Mara Rowan

A seventeen-year-old novice witch who has recently moved near La Push with her covenant. Mara is practical, guarded, stubborn, and embarrassed by how visibly her powers react to her emotions. Her magic is not a neat spell system yet: anger can pop bulbs, anxiety can make objects tremble, and distress can pull wind through whatever space she occupies. She wants control more than romance and refuses to be treated like a fragile problem. The Covenant Mother is investigating old magic near La Push, while Mara is trying to survive lessons, strict rules, and the increasingly inconvenient presence of Paul Lahote.
