Tonks Character Essay
*facepalm*
I'd like everyone to write an essay OOC about their characters.
*facepalm*
I really should pay attention to what I am reading. Hey Shanti, would it make much of a difference if I wrote the essay IN character. No? Excellent, I’m so glad you agree with me, really rather considerate. See now, that’s what I like about you and-
*runs off while you’re distracted*
And yeah, I wrote an actual essay cause well I did. Suffer the consequences.
Nymphadora Tonks Character Essay
My name, as my dear mother insisted on calling me, is Nymphadora Tonks, however from now on you shall refer me to Tonks.
So? What do you want to know?
I was born in 1973 which makes me twenty three at the moment. My parents are Ted Tonks and Andromeda Black. Yes, of the London Blacks. Yes, those Blacks. But honestly, my mother isn’t like that. She ran away from home so she could marry my father and apart from being a little strict she is nothing like the family she left. My father is Muggle on the other hand and quite laidback when it comes to the use of magic. He’d have to be, given my own special abilities.
I was born a Metamorphmagus which means I can change my shape and appearance at will. Quite useful but after awhile it can get tiring. My natural appearance is somewhat up for debate though I seem to have inherited my mothers dark eyes and heart shaped face. My father says I have his sense of humour. I think it worked out rather well.
Currently my mother and father are living somewhere in Europe. At first they wanted to get away from all the trouble caused by the Death Eaters and the prejudice against pureblood-muggle marriages. I still keep in touch with them although I am not quite sure of their exact whereabouts. As for the rest of my family, well, of my two aunts, one is married to a Death Eater and the other one is being hunted because she is a Death Eater. So for those two reasons alone I don’t communicate with them. My father’s parents died quite some time ago although I think he has a brother living in another country somewhere. The only relative I had much contact with lately was my cousin Sirius but he’s dead now and there is not much I can do about that. Let’s move on, shall we?
I was sorted into Ravenclaw, like my mother was, when I first started at Hogwarts. Apparently I have a natural talent for academics that in the words of my teachers ‘would be more apparent if she focused on her studies and less on mischief’. I think that was also the reason why I never made Prefect. But I mean, come on, what was I supposed to do? My mother had forbidden me to reveal my Metamorphmagus ability while at school so I had to release my creativity in other ways, right? Unfortunately, I may have grown up slightly in later years and luckily received enough NEWTS to be accepted into Auror training.
Auror training lasted for three years in which my shape changing abilities were revealed. The Ministry tends to be rather uptight shall we say, about people with extraordinary abilities. Rather ironic since they are called the Ministry of MAGIC! However I graduated two years ago and have been working as an Auror ever since. I was slightly involved in the hunt for Sirius Black when he was considered a fugitive, but mostly I was involved with undercover and espionage missions. Lately I have been assigned to monitor the increased Dementor activity.
I was made aware of the Order of the Phoenix through Shackelbolt and Arthur Weasley a little more than a year ago and I joined up straight away. At the time I figured if Voldemort had indeed returned then the Ministry was woefully unprepared to handle such a disaster and while during the first war my parents weren’t involved that much out of concern for me, I still remember the terror of those times and I refuse to just sit by and let that happen again.
At the moment my job in the Order is mostly to gather information through the Ministry on Dark activity. While Arandolf Grévin appears to be far more competent than Fudge he is not exactly fond of Dumbledore and we don’t know exactly what his stance on Voldemort is yet.
So I suppose you want to know more about me now? Like my personality and stuff?
I guess I would describe myself as curious and enthusiastic, I like to be involved and help out with things. I’ve also been told I am mischievous and enigmatic (that was Lupin’s word) but that’s okay because I like being different. Being a Metamorphmagus makes you unusual even in a magical population and that unfortunately, naturally garners suspicion. For that reason I guess I can be somewhat defensive as well but the bottom line is I am different and I don’t intend on pretending to be otherwise.
And yes, okay, I’ll admit it now. I’m clumsy. Dead clumsy. It’s part of being a Metamorphmagus because you can your body so easily you can never really become comfortable in it. Or at least that’s what it is like for me.
But don’t underestimate me. I am an Auror, a damn good one and that means I could hex your legs off before you realised it. I’m not afraid to stand up to Moody or go head to head with a Death Eater. But don’t let that stand in your way, a girl like me knows how to have fun.
