A young Auror and member of the Order of the Phoenix. She and Lupin marry not long before the novel starts. Tonks is bright and bubbly and though she's a very competent witch, she's extremely clumsy and is known for knocking things over. She becomes pregnant not long after getting married and gives birth in the spring to a boy named Teddy, who is a Metamorphmagus like she is (which means they can change their appearance at will). Tonks and Lupin die in the final battle at Hogwarts.
