[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_m]Turner[/name_m] (17) is Astrid’s eldest child. [name_u]Ever[/name_u] since [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] told her what her grandfather did a few months ago, [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] has had conflicting feelings. She feels bad for her grandfather and the things he’s now dealing with, but [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] also feels angry with him. She knows it would be awful if her mom died because of someone’s negligence. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] has always felt for other people, so the thought of a little girl losing her mother was painful. She promised her mom that she wouldn’t say anything to her younger siblings. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] wouldn’t want to say anything anyway if it spares them from feeling how she does.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] attends the same school as [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] but is in her senior year. She knows her in passing, and they’ve chatted before. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] has always been fascinated by the medical profession. Helping people has always been something she loves to do. She doesn’t plan on becoming a doctor or a nurse, though. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is going to become a sonographer. Many people she talks to about it aren’t aware that sonographers are the medical professionals who take ultrasounds. They also assume that she’ll just be doing ultrasounds for pregnancies when it covers a lot more. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] doesn’t mind explaining and enjoys talking with people about it. Her boyfriend of a year also plans to get a job in the medical field. The two of them talk about their dream jobs often, to one another and their friends.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] has a big group of friends which includes her boyfriend. There are six of them, not counting her and her boyfriend. Most of them have been friends since kindergarten, although two joined the group later on. Because of differing personalities, there have been some rocky periods sometimes, but they’ve all stayed close. One of these rocky periods was at the beginning of high school when [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and another friend were running for class president. They admit they were immature in how they handled it, as both of them said things they regretted. He ended up winning, and things were strained between the two of them for a while. They’re very close now but still have a fierce academic rivalry.
Despite the larger age gaps between her and her siblings, [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is close to both of them. She tries to make time to do things with them. She appreciates that even though they’re busy, her parents have never made her feel like she has to do everything for her siblings. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is very willing to help out and frequently does, but not being parentified is nice, especially since one of her friends, the eldest of many kids, has a lot of expectations placed on her.
