#RPGaDAY2026: Day 3 Poise

Rowan Abigail McGowan has Poise.Not the finishing school kind. Far from it. Not the "walk with a book balanced on your head" kind. Rowan has more skill balancing a saddle and a sack full of feed while avoiding the usual hazards of a horse barn. No, Rowan's poise is the kind you get when the dead are restless, the living are scared, and someone has to ride into the middle of all of it. As a Spirit Rider, Rowan feels the connections more than most people. Pain, fear, grief, rage- all of it presses down on her. But she doesn't not break, despite only being a teen.
