i think rowanstar is an interesting character, one who starts out so confident and strong but later turns into an insecure hopeless cat over time with his clanmates’ disloyalty and so much turmoil. it ate away at his personality— turning him into an empty husk of himself. i also think he had big shoes to fill being blackstar’s successor, and that kind of pressure can change someone.
