Rose

A/N: I use the name "Rowan" and use he/him pronouns before transition. She goes by Rose, and uses she/her pronouns in the current time.

Rose was born Rowan of Flotsam to a poor merchant and his wife. Rowan was only a 2 years old when he was taken from his family via the Law of Surprise, and became a Cat-School Witcher. Acrobatics was always his strong suit, and he found himself excelling in anything to do with speed, flexibility and gymnastics.

Rowan began his journey on the path at the age of 19 and quickly found it a bore, as his passions lied not with fighting monsters or being scorned by people. Despite his hate for his career, he continued to fight. He found being a Witcher similar to being a performer, he would put on a gruff persona, be stoic and quiet and be a spectacle for others.

After 40 years on the path, he quit his job as a Witcher and began a new identity. Rose, a jester and performer. She joined a Circus under a new identity (and new gender, because Witchers can't be women...). She's much happier with this, and despite crossdressing only to hide her identity as a former Witcher, she found herself enjoying being a girl more than she expected.
