Hello, Nymphadora Mara Tonks.
» Is there anything you would rather be called?
As long as you don't call me Nymphadora, I'm easy. My father affectionately calls me Dora and hopefully someone else will also do so in the near future… Most people though call me by my family name, Tonks, which I actually prefer. Here at the past I'll go by Mara Dora Tuk, actually Mara is my muggle paternal grandmother's first name.
» Great, now that we've got that covered. How old are you and what year are you in?
I'm currently 20 years old and have already graduated both Hogwarts and Auror training.
» I see, and you're in what house?
I used to be a Hufflepuff back at Hogwarts.
» Great! Now what era are you from?
I'm from Trio Era in the nineties.
» You know, has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like...?
Sure, they say I resemble Natalia Tena a lot when not doing funny things with my appearance.
» Thanks! Slipped my mind. Now, do you know the super secret code word?
What code? I'm sure I've read everything in the manual… I think I've let it slip my mind too. Sorry.

Let's talk about your personality.
» What are a few of your favorite things?
My favorite things in the world? First, it has to be my natural metamorphmagus abilities and experimenting with my general appearance. I also like a good conversation with interesting people and just meeting new people really. I'm in love with fellow Order member Remus Lupin. I also place a lot of value in the significance of the work I do for the Order and the Auror Office. I'm very fond of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and the Weasleys as well, considering them personal friends. A little bit of disorder also doesn't kill anyone, except my mother it seems. I enjoy having a good time with friends and making people laugh.
»That's interesting. Is there anything you absolutely dislike?
I dislike being so clumsy really. I seem to trip on everything and be a walking disaster waiting to happen. I also dislike to be discriminated by my mother's family for being a half-blood and being forced to stay away from Remus due to his refuse to accept my approach. I really oppose the use of the Dark Arts, reason why I have chosen my specific line of work. I also dislike when people talk badly of my parents, specially my father. I really dislike my first name, reason why everyone but my parents calls me Tonks. What kind of a name is Nymphadora anyway? Maybe I'll have the courage to ask my teenage mother or even make her reconsider this before I'm born so I can have a normal name like everybody else and actually like mine for a change.
» Hm, what is your greatest fear?
Certainly my greatest fear is to loose my father, Theodore Tonks, and the man that I love, Remus Lupin, to the war, either one, as they are targets of Voldemort and his Death Eaters since my dad is a muggleborn and Remus is a blood traitor Order member just like myself.
» Yeah, that is scary. Do you have any dreams for the future?
Who doesn't? I want this war to be over, so my loved ones and everyone else will be safe again. I know there will always be evil and prejudice in the world and as an Auror I'll always be here to fight against it, but lately things are just becoming impracticable. I'm also hopeful that Lupin will stop rejecting my approach. I don't really care that he is a werewolf and I can take care of myself. I don't need to be protected, I need to be loved. I hope he sees that soon or it may be too late.
» Wow, I hope you succeed. Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
I'm a little too enthusiastic, bubbly and easy to make friends with people I've just met. My chosen dressing style has a distinct hipness to it and I love it because it is so me. I can be a bit too eager to help and offer myself for it even when that would not be the best thing to do. I also lack the ability to behave myself sometimes. As a metamorphmagus, I can alter my appearance at will, not just for the sake of training in the art of disguise but for the lighter purposes of experimenting with it and entertaining others around me. I though have a hard time to control such ability when I feel unhappy.
I'm terrible with household spells and also notoriously clumsy, which almost made me flunk Stealth and Tracking course at the Auror training with Alastor Moody, the most famous Auror of modern times and a very hard mentor to please. I'm also not prone to fanatical cleanliness like my mother, preferring a little disorder and mess like my father. I'm also considered an excellent witch and skilled duelist by many and am a staunchly loyal supporter of Albus Dumbledore and member of the Order of the Phoenix. In my work for the Order, I have shown to be brave, dependable and selfless.

So far so good. Now for history.
» So tell me, where are you from? What did you think of it?
I was literally born at the Infirmary Wing of Hogwarts. Seriously. My mom, Andromeda, was a student there when I was born. What anyone thinks of Hogwarts? Best school in the word for witches and wizards to get their magical education and a very cool place if you know how to have fun.
» Do you have any other family? Parents? Siblings? Extended? What do you think about them?
Yes. I actually have quite a big family, but of all of them I'm only really close to my parents Andromeda and Theodore Tonks. I had a good relationship with my second cousin Sirius Black after he escaped from Azkaban and was proved innocent of his alleged crimes by Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley. I actually feel a bit responsible for his death last year as I wasn't capable to fully stop my aunt Bellatrix in our duel, so she went on to kill Sirius. My estranged living family members are my aunts Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy, my uncles Rodolphus Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy and my cousin Draco Malfoy.
» What is your worst memory/memories?
My worst memories are linked to rejection and loss. I was rejected since an young age by my mother's family just because I am a half-blood. They think very badly of my father for no good reason other than he is a muggleborn. My father is a great guy really. The Black house-elf, Kreacher, kept insulting me during the Order meetings last year as if I wasn't part of the family. The name of my mother was burnt out of the family tree and mine isn't even there. It's like I don't even exist to those people. I try not to mind, but the rejection hurts. Another rejection came from Remus Lupin. I declared myself to him and he turned me down. I don't care that he is a werewolf or that he is older than me or that he is poor. I can take care of myself and I have a well paying job. This whole thing is just so frustrating because I know he feels the same way about me, but it seems he just wants to sabotage himself. The last was my cousin Sirius' death last year. I still feel guilty for not stopping my aunt Bellatrix before she could do it.
» What is your best memory/memories?
Some of my happiest memories are childhood ones with my parents. Even though most of the rest of the family sucks a big deal, they were always great and loving to me. I had a lot of fun while experimenting with my metamorphic abilities and they never thought it was weird when I changed my nose into that of a pig. I remember laughing a lot and being very happy as a child. My graduation day at Hogwarts was also a day to remember. Also the joy of a job well done when I finally finished my training as an Auror, specially after I thought I was going to flunk Stealth and Tracking due to my clumsiness.
» Where are you now? What are you doing with your life?
I'm now in limbo really, not anywhere, but time travel or not I still have my orders and my mission and that is to patrol and defend Hogsmeade and Hogwarts from Death Eaters. I'll probably be trying to infiltrate Hogwarts soon to protect a couple of the students there who are vital to the future and pass through the uncanny experience of seeing my unborn self within my mother's belly. I really want to be there for her as she had always told me how lonely she felt due to not being able to say the truth about me and dad to people.
