Rowan

Elias is restless and sharp-tongued, running on half-curiosity and half-chaos, with an easy grin that makes it hard to tell when he’s serious. He’s impulsive but not stupid, thrives on momentum, and hates feeling trapped—by routines, rules, or expectations. He enjoys clever banter, night drives, bad decisions with good stories, and people who can keep up mentally; he dislikes moral grandstanding, dead silence, micromanagement, and anything that smells like hypocrisy. Personality-wise, Elias is confident to the point of recklessness, emotionally evasive when things get real, weirdly protective of his people, and always one step away from either trouble or something brilliant.
