★ VISUALS. ~5'2, slender, hazel eyes and long red hair that she usually keeps in its wild curls, sometimes wearing it straighter and more waved. Rowena wears long dresses or skirts with a blouse, occasionally wide-legged pants, and always wears high heels. ★ VOICE.Scottish-born, Rowena's accent is strong and proud despite her years and travel. ★ SMELL. She will smell of magic and whatever ingredients that she has been using, even with a perfume lightly underneath that. The smell of Rowena's magic differs depending on the type of spell she's using, the ingredients involved and whether the magic is more innate or spell-based. Her innate magic would bring a linger smell of her shampoo (rose) or perfume (dark berries and jasmine). ★ DEMEANOUR. Ballsy, manipulative, very bold. She can either be manipulative in a very charming and believably helpful way or oversell it (obviously and on purpose) depending on her intentions. ★ OTHER. Rowena's eyes glow purple whenever she uses her magic. She also has a large scar on her right thigh, and two smaller scars by her left shoulder and her left hip.

★ SKILLS
★ 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.
★ LINGUIST. Rowena has learned multiple languages throughout her long life. Whilst many of her spells are cast in Latin, Rowena has shown that she is knowledgable in reading and casting spells in other (and ancient) languages, being able to translate the components needed for them, and in some cases stating that she is the only witch alive capable of translating such ancient magic (and the language). Other languages she's seen knowing: Gaelic, Gaeilge, Ogham, Polish, Sumerian, Enochian (sigils), Romanian.
