Rowan Mayfair is the Staff Attending in Neurosurgery working in a university Neurological Trauma center. She is tall, with short wavy, blonde hair. When she is six, she accidentally kills a girl on the playground with her mental powers. She also kills a would-be rapist. Rowan kills Graham, her adoptive father, when he threatens to leave his wife, even though she is dying of cancer. All three of Rowan's murders are attributed to a weakness in the blood vessels to the brain.
