RANDOM AND OCS

The Mutt (Lets be honest, I'm a Bitch)

Bio
Rowen cannot recall her "parents" as they left and never came back for her and her older sister, at age five, her sister, Carmen, being nine years older, at thirteen. She moved in with her grandparents, whom lived in a small town of Underridge, Ontario. Her grandparents were good people, and the parents she never had, she now refers to her grandpa as pops. Her childhood after was great, her grandparents owned a barn, several horses, cats, dogs, chickens, and a goat. So she learned how to love and care for animals at a young age, and prefers their company to people most of the time. She loves horses and dogs the most, and learned to ride at five. She was gifted a rescue years later after the death of one of the older horses. He was a handsome gelding bay, and she named him Shere Khan, what can I say, the girl loves her Disney. Her sister moved out at 19 on a scholarship to go to university, she visits often and calls every chance she gets. Her life was fair for the most part, until she turned fourteen and her grandparents and her were visiting with a friend at their ranch, she had brought Shere Khan with them, to show him off to her friends and check out their training facilities and programs. Their was a party that night, a rather wild one, one that the owners nineteen year old hosted, it lasted a couple hours then died down, people leaving whenever it suited them. She fell asleep after that, before waking up by the screams of animals, and people. She ran out of her bed and left the house, only to witness the barn engulfed in flames. The screams of horses filled the night, shrieking, heart wrenching sounds as the sight of the barn burning filled her with dread. When she heard banging on the barn door, shrieking of animals and... people? This spring her to action, and she found herself throwing herself against the burning barn door, , it moved enough to let those inside pull it open, and people along with horses ran out.

On fire.

They screamed and screamed as they ran, the smell of burning and melting flesh overwhelmed her senses. She was knocked over by a frantic horse as its flank burned, screaming and shrieking as it went. It was her Shere Khan. She was frozen as she watched the fire burn a horse until it collapsed, she feared that for Shere Kahn,she wanted to help him, but he ran and ran and she couldn't move. Overwhelmed. Finally water sprayed down upon the burning lives, Shere Khan was established and fell to the ground, and she ran to his side, listening to his labored breaths. She found herself slowly overcome by pain, and passed out.

She woke up in a hospital several days later with burns, the worse being concentrated on her right arm, and leg. She lived and would heal in time, most of the burns healed without issue, but for one on her forearm, and some smaller ones on her shoulder and hip. It seems the fire was started from some leftover drunk kids who went to the barn for some "horseing around"

Thankfully, Shere Khan survived, but with severe burns on his flanks. His recovery was harder than Rowan, and she helped him heal as soon as she was able. His scars can still be seen today in the form of grayish brown discoloration on his rear. But they both share a severe fear of fire.

She stumbled upon the Ad to willow bend by chance, and upon the encouragement of her grandparents, she decided to go, and planned on finding a place for Shere Khan, so she can bring him over, as her grandparents have been slowly giving away their animals to trusted friends and family, as their age limits them to so many animals,and barn animals are the hardest for them.

It was a surprise for her, to say the least, when the existence Vampires and Werewolves were realized in Willowbend, and she decided "Hey, I live wolves, I would side with hunky werewolf over sexy vampire ANY day. So woof woof bitches."

Personality
Rowan is a rather laid back individual, she really doesn't give two shits about what others say or think, because their probably stupid. Shes rather reserved in taking action, not when lives depend on it, especially those she cares about. But if an option to fight or flee would arise in a bad situation, she would choose flee. Always be reserved in your impulses, or it can lead to an early grave, is her thought process, given the choice of course. She is rather blunt and witty, a deadly combination, around most people, but will reframe from it in the presence of those whom she respects, or actually fears, so rarely. She is a rather caring individual, that is obviously if one bothers to look. She will listen to your troubles and give unfiltered advice, particularly showing that what your going through isn't really the worst, by pointing out all the terrible things going on in the world. Though she will continue to try and help. She tends to take others whom she thinks needs it under her wing, and try to keep then out of trouple and help them, she is very reliable and loyal in that way. Her kindness always reaches to animals, and younger people, especially those with triple pasts, like her. Though she can't really stand those self pitying people, whom always think they have it the worst or those whom think they are the center of the universe, those are the ones who annoy her. She is good at self control, anger was an issue when she was younger, but she learned how to deal with it and accept it, now it rarely plauges her. Annoyance is the leftover of that rage, though she tends to get over it, most of the time. Shes mostly an optimist despite her seemingly lazy and uninterested nature.

Pyrophobia, the fear of fire, is something she suffers with, and will probably continue with for the rest of her life. Caused by the accident at the barn, she cannot stand open fire. Candles and matches dont bother her as much as it makes her very wary. It's when fire gets large then that, like bonfires and explosions,sometimes small campfires will make her uncomfortable as the smell of burnt flesh and screams fill her senses and make her need to leave, or panic, losing composure. On worse occasions, fear grips her and she freezes,but this usually happens when witnessing a violent fire, and hasn't happened in a long time.

The most precious thing she owns, if you can truly own an animal, would be Shere Khan, whom she loves with all her soul, he I'd on his way to Willowbend, as he gets too rowdy without her near,and the sma could be said of her.
