Nymphadora Tonks, who prefers to be known by surname only, is a Metamorphmagus as well as a half-blood witch. She can usually be seen sporting Bubble Gum pink hair and punk-ish clothing.
She is introduced as an Auror in the Order of the Phoenix, as the society's newest member. Tonks partakes in several crucial events that eventually lead to Voldemort's fall. After going emo for a year, it is revealed that she has fallen for the older Remus Lupin. He rejects her, on multiple occasions (for noble reasons), but the two are later married and have a son together. Tonks dies in the final battle, alongside Remus.
Tonks can be described as clumsy, fun-loving, sweet, inquisitive, bright, intelligent, impulsive and compassionate. She does what she knows is right, and never hesitates when the stakes are high.
Although the movies overlook her, Tonks is one of the best characters in the entire series.

Get the Nymphadora Tonks mug.Nymphadora (tonks) Nymphadora translates as "Gift of the Nymphs." A "nymph," in Greek mythology, refers to "a member of group of female 'spirits' found in different types of nature." They are further classified by where they were found. They also had the ability to change shapes, a very clear connection to Tonks' own ability to shape-shift. In Latin, "nympha" translates to "a bride" and "Nymphae" to "the Nymphs."
Nymphadora is a young witch in the Harry Potter series. she is a Metamorphus and an Auror for the Ministry of Magic. She is known for being extreamly clumsy and usually cheerfull as well for sporting bubblegum pink hair. Her mother, Andromeda, is one of the three black sisters, though unlike her sisters, was never involved in the dark arts. Her father is a Muggle (Non-magic folk) by the name of Ted Tonks. Nymphadora hates her name and goes by Tonks, correcting people when they refer to her otherwise. Although too young to fight in the Order of the Phoenix in the first war against Voldemort, she joined them in the second war alongside her cousin, Sirius Black and his best friend Remus Lupin.
*spoilers*
After Sirius dies in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Tonks goes into a depression that lasts throughout the next book. Widely thought to be about her cousins death was actually because Remus Lupin, a slightly older, lycanthrope ex professor of hogwarts, kept on rejecting her, although he had feelings for her, sighting he was too old, poor and dangerous for her. However, by the end of Half Blood Prince they can be seen holding hands

Get the Nymphadora Tonks mug.Related Words
Female character in the Harry Potter series. The middle sister of the Unholy Trinity of the Black Sisters. Was a Slytherin and therefore had loads of ambition, except her ambition lain beyond the usual Black goals of Toujour Purs. Her ambition eventually manifested in marrying the muggle fella, Ted Tonks (possibly that news reader in Philosopher's Stone) and giving birth to her half-blood daughter, Nymphadora Tonks. She was kicked out of the Black family for this.
Concerning her visual appearance, it can be assumed she was also fairly good-looking like her two sisters, Narcissa and Bellatrix and her cousins, Sirius and Regulus. As for what side she is on...that's unknown. Despite being open-minded to the muggle culture, does not necessarily mean she's sided up with Dumbledore like her deceased cousin, Sirius Black. She certainly isn't with Voldemort, like her sisters and deceased cousin, Regulus Black. Probably on her own side with her own agenda for the upcoming wizard war.
Not much else is known about this third sister and there is little hint to her personality, although Nymphadora mentioned in OotP her mother's talent with household spells suggesting Andromeda may have the trait of neatness and organization.

Get the Nymphadora Tonks mug.Someone who is incredibly built, another level above wedge and tonks.
It looks like the person has eaten lumps of wedge and nothing else. The 'Hot' is because they are so tonks they can not stop sweating as the weight of muscle is too much.
For an example of Hot tonks see former WCW wrestler Scott Steiner.

Get the Hot-tonks mug.Any person whose appearance or disposition suggests they may be less evolved than the average modern human. The common tonk-tonk will often be found in a multicolor japanese car with tilted rear wheels (due to improperly lowering its body without adjusting the suspension) blasting either reggaeton or doofdoof music (or any other primitive- or tribal-sounding monotonous soundtrack with simple and repetitious beats.) Many tonk-tonks wear loose-fitting clothing, seemingly because such garments remind them of the animalhide wrappings their grandparents crafted in the jungles and pastoral hills of the remote islands from which most tonk-tonks originate. Most tonk-tonks tend to have success in the bartering of goods (usually drugs) as their mental resources are geared toward the nomadic hunter-gatherer mentality. They also usually have some type of legal trouble following them, as their simple brains cannot grasp the concept of laws or rules. When one encounters the common tonk-tonk in its natural habitat (the club, fastfood restaurants, sportsbars) it is wise not to use complicated verbiage or gestures, as tonk-tonks are frightened of things they cannot understand and may initiate primal defense instincts, resulting in frantic utterances in their monkey-language and sometimes bitemarks. They can be restrained by employing well-aimed severe kicks to the face, especially once the tonk-tonk has fallen to the ground.
E.M.F. likes to yell at the Tonk-Tonks in his gwala gwala dialect because they think he can talk to their deceased ancestors who learned the secrets of sneaking past the border patrol and avoiding capture by the I.N.S.
