Windfell

What was your childhood like?

As normal as one can expect. I didn't always get along with my parents, especially my dad, but we parted on good terms when they moved back to Chicago.

And what about the psych stays?

I was a bit of a troubled child. I didn't see you interrogating Jericho about their stays.

What have you been up to lately?

I'm the general manager at Bean so I do my best to keep the raging idiots in check and try not to kill Jericho.

Why general manager?

I don't have anything better to do. The owners pay me well and I've been working there since I got out of high school. Then they promoted me for my 25th birthday. What was I going to do? Say no?

Do you have any secrets?

No.

I don't think I believe that.

I don't care what you believe.

Let's play a game. Tell us two truths and a lie.

I don't like cupcakes. I'm banned from the Starlight Diner. And I'm the designated bug killer.

The cupcake one is so random.

I'm not outright banned from Starlight, but the general manager Dani usually kicks me out if she sees me.

What's your favorite song right now?

I don't have one.

What do you want to do with your life?

What was your childhood like?

I don't really talk about it for a reason. My parents were great but not super observant I guess? A lot happened without them noticing and part of that is sorta my fault for not saying anything. Then something happened and my parents realized how bad my sister actually was and tried to get her the help she needed.

I didn't see her for ten years after that, actually, and then they released her. I shouldn't have met with her, I mean, Harley said it was a monumentally stupid fucking idea, her exact words, but I did, and I paid for it with a ten day coma and three months of inpatient therapy.

I'm doing better now.

Where's your sister now?

In prison somewhere and I don't want to know were. She was already sentenced and gone by the time I got out of the hospital.

What do you do in your free time?

I spend a lot of time with Harley and Mac. Harley and I have been friends since we were little kids and it feels like I've been friends with Mac since forever which is crazy because he's only worked at Bean for two years now.

What happened that night in the woods?

My sister tried to kill me. She almost did.

And your biggest secret?

This is embarrassing, but I might have a bit of a crush on Wyn. Now you're asking Why is that such a big deal, Rowan? And the answer to that, my friends, is because Wyn has the same horrifically dangerous vibes as my sister.

Two truths and a lie.

I regularly have discussions with my cat Aria. I've been on a plane one singular time and absolutely hated it. And I'm super good at hair and makeup.

Damn, those are good. I don't know.

I've never flown before, but I'm pretty sure I would hate it.

Where do you see yourself in the future?

What's your favorite song of all time?

Right now, Hotel by Derek Pope, but it changes constantly.

Tell us about your childhood.

I don't know, it was mostly normal. It was just me, my mom, and my older brother Isaac. Technically he's my half-brother, but his dad died when he was five and my dad left before I was born, so my mom raised us. Issac left for college when I was six since he's almost twelve years older, so it was just me and my mom for a while.

When I was nine my mom and I got in this huge car accident that crushed my side of the car. I don't remember any of it, but my whole right leg was busted, the right side of my pelvis was crushed, and I broke my back which paralyzed me. Isaac was still in nursing school so my mom took care of me until she died when I was twelve and I ended up with my brother.

Isaac worked as a travel nurse for a while, and he got placed at Ridgeview Hospital for like two weeks. Afterwards they offered him a full-time position, and he agreed so we moved to Windfell. We've been here ever since.

What have you been up to lately?

Working, I guess, and a lot of PT. Rowan, Harley and I hang out a lot in our free time. We try to do movie night every week, but it doesn't always happen, lol.

What's your problem with Jericho?

They're an obnoxious, self-centered, ableist asshole and completely unpredictable. There's literally nothing to like about them. I think the only reason the rest of Bean puts up with them is because they're all as crazy as Jericho.

Give me two truths and a lie.

I had a service dog when I was younger. I have three cats. And I only started being able to walk again when I was sixteen.

They're all pretty reasonable. I'm going to guess you don't have three cats.

I would like to have three cats but technically I only have one, my little baby Saucer. I like to think I have joint custody of Rowan's cat Aria, though.

Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?

Nope. When is your birthday and how old are you?

June 7th. 22.

Where you born in Windfell?

Yes.

Tell me about your childhood.

My parents sucked and never should have had kids. My little sister Jewel was born when I was six and she's the only reason I stayed.

And your sister?

Gone and when I find out who did it, they'll beg for death.

What do you do to occupy your time?

People watch or stay at home.

Why don't you tell your friend? Don't you trust them?

No, I don't. I know what they are.

Two truths and a lie.

I've been smoking since I was sixteen. I have an older brother. And Jewel and I have never fought.

I don't know, you haven't mentioned a brother.

Yeah, I'm the oldest.

Do you have a favorite song?

No. I listen to the Smiths the most though.

Where do you see yourself in the future?

What was your childhood like?

I guess it could have been worse. My parents divorced when I was seven because my dad was cheating on my mom and he disappeared as soon as it was finalized. My mom wasn't great before dad left, but after she started blaming me and said this wouldn't have happened if I wasn't born so I started avoiding her. I guess I just kind of raised myself after that, then she died of an overdose when I was eighteen and I was alone.

The house was mine by default but I started to avoid it, too. I started spending most of my time at Salem's house. We started dating like two months before my mom died and I guess I just wanted to forget about her. Then I started working at Bean and I really haven't set foot in that house since.

What are you up to these days?

If I'm not at work, I'm with Salem.

Have you always been so level headed?

I cried once after my dad left. My mom hit me for it. I haven't shown my true emotions since.

Tell me your biggest secret. Something you'd never want Salem to know.

No, absolutely not.

I promise it will say between you and me.

Fine. I burned a kid in eighth grade. He'd been bothering me non stop for the past week and mom yelled at me that morning so I just snapped. I don't really remember what happened---One minute I was thinking about hurting him, the next he was screaming, my grandpa's light on the floor. Of course, my mom wasn't very happy about that phone call.

Two truths and a lie.

I had a cat growing up. I can tie almost any type of knot and can learn from just looking at them. And I'm a little dyslexic.

You don't strike me as a cat person.

Yeah, I'm not. I had a dog growing up but it was completely untrained and bit me when I was a kid. I've been afraid of dogs ever since.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

How long ago did you move into town?

A little over two years ago now! My parents moved back to Windfell to be closer to my grandmom after my grandpop died.

Can you tell me about your childhood?

It was okay. We got in a car accident one Christmas on the way to my grandparents house and Dad got hurt so my parents had to work a lot to pay the medical bills. Sometimes we didn't see them for a few days at a time, but I didn't mind. I just took care of my brother.

What have you been up to?

Mostly I hang out with Amelia or read a good book. I also like to hang over Codex's shoulder when they're working! The stuff they do is just so interesting!

Is Amelia hiding something from you?

I can tell something's been bothering her lately, but she doesn't seem to want to talk about it with me. I just hope she'll feel comfortable enough to tell me soon :)

Want to play two truths and a lie?

I've been to a concert or music event. I've never eaten an apple. And I read Les Mis in a single day!

I don't know, Les Mis is a lot to read in one day.

Good guess! I spent the whole day reading it. I've never been to a concert before! I would love to though!
