Rowan (L2)

"Crow and Gorge found out that Mushroom is on his way to steal treasure. […] We have to follow him and come back with treasure for them, or they're going to sacrifice Grove."

— Rowan about the dragonmancers to Cranberry and Thyme, Dragonslayer

Rowan is an adult female human who was introduced in Dragonslayer. She is Wren and Leaf's oldest sister, and helped Leaf become a dragonmancer apprentice.

Appearance

Rowan was described to have dark brown eyes.

Personality

Rowan was a distant figure to her siblings, often going fishing with Grove. After Wren got 'sacrificed,' Rowan was more sympathetic to Leaf and took him under her wing. She can be strict with training and she had a great love for treasure. She was slightly greedy as she tricked Leaf into becoming a dragonslayer even though the actual enemies were the dragonmancers. However, she feels guilty for tricking her brother as after Rowan and Leaf escape with their teammates, she confesses that Wren's "death" was orchestrated by the dragonmancers.

Legends

Dragonslayer

Rowan appeared when Leaf was arguing with his parents about where Wren went, occasionally breaking into the conversation. Eventually, she told him about the Dragonslayer, who she heard about from her friend Grove. Leaf got excited and wanted to become a dragonslayer to avenge Wren, but their parents forbid them from doing so. After school, Rowan secretly taught Leaf what she knew about dragonslaying, as long as Leaf kept it secret. Eventually, she was captured by the SkyWings along with Leaf while trying to catch Mushroom. She along with Cranberry, Cardinal, and Arbutus fought in the arena. Rowan and Cranberry were the only ones to survive, Cranberry mentioning how great Rowan was in the arena. After she reunited with Leaf, she confessed the truth about Wren's death, revealing to him that she was sacrificed by the dragonmancers.

She later appeared when Wren was revealing the dragonmancers' secrets to Talisman. Leaf unlocked the jail, releasing Rowan and Grove. After leaving Talisman, she apologized to Wren for telling their parents about the books. Rowan, alongside Grove, Cranberry and Thyme decide to build a town with the stolen SkyWing treasure at Leaf's suggestion.

Relationships

Cranberry

Cranberry is mentioned to be Rowan's best friend, and are very close. The two fought in the SkyWing Arena together and are said to often spend their time together.

Grove

Grove is one of Rowan's close friends. Rowan prefers to be off with him over her younger siblings and was determined to save Grove from being sacrificed by the dragonmancers.

Leaf

Before the events of Dragonslayer, Rowan was distant from her younger brother. After Wren was 'sacrificed,' she shows more sympathy towards him. She decides to train Leaf so she could use his help to steal treasure, though she thought that she was giving him a way to fight back by training him. Rowan feels guilty for lying to him.
