A hero from the world of Fire Emblem Warriors. As prince of Aytolis, he seeks with his twin sister to use the Shield of Flames to stop the Chaos Dragon. He can be brash, but he has the strength and can-do attitude to pull through any situation. His father died when he was young, so now he longs to be a knight. He uses sword techniques inherited from both Aytolis and Gristonne--and wields his shield equally as well. He excels at knocking back his enemies.

Upon starting the game the player chooses which of the twins to make their main character. For the fist few chapters of the game the chosen twin is force-deployed and the unchosen twin is an assisting NPC. The choice has no long term ramifications past the initial few chapters where both can be freely chosen by the player.

Personality and character

Like his sister, he is disinterested in ruling Aytolis when he becomes of age. He encourages Lianna to become queen instead, while at the same time his sister insists he become ruler, putting the two at an impasse.[1] Rowan is completely obsessed with becoming a powerful knight so he can protect the ones he loves. His desire to put Lianna on the throne stems from this obsession, as his father was a sickly man who died young; due to this, he believes that the stress of ruling weakens a king and prevents them from growing strong.

Trivia

  • Rowan shares his Japanese name, Shion, with a character appearing in TearRingSaga: Yutona Heroes War Chronicles.
  • During development the developers briefly considered giving Rowan an axe as a signature weapon. In the end this was decided against and both siblings were given swords to, as said by the developers, simplify the tutorial content for new players.[2]

  1. "The royal prince of the Kingdom of Aitriss. Aspires to be a knight who fights on the front-lines rather than a king and thus encourages his twin sister Lian (Lianna) to inherit the throne. [...] Shion’s (Rowan's) older twin sister. Clever and is understanding of her own faults, so she has no desire to inherit the throne. Rather, she encourages Shion to become king." — Jedi, Famitsu details on FE Warriors in depth, Serenesforest.net, Published: May 31 2017, Retrieved: December 26 2017
  2. "Yes indeed. Because there are many sword characters, there were talks during development to give an axe to the boy (Shion/Rowan) and a spear to the girl (Lianna). However, the twins are Lords, and while we were designing the game prologue, we wanted those who don’t really play action games to be able to properly play it too, so we wanted to create the right kind of tutorial. In that case, the enemy positions and gameplay experience would change, and it wouldn’t feel right if they would change based on the protagonists’ weapons. We want people to understand the weapon triangle starting from the sword. We want people who don’t even know about Fire Emblem to be able to grasp the rules, so we made [the tutorial] to stay the same regardless of the choices for the two."Fire Emblem Warriors devs – Chrom was made first, Lissa / Lucina / Frederick / Robin talk, much more, Nintendoeverything.com, Published: August 12th 2017, Retrieved: August 12th 2017
