Tonks here:
Ok folks, I couldn't let this one pass now could I? I am a little
off balance because I am not using my cane. (Some of you will know
what I mean.) And who are you calling a fat lady!!
As to my character in the books. I am not a male. If you were a
young lady with a name like Nymphadora, for God sakes, would you
want anyone to know that!!! Think of what it would be like in
school, the teasing
oh, I don't want to remember those days!! I
got enough teasing at Hogwarts because I am a half-blood with out
the name too. WHAT WAS MY MOTHER THINKING?!
(well maybe we know
what my mother was thinking!!... but we won't go there
)
The author probably made me a klutz because is adds to my charm.;-)
Also as some of you have said, it may well be a clue in book 6 and 7
when someone is a klutz you might know who it is really is
but
there might be a bit more to it than that. Someone could pretend to
be Tonks while not being her so that you will think it is Tonks ..
er I mean me.
And it is very difficult to balance when you are always changing
around. Kinda like trying to balance on one foot all of the time.
