You said to ask questions so I’ll ask you a question: What’s your favourite thing about Tonks?

sirussly:

(( OOC: I think Tonks has such potential for being a brilliant, rounded female character. Unfortunately she wasn’t as developed as she could have been in the books, and we won’t even MENTION the films, but here’s my take:

Everything about Tonks is a contradiction. Her mother comes from one of the most elite pureblood households in wizarding Britain, yet Tonks is this funny, clumsy character that utterly breaks any illusion of superiority. But she’s not some bumbling fool – Tonks is one of the youngest and most talented Aurors on the force. A canonical badass. And yet she’s not one of these cold, stand-offish female characters we so often see in our media, women who are required to be harsh and emotionless in order to be strong. In fact, Tonks is one of the most violently emotional characters we see in the books. Which yes, prompts rash decision-making and emotional outbursts… but those character flaws are what make her so human and relatable. She’s brash and clever and ambitious, and SO BRAVE – but she’s not a Gryffindor or a Slytherin or a Ravenclaw. She’s a Hufflepuff who would die to protect her loved ones… and that’s exactly what she did.

I think we need more female characters who are unapologetically emotional, characters who prove you can still be one of the most positive forces of energy there is… but when ass needs kicking, it gets kicked.

I have a lot of feelings about Nymphadora Tonks. ))
