Character Information
Known History
Rowan arrived in the Twin Cities mid-August; since her initial encounter with the Camarilla, she has been under the Accounting and/or protection of Kindred (about a dozen, by her own count) across two domains, transferred from one to another by convenience, misfortune, or necessity. Her Accounting was initiated by Primogen Thomas Charles Montgomery of Clan Ventrue, and is currently held by his Childe Rachel Eiken, Harpy of the Twin Cities.
She claims to have been born in England and trained in modern history, and it tends to show when she gets nervous or distracted- she has been known to do such things as mumble poetry, expound on Latin root-words, and discuss British political practices to/with conversants and unsuspecting bystanders. Recently, though, she has taken to trailing off in her speech and not speaking at all- something that has come to annoy several court members who take this as a sign of extreme shyness- not a good trait for a proper Kindred, in the eyes of many.
Rowan recently attended the Midwinter gather in Milwaukee, but seemed to have social difficulties throughout the gather, including several exchanges of her protection (or maybe she was just switching company) between at least four Kindred.
