Character Basics
Name: Rowan McKinley
Nickname: Annie, Mac
Age: 28
Appearance
Looks: Medium height and weight, with strikingly red hair that she allows to grow out or crops short depending on the season, Rowan tends to either blend into the background or stand out like a sore thumb, with very little middle ground. Her dress sense is equally unusual, varying from tshirts and denim to vintage florals at the drop of a hat. She is almost never seen without a beaded necklace or bracelet or other necklace of some kind, having a huge collection of them for every occasion.
Scars, tattoos, other marks: none
Portrayed by: (may include photo here)
Alyson Hannigan
Personality and Stats
Basic Personality: Rowan is the quintessential comic book geek girl, minus the glasses and pigtails. With a secret passion for anything animated, she seems immature at times, occasionally veering into the downright bizarre. However, despite the childish habits, her geekiness extends into the academic realm, manifesting itself in an almost manic obsession with astronomy and science. She is rarely seen without a comic book or textbook in hand, usually with her nose buried in it, making her the perfect choice as librarian. When not at work or at home watching documentaries and anime, she is almost always to be found at Noah’s Cafe, huddled away in her own little corner, complete with her ritual orange-cinnamon hot chocolate in a mug decorated with the periodic table, reading her books and comics or working on her newest manuscript, of which she has dozens, though none have ever been published.
Species: Human
Abilities: writing, alphabetization
Occupation: Librarian at Forks High
Car: navy blue Smart car
History:
Birthplace: Lyman, Wyoming
Family: Meredith and Andrew McKinley
Friends: Sherri-Lynn Thompson, Noah Carter
History: Born in Lyman, Wyoming, Rowan McKinley was the classic nerd from a very early age. Building her first solar oven at 6, and devising her own homemade telescope at 9, she has always had an interest in science, an obsession that pleased her parents to no end, her mother being a biology teacher in a junior high school, her father one of the main scientists at Mountain Skies Observatory. Despite their high-ranking jobs, her parents brought in little money, and Rowan had to earn money as an editor for a small local science magazine as well as working in the library stacking shelves.
Eventually growing bored of living in the same old town, Rowan has now moved to Washington in search of a change of scenery, ending up in the small town of Forks, due to the high price of property elsewhere. Finding the job at Forks High has been a dream come true, giving her the chance to sneak a peek at the latest science journals when the library is empty, socialising when it’s busy and enjoying the regular hours, meaning she can head over to the nearest comic book store as soon as she finishes work to pick up the latest issue of the X-Men or to the supermarket for her monthly editions of National Geographic or Popular Science.
