Family:
Mr. Tatting [1847] | Father, Ministry WorkerMrs. Tatting [1858] | Mother, Co-Owner Twilfit & TattingAppearance:
- Tatting [1879] | BrotherLucy Ruth Tattings | [1880] Sister, twin Miss. Twilfit | [1858] Aunt, Co-Owner Twilfit & Tatting
General | Rowan's appearance is quite generic, both in the sense that there is another person who looks exactly like her, but also in the sense of she doesn't really stand out in a crowd if she isn't right next to Lucy. Mousey brown hair with a wave worn up in twin braids and brown eyes to match.History:
Fashion | For someone so uninterested in fashion, she tends to dress quite well. Often in wizarding robes over muggle styles, the fabrics and cuts are often better than one would expect for her class, but that does tend to be the case when your mother owns a clothing store and your female relatives like using you as a dress up doll.
1880 | Born the second oldest, and the first daughter to the Tatting couple, Rowan is born just minutes before her twin. Against the belief of twins being poor luck, the two girls are well received in their family, not being that much of a surprise when her mother was a twin herself. Their childhood is spent mostly helping - read, causing chaos - around her mother and aunt’s store - Twilifit & Tattings.Personality:
1884 | Even at four, Rowan has always had quite a sense of entitlement at being the elder of the twins, even if just by a few minutes. So it leads to a bit of a temper tantrum with Lucy shows her first sign of magic before Rowan does. She’s the elder. She should have been first. Even more annoyingly, this anger does not lead to her first sign of magic.
1885 | Nearly eight months to the day, during a fight with her sister (over Rowan not wanting to try on yet another ribbon when they’ve already been doing so for half an hour), Rowan's anger causes her to show her first sign of magic - to turn her own hair a shade of bright red. This sticks for nearly three weeks before her parents take her to Hogsmeade Hospital for the healers to undo. Having been so long since the original incident, and no longer mad, she actually kind of misses the red hair because for once people outside of their family could tell the two girls apart just a first glance.
1887 | One morning in June, she is sent into a panic upon waking. She cannot see. Unable to see any reason why this would logically happen, it is brushed off as the little girl playing pretend - and is apparently quite committed to the gig. All day she runs in the edges of tables and drawers and misses the turns into doorways. As such, she isn’t allowed into the shop until her game of pretending is over the next day.
It is during this year, that her sister takes up designing her own dresses just like Mama and Auntie. Ones that, when her mother and aunt help Lucy make, she gets roped into trying them on. She doesn’t mind supporting Lucy but Lucy’s designs were never much to the taste of the opinionated child. Too many frills and to much pink.
1889 | Rowan, throughout the years, has continued to have her visions - even if she doesn’t quite know what they are. Most of the time they are quite mundane. She starts to refer to these as Feelings with a capital F. They often manifest over things like complaining of a strong smell a few hours before a customer with a strong perfume comes in or having a knack for knowing when it might rain. No one really pays it all that much mind.
1890 | September sees Rowan and Lucy’s brother away to Hogwarts and the empty feeling in the house makes her immensely grateful that Lucy will not go without her.
1891 | After a full day of her mother and aunt using her as a living dress form, Rowan, in a fit of accidental magic, turns the current set of robes into a dull shade of grey and with great bravo declares that she is quite done with this whole thing and that she’d far rather go with Pappa to the Ministry. Her sister doesn't speak to her for a week.
In February, Rowan faces yet again what she immediately recognizes as a Feeling and spends the whole day both freezing cold and struggling to breathe. Finally having been deemed old enough to be done with childish games, her family takes her breathing troubles with far more seriousness than they took her loss of sight and a trip to the Hogsmeade Hospital reveals… absolutely nothing wrong. The next day, as if by magic, she suddenly has no issue breathing and is back to a normal temperature. As such spends the next few months avoiding any body of water to an irrational degree. At the beginning of April, news reaches England that a cruise ship went down in the ocean causing mass drowning. This prompts a growing belief in her family about Rowen’s Feelings but no name is put to this ability.
1892 | Her and Lucy’s Hogwarts letters arrive in July and the whole household is sent into bustle prepping the two girls. She doesn’t really know how to feel if she is being honest, not that she’ll admit that if asked. One one hand, she is excited to be separated from the store for once in her lifetime. Maybe she’ll go a week without being used as a model. Surely Lucy wouldn’t have fabrics shipped to the castle? Maybe just some ribbons and embroidery here and there would be the most she’d have to deal with. But on the other hand, the Twilfit & Tatting and their small little home in Baronurg is all she’s ever known. But whatever happens, she does have Lucy with her every step of the way. Though it has yet to cross her mind of a possibility that she and her sister might be sorted into different houses. They’ve always been Rowan and Lucy or Lucy and Rowan. Always a package deal.

Rowan is a seer. Ninty-nine percent of the time her visions come to her in feelings and sensations rather than things she actually see. Most of the time they are vauge enough that while she may know what she is feeling, she isn't sure how it applies until she expeiences the actual momment or hears about something happening. Unline other, her Feelings very in levels of good and bad things and sometimes are as mundane as getting caught in the rain or the scent of flowers to things as significant as events such as a sinking.Sample Roleplay Post:
It was Monday afternoon. Normally on Mondays, Calla had her internship in the morning and floo'd home to help around the store and greenhouses in the afternoon. Today, she'd detoured from her routine. Well, she still did her internship, but she'd swapped shifts with Dahlia and instead, floo'd from the zoo to the Dawson farm. She hadn't seen Alice since the train ride home (and spoken to Alice since the night before, the train ride had been distinctly absent of their normal conversation and the two girls had strictly spoken to anyone but the other). She thought she needed to give Alice space after their last... fight. But space and time had passed and she still hadn't heard from the other girl and Calla hadn't worked up the courage to send a letter only to find it returned unopened. At least if she physically showed up, Alice would have a harder time ignoring her. If she gave her more time and space, she was worried she might never see the girl again.
She was dirty but she doubted anyone minded, it was a farm after all. Mrs. Dawson had greeted her at the fire - obviously surprised to see Calla, but she hadn't been turned away. She wasn't sure if that meant Alice hadn't told her mother how rocky they'd been the past few months or if Maire simply thought it was some silly child's spat. She stood at chattered with Alice's mother for a few moments before she was directed outside to the fields to find her... friend? She wasn't she could technically call Alice that right now if Calla was being honest. She'd found Callum first who then pointed her off towards his sister and she waved a thanks and found Alice - as directed, nearby.
"Alice?"
