Robin Youngblood Name: Robin Youngblood Year: Senior Patronus Form: Platypus Why?: The OOC answer is that Robin thinks platypuses are not real animals and were created in a zoo lab by scientists (probably paid by the Illuminati or something, idk, this is an increasingly complicated conspiracy). The IC answer is that platypuses are symbolic of paradoxes, which Robin is…not afraid of, he’ll say something that directly contradicts something he said earlier, ANYTHING COULD BE WRONG. HE COULD HAVE BEEN LYING. We just don’t know. They also don’t really fit into ~mainstream society~ and they’re ~totally cool with that~ and Robin is a weird hillbilly hipster and ~actually totally cool with not fitting in with all you mainstream sheeple~. And they look super goofy and like you wouldn’t be afraid of them, but never forget that they’re from Australia and can therefore murder you so the male platypuses have venomous ankle spurs. Which is great because, like Robin, you might not take it seriously until you are in an unexpected amount of pain. Also since he’s in Occlumency, then all of his Occlumency friends totally know his patronus is a platypus, and they STILL have to listen to him bitch about zoo scientists trying to play god. Their happy memory:The first time he killed a bear with his bare hands That didn’t happen, Robin. But it is actually the first time he killed a deer on his own, and his dad said he could probably just about make it if they forgot him out in these here woods. He was seven. It was awesome. Their attempt: Robin has been able to cast a patronus for a while. He probably failed the test on the theory and then cast a full-bodied patronus and was like, “k well that’s all that matters right.” He’s impatient and gets frustrated if his more recent attempts aren’t as strong as earlier attempts, but Robin’s saving grace is his sense of humor. If he can laugh at himself, then he can clear his mind and get this shit done right. Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Both.
