Nymphadora Tonks is their daughter. When Harry first sees Andromeda, he almost mistakes her for her sister, Bellatrix Lestrange , and is on the point of casting a jinx at her, but cannot find his wand. She, like her husband, is dismayed to hear that they had been ambushed by Death Eaters, and is concerned that her daughter may have gotten hurt. We don't see much of Andromeda, but we know she must have significant strength of character to marry Ted Tonks, a Muggle-born, in the full knowledge that this would cause the Black family to effectively cast her out.
Her family — especially Nymphadora Tonks — is her weakness. This being all the family she has, with the Blacks disowning her, she will be concerned, perhaps overly so, with the wellbeing of her husband and daughter. Andromeda Tonks very plainly didn't fit in with the rest of the Black family, but she wasn't different enough from the rest of them to buck the Black tradition of being sorted into Slytherin at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As any Harry Potter viewer or reader already knows, Slytherin house has a reputation for being the fostering ground for nearly any dark wizard who ever attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But that reputation is almost entirely unfair, and Andromeda Tonks is really a perfect example of how good and kind many Slytherin students can wind up being. Andromeda's status as a member of the Black family undoubtedly contributed towards her being sorted into Slytherin, but she eschewed all of the darkest beliefs of her family and seemed to be an amalgamation of all of the best traits that Slytherin house has to offer.
This could probably go without saying simply because Andromeda and Sirius seem to be the only members of the Black family who aren't pure blood racists, but Sirius has openly stated that Andromeda Tonks was his favorite cousin and the only member of his family that he actually enjoyed being around.
The pressure to conform to the standards of house Black are very strong, so strong that almost no one ever bucks their traditions and branches out on their own, but Sirius and Andromeda were two notable exceptions to that. And it's nice to know that they at least had each other when the rest of their family banished them.
The middle child of any family always has their particular issues to deal with, but the thought of being the middle child stuck between Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy sounds like a horror show unlike any other. Obviously once the entire Black family disowned Andromeda being the middle sister in this trio ceased to be an issue, but it must have been impossibly tough to be a remotely normal, kind person when your older sister is a certifiably insane demon child and your younger sister is an arrogant and cruel elitist.
That only goes to show what an inherently extraordinary person Andromeda was, though. As anyone who is familiar with Harry Potter knows, one of the most tragic losses in the Second Wizarding War and the Battle of Hogwarts was the death of married couple Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin. And what only served to make their deaths more tragic was the son that they left behind, Teddy Lupin.
Despite the fact that Harry Potter was Teddy's godfather and godparents are traditionally the ones who care for a child if that child loses their parents it was actually Andromeda and Ted Tonks who raised Teddy after his parents died Harry did offer some assistance though.
