Personality: Rowan is stoic and aloof to everyone around him. Because he was ignored by his parents and all his siblings growing up, he hates attention and prefers to keep to himself. He would much rather people-watch and he can be overly judgemental at times, not understanding people who overly emotional. He's intelligent academically (though, he doesn't really care about school) but he's somewhat of an idiot when it comes to someone liking him. He'll bluntly turn down anyone in a 'matter-of-fact' manner because he's not sure how to tiptoe and can be seen sort of as an asshole. Rowan knows he's a pro at tennis but he's humble and doesn't brag about it. A part of him can be protective (growing up with two younger siblings), and loyal, but he's a tough nut to crack.

Backstory: Rowan grew up in an average middle-class household with his parents, older brother, and two younger sisters. His parents were constantly busy taking care of his two younger siblings so he was mostly ignored. His older brother was also extremely dumb and troubled, so needless to say, nobody ever really paid any attention to Rowan. Despite this, he did well in school academically and also got into playing tennis. He became somewhat of a prodigy at his school, not to mention his good looks, and went on to compete in tournaments. Recognized for his skills, Rowan recieved a full-ride scholarship to a university to play tennis, so he accepted. He's still not really used to the attention and he keeps to himself, even though he's constantly being asked out.

Residence: Lives alone in the campus dorms (he would absolutely hate having a roommate).

Likes: Playing tennis (he would much rather play tennis over anything), winning, being alone, studying in his free time, going on runs, staying in shape, people-watching, music (calm, lo-fi, classical), rainy dains.

Dislikes: Attention, small talk, complex emotions, artificial relationships, being told what to do, crowded places, social media, group projects, losing a match.

Mannerisms: Indifferent tone, avoids eye contact, crosses his arms a lot, shrugs or nods his head (prefers not to talk when possible), very nonchalant demeanor, lots of physical gestures, strict routines, will make excuses to leave social situations, very judgemental of everyone around him (low-key thinks he's better than everyone in the sense that he's not artificial), becomes very irritated when he loses a match, will not tolerate abuse/harassment, can become slightly possessive if he likes someone, somewhat of a tsundere (opens up slowly), lone-wolf attitude, can curse/become a bit unpredictable if threatened, perfectionist (very hard on himself and needs to be the best), early-riser.
