Gender + Pronouns
Female | She/Her
Sexuality
Straight.
Age
Twenty-two years old.
Moral alignment
True neutral.
Occupation
She's a criminal, an outlaw, and she won't sugarcoat it unless you're the law or the kind of person who'll go telling on her. She usually does ranch work when she wants to keep a low profile, but will overall do any kind of odd job if there's money in it for her.
Appearance
Palid skin that is sensitive to the sun. Sharp, dark, almond-shaped eyes. An angular jawline and pointed chin. High cheekbones. A long nose that is somewhat rounded at the end. Thin lips that look as if they're always slightly pursed.
She has long, unruly hair in a shade of dark brown with a red tint. Depending on the light, it can look near-black or mahogany; sometimes it will be in-between, like its true color.
Rowan's upper body, broad shoulders, and well-muscled arms are a bit disproportionate to the rest of her body. The rest of her is, more or less, pretty lithe. She stands at a height of 5'6.
For clothing, Rowan opts for garments with movement and flexibility. She spends long hours riding a horse and hunting, so those two factors are essential.
Her usual attire is as follows: A simple collared shirt or shirtwaist, pale and subtle in color, sometimes with an unassuming pattern. Over her top she'll throw on a vest if there's a chill in the air, a jacket lined with rabbit's fur if the weather is particularly cold. For bottoms, it depends on the weather and the type of work she'll do. Either trousers, a split riding skirt, or a light linen skirt. She usually wears riding gloves.
Personality
Rowan has the quiet, but determined resolve of someone who has face hardship and survived - not to tell the tale - but to move on with her life. An unshakable force of nature born out of necessity.
You'll hardly get a word out of her; she only speaks when she must. She's learned that silence equals safety. She often communicates through body language.
Rowan is concerned with her survival, and her survival only. Laws don't apply to her. Rowan follows her own moral code that she, herself, knows, and nobody else does.
Rowan's emotions are locked tightly away in the pits of her soul - the only people who could access them, are long gone. She comes across to many as unfriendly, and maybe she likes it that way, because then she'll get left alone.
But sometimes, being disliked can limit you.
Does Rowan care? Who knows. Probably not; she's stubborn as a mule and won't change for anybody.
Rowan is a tight-lipped hunter of opportunity who looks out for herself above all.
Voice
Light, succint, and crisp, like a cold autumn day.
Strengths
Independence — She is highly resilient on her own. She keeps her principles and her wits about her, and is not easily swayed by outside direction that may or may not lead her astray.
Tenacity — She has unshakable resolve and sticks firmly to a course of action. This makes her efficient in completing a task.
Marksmanship — Being a good shot became a necessity for Rowan, and she has achieved that for the most part, though she could always improve. She's quick, deft, and mostly accurate wielding her weapon of choice: a revolver (for short distances, at least).
Survival Skills — She is very knowledgable about keeping safe out in the elements, as well as being mentally prepared when emergencies arise.
Weaknesses
Standoffish — This is the drawback to her self-reliance, she works a little too well by herself which causes her to quell any necessary cooperation.
Doggedness — Her determination is another double-edged sword. Yes, she doesn't refuse to give up, but she also never asks herself if she should. She'll carry her goal out until the end, even if it's not worth it or the risk is too high.
Melee / Hand-to-Hand Combat — Yeah, she can pack a punch if you're not expecting it, but Rowan gets in trouble if she's up against a seasoned opponent. Or someone who's moderately skilled, or stronger than her. Basically, she's pretty much bad at this type of fighting and could only last a little bit on ferocity alone.
Poor Sense Of Navigation — Now, just to clarify, she struggles to navigate towns and cities. She fares well in the wilderness, but civilization is its own confusing story.
