Like most he makes mistakes and tends to own up to them before any have a chance to make fun of the situation. Even if he forgets to catch it from time to time he knows how to laugh at himself and encourage others to do so as well. He is very contemplative but understands that if you take life too seriously then you will miss times of laughter and times of beauty. Rowan likes to stop and smell the roses hell, even relax and plant a few for others to smell. There’s enough darkness in the world so he does his best to try and be a light in that darkness.[/color][/center] [center][h3][color=dodgerblue]Habits:[/color][/h3][/center] [center][color=dodgerblue]Rowan can be seen rubbing his pendant or fiddling with his bracelets more often than not and sometimes seen even whispering to something that most believe really isn’t there.[/color][/center] [h3][center][color=forestgreen]Background:[/color][/center][/h3] [center][color=forestgreen]Rowan grew up in a very chill household both of his parents were Pagan and while they never forced their way of life on him it was something that Rowan couldn’t help but glom onto. With his father being closer to Druidic and his mother Shamanic Rowan learned a thing or two from them. Unlike his parents Rowan never chose a particular practice he instead took a bit from everything he has learned from his parents. Rowan spent a large portion of his life in Dublin due to his mother being Irish. On more than a few occasions though His family took trips to the Caribbean to visit his fathers family. It was easy to see why and how Rowan got to be so chill it was a temperament he learned from his grandparents and his parents and it’s one that Rowan tries his best to put off. Rowan loved and treasured both of his parents and everything they taught him. And on his 21st birthday he went to his parents and after a looong discussion he got them to allow him to move to america. It was a place that had interested him for sometime and he wanted to travel. It didn’t take much convincing and after a few days of prep Rowan was off. He bounced around from city to city and after a few years he found himself settled down in redwood apartments and he has been here about a month and a half.[/color][/center] [h3][center][color=Dodgerblue]Extra:[/color][/center][/h3] [center][i][b][color=forestgreen]A Bear[/color][/b][/i][/center] [center][hider=totem][img]https://i.imgur.com/rCbZLKx.jpg?1[/img][/hider][/center] [Center][hider=Bear mediceine][color=forestgreen]Bears symbolize introspection and intuition blended with instinct.

Bears are considered the Embodiment of Spiritual Power and Physical Strength. Rarely seen, bears seemingly live as spirits, without a body – visible to the eye only as foot prints in the sand – traces of passing left behind by great mythical beings from the Land of Spirits. Bears, constant in their conviction have walked the same paths generation after generation, wearing deep furrows into solid stone. Bears were thought to die each fall, to be reborn each spring, verifying in life, their Spiritual Power over death. Proof, that Bears were given the Power of Resurrection through Rebirth.[/color][/hider][/center] [center][i][b][color=Dodgerblue]A Wolf[/color][/b][/i][/center] [center][hider=totem][img]https://i.imgur.com/K4zXSXl.jpg?1[/img][/hider][/center] [center][hider=wolf medicine][color=Dodgerblue]Positive meanings emphasize a deep connection with your intuition and instincts.
