Personality

MBTI: INTP (The Logician)

Alignment: Neutral Good
Basic Traits: Passionate, relaxed/laid-back, cautious, consistent/persistent, private, conflict-avoidant

Rowan prefers a more relaxed and laid-back style of life, preferring to remain well within her comfort zone. This causes issues with her experimenting with new things, but also leads her to more stability as she doesn't have to fear failure or embarrassment by stepping out of line. She's quite willing to wait for good opportunities to come her way, and tends to be a bit of an idealist for the best times to come.

With that laid-back attitude comes her much more cautious side. She is very conflict-avoidant, and would much rather avoid a stressful issue if it means she can temporarily avoid worry. That isn't to say she's not good at communication or that she's a doormat -- she is very eloquent and in-tune with her thoughts, and knows how to express herself. Rowan just prefers not stepping on any toes in the process.

Privacy and close bonds are very important to her. She prefers sharing her deepest self with only a close few friends and family, with the rest only scratching the surface of her iceburg. This lends itself well to her cautious side, as she can avoid getting hurt by keeping her more true self hidden.

Above all else, she is very passionate about those people and things she cares about. Her devotion to her close friends and hobbies has endeared her to many, and has landed her with more stability than she's had in the past. While she doesn't always have the highest amount of focus in her day-to-day, having set goals and things to strive for set this seal apart from the rest in terms of her determination.
