|help_text=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.

'''Rowan''' (Japanese: {{hl|シオン|Shion}} ''Shion'') is a character originating from {{FEWA1}} and the prince of [[Aytolis]]. He is one of the kingdom's royal twins, being slightly younger than his sister [[Lianna]] and the more reckless of the two.

Upon starting the game the player chooses which of the twins to make their main character. For the fist few chapters of the game <!--which ones, exactly?--> 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.
=={{FEWA1}}==
Upon starting the game the player chooses which of the twins to make their main character. For the first five 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.


===Role===
===Role===
[[File:Ss fewa escape from castle prerelease.png|thumb|left|Rowan, [[Lianna]], and [[Darios]] escape [[Aytolis]] castle.]]
Rowan first appears with [[Lianna]] at the start of the game arguing about who is going to take the [[Aytolis]]ian throne; to [[Yelena]]'s disappointment. The argument abruptly ends when a soldier walks in and announces that [[Darios]], a friend of the twins, has arrived at the castle. Rowan runs off to meet him with Lianna protesting that Darios had promised to study with her, not spar with him. During the sparring rounds the castle is invaded by mysterious forces, the three are forced to leave Yelena behind but they are able to take the [[Shield of Flames]] with them. Yelena tells them to go to [[Aytolis#Dragon Valley|the temple]] as they escape.
Rowan appears in basically every story dialogue scene in the game with his sister Lianna. After convincing the [[Shepherds (group)|Shepherds]] to join them and obtaining the first [[Gleamstone]] from Chrom, Rowan attempts to contact the [[Hoshido]]ian army while Lianna attempts to contact the clashing [[Nohr]]ian army; each army thinks that the other has kidnapped [[Corrin]]. Rowan meets up with a lost [[Sakura]] and offers to help her find her siblings. The two attempt to convince the Hoshidans that they are allies and simply want to return Sakura to their care, but [[Hinoka]], [[Takumi]], and [[Ryoma]] all have to be fought before they bother listening to any conversation. He then reunites with Lianna, who had to do the same thing with [[Elise]] and the Nohrian siblings. After reuniting they locate Corrin, brainwashed by [[Iago]], and free her, Xander, and Ryoma, by defeating Iago. The Gleamstones from Xander, Ryoma, and Corrin are also obtained.
[[File:Ss fewa marth 02 prerelease.png|thumb|left|[[Marth]] assists the twins in taking the [[Gristonne#Fortified_Citadel|Fortified Citadel]].]]
Having gathered their forces, Rowan and Lianna make their way towards Gristonne's [[Gristonne#Fortified_Citadel|Fortified Citadel]] and fail to take it, having to leave Darios behind in enemy hands. As they retreat they are assisted by [[Marth]], [[Caeda]] and [[Tiki]]. Rowan and Lianna head for the [[Aytolis#World_Tree|World Tree]] to obtain the [[Divine Dragon]]'s power, the swords [[Facinna]] and [[Enliron]]. The group returns to the Fortified Citadel, rescue Darios, and complete the Shield of Flames with Marth's Gleamstone; unfortunately, Darios, now possessed by [[Velezark]], steals the shield and returns to the Aytolis capital to sacrifice Yelena in a ritual.
Rowan and Lianna defeat Darios and rescue Yelena, but they are unable to prevent Velezark from being revived. Velezark then leaves Aytolis, making his way to the World Tree to destroy it. Rowan and Lianna chase after him and defeat him at the World Tree. The heroes are returned to their worlds and Rowan and Lianna return to Aytolis with Yelena. They both opt to take the crown, both becoming the rulers of Aytolis.
