Sybilla Borgin
Name: Sybilla Borgin
Year: Junior
Patronus Form: Raven
Why?: Birds known for their wisdom as well as for being messengers between the worlds of the living and the dead, able to navigate the duality of light and darkness. They often represent omens of death in battle, and are scavenger birds, picking from those slain in war (symbolism of dead relatives from the wizarding wars, perhaps, Sylla?). In many cultures they represent creation, of bringing life from death and darkness. But on a less mythological level, ravens are extremely clever birds, are adaptable and intelligent, very linked to their family groups, highly territorial, and are known to form lifelong monogamous relationships.
(If you feel like some tl;dr on raven mythology as linked to their actual characteristics and traits, I.E. ravens have zero chill and are perfect for Sylla's patronus form.)
Also note - she is still convinced this will be her animagus form, but it most certainly is not. In any way, shape, or form. But she'll find that bad news out eventually.
Their happy memory: The first time her father let her into his workshop at home and assist him with a project for Borgin & Burke's. She was 10, so she wasn't able to cast any spells, but she did help with some translations and arcane spell theory, and hearing her father say he is so proud of her and seeing his wide grin is the happiest memory she has ever felt.
Their attempt: Probably decent? She's a strong, intuitive spell caster, able to focus on the task at hand since it means a lot to her, but we'll see with rolls.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: DADA
