Name: Rowan
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Orientation: Unknown
Breed: Arabian Cross (50% Arabian 50% Appaloosa)

House Reference: [X]
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hobbies:

Worship: There are all sorts of ways she worships her patron God. Usually she will spend it at the Cascade shrine her mother set up in their home, but simply going outside and admiring their handiwork is worship in her eyes.
Gardening: Living on farmlands, it makes perfect sense to grow your own food. The modest family cottage has a good sized garden with several fruit and vegetable patches. Whilst this is not a natural skill for her, she enjoys it all the same, especially if it means one less trip to town for supplies. It has come in handy for her rank too, as she is learning how to grow useful substances to treat the sick.
Foraging: Being a medic, she has a duty to go out and find useful herbs and the like for her craft. How can she cure illnesses without the right medicines?
Nature Lover: Naturally, being as religious as she is, basking herself in nature is like cloaking herself in the God's love.
Learning & Reading: She will do all in her power to perfect her craft, even if it means spending a full day doing nothing but reading.

Traits & Quirks

Religious: She was raised with God in her heart and her faith is unshakeable.
Slow: Physically she is quite weak. Her legs and back typically ache which makes her slow to move about.
Likeable: She's an inoffensive character who is considerate of others. This has made her quite a likeable soul.
Spacey: The wonders of even the smallest details of the earth are enough to make her sit and watch the world go by in awe. How wonderful the Gods are indeed!
Nervous: Very jumpy and fearful in nature.
Neat: "Cleanliness is Godliness". Her home and her coat must be spotless. This, however, conflicts with her love of nature, gardening and foraging.
Generous: With not an ounce of greed in her she would happily give her last meal to someone in need.
Scared Of The Dark: "Who wouldn't be! You can't know what's in the darkness!"
Spooky: Being a believer in the afterlife, she also believes that those who have strayed the good God's path can be doomed to walk the earth as spirits if they 'don't go elsewhere'. Her belief in spirits is quite negative and she is convinced that most, if not all, spirits are evil and seek to do harm to the living (even if it is just by scaring them).
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Personality

Forgiving: "All deserve forgiveness and love, anyone who has done wrong can seek forgiveness in Cascade"
Hopeful: Hopeful that one day all herds will unite as one and that slavery will end. She sees a bright future in bleak circumstances and knows the Gods have great plans for her. Of course, she can't know what they are, but she is ever faithful.
Friendly: Approachable, likeable, easy to get along with unless you don't like Cascade (if not, expect to hear all about her wonders).
Humble: "I am one of many with no defining features"
Empathetic: If you tell her your sob stories, she'll cry a river. She's incredibly emotional.
Daydreamy: Continuously in awe of the wonders of Cascade and Kaia, she'll gladly spend hours watching the scenery and silently praising the Gods
Naive: She does not foresee any dangers other than being kidnapped and sold as a slave and thus accidentally sees her self in troubles often
Simple: She's not the brightest bulb, she's a simple pony with a simple life and simple tastes (and a very simple mind).
Obedient: She will do as she is told and will keep her head down and mouth shut, the only thing she will not do is harm others
Fearful: After seeing the state of Reginleif the night her father died, she has been terrified that one day cultists will come for her some day. As she grew older, this paranoia stayed and grew significantly. She is now also worried that slavers will kidnap her and maybe even kill her. This is her biggest fear of all. She is, at the end of the day, an ill looking filly with weak scrawny legs and not much fight in her. She'd be easy pickings indeed!

Story

Named after the rowan trees at her family's home where she was born. The small country cottage is located out in the farmlands of Onea by a small river that's popular with herders and their flocks in the tight-knit community. Her mother was a Medic who started to teach her daughter the wonders of the craft from a young age. She was essentially born into her rank. Her father on the other hand was a Raider, part of the War Forged army. He enjoyed patrolling the farm lands for potential dangers like wildlife and thieves. Sadly, this was to contribute to his death.
At twilight hours, on his way home from the market he spotted a group of dark figures race from the woods and to a neighbour's farm. He thought it odd and decided to investigate. He was met with a gang of cultists, unbeknownst to him it was the Night Of Bloodletting. They had had their sights on a young, innocent filly in that farm home and knew she and her frail family would be easy pickings for their torturous holiday. Though he met his end that night, the filly managed to escape with her life and alert other neighbours of what was happening. When Rowan's mother found out what had happened to her husband, and saw the now orphaned filly, she took her in. Reginleif was her name. Rowan and Reginleif grew up together as great friends and sadly had to witness the deterioration of Rowan's mother who was sick with grief. No amount of care or love could replace what had been taken from her (Rowan's mother, Rose) and today she wavers on a fine line of life and death and the will to go on no longer exists.

How does she feel about the death of her father?: While it saddens her, she has dealt with it well as she feels comforted that he is with the Gods. This was a test from them to her and she will stay strong and positive on the path they have set. It has not shaken her belief, unlike with her mother who has cursed the Gods since. She has forgiven her dad's murderers, even if others cannot understand why. She believes that their hearts have been clouded with hatred, dark forces and their evil Gods. All can seek forgiveness with Cascade.

Rowan's Mother: Her name is Rose, named after the roses her mother used to grow which are still in the garden today (beside the grave). She is a purebred Arabian, 15hh, and 48 years old. Her coat colour is a sickly looking fleabitten grey, with four white pasterns, star and snip. She was brought up religious, like she has raised Rowan, and had a deep dedication to her patron God, Cascade. After the death of her Husband, she retired from her medical profession and has since slipped into deep depression. She has turned against the Gods, and curses them for what they let happen (much to Rowan's frustration).

Growing Up: Rowan was largely left to raise herself, with Leif by her side. Her mother, Rose, had grown quite mad with grief and was incapable of looking after herself, never mind her child and adopted child. Rowan was bullied from a young age due to her crazed mum but Leif would always be there to beat them down.
Her mum had passed on her craft, medicine, to Rowan. This has come in handy as she is the soul caregiver to her mother. Whilst she has a knack for it, she fears that nothing can be done for her mum and that soon she will slip away in her sleep. She (her mum) doesn't eat, barely sleeps, and hardly moves. She has planted herself by the grave of her husband and will remain there until she, too, is put in the ground to rest beside him.

The Future: Whilst she enjoys treating the local farmers and herders of nasty bug bites and sun burn she feels that the Gods want her to do bigger things in the city. She understand her mother will pass soon and when she does Rowan may decide to sell the old family home and move somewhere busier. She knows Leif wants this too and will happily go along with it to please her. They are inseparable and Rowan can't imagine life without Leif beside her.
