Power:
Plant Manipulation`Rowan can create, shape and manipulate plants, including wood, vines, plants, moss, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits and flowers. She can cause plants to grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure and revive withered or dead plants.
She can use her power for defense and support by growing plants from the ground and make them sprout seeds/fruits/berries, or even to possibly use plant chemicals to heal people or objects or manipulate their properties for a wide range of effects.
The ability can also deal a series of offensive techniques on a target. Using the plants as weapons enables Rowan to grasp and strike continuously with vines and roots, project thorns at a distance, and quickly regenerate the withering weapons at the her will. She can make vines grow and climb around a target's neck, causing choking, or even strike with plants. A more subtle technique is to release damaging toxins and pheromones, affecting targets in which conditions should be treated quickly with ailments.
It is possible that with practice, Rowan may also be able to control plants in their altered forms, i.e. concentrated forms, such as cotton clothing/fabric, paper, etc.

{Shy, Hardworking, Nurturing, Idealistic}
Rowan is a shy wallflower that doesn't really like too much interaction. She doesn't really think she's better than anyone, but her quiet exterior can make her appear that way. She usually steers clear of people completely if she can, but is able to put up with people if she has to. However, despite Rowan being extremely withdrawn from most other people, she is also very kind and caring, but she prefers to help in the shadows. Once people get to know her, they find her to be an idealistic person who dreams of a better world for everyone. Rowan is hardworking and never turns away from a challenge; she is normally one of the first people to complete a challenge. Despite being distanced, Rowan is nurturing and a natural born leader. She would never turn her back on those that need her and is able to come up with good solutions and advice for many people.

"My childhood? Hmm... Well, my parents died in a car crash when I was two, but I don't really remember them enough to say that their death was tragic. I was brought up by my grandmother in the country, she taught me everything I know- well, except for the whole 'powers' thing. Heh... Right, sorry...
Anyways... I lived with my grandmother and went to school like a normal person. I was a part of the Gardening Club and I guess I was a bit of a wallflower. My only real friend was my cousin Isaac. We had always been outcasts, but we stuck together. He doesn't have powers like me though. Gosh, calling them powers makes it sound like I'm some sort of superhero, doesn't it? Back to my story... The best way to put my childhood was a bit lonely... In high school, Isaac started getting more friends and I would stay in background. We were still close- almost like brother and sister- but it was like we were drifting apart.
Then, all of this happens and here I am now. My grandmother is happy I was accepted her. I guess I'm happy there's others like me, but at the same time, I still feel different... Sorry, I'm rambling..."
