Rowan Alaine Eloise

Magus of the Gilded Thorns
"And the old religion, humming in your veins; Some animal instinct starting up again..." - Florence + The Machine

Description & Personality

Mask:

At 5'7", Rowan is just a hair above average height and just thin enough to come across as reedy from a distance. her auburn hair comes to just about the start of her shoulders and has a hint of wave to it. It's rarely down and often kept in place with a piece of antler used as a hair pin. her attire varies between rustic homespun and bargain bin donations. 

There is, for better or worse, always some sort of dirt and dinge on her person; like someone taking a break from a day in the garden.


Mein:

You'd be forgiven if you mistook Rowan for a fairest at a distance. Her complexion is pale and lightly striated. Her hair remains much the same behind the mask, though her longer side burns are largely foliage. In the spring they are adorned with small white flowers. Summer gives way to bright red berries through the season, and in autumn the long and serrated leaves shimmer with a teal to purple fade that darkens to silver and black in the long winter months. Her skin has all the texture and appearance of flower petals, rather than bark. From the tips of her fingers, faint dark whorls of thorns and brambles are tattooed across her skin. The also show along her neck and curl at the edges of her jaw and along her cheeks. Her shadow is less forgiving, showing long and curling vines sharp barbs and thorns. 

Role Playing Hooks

Fresh from the Thorns:

Rowan has only been with the Freehold for about two months. She seems far more comfortable within the Hedge itself and has no ties to Anchorage, or Alaska for that matter. She's a misplaced anachronism from the South. Any help would likely be appreciated. 

hedge guide:
As a Farwalker, Rowan is more than capable of getting folks from one point to the next. She is perfectly at home in the thorns, and the mundane world's wilderness is nearly a cake walk as well. Should you need assistance getting somewhere, dangerous or otherwise, Rowan is more than capable. 

Wards and blessings:
 Rowan knows her way around various blessings, wards, and rustic methods of healing. She may be a permanent fixture yet within the Freehold, but she is no less willing to help.

homeless vagrant (mASK):
 Dingy clothes and a layer of dirt are just part and parcel of everyday living for Rowan. She does look rather squalorous. Maybe she just likes gardening?
