NAME: Nymphadora Tonks NICKNAME:Tonks, Tonkatoy AGE/BIRTHDAY: 18/ May 2, 1996 SEXUALITY: Heterosexual FAMILY: Andromeda (Mother) and Edward (Father) YEAR: N/A SPORTS:N/A CLUBS:N/A |
APPEARANCE: If you take away the color, Tonks is extraordinarily plain. She had nothing flashy or stunning that would catch someone’s attention. That is entirely her charm. The woman embraces her distinct lack of exquisite flair. She is not, by any means, unattractive, but she is simply very common. Something she has learned to accept. She has a long, narrow face with equally-long nose and a high forehead. She has bug-eyes that are a medium brown and almost tan at times. She has thin eyebrows and eyelashes she fills in daily. Her lips are thin and long with a wide smile of straight but large from years of dentistry. She has a scar under her lip from falling off a horse and biting through the skin at 12. Her nose is pierced in the left nostril and her ears have the lobes pierced three times and four cartilage piercings together. She is rather pale and her hair is naturally a mousy brown and long. She used to cut it short when she was little until her features lost the baby fat and she started looking weird. It has grown out to below her shoulders and is slightly layered. Her hair is possibly the loudest thing about her. Build wise, there is not really much to say. According to Youtube, there are more attractive people shaped like twelve-year-old boys to look at. It’s a cruel but fairly accurate description of her form. She is just shy of flat-chested with little to no hips and strangely defined thighs and calves from horseback riding. Her arms are think and almost like willow branches. For all the slightness about her, Tonks is anything but graceful and her skin is littered with scars that tell her tale. She falls a lot and is usually covered in bruises—most she didn’t know existed. She is very leggy in a quite awkward way. Her lack of real curves sometimes makes it hard to find where her legs end and hips begin, but that is not what makes her feel uncomfortable about herself. She hates the way she can’t put on weight and is often told she is anorexic and needs help for it, even though she truly eats like a whole football team of teenage boys. Her style is really what makes her unique to look at. She is colorful, best way to describe it. She likes accessories, a-symmetry and patterns. Her best friends are bracelets, rings, colorful shoes, knee-high socks and cowboy boots. She doesn’t really follow what the newest trend is because nothing makes her really feel comfortable that way. Most things make her seem too thin or gangly or just won’t fit right. She wears a lot of crop-tops and shorts with fun belts when she is not in the mood to deal with colors. But really, it’s all about that hair. Most of the time it’s pink (or many shades of pink), but it has been lavender, purple, rainbow, blue, green… just about everything. She doesn’t think that she is cool because she colors her hair, she simply feels more natural in pink. Style 1 Style 2 |

DETAILED PERSONALITY: D- Dedicated Dora never goes half-way to anything she does in life. The girl does not know what half power means, and it is possibly one of the most endearing qualities about her. Whether it is as hard as passing her NEWTs to something as simple as picking the right flowers from the field, the girl does not do the bare minimum. The bare minimum to her is 100 percent all the time. Where some people expect her to burn out in the enthusiasm and passion, she finds the difficulty encouraging. She is spurred on by obstacles. She knows she has some shortcomings, and they are things she has dealt with her whole life. While they could be discouraging, she only sees a reason to keep going. Her life is never spent trying to prove herself to anyone. It is spent in the pursuit of her own satisfaction in work. From a house of hard workers who prefer the shadows, Dora stands out for more than her colourful hair. She may not seek praise, but she will not shy away from it and be more than gracious to accept it. She is not one to humble boast or pretend to be someone she is not. It is too tiring for that. It is best to just do what she does best: her best at whatever her task it. Not to say she is at all perfect. She has shortcomings that do get in the way of her having a successful career completely. All the same, she is a very passionate person. She gets a lot wrong, and Dora will accept the correction and guidance happily so she can improve. Failure, to her, is just another word for a lesson learned. O- Original There is no one in the world like Nymphadora Tonks, for better or worse. She is a very vibrant girl who stands out in the room. Perhaps the best way to describe her is her haircolour. She is pink. There is no colour anyone could say fits her better, and though her hair changes as she pleases, it will always return to that. The colour of universal love, acceptance, passion, tenderness and tenacity. She is well away that she does not beat to the rhythm of any other drums. She doesn’t even hear their drums, but she is okay with that. To her, there is nothing wrong with living through expression. She can be very unorthodox in her approaches to life, which can only be expected. She doesn’t believe in matching socks or dressing in style, or the idea of acceptable work attire. While