Cedric Diggory
A young Auror and member of the Order of the Phoenix who goes by her surname. She's a Metamorphmagus, which means that she can change her appearance at will. Though this helped her when she took the tests to qualify as an Auror, she's extremely clumsy and so barely passed the tests in stealth and tracking. She constantly knocks things over at number twelve, Grimmauld Place, and often wakes up Mrs. Black's portrait. She's a distant cousin of Sirius's, but Mrs. Black burned Tonks's mother off of the family tree because she married a Muggle. Despite her clumsiness, Tonks is a skilled fighter.
