Rowana

Alovasuri Sida (Cavalry Rider)

Born in the forests of the village Tripoli in Arcadia, Greece, her mother was a herbalist and her father was a blacksmith. When Rowana was six, her mother was teaching her how to use herbs as medicine, but Rowana was interested in learning how to use weapons instead. Every time her father crafted swords and weapons, she would watch and observe curiously. She asked her father once if he could teach her how to use a sword, but his response was harsh and he denied her request. This did not stop Rowana from touching his swords whenever he wasn't home. She would practice swinging and slashing in the air when her mother was outside.

When it was her tenth birthday, her father bought her a a beautiful black mare as a gift. Rowana named the mare, Ebony, after her black coat. He thought that by teaching her horseback riding, it would decrease her desire of learning how to fight. He was wrong however. Rowana started to have visions about the Goddess Artemis, starting off at symbols such as deer running in forests. They became clearer as she got older. She told her mother about them and her mother was solemn, yet excited at the same time. She spoke to her husband about it, but he was not happy about it at all.

When she became fifteen, her father wanted to arrange a marriage for her. Her mother was worried that it would upset the Goddess Artemis. Rowana overheard the news and she declared that she did not want to marry at all. Her father loved her very much and if that was what she wanted, he did not interfere his daughter when she was following after the Goddess footsteps.

A year later, Rowana received a message from the Goddess Artemis 'to travel Eastward to find her sisters' in a dream. She announced to her parents that she was going to leave home and travel. Before she left, her father finally gave her a sword and gave her a quick lesson how to use a bow. She rode away with Ebony to the East and survived learning how to hunt and fish. Years and years passed until she stumbled upon a settlement between the mouths of a river. Queen Deoris welcomed her in and she became part of Themiscyra.

Rowana is now nineteen. She has green eyes and long brown hair tied back in a ponytail. She stands around 5'4''. Her once pale skin is tanned. Her weapons are the sword and bow. She knows how to fight on horseback a bit.

Her animal totem is the Horse.
