I need a costume. I've got a bright pink wig which I have strategically chopped to punk it up a little bit. Where should I go from there? In the text, there's not all that much other than the changing hair, the nose thing (which I'm not going to bother with), and that she's kind of scrappy. How do you imagine her? Thanks.

Nymphadora Tonks
Born: c. 1973 (see Tonks timeline, below)
Ancestry: 'Tonks' is considered a "half-blood" because her father was a muggle-born wizard.
Mother: Andromeda (Black) Tonks, sister of Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange.
Father: Ted Tonks, a muggle-born wizard.
Hair: various colors, changed at will.
Eyes: dark and twinkling.
Distinguishing features: as a Metamorphmagus, Tonks can assume many different appearances. Her actual appearance is that of a pretty, young woman with a pale, heart-shaped face.
Name meaning: Nymphs are spirits of nature in Greek mythology. They are minor female deities who appear as young, pretty girls, and are the protectors of springs, mountains, and rivers. The male counterpart to a nymph is a satyr (Encyclopedia Mythica). A nymph is also a stage of metamorphosis in the insect world.
Career: Auror and member of the present-day Order of the Phoenix. Part of the Advance Guard that helps Harry in his escape from the Dursley house (OP3-9, 35). Fought at the Department of Mysteries battle and was seriously injured.
Interests: Popular music (judging by the 'Weird Sisters' t-shirt).
House: Hufflepuff (JKR), 1984-1991.
Patronus: Previous one unknown; changes to "immense four-legged creature" (HBP8). Lupin guesses that it changed because she received a profound shock (HBP15).
Nymphadora, or 'Tonks,' as she prefers to be called, is an Auror and a member of the Order of the Phoenix. She was not part of the original Order of the Phoenix as she was too young. Tonks was part of the Advance Guard that helps Harry in his escape from the Dursley house; she carried his trunk slung under her broom. (OP3-9, 35)
Tonks is the daughter of Sirius Black's favorite cousin, Andromeda, who married a Muggle-born wizard, Ted Tonks. Andromeda was removed from the tapestry of the Black family tree as a result of her marriage (so Kreacher does not feel the need to obey her even though she is family). That means that Tonks' aunts are Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange, whether any of them wants to admit it or not.
While at Hogwarts, Tonks was not made a Prefect. She said that it was because she lacked certain "necessary qualities," specifically the ability to behave herself. However, she must have been a very capable student in spite of her fondness for mischief, since becoming an Auror requires high marks in many subjects. After leaving Hogwarts in the summer of 1991, Tonks had to undergo an additional three years of training to become an Auror, only qualifying a year ago (summer of 1994).
Tonks is a Metamorphmagus, which means that she can change her appearance at will. She uses this ability in service to the Order, but it also helped her qualify as an Auror ("I got top marks in Concealment and Disguise during Auror training without any study at all, it was great.").However, she is very clumsy and she had more difficulty with Stealth and Tracking.
During the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Tonks fired spells down on the Death Eaters in the Death Room, but was hit by a spell and injured severely. She recovered from her wounds after a stay in St. Mungo's. She was sufficiently healed to join Mad-Eye and Lupin on the platform in King's Cross as they met Harry from the train.
However, a few months later when Harry meets her at the Burrow, it is clear that Tonks is extremely unhappy. She has let her hair go a mousy brown, and looks "drawn, even ill." (HBP5) Harry at first supposes that she is distraught over Sirius' death but finds out later (HBP29) that she has fallen in love with Remus Lupin.
During Harry's 6th year at Hogwarts, Tonks was stationed there along with Aurors Proudfoot, Savage, and Dawlish to guard the school.
Tonks is a good friend to Harry and his friends. She is also an excellent comrade-in-arms for the upcoming war. She seems to hit it off particularly well with Ginny Weasley.
Tonks Timeline
Compiled and edited by Nathan Zimmermann
Tonks told Harry in August of 1995, that she became an Auror only last year in 1994.
I only qualified a year ago. Nearly failed on Stealth and Tracking. I'm dead clumsy, did you hear me break that plate when we arrived downstairs? (OP3)
When that date is taken in conjunction with the additional to the three years of postgraduate work that is the norm for becoming an auror.
閳ユ凡ell you will need to demonstrate the ability to react well to pressure and so forth,閳?said Professor McGonagall, 閳ユ笡erseverance and dedication , because Auror training takes a further three years , not mention very high skills in practical defense閳ワ腹鈧?(OP)
It can be inferred she graduated from Hogwarts in June of 1991 one term before Harry's first year. This being the case the resulting timeline is as follows:
1993-94 third year of auror training. Nymphadora completed her third year of auror training and qualified as an auror in the summer 1994.
1992-93 Nymphadora閳ユ獨 second year of auror training
1991-92: Nymphadora閳ユ獨 First Year of auror training
1990-91: Nymphadora閳ユ獨 seventh and final year at Hogwarts
1989-90: Nymphadora閳ユ獨 sixth year at Hogwarts
1988-89: Nymphadora閳ユ獨 fifth year at Hogwarts.
1987-88: Nymphadora閳ユ獨 fourth year at Hogwarts
1986-87: Nymphadora閳ユ獨 third year at Hogwarts
1985-86: Nymphadora閳ユ獨 second year at Hogwarts
1984-85: Nymphadora閳ユ獨 first year at Hogwarts.
The fact that Nymphadora閳ユ獨 first year at Hogwarts is the 1984-85 school establishes that Tonks would have been born in 1973, because, the age when a student starts at Hogwarts is 11 years of age. She is, therefore, the same age as Charlie Weasley.

Harry Potter question. What does Tonks look like?
I think of her in her early 20's. I think she probably wears a lot of black.
By the way, there may be images from the movie. I think Natalia Tena plays her.
