Name: Nymphadora Tonks (aka Tonks or Dora)
Age: 24. Born in 1973.
House: Hufflepuff.
Special Abilities: Tonks is a Metamorphmagus, a shape-shifter who can change her appearance at will. This ability, which is inborn and not acquired, greatly aids her in her role as an Auror. It does not, however, disguise her extreme clumsiness.
Distinguishing Characteristics: Tonks has a pale, heart-shaped face and dark, twinkling eyes. Her ability as a Metamorphmagus allows her to change her appearance at will, although for day-to-day use, she generally confines this to altering the color of her hair. She thought that violet made her look peaky, and so stuck with bright bubble-gum pink for the majority of 1995-1996.
Heritage: Half-blood. Her mother, Andromeda (Black) Tonks, is a pureblood and her father, Ted Tonks, is a Muggle-born.
Family: She is the daughter of Ted Tonks and Andromeda Black Tonks. Hence, she is the niece of Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy and the first cousin once removed of Sirius Black.
First Mention: Order of the Phoenix, chapter three.
