Rowan Forest

WORK IN PROGRESS

Rowan Forest is an original character by Kyran Kandosa for his Silver Moon Chronicles fanon. Rowan is a member of Team MARS

Appearance
Rowan Forest has an average build, albeit with well-toned muscles. Her long legs are shapely, and especially well-developed from her dancing. The rest of her figure is fair, but not especially beautiful. Rowan wears her light brown hair down to her shoulders, and her face is heart-shaped with hazel eyes, a button nose, and prominent cheekbones.

For civilian attire, Rowan wears an red longsleeve shirt, brown pants and knee-high boots. For combat gear, she adds an set of greaves and chuisses for her legs, an utility belt with metal hip guards and an fanny pack, and a short-sleeved cargo jacket made of ballistics cloth, all colored forest green. Her jacket has six pouches in front and one on each sleeve, all of which being expandable. Rowan's jacket also has her symbol, an silhoutte of an evergreen tree, on the back. Her sleepwear consists of green pajama pants and a red tank top.

Weapons:
RequiemBreeze:
 * Weapon: Multi-Action Dust Gauntlets
 * Type: Dust, Ranged, Melee
 * Weapon Derivation: Gauntlets
 * Description: RequiemBreeze is a pair of gauntlets equipped with Dust lines in the hands. Each gauntlet has two modes: Inert, and Combat. Inert mode looks like an simple pair of metal gloves with wrist protection. In Combat mode, the wrists fold out to cover the entire forearm. An six-chambered belt around the wrist feeds Dust lines in the hands, permitting the enhancement of melee strikes and short to mid-range Dust attacks. The gauntlets are reloaded by sliding back the wrist cover, and swapping out the Dust belt. Each belt is loaded with Red, Yellow, Blue, Cyan, and 2 chambers of White Dust. RequiemBreeze is forest green in color, much like the rest of Rowan's armor.

Semblance:
Rowan's Semblance is called Vine Control. With it, she creates small glyphs on her palms, or an larger one at her feet, which can project prehensile vines up to twenty feet from them. These vines can be made to grow thorns, become hedges for defense, entangle targets, and serve as whips and ropes. Rowan's vines can be maintained by anyone with Aura, with Aura deprivation eventually causing them to wither and die, though only she can control them with her glyphs. Generating vines takes more energy than simply manipulating them, which is why Rowan likes to prepare battlefields by spawning vines in advance, sending Aura through them to revive them as needed. Aura drain is moderate to heavy, depending on how her Semblance is used.

Abilities:

 * Dancing: Rowan is an talented dancer, and incorporates this in her fighting style.
 * Martial arts: Rowan's fighting style is based primarily on capoiera, making her difficult for more conventionally trained martial artists to engage when fighting in the open. She favors hand techniques, which is why she built RequiemBreeze.
 * Gardening: Rowan knows a good deal about identifying plants and their medicinal properties, thanks to her mother. She also knows how to grow them.
 * Agility: Thanks to her dancing and Semblance, Rowan is very agile.

Battle Style:
Rowan fights primarily as a mid-range support combatant, using her vines and gauntlets to support her allies and keep the enemy at bay. She frequently uses her vines to entangle opponents so that they can be slowed down and more easily dispatched. Though not trained as a field medic, her gauntlets are useful for washing, cauterizing, and freezing wounds via Dust.

Personality:
Rowan tends to be an cheery, empathetic sort.

Backstory:
Rowan was born to police SWAT officer Ashley Forest and his wife, Fiona.

Trivia:

 * Rowan's name and outfit is based on the Rowan tree, which has red berries and green leaves.
