Born in East Bluff Keep over twenty years after her eldest brother, Alieron Mikin, Rowena was considered a blessing by her mother and an accident by her father. Her childhood proved to be full of 'accidents' and she grew with a reputation of being less the financial tool a daughter should be and more instead an uncivilized pest. Ironically enough, Rowena's venturous inclinations that were so deeply scorned led to her encounter with the Prince of the Blood.
