Wildlife handling and knowledge;Tracking

A fairly renowned zoologist with a passion for his work, **Rowan the Squirrel** is the older brother of Conner the Squirrel. He has his own RingTube channel called "Wild Mobius", and has guest-starred on a few nature shows. He also works for G.U.N, and operates within its Wildlife division.

## Physical Description

A reasonably fit squirrel who stands a little over 3 feet tall, Rowan has a short muzzle with a triangular nose, somewhat rounded ears ending in tufts, and a large, bushy tail. Unlike his brother Conner, whose front teeth are always slightly visible, Rowan's front teeth aren't visible unless his mouth is open.

His fur is primarily rust in color, with a buff muzzle, eye markings, chest and stomach; the tips of his ears and tail are also buff in color. Much like his father Acacius, he has short, somewhat messy seal brown hair on his head, and his eyes are Persian green in color.

His outfit varies depending on where he's going to be trekking, but he typically opts to wear practical clothing, usually jeans, hiking boots and a vest over a plain shirt; he carries a backpack that contains much of his field gear with him at all times.

## History

### Childhood

Growing up in the Eurishian region of Avalon, Rowan was the firstborn child of Laurel and Acacius. When he was about ten, his parents gave birth to another child, whom was named Conner. Conner grew up idolizing his older brother Rowan, and the two had a close relationship with each other. At the age of fifteen, however, Rowan spent much of his time in school to pursue a career in biology, specifically zoology.

When Rowan was about seventeen, Mordred Hood and his Egg Army were starting to tighten their grip on Avalon. Fearing for the safety of his family, Acacius decided to move them to Station Square, which, at the time, was relatively free of the Eggman Empire's influence.

## Abilities

Rowan is quite physically fit, and is adept at both climbing and swimming. He's got a good amount of stamina in him, allowing him to run for lengthy periods of time. While Rowan generally doesn't fight, he's fit enough to be a pretty decent combatant, and can throw a good punch (or kick) if he needs to. Being a squirrel, his front teeth are hard and sharp, making for a nasty bite.

### Wildlife Expertise

Rowan bears an extensive knowledge of Mobius' many, many forms of wildlife. Having 13+ years of experience in the field of zoology, he is able to quickly identify nearly any creature he comes across, including any various subspecies they may have. He is knowledgeable in the habitats, temperaments, dietary habits and physical forms of a great deal of creatures, from common species like the Denkitachi to even rare beings like Mobini Dragons.

## Personality

Rowan is somewhat of an opposite to his younger brother; he's hard-working, generous and honest, with a strong love for his work. The many creatures of Mobius are endlessly fascinating to him, and he's held this love for all his life; one of his favorite things is getting to educate others on the fauna of Mobius, and those who talk to him will find him to be animated, enthusiastic and passionate about his field of work.

While he normally tries to remain logical and take a rational approach to things, he frequently allows his emotions to cloud his judgment, and this can easily be used against him, especially if his loved ones are involved.
