always suspected it had less to do with the fact that she'd married Ted and more to do with the fact that she was very obviously in love with the man. Between that and her basic defiance of all that the Blacks were and stood for, Andromeda left and so Nymphadora Tonks was born into a family where she had only her mother and father, for most aunts, uncles, and cousins refused to acknowledge Andromeda's existence. If you ask her mother to reminisce about Tonks' childhood, she would tell you that the girl was a very interesting baby to have around the house. Her metamorphmagus abilities emerged before her general magical abilities and her parents weren't actually quite sure what she really looked like for awhile. She was constantly switching her features around, from the littlest things like changing the shape of just her ears to changing her entire face. They realised quickly that their daughter was a Metamorphmagus, but neither had experience in controlling such powers. Her childhood was fast turned into a trial and error experiment as her parents worked to set about teaching her to control that, figuring that they needed to get that ability under control before she figured out how to levitate the family dog. She figured out how to levitate the family dog around the age of seven. Between that and her inability to behave herself for long periods of time, Tonks was a handful to raise. She took a shine to her much older cousin Sirius and spent a good deal of time following him around when she could (and when he would tolerate it), for she was of the opinion that he was a good deal more fun to be with than his younger brother Regulus. Not to mention he was some of the only family on her mother's side that she had who would speak to her (something that she grew to resent once she was old enough to realize that a good chunk of her mother's family hated her on principle). Her father's family, the Tonks', were alright, she thought, but they still were muggles and thus sometimes less exciting. It is thanks to her muggle family, though, that she has the appreciation for muggle life that she does. She went away to Hogwarts at age eleven like all good English witches and wizards do, and was sorted into Hufflepuff, much to her surprise. After awhile she decided that that being loyal wasn't such a bad quality to have and settled in nicely to her house. She made friends with some of her fellow Hufflepuffs, though her best friend was a girl from Ravenclaw who was often dragged around on some of Tonks' more 'adventerous' ideas. She liked very much to have fun and bounce around the castle, trying to be clever and coy with her schemes, but she'd always been clumsy and just all around generally not stealthy. So she spent more time being caught by Filch than actually pulling anything off successfully. Studying for and taking her OWLs caused her to hunker down for the first time and try to figure out what she was going to once she left Hogwarts in two years time. The answer didn't come immediately and during her sixth year she signed up for a number of elective classes to try and figure out what she wanted to do. It turned out to be all in vain when, in fact, her interest in Defense Against the Dark Arts remained as true as it had ever been and she quietly slipped out of the other classes she'd signed up for (who really needed Care of Magical Creatures?) and concentrated on that. It paid off, and she did remarkably well in her DADA NEWTs, well enough in everything she needed to apply for auror training once she'd graduated. The first war was over and so the need for aurors was considerably lower than it had been in the past, but Tonks was accepted into the program. Because the pay was so low she also took a job as an assistant cum secretary for the head of the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects so that she could gain some experience within the ministry just in case things with auror training didn't go so well. And, for awhile, it didn't seem as if it would go so well. As gifted with protection spells and charms as she was, Tonks couldn't deny the problems that she and her four limbs had with understanding each other sometimes. Being relatively uncoordinated was proving to be a problem when it came to things such as stealth and tracking, and she had to work doubly hard to pass in the subjects pertaining to such. She passed her tests just in time, it seemed. Her first year on the job full time was filled with excitement, almost immediately. She was sent to the scene of terror at the Quidditch World Cup, set in charge of trying to round up any suspects and retrieving the poor muggle family that was floating up in the sky. Things only became more complicated just a few months later when Harry Potter returned from the giant maze at the end of the Triwizard Tournament touting his classmate's dead body and claiming that he had seen Voldemort reborn. The Order was reformed soon after and Tonks joined with recommendation from her fellow aurors.
