History

For most of her childhood she traveled with her mother Carina, searching for new cores and woods for her father's wand making shop. It probably wasn't the most ideal childhood, but Rowena loved it. She loved meeting new people and learning about new cultures as her mother talk her more and more about the art of wand making. They traveled all around the world until her mother picked up on some Muggle disease that ate through her immune system and killed her within a few days. Devastated, Rowena moved in with her father where he taught her his craft, but she never stopped blaming Muggles for her mother's death. Even to this day she blames their stupidity for not finding ways around their diseases.

She continued on with a normal childhood of going to Hogwarts where she was sorted into Ravenclaw. Which had been no surprise to her father as she took after both her parents. After she left Hogwarts she helped her father with the shop on a more hands-on capacity, and traveled with him during the summer as she used to do with her mother. Searching for the perfect ingredients for wands. While they convinced Headmistress Walker to watch over their shop, she took her father to Egypt, where her mother had passed. The next day her father passed away in his sleep. Rowena came back to take over the shop, wondering where her family went wrong and how she ended up so alone.