she loves who she is, the life of people “not someone’s type” has cursed her. There is no real place for her to fit in. As a child it was hard to be the misfit. The one who could have had family friends if born to Dromeda and a pureblood man, but they did not like her. The Muggleborns knew she was part of that family, so they didn’t like her. She was the little girl with loud hair and a big smile, so she seemed too forward to enjoy company with. She was simply too much of something and not enough of another to fit anywhere. There was always a place for her, but she was the only one in it, and it bothers her even now that she will never be looked at as someone they normally fit with because she lived her life being one of a kind. R- Reliable Not only will she get work done, but it will be done early enough to be looked over and fixed if not perfect. She says she will do it by Wednesday, it’s handed in Tuesday afternoon. Someone asks her to stay a little longer for work, she will be there for the whole night if she has to be. Have a secret? Her lips are sealed. She is very reliable and it is something people really like about her. The girl does not make promises she cannot keep, and she always works hard to keep said promises. She is a badger, and she will be the honest, truest person. Of course, her inability to commit to a tentative promise makes it hard for people to want to ask her things. She logically understands that people understand when things fall through. Dora cannot forgive herself. The girl has a hard time working out her own mental kinks that hold her back from commitment. She needs to know that she can give everything, even if it’s not reciprocated. While it’s a hard process to accept on her end, once it is, she won’t let a soul down. It is the reason she never really dated anyone. So many people she was not sure if that was someone she could hold onto forever, so she didn’t. Perhaps it was a connection missed, perhaps it was actually for the best, but it definitely makes it hard for Tonks to say yes. There is no maybe in her mind. A-Adorable Her pinkness is a very sweet person and it shines through. For brown eyes, they glow, and her big, toothy smile is contagious. For no other reason than she is a very cute personality. She doesn’t find herself to be overly stunning in anyway, and she is completely okay with that. She likes being plain, because it means she has the chance to let her personality do the talking. She is the definition of the color pink. She is passionately tender and lovingly subtle. Though the girl functions at a very high-level of activity and her mind is always going, she is hardly the aggressive or overbearing person. She is enthusiastic and gets ahead of herself, but is not overwhelming. She is simply that person everyone shakes their head at. Dora remembers the most important things, even if mentioned once, like a favourite color or a birthday. She doesn’t miss a thing when it will make someone happy. She is always smiling, which also makes it hard to see when she is upset. The girl will push through it for the sake of everyone else. She is a giving friend, almost to a fault. She will bend over backwards to make someone happy. At the same time the line “I will do anything for love, but I won’t do that,” is very her. She has morals, and she will never stray from them. No magnet could shake her moral compass. There is her right and her wrong and that is how life is. She will hear the other side, but she will never agree. T- Tenacious Dora is the little train who could. There really is no stopping the girl when her mind is set. She will love unconditionally and take all the pain that goes with it. She will support someone and hold on, even when she is being dragged under the surface with them. She will stick to a project, even when she knows it will fail. And she will reach for her dream, even when the lights have all gone out. She has a lot of drive for someone who never was raised in the pureblood life. She comes off as carefree and whimsical to anyone who doesn’t know her, but that does not change the fact that she does, in fact, have a goal in her life. She wants to protect the people, be the good guy and capture the bad guys. She does not look at herself as the one who kicks ass and takes names, but as the person who looks at the smallest clue and figures it out. Yes, she thinks she is Sherlockette Holmes at times. The bad side to this, is she doesn’t know when to quit. She will get dragged down with someone if no one is there to pull her away. She will invest too much time into pointless pursuits if no one reminds her that there are other things and she will waste away wondering why she is not loved back if no one is there to point Out the truth. The girl give her all, heart and soul, into her endeavors, for better or worse. O- Outgoing While Hufflepuffs are known to be the ones in the back of the class, working hard but staying silent, Tonks is not that person. She fondly knows the reason she was not a prefect was entirely because she had a difficult time following the rules like the rest of her house. The girl knew, forever, she fit in with them Weasleys more than some fellow badgers. Why? They were just so vibrant. She likes to try new things and has a hard time saying no, even if it is totally a bad idea. Thus, she was first to skip along when trouble