Nymphadora Tonks

Nymphadora Tonks is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels, first appearing in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2003).
She is an Auror who is especially gifted in the art of disguise as she is a Metamorphmagus. She prefers to be addressed as Tonks and despises her first name.
She is especially friendly with Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ginny Weasley. Many fans have concluded that her role in the series is partially to act as Ginny's bigger sister, given the fact that Ginny is the only girl in a familiy of seven children. She enjoys conjuring up unusual disguises in the Muggle world though her other skills as an Auror aren't as exceptional. Tonks is also a little clumsy. She's usually accompanied by Alastor Moody.
She is the daughter of Ted Tonks and Andromeda Black, the first cousin once removed of Sirius Black, and the niece of Narcissa Black, and Bellatrix Black. Nymphadora is also cousin to Draco Malfoy, the son of Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy.
During the final scenes of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Tonks accompanies Alastor Moody, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Kingsley Shacklebolt in fighting the Death Eaters though she becomes injured in the process and falls unconscious. Moody tries to revive her but she remains unconscious and is taken to St. Mungo's Hospital after the fight with Lord Voldemort. She then returns in the final pages of the book along with Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin and some of the Weasleys to confront Vernon Dursley about Harry's treatment at Number Four Privet Drive.he:הארי_פוטר_-_קוסמים#.D7.A0.D7.99.D7.9E.D7.A4.D7.93.D7.95.D7.A8.D7.94_.D7.98.D7.95.D7.A0.D7.A7.D7.A1 it:Ninfadora Tonks pl:Nimfadora Tonks
