The Moore family is a long running name of prestige in the town with a long line of matriarchs that run the town's medical clinic and one of the first pioneer families in New Hope. Rowan's late grandmother Edith Moore who retired 10 years ago and passed 5 years ago. While she wasn't the first doctor of the Moore family, she is the most notable in recent history and left a legacy which still looms over the family after her death.
Edith was always pushing for Rowan's mother, Bethany Moore, to take over the family business as she positioned toward retirement. However, Rowan's mom was not able to reach the academic qualifications to do so and became a pharmacist at the clinic instead. Edith feared that handing the family business to her daughter would be seen as nepotism and eventually gave the clinic over. The Moore's still own the clinic, but leadership of it was now in the hands of the founding families.
Rowan's grandmother was ashamed that the Moore family, which always fought to be seen in equal standing as the founding families, had lost their place of prestige. But around this time, a young Rowan had just started to show academic success in schooling. So Edith placed the task of reclaiming the family clinic squarely on her shoulders. And Rowan admired her grandmother so much that she listened and accepted without much thought. Even after the passing of her grandmother Rowan still strives to succeed the legacy of her grandmother, pushed even further by her mother.

Rowan is a prodigy of the Moore family and is burdened by the expectation that's tied to that. She shows an excellent academic record that displays both talent and hard work, she has held a long influence around the school's student counciL, and is one of the best tutors noted for her proficiency and confidence in speaking. A look at her record on paper would reveal a girl well on her way to becoming a matriarch successor to the Moores.
It's much different in person. Rowan considers herself to be far from the image of her grandmother she aspires to and is constantly weighed down by the pressure the family puts on her. She is anxious and full of doubts while trying to present a front of keeping it together. While she is living up to her academic record, her position on the student council is notably passive and her speaking ability is only confident when she is talking about subjects she is passionate about. Rowan fears that she can't live up to a bar of achievement she sees as her grandmother's while not realizing she herself is constantly raising it.
Rowan finds solace in exploring nature. The pressure of her day to day life seems to slip away with fewer people around. Her father seems to not be so bothered with family affairs and Rowan appreciates downtime with him. She even picked up his enthusiasm for hiking and general wilderness exploration. Rowan sometimes likes to bring a book of local flora and fauna with her. She finds joy in putting some of her study to use. Often she will take snippets from more rare plants to add to a collection at home.

Rowan is on the taller side standing at 5'7" with the a thin but healthy frame. She has short, dark brown hair which is well kept but rarely looks tidy. Rowan typically wears a serious expression on her face and only lets loose emotionally around people she really trusts. She always looks slightly under slept and smiling is a rare occurrence. In her opinion, she thinks that makes it more valuable.
Rowan dresses in primarily autumn colors, favoring earthy greens and browns with the occasional navy. Her clothes are rarely worn out and never second hand aside from a few well kept hand me downs from her grandmother. She has a general reserved sense of dress which reflects her personality and will often wear a coat unless the weather is particularly warm. Her coat will always contain a notebook in the inner right pocket and often a book she is reading in the left which is sometimes academic in nature and sometimes not.

- Bethany Moore: Rowan's mother and pharmacist at the Moore's family clinic. She is one of the strongest pushing forces toward Rowan's goal and is usually the one putting the most pressure on the girl.
- Isaac Moore: Rowan's father and a local ranger maintaining the town's wildlife areas for tourist season but is stay at home outside of that. While he took the Moore name, Isaac cares little for the familial pressures put on Rowan and tries to give her some reprieve from it.

You're in class and the Fire Alarm goes off. Everyone begins to panic.
"The school has a fire alarm policy for a reason and we do drills every year. I'm going to follow that and hope others do the same."
You've made plans to go to the festival and are running late but may make it in time to see the fireworks with your friends. On your way, you see a stranger with a flat tire on the side of the road.
"I don't know how to change a tire. Uh, I think I would just pretend I didn't see him. Hopefully he doesn't judge me, I wouldn't be able help him."
You fall asleep in class and begin to dream; you're atop a ruined tower and a massive dragon circles overhead. You reach for...
"Uh, well, that's a big change of questions. I can't say I know much about dragons, or ruined towers either... The dragon is probably guarding it right? I'll reach for the ladder or stairs down and politely exit."
The world is so boring; you wish you had a superpower. What do you wish for?
"I always thought I would make for a good alchemist. I guess the super power would be making any of those theories actually work... ... Invisibility, maybe teleportation, not just myself but others too... On the teleport one."
You are suddenly reminded that tomorrow is the Midterm Exam.
"Well it would be the fourth time today."
