Cole Moss Name: Cole Moss Year: Sophomore Patronus Form: Spider Why?: Spider webs can be among the most beautiful and intricate structures created in the natural world and building them is a fundamental, necessary part of a spider's survival. This is a fitting parallel for Cole's relationship with his art. He wouldn't know what to do or how to live without it. In addition to being associated with creation and resourcefulness, spiders are often connected to the limitless, the mysterious, the powerful, and the strange. Like Cole, they're a little hard to get and a little misunderstood. Their happy memory: When he received Leonora, his barn owl, as a gift from his father before going off to Ilvermorny. She's been fussing over him and protecting him and grousing at him ever since and the memory couldn't make him happier. Their attempt: In typical Cole fashion, he shows up for the lesson and zones out while Ms. Lilywhite talks and goes through the exercise with an annoying lack of focus. He is, however, an adept wizard and fairly even-tempered (so he doesn't have much emotional control to exert anyway), so he may manage. If he does fail, though, he'll be more confused than upset (because that almost never happens to him) and go consult Calvin since he's got this!
