analysis:
pippin is the endearing nickname by which peregrin took is universally recognized.
he endowed with the name pippin has a great desire for all the pleasantries a life of affluence has to offer.
pippin has a drive within him and pursues all endeavors with a fervor. he is idealistic works hard to see his ideal goals reached.
his enthusiasm and aggressiveness often prove sufficient enough to achieve any aim he has in mind, but pippin must be tactful he doesn't burst after a target and over-extend his resources, or himself- especially if trying only to impress people, as he may be inclined to do.
pippin would do well to learn patience and perseverance, as neither are strengths with him. he needs also to learn the importance of minding details. pippin needs to sharpen his attentions and chase after goals gradually, rather than running headlong into a task.
generally speaking, pippin is magnanimous, generous and ever ready to offer his support and assistance to others. when he is under stress he is apt to show his annoyance with sarcasm and a belittling attitude towards others.
if pippin ever became too focussed on reaching his personal ideals, which tend to be very high, he'd continually feel disappointed, especially with those close to him. he'd feel no one could live up to his expectations and that his ideals would remain unfulfilled.
if the zealous pippin could breathe a moment and relax he would soon discover things are fine. no need to leap right in the thick of things. he is strong enough to see his goals through, he just has to focus that wild energy of his to do so.
