Personality:

★ BOLD. A lot of her boldness stems from how she speaks, seeming to lack a filter and saying what's on her mind, though it's usually a calculated attempt to throw someone off their footing by revealing their weaknesses or making another snide comment. She's bold in her plans, trying to gain power by sucking up to other powerful beings, trying to present herself as an asset and doing so brazenly. She's bold because despite how afraid Rowena may feel she doesn't let fear stop her. Rowena's a survivor which makes her constantly fight for her life even when a situation could make you want to run and hide. Rowena makes boldness her defining trait, choosing not to shy away from something even if the consequences are something to fear, choosing to always remain true to herself and choosing to fight to survive.

★ AMBITIOUS. Rowena is incredibly ambitious, wanting to gain as much power for herself and seemingly not caring about who she hurts along the way. Rowena's true motivations for her ambitions stem from her desire to survive and protect herself: the majority of witches that Rowena has met in her life have shunned her or been unkind, she was run out of Scotland for being a witch and has spent most of her life looking over her shoulder. So Rowena now will do whatever it takes to protect herself, adding to her dangerous collection of magic with as much power as she can gather to ensure she never feels weak again. Rowena's ambitions and striving for power have led her to make terrible choices in her life, allying herself with people who would betray her (if she didn't betray them first) in the hope of gaining power.

★ SELFISH. Rowena's act is all about herself and what she can do for herself, seeming to not care about anyone else. After abandoning her son (after being chased out of town) she never returned for him, claiming that she couldn't be faulted for being a career woman. Truthfully, Rowena knows she was a terrible mother and should have done better, but it also took her a long time to admit her faults. Hating her son was much easier for her than loving him because love made her feel weak -- his father left her half-dead after giving birth which was a pivotal moment for Rowena, teaching her to only think about herself because no one else would, something that other witches along her years only reinforced when they shunned her. Rowena will always look out for herself first because she doesn't believe anyone else will and she will save herself rather than try to help others, only offering her help if she believes that she can get something out of it in return (her freedom, power, or something powerful).

★ IMPULSIVE. Whilst Rowena is powerful and wishes to be prepared for anything, she gets too drawn in by her wants. Rowena's desire for power means she quickly allies herself with powerful people, even when they are known to be terrible people (such as Lucifer). Rowena overlooks this, too blinded by the idea that she could become more powerful if she proves herself useful, and ends up quite short-sighted, ignoring any red flags in the hope that she gets what she wants. It leads her to very often double-cross the people she's working with, bouncing from one person to the next when her first idea fails. She doesn't have a plan outside of becoming powerful, so it leads her to quickly take opportunities when they pop up instead of thinking about how it might help (or hurt) her.

Initial Game Plan: Exploring and trying to investigate this place, being conflicted about her death given canon, and trying to find a little corner of safety for herself. Considering that her canon point was when she was supposed to die, she'll also be spending some time recovering (I'd love to play with her wound being healed, but her still needing to recover, as it'll force her to rely on other people and take her intro slower).
RP Interests: Everything! Rowena is slow to trust, so she can garner positive cr as well as negative cr, but she'd especially be interested in talking to others with magic or supernatural experiences, and potentially even asking about others' experiences with death and resurrection.
Preferred Job: There's a whole slowburn plan -- she'll likely start not doing anything as she settles, and then, as she's going to be making potions/wards/charms etc for herself, might do a few for other people. She's never been a witch to sell her craft before, but desperate times! So starting as an entrepreneur and potentially moving into being an artisan when she realises she can get a home and workshop from it.
NSFW-friendly?: absolutely!
