Natalia Gastiain Tena (born November 1, 1984) is an English actress and musician.
Tena is of Spanish descent[citation needed] and was educated at Bedales School, where she was a contemporary of Lily Allen.[citation needed]
Tena made her professional debut as Ellie in About a Boy (2002), and began acting full time in 2003. She has played lead roles in stage adaptations of Gone to Earth in 2004, and Nights at the Circus in 2006, and has appeared in smaller roles in other productions, including Shared Experience's production of Bronte in 2005.
She last appeared in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as Nymphadora Tonks, a role she will reprise in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.[1] Although her appearance in Order of the Phoenix was relatively brief, she hosted a behind-the-scenes featurette entitled "Trailing Tonks" for the subsequent DVD release. Tena is credited as producer and director of the featurette.
In 2007 Tena joined the band Nat Jenkins and the Delmars, in which she sings and plays accordion. [citation needed] During the aforementioned DVD featurette "Trailing Tonks", Tena performs an original Christmas-themed blues song on guitar, claiming to have composed it while working as a busker on the London Underground (although she appears to state this with tongue in cheek).[2]
In 2008 she will tour the UK in The Clean House as well as featuring in the film Lecture 21. [citation needed]
