Apparition: Like most adult wizards and witches, Tonks was capable of Apparating successfully at will. In 1996, after visiting Molly Weasley, she left by Disapparating. [42]
While joking around with Hermione and Ginny at Grimmauld Place, Tonks changed her nose into a pig nose resembling Dudley's, a "beak-like protuberance" resembling Snape's, and a nose like a button mushroom. [27] Changing her hair was one of the things she regularly did, sporting things like bubblegum pink when she escorted Harry on the Underground, something Harry had to assure everyone would not bring nearly as much attention in London as they thought. Tonks remarking about how her metamorphmagus skills helped her get top marks in school and during her training as an auror: As she moved forwards into the room, Mrs Tonks’s resemblance to her sister Bellatrix became much less pronounced: her hair was a light, soft brown and her eyes were wider and kinder. Nevertheless, she looked a little haughty after Harry’s exclamation.
I only set off that Dungbomb in the Herbology Classroom because I wanted to help fertilise the plants. I swear." — Tonks explaining the cause of her detention in the Hogwarts kitchens [src] Nymphadora literally means "Gift of the Nymphs." Nymphs are nature spirits in Greek mythology who rule trees, sacred groves, streams and the ocean. During the Renaissance, northern Europeans equated the classical nymphs with their own legends of elves. If we therefore read "gift of the nymphs" as "gift of the elves", this echoes the ancient myth of babies stolen by elves and replaced by hideous monsters called changelings. The metamorphic Tonks could be described as a "changeling".
He already comes round for dinner about four times a week,’ said Harry. ‘Why don’t we just invite him to live with us and have done with it?’ Nymphadora literally means "Gift of the Nymphs." Nymphs are nature spirits and minor deities in Greek mythology who rule trees, sacred groves, streams and the ocean, and are capable of changing their form, just like Tonks. During the Renaissance, northern Europeans equated the classical nymphs with their own legends of elves. If we therefore read "gift of the nymphs" as "gift of the elves", this echoes the ancient myth of babies stolen by elves and replaced by hideous monsters called "changelings". 'Nymph' is also the name of the "immature stage of a dragonfly or damselfly before it moults, before metamorphosing into a winged adult". All three meanings reference Tonks's metamorphosing skills. Remus was also killed, and Andromeda was left as the only surviving family member of her new grandson: Teddy Lupin. Bellatrix wants me quite as much as she wants Harry, Remus. She tried very hard to kill me. I just wish I'd got her, I owe Bellatrix." — Tonks to Remus Lupin after the Battle of the Seven Potters [src] Mad-Eye, you do know that's disgusting don't you?" —Tonks to Alastor Moody, after he popped out his magical eye to clean it.

During the battle, Nymphadora was finally killed by her own aunt, Bellatrix, in the third of their duels, probably and partially because she had just recovered from childbirth. [52] Tonks's body was laid out, pale and peaceful looking, in the Great Hall next to her husband, [3] who had died at the hands of Dolohov. Her death was avenged by Molly when she in turn killed Bellatrix.
She was unafraid of toil
As the group proceeded to fly toward the Burrow and Mad-Eye Moody suggested they turn around and retrace their steps just in case they were being followed, it was Nymphadora Tonks who told him he was crazy, stood up to her mentor, and said that they were already frozen to their brooms and they just needed to get there.
