Summary
After being dumped from door to door in the middle of the night and passed idly from relative to relative as if she were an unopened, unwanted Christmas present with no tag and no receipt, the only daughter of the late James and Lily Potter was eventually thrust upon a poorly funded and overpopulated orphanage. Surrounded by orphaned children who loathed her for being younger and staff who lived in fear of her ominous abilities, she resigned herself to a meaningless life of misery and regret; one small, irrelevant drop in an uncaring ocean of loneliness and isolation, waiting to be washed ashore and left to silently fade away.
Well, that was until she discovered that fate wasn’t quite finished with her yet, as she received a rather strange letter one day.
“Is that...?”
She gasped with shock as she inspected the extravagant, flourished letters that swirled in beautiful loops across the front of the perfectly sealed envelope that she held within her small, delicate and suddenly trembling hands.
“... is that my name?”

Summary
As a child, Tonks had always dreamed of being an auror. She often wandered the streets of Diagon Alley with her parents, marvelling at the wonders of magic. Now, when she walks those same streets she sees nothing but a fragile façade that hides a deep darkness.
At Hogwarts, Tonks realized she needed to be an auror. There was really no other option was there? As a metamorph, it seemed that everyone in the world wanted to use her in some way. If she didn't want to be a victim, she needed to be strong.
As an auror, Tonks discovered the truth of the world. A woman. A metamorph. A half-blood. All aspects of herself in which she found her pride. All reasons why she would never be anything more than a third-class citizen in magical Britain. Tonks realized she wasn't enough, so she sought to be more.
After a series of tragedies that left her broken, Tonks made a desperate gamble at the expense of her own life.
Tonks died alone, angry, and vengeful. When she died, the whole world shuddered.
Tonks closed her eyes and moved on to her next great adventure.
Someone else was born in her place.
You can call her Nymphadora.
