NICKNAMES: Dora [to her father], Tonks [to everyone else]
AGE: 31
D.O.B.: March 21st, 1973
ALLEGIANCE: Order of the Phoenix
PROFESSION: She used to be an Auror until the bloodsnobs came to power. She now takes on a variety of jobs under numerous different names and looks.
WAND TYPE: Alder and Jobberknoll feather, 9 ¾ inches.

EYE COLOUR: As above.
HEIGHT: As above. (Note: in the books it says she takes the appearance of “ a tall, tweedy woman with iron-gray hair”. I take this to mean she can change her height as well as her features – disagree with me on this if you wish.)
WEIGHT: 14-15 stone
BODY TYPE: Tonks is an pretty average woman in terms of her build. She is slightly less thin than she was at the battle of Hogwarts, and she can change her build to suit her. Altogether, though, she is a pretty normal woman, as she likes to be. Most of the time.
VOICE: Tonks used to have a plain voice, but it was full of passion. Her years in Azkaban have taken their toll on her, though, and she generally sounds worn, with a hint of pain in her voice. However, her old fire and passion are not completely gone. Get her into an argument, or suggest something that goes against her morals, and it returns once more.
PERSONAL STYLE: Tonks is a mix and match kind of woman. She can’t have the same “stand-out-ish” kind of dress code she used to have, but it doesn’t stop her putting her own spin on things. She is often found in black robes, trying to be surreptitious, but there may be a red ribbon around one of her arms, or a blue hairband on show – just something to make her stand out slightly. She knows this is dangerous, but her defiance of the new rule has never stopped her before.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: As said above, she is a mix and match kind of girl. Her outwards look is, however, plain and simple. If you came across her in Diagon Alley, you’d probably think nothing of her except a short glimpse at her extra items (the hairband or ribbon etc.) If you caught her when she isn’t trying to be someone else, you’d see a worn, plain faced woman, who looked like she had seen more trouble than a woman of her age should.

Remus.
Being around people who fought alongside her with the Order
Kind of enjoys the spats that occur when she accidentally bumps into her “pureblood” relatives.
CHARACTER DISLIKES:
The new pureblood supremacy
Voldemort
His cronies
That all the people she cares about are now outcasts and can't do anything about it
GOALS: To beat Voldemort and get out of the bloodsnob rule. She aims to get her old job back and have those who fought alongside Dumbledore to get the recognition they deserve.
BOGGART: Losing Remus. This could be through a variety of ways – always different. Sometimes the image is of him being killed by Voldemort, sometimes of him sacrificing his life for her or the others. But it always has the same outcome. Remus always dies.
PATRONUS: The honour of being the youngest Auror the Ministry of Magic had ever seen. It was the point where Tonks really thought she had made something of her life, and knew she could actually do something worth doing. Because of this, it was one of the proudest moments of her life.
DEMENTOR: Being defeated by Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts. She had spent her whole life trying to defeat him, and then he killed nearly all the people she held dear. She couldn't believe anyone could be so merciless, and even then, she couldn't believe that the Order had actually lost
AMORTENTIA: Remus Lupin, 12 Grimmauld Place, Hogwarts
BASIC PERSONALITY: (10 WORDS, MAXIMUM, THAT DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER. 10.)Serious, Thoughtful, Adventurous, Sorrowful, Lonely, Vivacious (when she wants to be), Calm-ish, Intriguing

