Rowan Waters

Backstory
Rowan had been shuffled through the foster system for many of her younger years until she was around ten years old, settling into Westbrook with weird hippie family and new, younger brother. This would be the fourth little brother she was forced to pretend ‘house’ with, but River was...interesting. As they grew up together, they didn’t necessarily bond - he liked to garden and write poetry in the privacy of their home and she found herself getting into trouble, and not the kind that included TP-ing peoples houses and getting too drunk at parties. Ro, feeling alone in the world and with nothing else better to do (in her mind), she began dealing drugs her freshman year. It was easy to get supplies; her adoptive parents weren’t all too bright and were hippies, for heaven’s sake. Starting with weed, she quickly found other forms of narcotics easier to transport and made her more money.

Shifting to more things like prescription pills her sophomore year, she eventually got into trouble when dealing to an undercover cop in the city. Arrested, Ro was sent to juvie for a year. With her rather chill and calm attitude, she didn’t get bothered too much; Rowan managed to use her wits to make deals with the other girls there to keep from getting jumped in the bathrooms or generally just bothered. She knew her normal ‘back off, i won’t fight you but i will ruin the rest of your life’ attitude would not work there.

When she was let out, Rowan came to the conclusion that dealing to adults was too risky. Clearly, she hadn’t learned her lesson with breaking the law and was set on continuing in the confines of Westbrook High School.
