Appearance: Hair: Chestnut brown, hanging to about the middle of her back, with two twists tied in front behind her ears Eyes: Green Skin: Tanned Height: 5'8" Build: Slender but strong
Personality:
Rowan is very connected to the land and is freer than most people of the world, even her fellow elves. She is cheerful, lighthearted, and remembers the innate connection with nature that her fellow elves have too often forgotten. Nobody can tie her down for long, but nor will she speak of her family or of the jagged scar that runs from shoulder to hip on her back...
History:
Rowan is a ranger, a free spirit who roams the lands protecting the forests and sylvan creatures. Her principal weapon is a wicked halberd that is taller than she is, but she also carries a curved falchion (heavy scimitar) and a couple of daggers. She has to carry all of these weapons because she is a wanderer, living in the wilds of the untamed lands. Rowan has few possessions, only her clothes, weapons, a few trinkets, and her herb satchel. Her most treasured possession is a unicorn's-head pendant that she always wears. The pendant has many protective and healing powers, and can be used to summon Rowan's dearest friend, the astral unicorn Epona.
She has an extensive knowledge of herbs and healing, a gift that she uses to heal whomever is truly in need. Her herb satchel is deceptively small, but the interior is enchanted to hold whatever the carrier desires to store. (She's been known to pull half a bush out of that bag, and sometimes even stores her halberd in it. It's a useful little thing.)
Rowan doesn't talk about her past, so nobody knows much about her. Her secret is a jagged, raw scar that runs from her right shoulder to left hip. Although the wound is years old, it has never healed properly and is often inflamed and painful. Those who know about the scar suspect that it has something to do with why she never talks about herself, but those who are halfway sensitive do not ask about it.
