🦋 IC Information

Character Name: Rowena MacLeod
Age: 300+
Canon: Supernatural
Canon Point: The Rupture (season 15, episode 3)
Character History: link
Canon Abilities:

★ WITCH. As a witch, Rowena's immortal, immune to ageing and disease but able to be killed by other methods. Rowena has been described by others as a very powerful and dangerous witch, given the liberties she takes in using her magic and her history of using it to hurt other people for her own gains. After practising her craft for centuries, she's incredibly knowledgeable about many forms of magic, skilled in spellwork (and creating spells), using hex bags and Enochian sigils or Druidic runes. Rowena is capable of using her magic to heal herself and others, transform people and objects into other things, astral project, move people and objects telekinetically, conjure illusions, curse others (and remove curses) and has an awareness of other magical (or supernatural) beings, being able to sense them. While Rowena knows many spells, she still relies on grimoires to cast spells that she has never used before along with ingredients.

After unlocking the seal on her magic, her eyes glow purple when she uses magic and her spells take a purple hue to them. She is additionally now able to teleport, see Reapers and in general her spells have become more powerful.

Whilst Rowena is incredibly powerful there are many limitations to her. She can be wounded and killed by injury (and will remain dead if her self-resurrection spell is inactive), can be overpowered by stronger beings, is weakened by iron (limiting her power), can be exhausted by overuse of her magic, and if she cannot verbally speak she cannot cast most of her spells. Rowena is also not a fighter outside of her magic nor physically strong and is easily overpowered.

★ NOTE. I have a hefty permissions post regarding Rowena's magic and won't use it against people without discussion -- Rowena might like to manipulate and control people but she doesn't do it to everyone she meets and I won't cross ooc boundaries. She has also been on a redemption path where she is less inclined to control/manipulate others. I am also very happy to play by the limits of whatever needs to be set power/distance-wise. She'll be very mad about her magic being limited (again) but it'll give her some motivations to try and unleash herself again (even though she can't).

Rowena usually keeps a self-resurrection seal active on her person in case she dies. She's currently removed this but may potentially try and put one back. I'm happy to play by game death rules (especially consequences) even with this and make her come back slowly/normally by game standards otherwise (if she dies). Rowena will also not be able to open portals to other universes, reality warp or summon/banish people into and out of the city. As her spells tend to require ingredients she will have to spend time gathering these.

★ LINGUIST. Rowena uses Latin for many of her spells, though is also capable of reading and casting spells in other (and ancient) languages, being able to translate the components of them.

Inventory:

-- a pink, bloodied dress and heels
-- hair pins
-- an iron chain

🦋 Personality

1. Has your character always believed in magic? Do they have something influencing their perspective on the supernatural/metaphysical/spiritual from their past? How do they feel about magic?

Rowena was born a witch, though whilst she never cast any spells or used any power until she actively chose to do so she's always had that natural capacity within her. In some ways though she has always used magic, using natural elements of the world, learning from youth the knowledge of how to use the plants around her, something that if she'd followed that path more would have led to her being known as a Cunning Woman. That knowledge served her well when she tapped into her magic, the ingredients that she needed for her spells, how to create hex bags and strengthening herself with natural elements of magic. In terms of magic, Rowena states that she serves nature: it's where her magic comes from and she reveres the world around her and all of its natural elements.

Rowena's opinion of the supernatural was formed by her experiences, and generally, it's a stay away opinion. Many of the supernatural beings in the world are monsters, killers and things that end up hunted, and whilst witches also often fall into that same category (of being hunted) it doesn't form any bonds with other creatures: monsters would still hurt a witch. Rowena has learned through her years, through conversation and reading the lore, much about the monsters she never wished to tangle with. Especially the fae, even if not all of the tales she learned in her youth were accurate.

2. If your character could ask for one wish, and it's going to be magically granted without any consequence, what will it be and why?

The return of her son, Fergus. Rowena's relationship with her son has always been tense and tragic: his father abandoned her as she gave birth, she could never allow herself to love him because of how that had made her feel and eventually she abandoned him. Though their paths crossed through unusual circumstances again centuries later, neither could trust the other even if (very slowly) they did manage to form a connection and a growing understanding of the other. When her son died it ended up breaking Rowena, surprisingly for her, because she'd loved him all along and had been unable to admit it: and now never could. Rowena was filled with regret over the choices that she'd made, regretted being unable to give her son a better life and regretted being unable to make amends with him or have more time with him. Whilst tangling with Death told Rowena that he was gone she would be delighted (and then annoyed) if she could have him back: her grief is still strong, as is her wish to see him again.

3. If there's one person your character would follow to another realm, who would it be and why? If there's no one, state that and explain why.

Sam Winchester. Despite being a hunter, Sam became the closest friend to Rowena that she'd ever known. Even when she was trying to kill him and his brother he never tried to hurt her, and though he correctly distrusted her he also showed her a kindness that was unexpected, listening to her, valuing her wisdom and skills and asking for her help. This man who should want her dead was doing more for Rowena than anyone in her life had ever done and it's no wonder that she ended up fond of him, trusting him with her pain and vulnerability and eventually being his mentor in his journey into witchcraft. Rowena and Sam's paths tangled so often that their destinies eventually became intertwined. With Sam becoming the family to Rowena that she'd never known, her closest friend and the person that helped her become a better version of herself, she would do so much for him: to help him, to save him, etc. She's already died for him, she'd easily go to another realm for him.

4. What is your character's most outstanding personality trait, and why?

Rowena is cunning, someone that's had to build herself up to survive the centuries. She learned at a very early age that she was alone, finding that no one cared about her and needing to find her own strength and resourcefulness in order to survive. Rowena's intelligence, her wits in how to manipulate others and how to use the world around her helped with that. Her cunning nature, and a willingness to be bold (and even do whatever she had to, even if it was a little morally dark grey) kept her strong, kept her alive, and helped her find very creative solutions to many of the problems that have come her way. Whilst Rowena has had others in her life there has been no one there as a permanent or even trusted figure, relationships and acquaintances are fleeting leaving her with just herself. But she's always a step ahead, always thinking of what to do next, and always working to pull herself out on top.

🦋 Fae Court

List your top three choices for your characters adoptive court. The mods will choose the one out of those three options that seems the most fitting based on your app.

• Spring
• Autumn
• Dark

Ability: 3) Yes, but they either have no ability of their own, or they refuse to trade theirs away; they will buy their court's ability on credit.
However, Rowena wouldn't trade away something immediately as she's going to be incredibly wary and mistrustful (and likes her power tbh). But I'd love to find an rp reason, either accidentally or led by choice where she would trade something for her court power.
