Zoey Valentine Name: Z. Year: Senior. Patronus Form: It was red panda, but then I realized I had zero idea why and couldn't even make up any reasons, so!! A bit of thought later, and I think she'd actually have an owl. Why?: Keen sight. The ability to see in darkness, and connection to the spirit realm/psychic ability. It's a symbol of intelligence, wisdom, knowledge. These are all things that Z possesses to some extent (as much as an eighteen year old girl might) and values highly. To me, an owl also seems like the kind of symbolic companion you'd want on your side in a quest for truth or absolute meaning, so -- something Z might need. :)
She's also up all night, kind of weird when you think about it, and looks real cute but has hidden talons. Their happy memory: In the past, she's thought about things like visiting her grandfather Cathal, making Chaser, the time she found that mistake in a potions textbook and got a lot of recognition/interviewed by media for it, etc. These have all previously worked, for varying reasons. This time nothing really feels super right? She focuses instead on this night from over the most recent summer, when she watched the sun rise from the roof of a friend's apartment building and actually felt like things would be okay. Their attempt: Z is probably my most magically talented character, but she's also in a weird place emotionally and might not have the juice for this right now. She tries her best, though. Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Neither.
