FAVOURITE...
|COLOUR| ⋄ He is rather fond of earthy tones; chestnut brown and mustard yellow are amongst his most preferred.
|HIDING SPOT| ⋄ He has multiple, as he goes through phases of introversion, where he likes to keep to himself. The Hogwarts kitchens at nighttime is good for comfort food whereas the very edge of The Forbidden Forest has an exquisite view over the lake.
|DISH|⋄ A classic roast dinner makes his knees go soft every time.
|ANIMAL| ⋄ Magpies as they are social creatures and way more intelligent than people give them credit for.
|BOOK| ⋄ Again; he has multiple, but The Tales of Beedle the Bard and especially The Fountain of Fair Fortune never lets him down.
|SEASON| ⋄ Early autumn where the leaves change colour.
|ICE CREAM FLAVOUR| ⋄ Pistachio.
|FLOWER| ⋄ He does not have a specified favourite, however wildflowers reminds him of his home in Tintagel.
|COUNTRY TO VISIT| ⋄ He has never really been outside of the UK, but would love to go hiking in Canada sometime.
|FRUIT| ⋄ Freshly picked apples.
|MUSICAL GENRE| ⋄ He is openminded regarding music and listens to a bit of everything depending on his mood (which comes across in his large and varied collection of records).
|DRINK| ⋄ Not one day can go by without him having a cup of tea. Darjeeling, but don't bother poisoning it with neither milk nor sugar.

|TIME OF DAY| ⋄ He has a strange fondness for waking up in the middle of the night to enjoy the silence of the castle.
|SOUND| ⋄ The sound of the waves hitting the rocks; another reminder of his hometown.
|ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE| ⋄ The thought of losing control really freaks him out, so he prefers sticking to the non-alcoholic assortment. Either that or the more light-hearted stuff such as ginger-beer.
|MONTH| ⋄ September ranks very highly on his list; it means going back to school and its when autumn are at its prettiest.
|GEMSTONE| ⋄ Amber.
|WORD| ⋄ "Fraternity."
|ELEMENT| ⋄ Earth.
|EYE COLOUR| ⋄ He likes to think he doesn't have a preference, however he tends to drift towards brown eyes for some inexplicable reason.
|SWEET TREAT| ⋄ Literally any of his dad's baked good. Yes, his father bakes, and so does Kieran in fact.
|LANGUAGE| ⋄ The Marshall-family has ties back to Ireland, which has made him strangely fond of the sound of the Irish and Gaelic language.
|TEXTURE| ⋄ Stroking his fingers through Lumas fur.
|WEATHER CONDITION| ⋄ He is not picky regarding the weather, but sunny winter-mornings does wonders for his spirit.
|MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURE| ⋄ Kelpies fascinate him an awful lot.

PATRONUS
T H Ex O R Y X
PROTECTIVE & CALM
Oryxes are social animals and group together in herds of 50 – 200. This creature is incredibly adapted to go for very long periods of time without water and has specialized traits that few ungulates have that allow them to survive in desert habitats. They can extract moisture from almost anything, including the dry desert grass and shrubs. Mothers are very protective of their calves and use their long horns to defend them at all costs.
The caster of an Oryx patronus is content and extremely adaptable. He uses his head when in sticky situations, and can turn the nearest object into any kind of tool or weapon if need be. He is exceptionally kind and sociable, but retreats on occasion when in need of personal space or time to think thinks through. He might not excel at core school subjects, but when it comes to common sense, he is brighter than the average person. The caster sees beauty, validity and quality and in every little thing, and tries to make the most of what is at hand. The Oryx patronus symbolises an ability to adapt to even the most difficult circumstances, turning them into opportunities and leaving the world a tiny bit better than tha caster found it. He is thankful for his surroundings, knowing the worth and value of every little thing or person he surrounds himself with.
