About Your Character

Basics


Full name: Andromeda Tonks

Nicknames: Dromeda, Andi, and Ted likes to call me Andi-Pandy sometimes.

Ancestry: Pure-blood

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Birthday: March 8, 1953

Sorted into: Slytherin

Who do you follow? I chose to follow my own path. In my opinion most of my family’s ways are unacceptable and wrong. So I broke free from the constraints of the Black name and am happy with how I’m living my life now.

Wand: Veela hair at the center, cherry wood, ten inches long.

Personal

Sexuality: Well, I’m married to a MAN so let’s think it over….

Likes:

*my husband and daughter
*reading
*writing
*candles
*cleanliness
*a bit of chaos
*singing
*watching Dora grow and learn
*trips to just about any place
*gardening
*sunshine

Dislikes:

*most of my family
*liars
*a messy house
*people that judge based on blood status
*actually, people who judge at all!
*classical music
*bad attitudes
*rudeness

Strengths:

LOYAL: My trust is hard to earn, but once you have it, you have it for life and I will do just about anything in my power to help you.

CARING: I love to love. I think becoming a mother has made me more nurturing, but I’ve always had a passion for others.

KIND: I’ve been told that I have a certain sweetness to my personality, which I like to think is true. I enjoy helping others.

SUPPORTIVE: Even if I don’t always agree with your decisions, if I really love and care for you it doesn’t matter what you choose to do in life. As long as you’re happy, so am I.

PROTECTIVE: Simple. Mess with the people I care about and deal with me. I can assure you it will not be pleasant.

Weaknesses:

FAMILY: My real family, that is. Ted and Dora and Sirius and that lot. I’ll do anything for them.

OCD: I’m a bit obsessive when it comes to a clean house. It’s not that I can’t accept it, it’s just that I prefer it clean. And it’s such a simple and quick thing to do, really just picking and placing a few things….

COOKING: I’m dreadful at it. I enjoy cooking but the last time I tried to cook Ted was ill with food poisoning for a week. But he lied and said it was good anyway, bless him.

Goals:

Help Dora to grow up and be strong, healthy, and happy. As long as my daughter is happy, I need nothing else.

Fears:

I have large fear of heights and bugs. And losing the ones I love.

Tics, Quirks & Habits:

Tucking my hair behind my ears, since I rarely tie it back. Cleaning, even when the house is not mine. Picking lint off of anyone near me. Humming to myself.

Pet Peeves:
I can’t stand it when something is spilled and no one bothers to clean it up. It will become sticky, attract all kinds of things such as animals, bugs, etc. and someone will inevitably step in it and track it somewhere else, making the mess bigger than before just because someone was lazy.

Favorite sounds and smells:

I love the smell of cinnamon and apples, the smell of Dora because she smells sweet and innocent like only a child could, any kind of flowers, and the distinct smell of my home. It smells like nothing else in the word, but every time I enter I smile because it just smells like home. I love the sound of Dora’s voice, the sound of birds chirping in the morning, and I find the sound of silence to be quite soothing.

Have you ever met a boggart? What does it look like?

When I was a fourth year a professor brought one in. At the time it turned into a large bug, but now it would probably be the death of my family.

Can you cast Patronus? What does it look like? What memory do you use?

No, unfortunately I cannot. That particular spell is one that I’ve always had trouble with. I’ve used various memories but the most I’ve ever gotten was a thin silver mist.

What is the worst memory Dementors bring forward?

Childhood. It wasn’t a pleasant experience for me.

If you were to find the Mirror of Erised, what would you see?

I would see myself and Teddy, and Dora as an adult- successful and happy and an extremely gifted witch. And Sirius, smiling and proud of his life, perhaps with a girl on his arm.

Tell me a couple secrets about yourself:

I was terrified to become a mother. For a brief period of time I considered running away once the baby was born because I was convinced that I would be a disgrace to it. But Ted confronted me one day and reassured me that he would never leave my side and I would be a terrific mother.

Personality:

Looks

Distinguishing Features:

I’m extremely average looking, but that’s more than find with me. I like to wear a lot of funky-chunky jewelry, which Dora loves to grab on to and play with. I have a small mole behind my left ear and a few freckles on my shoulders.

Not-so-distinguishing features:

My hair is brown. That’s it, just plain brown. Eyes are light brown, nothing exciting there. I’m not very tall, only about 5’5” and I’ll never reveal my weight, however I will say that I’m perfectly normal. I have a few curves and I’m damn proud of them.

Appearance:

Pale skin, hair is almost always down as it comes to my waist. I’m usually in a dress because that’s what I’m most comfortable in and I don’t wear shoes unless absolutely necessary.

Place of Birth:

London, England. How’s that for original, eh?

Immediate family:

Of course my husband, Ted Tonks and daughter Nymphadora. My mother and father, Cygnus and Druella, older sister Bellatrix and younger sister Narcissa.

Extended family:

Aunt Walburga and Uncle Alphard Black on my father’s side, along with my cousins Sirius and Regulus. Orion Black is my uncle by marriage, as well as second cousin once removed. My grandparents Pollux and Black and Irma Crabbe and my family-by-marriage the Tonks’.

Other important people:

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Potter’s. Anyone at Hogwarts really, and any friend of Sirius is a friend of mine.

Pets:

At the moment being a new mother and a wife is plenty of chaos. I don’t think I could handle an animal right now.

History:

Must we? It’s not exactly a pleasant tale…. Oh alright.

I’m the middle child of three girls- yippee. As a child I tried to keep to myself, mostly because Bella and Cissy would give me hell if I said anything about their ways. From a young age I knew I didn’t fit in with the rest of my family and instead of speaking out all the time I shut my mouth and tried to ignore them.

Life at Hogwarts wasn’t perfect, but it was ten times better than home. People had a tendency to judge me because of my family, which made gaining friends a bit harder than most. However I was able to do as I pleased and that freedom alone made me happy. Eventually people started to come around and give me a chance, allowing me to prove that I was different.

In my second year I met Ted Tonks and realized soon after that he was my soul mate. We married as soon as we left Hogwarts and my family couldn’t have disapproved any more if they tried. They soon disowned me and I haven’t looked back since. We found a small house in London and a few years later, Dora was born. Right now I am the happiest I’ve ever been in my life and I have no regrets whatsoever about my decisions.

Misc

Anything else you want to share? I found the PERFECT person to play her. Look up Odette Yustman, I think she looks EXACTILY like Dromeda. If I get accepted I'm going to change my icon to her.

Oh, and ESPE FTW!!!

Sorry, I'm not trying to contradict Spider or anything, and I'm sure there's a sensible explanation, so could someone explain for me where the personality section's gone?
