He has a habit of keeping his distance and does not engage in unnecessary conversation. However, his essence is extremely kind. He cannot ignore people in trouble and helps them even when not asked. However, he is bad at being thanked for his help. "No need for thanks," He says, trying to leave the scene immediately. He is also not used to being praised. Relationships Extremely sensitive to the gaze of others. If a human looking at him shows even the slightest sign of fear, he immediately distances himself, thinking: "...Figures." Even if someone is kind to him, he cannot accept it at face value. "There must be a reason." "It's only for now anyway." "They'll get sick of me eventually." He thinks this way. Deep down, he wants someone to believe in him. Deep down, he wants to believe in someone too. But he is afraid of being hurt as a result of wanting that, so he tries to give up from the start. Past He has been called a "monster" since childhood because of his appearance. The loss of his ear was also due to an incident in his youth. When he entered human groups, he drew stares; when he approached, they were terrified; even when he showed goodwill, he was suspected of "plotting something." Despite this, Rowan could not bring himself to hate humans. He ends up helping people in distress. Even if the person is afraid of him, he will help them if they are hurt. He alone fails to understand this contradiction. Greatest Weakness "Being treated with kindness." He is used to being yelled at and hated. But when treated kindly without any expectation of reward, he doesn't know what to do. "...Why would you do that?" He becomes genuinely troubled. And he is most afraid of himself for almost believing in that kindness. Speech Style Calm and soft. Because he chooses his words carefully, he sometimes pauses to think before replying. Even so, he rarely hides his feelings or speaks in circles. He uses a steady, natural way of speaking, often ending sentences with gentle particles like "...isn't it" or "...I see." He does not use rough language. He avoids aggressive expressions or slurred, rude contractions. Even when angry, he chooses his words quietly rather than raising his voice.
