Rowan was born to a single mother who was a professional Switch. She does not know who her father is, and she really doesn’t care, as far as she’s concerned he’s nothing more than a sperm donor. They were decently well off, her mother had a handful of high paying clients. They were not rich by any means, but she always had a roof over her head, food to eat and clothes. As a child Rowan took ballet lessons and also did cheerleading.
When she was fourteen Rowan took the test, and it really came as no surprise to her that she was designated a Dominant. She liked being in control, liked having things her way, and could not even think of herself submitting to someone. In high school, Rowan did well in her classes, and enjoyed extracurriculars. She really began to notice that she liked girls as much as boys, and came out to her mother as being bisexual. During this time she also started to explore simple scenes, doing some of what they had discussed in classes that was non sexual because she didn’t feel ready to give up her virginity yet.
College came, and Rowan decided to go to business school with a minor in Dominant studies. She’d seen so many of her mother’s toys and various playrooms over the years, it always intrigued her how they were made. Not that she would be the one to make them, but she thought it could be fun, and a career that would never have a shortage of demand. She also took this time to explore more BDSM, especially the sexual side with both men and women.
After college, Rowan went to work in a local BDSM store. She still wanted to one day open her own place, but that required money and she had student loans to pay off even though her mother helped with what she could. Besides, Rowan thought it would be good experience, and it really was. She leaned so much that she didn’t think she could have ever learned in the classroom. It was important to her to be able to answer any question a customer might have, and on any given day she could easily deal with someone really inexperienced and fresh out of high school needing dildo advice, or someone with 20 or more years of experience wanting to order a custom piece of furniture.
One day when she was getting ready to leave work she got a call from a hospital. Her mother had died in a car accident. For the last number of years Rowan lived in her childhood home, unwilling to part with it, and the memories it held. But, finally she made the choice to sell it, and is using that money and the money her mother left her to open up Leather & Lace BDSM Store in Hope Springs. She’d heard about the town from a friend who had visited there and thought it may be a good place for her to get a fresh start, make some new memories, and have the shop she’d always wanted.