came calling. Dora is also quite willing to find new and interesting ways to find new ways to entertain herself. Where some badgers are not the ones to go out of their way to make new friends, Dora was never the shy person. Of course, she was not always so well-accepted. She was rather forward to her housemates and some people from others as well. She likes new things and is not afraid of failure, but it seems as though she is arrogant or nothing but an airhead who likes to be noticed. N- Needless She will never ask for a thing. When she does, it is done because there was nothing else she could do. It hurts her not only to know that it was required. She likes to take things into her own hands, which means she tries her best not to take advantage of people. Dora is determined to not be that person who relies on others. Sometimes it makes her seem she is too good to ask for help or that she is more interested in her own life than others. Hardly the case, and it bothers her about it. At times it comes off as detached or disinterested in connection, but it is more of a fear of abandonment. She knows that, once attached, she can be rather attached to someone, and there was nothing worse than worrying about someone walking away. Because of that, she does her best to not push someone further away by seeming too needy. K- Klutz She falls. All the time. Though that may not be key to her personality, it is definitely proof of how she tends to get ahead of herself. She is always on the move and her brain is always pulled in eight million directs. That means sometimes she is not focused on what she is walking into. While she can be called as airhead at times, that is not entirely true. She simply has balance issues even when she is paying attention. When she’s not, the world is simply out to get her. It also doesn’t help that she trusts her friends not to put obstacles in her way when she pointedly moved them. S- Sympathetic |
HISTORY: April showers not only bring May flowers, but it also brought the birth of a little girl destine to be more colorful than the blue bells in her home-state of Texas. Nymphadora Tonks, a child destines to hate her name, came as exactly what her name meant- a bridal gift. Her parents conceived her on their wedding night and nine months into the newly wedded family’s life came a very wiggly little girl. From the moment she escaped her mother’s womb and entered the world in a resounding choir of angst and hatred, the girl did not stop moving. Lively and energetic, she was quick to learn amazing things as a baby: how to chew on her toes, how to blow spit bubbles, her fingers tasted awesome and eventually that she could move. Hands She was a babble queen and liked to hold nonsense conversations with anyone who would entertain the baby. One thing she did not like was nap time. She never actually did manage to fall asleep. Once she learned to roll and stand, the little girl was never sleeping. She was the energizer baby. She was quick to try and stand and fall. She was a queen at falling, but she took it all in stride. Dora never gave up, really. If anything, the little girl learned how to bounce. When most little girls were playing princess and having tea parties with stuffed animals, she was mixing it up with cowboy hats and mud pies served with “coffee.” She was not the pretty princess and her lack of balance was half that reason. At a young age, the girls were all taking gymnastics and dance classes while Tonks still was learning how to walk and not fall over on an incline. Dora’s family were worried she had an issue with her inner ear that affected her balance, but the truth was the girl was entirely made up of left feet and had no real grace to her. She was simply not destined to be a ballerina, and that was fine by her. Her life was spent outside at all times. She hated dresses and she hated shoes, especially in the rain. A truth that never got old was that Dora loved to dance in the rain and splash in puddles. She loved to play with her father in the garden and was never the girl to be grossed out by worms or bugs. She loved spiders, and she ate bugs before the boys tried to make her do it. At the same time, the girl loved her tutus and accessories. Tonks was the little girl wearing bracelets, her hair in pigtails, a rainbow tutu with beat up cowboy boots and dirt under her nails. The girl was tough, which would pay off in the long run, as she was not surrounded by the kindest of children growing up. She was a skinny girl, even for the girls who were into dance. She was pale and had large gaps in her baby teeth, which only got worse when she got older. Her large, light brown eyes were the only thing she actually liked about her herself. She had long lashes she liked to flutter, but her hair was boring and never did anything. And it was a mousey brown. Dora was awkwardly built. She was not athletic by any means, except for horseback riding. She did not want to play jump rope (probably for the best) or tag (also for the best), so she hung out in the back of the yard. All the same, the little girl was very friendly and loving. She was more than happy to talk to anyone who wanted to talk. She was not afraid of new people, which was probably not a good thing, but she was also very aware of people. Even as a little girl, she was pretty good at telling who was good and who was not. |
