Personality: Rowan is a pretty quiet person. It's not that he's shy, it's just that he has no need to chase after people. They always come after him. He has a mysterious aura about him that just seems to attract people, especially girls. Rowan is a very charming person, and though he's not exactly a flirt, he can be unintentionally flirty at times. If there's one thing he knows about, it's love. He tends to wear his heart on his sleeve and is quick to be attracted to people. A bit too trusting, he'll do anything for the ones he loves.
As far as Aphrodite kids go, Rowan isn't nearly as vain as his siblings. He sees the beauty in everything, whether it's in the person's appearance or personality, whereas his siblings tend to not look past the surface. Rowan especially loves the outside and always tries to find the natural beauty in things. He likes sketching things down on whatever he can find, almost always keeping a spare sheet of paper on him. He spends a lot of time getting ready in the morning, spending at least an hour each on his hair and clothing. He's very organized, arranging all of his clothes in order of color and all music/literature he owns by the date it was released.
History: At two days old, Rowan was found by a doctor named Joseph Emrys in a dumpster outside of a New York hospital. Joseph Emrys was a recently divorced surgeon recovering from the loss of his young son, and he adopted the baby.
Throughout his life, Rowan was always very different. His father often tried dating, and Rowan found that whenever he wanted the relationship to end, it always did. Throughout school he was very popular. He played sports, he did community service projects, and despite his learning disabilities, he did well in school.
Growing up, he knew that he was adopted. Though being born on Olympus, his father found birth records at the New York hospital claiming that a man named Alexander Carlisle was his biological father. In a large place such as New York, it was hard to locate one man. It took years and several different leads until Rowan located his father. After a long conversation, the boy finally understood the reason behind his Dyslexia and ADHD. He knew why he'd been abandoned as a baby, and why he hadn't even had a mother to look after him.
Once Rowan knew he was a demigod, things simply got worse. He rarely spoke to Arthur after that conversation, but a few weeks after, he got a letter informing him that the man had died under mysterious circumstances. Though Arthur had never really been a father to Rowan, the boy still mourned. He also feared that whatever had killed Arthur would try to kill Joseph.
Due to worry and fright, Rowan's grades began to slip and he realized that the only way he could protect his father was to leave. Perhaps the monsters would follow him. He'd only run for about a a couple of hours when he was picked up by a satyr who happened to be at a school nearby on the lookout for demigods.
Rowan wrote his father a letter explaining what he was and letting him know that everything was alright. A couple of days later, Rowan got a letter from his dad saying that he was always welcome home. The letter was accompanied by a bunch of his clothes, makeup, and other such necessities. Later that night, Rowan was claimed by Aphrodite and moved to cabin 10.
Abilities: Minor ability to manipulate relationships and feelings. Whenever he was a child and didn't like his father's girlfriend, he was always unintentionally break them up. It wasn't until later than he knew about it. He is able to charm mirrors and make them falsely reflect a person's appearance. In battle, he can haze people's minds and make them become infatuated with the person they are fighting, thus rendering them incapable of fighting them, for the most part.
Weaknesses: Rowan isn't very good at hand-to-hand combat. He prefers to stay on the sidelines and help out so he won't mess things up. He has a time-bomb like temper and when he's angry or sad, he is more or less useless and won't help even his closest friends.
Other Information: Rowan has a purple bow-tie given to him by his mother that allows him to change his appearance at will.
