Biography
Rowan first appears when Leaf is arguing with his parents about where Wren went, occasionally breaking into the conversation. Eventually, she tells him about the Dragonslayer, who she heard about from her friend Grove. Leaf gets excited and wants to become a dragonslayer to avenge Wren, but their parents forbid them from doing so. However, at school, Rowan secretly teaches Leaf what she knows about dragonslaying, as long as Leaf keeps it secret.
Rowan, along with Cranberry, Cardinal, and Arbutus were the scavengers who fought Tsunami and Starflight in the SkyWing Arena. She was one of the two female scavengers to survive the fight.
Quotes
"It is too possible." - About killing dragons.
"I think Leaf should know about the Dragonslayer, that's all."
"He's not a myth. My friend Grove says it's all true, [...] Grove's family used to live in the Indestructible City and they had wandering travelers come through all the time and some of them had even met the Dragonslayer."
"It's not an idea, it's a fact, [...] the Dragonslayer was only a young man, but he was determined to fight to free his people, and so he rode far out into the desert one night, [...] He crept right inside the lair of the sand dragon queen, and he fought a great battle with her, and the blood sprayed and the scales flew, until finally he cut off her head and stole all her treasure and rode back home, triumphant."
"He brought the venomous tail of the dragon queen back with him as proof, [...] The treasure made him the wealthiest man in the entire world. Rich, powerful, dangerous: the slayer of dragons, the hero of men!"
"Serves you right and you know why!"
"I'm going to help Leaf study, [...] Mother and Father think he could be chosen to be a dragonmancer's apprentice. So naturally I want to help prepare him."
"Old toad, [...] I bet you she'll be a lot nicer to you from now on, just in case you do end up a dragonmancer."
"Yes, [...] but not this boring stuff."
"Well, if you're really going to slay a dragon one day, you'll probably need to practice a little, first."
"I'm going to train you to be a great warrior, [...] but only if you promise not to tell Mother and Father. As far as they know, we're studying for our dragonmancer exams."
"Well, sure, but you won't actually pass them, don't worry. Hardly anyone does. They've only had six apprentices in the last ten years, remember? And I'm not sure they're learning anything besides how to fetch and carry and make goat cheese. The ones who've survived, that is."
"Rule number one, [...] Don't shout like a maniac and warn the dragon you're about to attack. I mean, seriously."
