=== Outfits ===
==== Usual ====
Rowan's standard outfit is entirely custom-tailored, consisting of black dress shoes (real leather, of course), black slacks (always pressed), a long-sleeve white shirt with black tie (with silver tie clip), and a silky black vest bearing his family's crest on the left breast. His cufflinks are polished steel, and the buttons are unadorned.
In cold or outdoor environments, he will don a heavy black overcoat that sweeps past his knees with polished steel clasps.
== Characteristics ==
=== Background ===
Rowan was born to a fairly well-off family-run company (Silva Fabrications Co) that has made parts for other weapon manufacturers for many years. 
From an early age, Rowan showed remarkable musical talent. He is fairly skilled with the piano, and can sing quite well, but his true skill lies with the violin. He started playing it at the age of seven, and was participating in concerts and private shows by the time he was eleven. 
Still a bit jealous of his contemporaries' attention, Rowan began combat training in an attempt to garner their favour, and though it seemed to have no effect, he persisted in it to become an excellent swordsman. Eventually, he had the idea to combine the two things he excelled most at when his semblance manifested, and designed and commissioned his weapon using SAI. 
He began attending the Academy when his parents realized just how skilled of a marksman he was with his unusual weapon of choice. 
=== Personality ===
Though he seems like a pompous ass at first, Rowan is actually a kind and caring person - he just cares more about appearance and reputation than showing his true feelings. He can be overly bold at times, which gets him into trouble, but he usually has the skill he needs to get out of it on his own. Rowan also has an unfortunate habit of thinking everyone knows who he is and respects him; this is a result of his upbringing and his repute and skill as a musician more than anything else, but his arrogance can put people off quite quickly.
Contrary to sense, he keeps his hair in a ponytail until he gets in a fight or starts playing music - he claims it gives him a headache if he keeps it up while doing either of these things. He sometimes uses his hair to distract opponents in battle, though he typically reserves the trick for a coup-de-gras, as he cares for it too much to risk it.
He is quite vain, but ultimately enjoys helping people. Despite his tendency toward womanizing, he would never act aggressively toward a potential prospect under his own will, believing in a strict code of chivalry. He quite strongly resents any implications that his parents' company works under any others - rather, he insists that they are an entirely independent organization despite the massive amounts of funding they receive from other groups.
Rowan is very feminine when caught by surprise, often shrieking in a 'girly' manner, and fawns over beautiful or cute things. He is primarily a Graceful Academic, using wits, money, and slights-of-words rather than his prowess with combat to get his way wherever possible. When he fails to get what he wants, he typically turns quite shy and submissive, and is prone to stumbling on words in one-on-one situations.