MOTHER: Andromeda Black - Pureblood
BROTHER(S): None
SISTER(S): None
OTHER: Son - Teddy Lupin
BLOOD STATUS: Impure
HOMETOWN: London
CURRENT RESIDENCE: A small, run-down cottage in the very outskirts of the city.
BIOGRAPHY: Nymphadora went through Hogwarts under the great Albus Dumbledore. She was a Hufflepuff [Note: Not Gryffindor as on the Canon list] and spent may years trying to lose the reputation of being the clumsiest student Hogwarts had ever seen. Her bubbly and self-confident attitude gained her many friends and nothing seemed like it could go wrong. She passed most of her exams, and gained the qualifications needed to join the Aurors in the Ministry.
Here, she underwent three years of training, and passed, nearly failing “on Stealth and Tracking” as she was “dead clumsy”. Because of her abilities to change her appearance, though, she flew through another part of her course. She was Mad-Eye Moody’s protégé, and she became the youngest Auror to ever serve in the Ministry. She was approached by Kingsley and Mad-Eye to join the Order of the Phoenix, and quickly settled in. She developed a crush on Remus Lupin, who seemed to push her away as far as he could, most of the time. She fought in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries where she lost her cousin, Sirius Black; the Battle of the Tower, where she had to overcome her great feelings of loss yet again, as Dumbledore lost his life. She did have a lot of joy, though, when Remus married her, and she bore their son, Teddy. However, when she fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, she left Teddy with Andromeda in case she never returned. In the Battle of Hogwarts, she saw many innocent students and Order Members lose their lives.. Tonks’ life has been filled with heartache and pain, always losing people she cares about – she is distraught when Mad-Eye loses his life while protecting Harry – and when they lost the battle, she let herself be taken to Azkaban with no issues.
When she finally saw daylight again, she was a completely different person. Being stuck in such a place had scarred her mentally, and she was physically weak. She couldn't bring herself to return to her son, who probably had never envisioned seeing his mother again, and it only would have made him even more of an outcast himself. She knew Andromeda had told him she was dead, and this filled her with pain. She wishes she could see her son, but realises he probably would never forgive her for leaving him. She knew that in this world now, she couldn’t make a stand. Too many people would be against her. She found out quickly that people like her and the Order were considered unclean…filthy. She had to restrain herself from lashing out a few times when people said things against Dumbledore or the Order, and everyday became a struggle.
Tonks no longer uses her real name, but takes on a variety of different personas with her many different looks. She knows that to use her real name would let Teddy know she was still alive, and may possibly cause the purebloods to attack her for her part in the Order. Gradually she is picking up the pieces of her life – and one day, will be ready to fight Voldemort again; and this time, she is NOT going to lose.

RP EXPERIENCE: I adore Roleplaying in any form. I am currently running a game at our local Dungeons and Dragons (paper-based fantasy roleplay) group and I have just performed in my drama group's version of "Jack and the Beanstalk".
I've been part of RP forums since 2006, I have been part of 5 HPRPGs – Admin or Mod of 3 of those. I was also part of the original F!lth before it moved. I missed an activity check, though, and had no time to redo my application.
HOW YOU FOUND US:Due to the fact I was part of the old site as Tonks and Sara-Louise Thompson before I missed the activity check.
OTHER CHARACTERS:None as of yet.
RP SAMPLE:
Tonks walked down the path, slowly, the crisp snow crunching beneath her trainers. Watching the Muggles in their cars roll by, she looked around. It was white. It was Christmas, but it was unsatisfying. Her eyes flicked to the air. It was snowing, but she was unhappy. She'd had a bad day at the Ministry, she'd found out that more people were missing and, quite frankly, she was fed up with it. She was under strain, just like the rest of the Aurors. Since Sirius had died, 12 Grimmauld Place was sombre. It was cold and unwanting. It felt so...dead without Sirius' bright, larger than life attitude.
Her eyes wandered around, until they lay back to the floor, and she stopped. Leaning against a lamp post, she sighed. The Order was, no doubt, going to want to do their own bit of investigating, and of course, the Aurors would be involved. Her, Remus and Kingsley, would probably be a few of those who would be in demand. After all, Remus was one of the "old crowd" and could give her needed advice...if she would listen. After all, she couldn't exactly deny the fact that she felt for him...a lot more than many would have originally believed, but now the whole Order knew. Thankfully, many kept it to themselves, and Tonks hoped it was to save any unnecessary discussion.
Kingsley, was her boss, basically. A senior Auror, with some rather amazing ability. Before Sirius' death, he had been in charge of the whole "let's hunt him down and get him back into Azkaban before anyone has a chance to prove his innocence" thing, thanks to Fudge. Thankfully, he misdirected and sent wrong instructions, aided and abetted by a wonderful Arthur Weasley, whom she felt very much in awe of.
Looking down at her watch, she gasped. She was getting later and later. Running, she hid behind a tall tree, and did a tight pirouette. With a "pop" she disapparated, into Grimmauld Place, and ran to the door of Number 12.
