Tonks was a young witch with a pale heart-shaped face and dark twinkling eyes. [6] As a Metamorphmagus, she could change her appearance at will. She typically kept her hair short and spiky, and often bubblegum-pink. Tonks rather disliked her given name and considered her mother as a fool for naming her as such, thus insisting to be called "Tonks" instead. She didn't express any rejection when others referred to her as "Dora", a shortened form of the given name she detested so much. This may have been because her father and her husband both called her it. In the books, her hair is described as "short and spiky", but in the film's it's usually shoulder-length. It is also purple as opposed to pink as the film-makers had associated the colour pink with Professor Dolores Umbridge. It was portrayed as short and brown in the film adaptation of Half-Blood Prince however, as it had been in the book of the same name. In Half-Blood Prince (book version), her hair is brown, presumably due to her depression over being rejected by Remus Lupin. However in the film adaptation she and Remus are already together. It is possible she may be depressed over the death of her cousin Sirius.

Tonks was patrolling the school with Remus and Bill Weasley on the night that the Death Eaters managed to invade the castle, via a Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement, and fought against them in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in 1997. During the battle, she duelled Thorfinn Rowle, who fired spells rapidly at the young Auror in an attempt to subdue her, though he ultimately failed and was forced to retreat with his companions. [45]Herbology: As an Auror, Tonks would have had to have achieved either an "Outstanding" or "Exceeds Expectations" in her O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. in this subject, considering how Aurors often have to handle dangerous magical plants in their work. [55] She studied it at N.E.W.T. level, having gained earned a high O.W.L. grade in the subject, showing she was skilled with handling magical plants. [56] [57] He already comes round for dinner about four times a week,’ said Harry. ‘Why don’t we just invite him to live with us and have done with it?’ Severus Snape was Tonks's Potions professor and would therefore have contributed to her becoming an Auror, as a high N.E.W.T. score is required for all major magical subjects. During her years as a Hogwarts student, however, Tonks almost killed Snape by inadvertently throwing a Venemous Tentacula at him. This mishap served to infuriate Snape to such a degree that Tonks deemed him capable of "killing [her]", but, under Pomona Sprout's prompting, he relented to give her permanent detention instead. [63] In her adulthood, Tonks seemed to have no particular opinion of Snape regarding his loyalty, though it can be assumed that she trusted him because Dumbledore did but did not view him as a friend. In 1996, Snape insulted her wolf Patronus, which by extension was an insult to her love for Lupin. After Snape's murder of Dumbledore, Tonks came to view the former as an enemy. Tonks died before learning of Snape's true loyalty or that he had tried to save her husband during the Battle of the Seven Potters. Personality: For Tonks, personality is often reflected in the way she looks. More often than not she's pink spikey haired, pale, and grinning. She's a generally happy person, with a vibrant and engaging personality. People often remark that she doesn't have the normal serious demeanor of an auror, but she doesn't think that she needs to, so long as she gets the job done. She likes to see the brighter side of things when at all possible and also likes to be the friendly face in a sea of stony looking aurors.

During her sixth year, Tonks proceeded to take N.E.W.T.-level classes in Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Herbology, Divination, and Muggle Studies. Sometime that year, she became a founding member of the Circle of Khanna, a group devoted to avenging Rowan Khanna and locating the final Cursed Vault. It was at the group's first meeting in the Hog's Head Inn that she learned of the malevolent organisation R and its motives to locate the final Cursed Vault before them. [17] Divination: Tonks possessed considerable proficiency and knowledge in the field of Divination. She she earned either an "Exceeds Expectations" or "Outstanding" in the subject at O.W.L. level that allowed her to study it further at N.E.W.T. level. [19]

‘The Advance Guard’

Apparition: Like most adult wizards and witches, Tonks was capable of Apparating successfully at will. In 1996, after visiting Molly Weasley, she left by Disapparating. [42]

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, Year 6, Chapter 4 ( Friends in Low Places) - Divination Lesson "Palmistry" 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.

At the funeral of Albus Dumbledore, Tonks and Remus stood together, holding hands, and her hair had returned to its preferred bubble-gum pink colour [4]. Tonks had unexpectedly become pregnant sometime after the wedding and presumably tried to tell Harry before the Battle of the Seven Potters, but was interrupted by " Mad-Eye" Moody. Kindness is not (and should not be) limited to members of Hufflepuff house but it is a trait that graced many of the house’s members. There was Newt Scamander, who took the blame for his friend Leta Lestrange’s transgression while they were at Hogwarts, and of course Cedric Diggory. Even during the competition and pressure of the Triwizard Tournament, Cedric took the time to be kind to Harry – telling his friends to stop wearing the nasty badges, for example – even though Harry really did steal his thunder when they became joint Hogwarts champions. And fellow Hufflepuff Tonks had a great deal of kindness in her heart too. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , Tonks was directed to guard Hogwarts. She was withdrawn and depressed during this time because Remus Lupin had declined their relationship and taken on a dangerous assignment. She couldn’t change her appearance anymore; she looked a lot thinner, her mood changed, and she had mousy brown hair. Harry Potter thought that she was upset over the death of her cousin and that she felt guilty that had she been able to stop her aunt, her cousin would not have died.
