Ted is one of three boys. He has identical twin younger brothers that are still disappointed neither of them was born with magic.

There is a two year age gap between them.

Ted tries to see them at least twice a week. They take the job of being uncles seriously.

Nymphadora has all of the Tonks men wrapped around her finger.

Ted’s parents are very religious. He was raised as a Catholic and will go to church with his mother when she asks. Other than that, Ted would say he is not overly religious.

He has recently pulled his childhood rosary out of hiding and can occasionally be found holding onto it at home

His parents met when his father was on vacation in Spain. The two fell in love and it wasn’t long before the wedding happened.

His brothers live at home with his parents and occasionally grace him and Andromeda with their presence for days at a time.

Ted’s father is from Wales. His mother was raised in Spain. The two live in a country house on the coast of Wales.

With the war coming on, Ted is grateful that his parents and brothers are not in England.

His biggest fear is someone doing something to his family. It’s a weakness that he wishes wasn’t easy to exploit.

Both parents speak Spanish and made it a point to make sure their sons knew it as well.

The Tonks were considered working class while Ted was growing up. There were times when there was little food on their plates while growing up and he often wore clothes that were almost shabby looking.

A childhood spent with loving and encouraging parents quickly made up for missed meals and worn-out shoes.

He took on a paper route at age nine to help out - not because his parents encouraged him to but simply because he wanted to - and was prone to using the savings from that on his brothers.

Magic came as a shock.

Ted showed signs of accidental magic at age five. It came in the form of his summoning a toy that was out of reach.

Later incidents involved lights flickering when he was mad or upset. He accidentally attacked a boy that was picking on one of his brothers and that scared the kids in the neighborhood enough to want nothing to do with him the last couple of summers before he started Hogwarts.
