______________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description

Rowan has a sweet face that would remind one of child yet her eyes reflect haunting sadness. There is a darkness buried within dark brown eyes that she never speaks of. Her facial features are very pixie-like with her pointed ears and chin, making it known to all of her elven heritage. Yet unlike many of her father's people, she keeps her black hair kept cut short so that the slightly curling edges just tickle her jawline.

While Rowan physically looks frail with her slender frame and pale skin she is a warrior in strength and intellect. She is extremely quick on her feet without the added gift of joining the ranks of the Vigilant Shadows. Also despite her age she looks no more than her late twenties or early thirties.

Rowan likes to wear dark or black clothes with silver accents and jewelry. When she was a ranger she fought with a long handled elven scimitar although she was trained in the use of a regular sword as well as other weapons. She also has some talent with a whip and a longbow, though she claims she is a horrible shot. Yet, even as a Dark Mother she has not completely put away her old ways and will carry a few small blades either under her sleeves or in her boots. She does not like the idea of relying solely on the Shadow Barracks for retrieving her weapons as mistakes can happen under duress.

She also has scarring on her lower stomach, thighs, and chest although it is not something she has ever told anyone about how she got them.

Personality

Apparently shy and sweet-tempered it is always a shock when Rowan is provoked into action. She tends to keep her distance from everything, wishing to assert her fierce independence with a temper to match. It takes much to anger her but once she is, she can be quite violent in her frustration. Rowan is an extremely loyal individual who values justice above all things. She would fight to the death for her family and loved ones without consideration for her own health.

A painful past has left her inwardly insecure and fearful of both herself and others that could get too close to her. The only one who can break through that is her young son who never fails to bring a small to her lips and a softness to her eyes. Even her lover cannot manage that as he is partly cause albeit unknowingly of her inner struggles. Rowan does not know her place in her world anymore. Mother to the Master Shadows' son, former Shadow Ranger, and now restless Dark Mother confined to the Clockwork City, Rowan cannot help but feel her world is closing in around her, tossing her about in a swift-moving current.

History

Rowan's birth was trouble from the moment she was conceived. Her mother was a human while her father was an elf, leading the little family of four to grow up in seclusion for when she was born it was found that her mother had carried not one but two daughters into the world, Kalina and Rowan.

For a small time the family grew up happily but the girls were rarely ever allowed to leave the house and spent much of their time squirreled away from sight. People were not fond of their parents' union and such hatred was eventual their end.

Fire destroyed the Alvar family home and faceless human men waited for the fleeing family torturing them all in unspeakable ways before killing the parents. The girls were fifteen and were to be sold as slaves before they were able to escape in transit. They both ran yet only Rowan completely escaped. Kalina was recaptured, beaten and sold.

Rowan returned to her former home, cut her hair in mourning, and buried the dead before taking up her father's sword. For two years she hunted down the men who had done this, dealing out judgement and death to every last one of them while in search of her sister.

At seventeen her duties to avenge her family were complete. Rowan found her sister who already looked an old woman from the work she had been forced into doing. Kalina died not long after being found as she had been suffering the final stages of a grave illness. Rowan carried her twin's body back to their family home and buried her beside her parent's graves.

Feeling that she no longer had a purpose it was with great relief that she accepted the aid of Shadow Ranger and went on to join the ranks of new Fledglings despite being nearly too old to do so. She excelled quickly in the training ranks, fully devoting herself to the life of a Shadow.

It was at her Initiation Rites that she met the Master Shadows for the first time. She would see him many more times over the centuries she was part of the Vigilant Shadows and eventually the pair would form a relationship that in her mind she saw more as a something of a passing interest than anything serious.

When she fell pregnant it was a great shock to her as she was sure she would never be able to carry children. Fearful, she hid her pregnancy and told no one as she fought with herself over what to do. Eventually, Rowan approached Alucard and asked for a leave of absence for personal reasons that she refused to divulge. His only condition was that she take Shadow Ranger with her, a condition that Rowan refused, sneaking out in the night.

It would be months before she would return, heavy with child and another young boy with his hand encased in her own. Her punishment for her disobedience was mild in comparison to what she had expected. Over time it would be revealed that Rowan had left to say farewell to the graves of those she loved having resolved that if she was going to keep her unborn babe then she was going to cast off the mantle of a Ranger forevermore. While she was there, Rowan also reclaimed a few items that had once belonged to her parents so that her child may grow up knowing of his heritage.

From there she had gone on a search to find something she had only heard rumors of when she had attempted to save Kalina. The Alvar bloodline lived on their her twin's progeny. Rowan followed many a rumor until she was able to track down the last of her kin, a mostly human boy named Kenneth who had been living in La'marri.

Rowan would give birth to her son Kurtis Leonius Alvar in the sanctity of the Clockwork City though she would not openly declare the name of the babe's father, choosing to give the child her own last name. Currently she remains a Dark Mother, working with Alucard to continue seeing to the needs of the Dark Mothers and their little ones.
