Rowan

Queen Rowan of Aspennia (also known as the Flame Queen) is the deuteragonist of Calico's 2013 animated feature film, Scorched. She is the firstborn daughter of former monarchs King Atticus and Queen Lucretia, older sister of Princess Ruby, and the contemporary ruler of Aspennia. Her powers over fire and ash ultimately led her to become the Flame Queen at adulthood.

Rowan is loosely based on the titular character of "The Flame Queen", a fairy tale by Titus Florasen, and to a much lesser extent, Augustus from the same story. While the character from the original fairy tale was neutral and, to some degree, villainous, Rowan was rewritten as a tragic heroine.
