How did you choose their name?
STORYTIME. So, you know how Rowan was found in a rowan tree around the age five? That was me trying to give a narrative reason for her to have the name "Rowan" when that's not at all an Elezen sounding name. Because originally, I just went with my generic internet/mmo character name: Rotak. Which sounds EVEN LESS like an Elezen name.
I was at a point where I was starting to conceive of my fic and writing and all that. I realized that I needed a more lore aligned name as my internet name was not going to cut it. The problem was that I was very attached to the "Ro" syllable. My WoW main kept the "Ro" as "Ro'tandre" for various musings. But all the French names with "Ro" in it were mostly just derivations of "Rose". Which, is all fine and dandy, but I wanted a more gender neutral name. I don't remember if I looked at French boy's names or not, or if they were all rather meh to me. Eventually I realized French wasn't going to do it.
And I resisted "Rowan" for a long time. "It's not French!" I thought, "It's too generic!". Eventually the realization that there wasn't really going to be a better name got to me, and I cooked up her running from the Black Wolf into a tree as her backstory and didn't really look back. She's been Rowan since I've been writing her fic.
Argentas though? Ironically, the original derivation of the character had that last name (she doesn't now and this is already getting long). I went with the Latin word for silver and stuck "-as" at the end to make it sound like a last name and kinda lucked out that French is a Romance language.
Thanks for the ask!

It looks like drama with Seven and Rowan is kinda popular and I'm just like noooo Seven my baby let me protect you 😭😭😭
200+ asks and I can say with confidence that a third of them are just ways to make Seven suffer/miserable and questions about said misery and tbh I support it lololol
They all go through the ringer, but Seven definitely kind of gets unfair treatment from me (sorry my lil meow meow)

WIP Wednesday Except Its Late
I was tagged by @simonxriley, thank you love!!!
Tagging: @detectivelokis @jinfromyarikawa @marivenah @baldurrs @voidika @direwombat @playstationmademe @ghastlyrider @socially-awkward-skeleton @sstewyhosseini @aceghosts @glowwormsmith @redreart @fadedjacket @minilev @foxyb0xes @vampireninjabunnies-blog @strafethesesinners and whoever else wants to join!
I decided to try and go back to my FC5 fic, which was originally supposed to be just from Wren’s perspective, but I decided (with helpful advice from friends) that changing povs would be more well-rounded and offer so much more. So have some of chapter two from Rowan’s perspective.
I clenched my teeth as I attempted to pull from his grasp, his fingers digging into the hunter green jacket. My dark eyes blazed into his own, mirroring each other in more than just color as I huffed. “Let me go—”
“We need to leave. Now.” He insisted as he shouldered my rifle, his bow resting on the kitchen table in front of us. “Its started—did you pack the go bag like I told you?” A beat of silence passed between us as we continued our stare down, but he caved, shaking his head and glancing away with a frustrated sigh. “Damn it, Ro. I told you—”
“I can damn well take care of myself, Eli.” I replied as I finally pulled my arm free. It was irritating to see what he had done to my door since he had no way to unlock my doors—had no idea as to where I kept my only spare key. “Stop talking nonsense and talk normally—”
“The Reaping has started, Rowan.” Eli took a step closer, and I could see the panic in his eyes. “We need to go the Wolf’s Den. Now.”
It only took me a quick moment to assess the situation, just as the thunderous sounds seemed to draw closer—close enough to make Eli’s eyes dart to the window. My lips pressed together, I turned to grab my pack, but not to leave with him. As if sensing the change, he grabbed for my arm again, this time his grip made of steel. I just glared at him. “I gotta get to the station. Some of the boys are still there on night duty.”
“Don’t. They got the roads blocked and you won’t make it. We need to get to safety—”
I wiped around and stepped closer, forcing him back a step as I responded sternly. “There are people out there, Eli! People that need our help to get to safety.” Another explosion in the distance sounded. “If…if this is bad, then we can’t just leave them—”
His grip would leave bruises as he squeezed and I was taken aback at the desperation I saw written on my brother’s face. “Rowan. We will have to leave them for now. We…we’ll get them in the morning. We’ll come back for them. If they hide and can wait it out, it will be fine.” I let his lie clang through me, let the truth of the situation truly descend upon me. Every bit of my military training was at war inside, desperate to save those around me, but the logical more strategic part…it was telling me something different. Eli’s next words only confirmed it. “We’re no good to anyone dead. Grab your pack, we’re taking your quad for a ride through the woods, hopefully you don’t have any game from your hunting trip earlier.”
Whether his tone held any bitterness, it didn’t matter. I just shouldered the rifle he offered, grabbed my pack, and made a quick grab for the bow that waited to go on the next hunt.

Have the ROs ever reacted to something in a way that surprised even them? What situation was it?
Alex was a bit surprised by her reaction to a certain incident. It led her to essentially ghost the team which is something that is pretty against her character normally.
Jasper is still surprised by his reaction to his fight with the MC. He usually would just agree with them or ignore the issue so the fact that it led to them flat out not speaking anymore shocks him even after all these years.
Rowan is basically the opposite of Jasper and Alex! He was quite shocked at how willing he was to join the team (originally). He had ranted bout being independent on multiple occasions so it embarrassed him that he caved to the idea so easily.
Zoe was pretty surprised by her own weakness when it came to the team splitting up. She thought she would fight more or try her hardest to at least smooth things over but she kinda just…zoned out? Let it happen? It’s hard to explain! But she still doesn’t know what to make of her reaction.
