She has a floaty type of personality. Always ready to change her plans to help her brothers. She will take jabs at her too seriously. If you say her hair looks ugly, she will seriously contemplate cutting it. Other than that, she stays on the happy side of the spectrum, and on London's birthday she brings maple syrup from the forest and freezes it so it will be like maple candy. Jais wasn't old enough to have any so he never got them. Rowan is generally and very free spirit.

She was a priestess to the Sirens and she should have been a trash sorter but went to the forest every day instead.

The red color in the forest when the trees start to lose their leaves. She absolutely loves this color, and has a jar of perfectly preserved leaves of this color at home.

When she went to a feast for Aycetism in the forest, they had frost blackberries and raspberries. These are berries dipped in water and then frozen so they are a crisp treat. Rowan had never had berries before that, so the first time she had then she thought that they were the most amazing things she'd tasted.

Her books. She scavenged a whole bookshelf of them that someone had thrown out. It took her three trips to get them to her home, but ever since she has read them nonstop. She has read all the books over 5 times and some of the books she almost knows by heart. She will quote from them a lot whenever she is talking.

Twin blades that she received when she became a priestess of the forest. She wears them on her back in sheaths. They are carved with Siren and nature symbols and she can draw on their power if she needs to while killing a creature.

Fox

She doesn't practice any religions from the city, but she practices Aycetism in the forest with the other Sirens.

Rowan's mother was a siren named Kimber Brooks, but her father did not know this when they had a child. Kimber ran off to the forest and Rowan was left with her father. She had an okay childhood, nothing too big or small happened. When her brother came to live with her, she was 6 at the time, and he was only 1. She loved him immediately and stayed with him while their father was off gallivanting with The Black Crosses. When she turned nine, she was supposed to start working as a trash sorter but she went to the forest instead. For the first couple of months, she spent her time reading, exploring, and climbing trees. Then one day she found the Sirens. The Sirens took her in and she lived with them for a couple of weeks so they could perform the rituals of making her a full Siren before going back home. She joined their group during the day only came back during the night hours. She feasted, practiced religion, and fought with them. Then her second brother came along and and Adrienne, the mother, lived with them for a year. Rowan always liked Adrienne because Adrienne had the same personality that Rowan did. Then she got murdered by The Black Crosses a year after Jais was born and Rowan went back to the woods for a short amount of time to mourn. She came back two months later int he dead of the night to see her father running down the streets with a black cloak pulled over his head. Se did not try to stop him but went back to the house instead. Jais was 1 and a sixth and London was 10 at the time. Rowan took care of her brothers for another year adn a half before the Black Crosses came back and attacked them. She was able to keep the brothers safe when they attacked but they stabbed her in the stomach. She crumpled on the floor, dead to her brothers and the Black Crosses so they left the house. Later, a siren from the woods found her and dragged her to the Siren camp and healed her. She is still living as a full fledged siren but only the Sirens know about this. Both her brothers think she is dead and she is still trying to figure out a way to tell them that she is alive.

The 29th of Osh

She could read and write perfectly. She knew how to speak Lixian, as well as Jiamese, Oedesh, Alosian, and Euxian. She never went to "school."

Nobody knows about it, but she has a companion fox that stays with her and goes wherever she goes every day. She nicknamed him Onyx because he has a black patch on his front left foot.

While living among the sirens, she met Cassia and they quickly fell in love. Sirens do not get married, but instead bond their life forces together. Rowan and Cassia have already performed the ritual, and haven't been separated since the day Rowan supposedly died.
