Name: Pippa Nightingale
Year: Sophomore
Patronus Form: Sheep! Or, more specifically, a ram.
Why?: I wanted a prey animal for Pippa, and nearly went for something small like a mouse or bunny, but I liked the image of her being a bit of a sheep in real life -- following trends and blindly going along with her friends' plans. She's docile and a ~herd animal~ rather than a loner. But I upgraded her Patronus to a ram because I felt like it needed to be something sturdy and protective. Also, Pippa does have a stubborn streak (buried down deep) and will stand up for her friends or beliefs if she has to. PLUS there are lots of sheep farms where she lives.
Their happy memory: She tried her recent memories from Gooseberry, since she's been happier here than she ever was at Hogwarts, but none of them quite felt strong enough? (Slow dancing with Kurt at the ball might have been a contender, buuuut that memory is tainted by what happened later that night.) So she eventually settled on a happy childhood memory: being asked to sing during a garden party, and everyone applauding her afterwards while she blushed and felt oh so grown up for staying up past her bedtime.
Their attempt: Ahhhh she probably didn't get more than mist, if that. (Don't let me down, RNG!) Pippa deliberately didn't take DADA at Gooseberry because she doesn't like it (it's scary!!!) so casting these kinds of spells isn't really her forte. But she did try! She wanted to discover her Patronus. :(
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Neither!
