Only child of Lord Malleck and Lady Karina Ravenclaw.
Mother of Helena Ravenclaw.

Rowena grew up very privileged. Being an only child, she has always been close with her father and mother. Lord Malleck Ravenclaw, a nobleman who recognised the importance of education made it his life goal to teach his only child everything he knew. Ravenclaw was a student of history, mathematics, literature, geography, combat, and magic. She was bright, strong, and everything that her parents hoped she would be, often described as perfect.
At the age of seventeen, Rowena’s life changed forever. As she began to become aware of men and the feelings that came along with them, she also discovered how cruel they could be. One day, she burst through the doors of Ravenclaw manor, screaming with tears running down her face. She had been attacked and raped on her way home from the city stables. Her parent’s begged and pleaded with her to tell them who was responsible for such a crime, but she would not tell them who the man was, though his face haunted her mind daily. In an attempt to move forward, they decided to put the past behind them and act as though it had never happened. That proved to be impossible, however, when Rowena discovered that she was with child.
Rowena was allowed to keep the child, however she and her parent’s attempted to keep it a secret the best they could. After Rowena began showing in her pregnancy, she was kept in confinement, forbidden from leaving the grounds of Ravenclaw manor until after the baby was born. When she eventually gave birth to a girl, Rowena decided on the name Helena, after her paternal grandmother.
A year has now past since the birth of her baby girl and Malleck and Karina are determined to find a suitable husband for their daughter, much to her dismay. It isn't that she doesn’t want a husband. She simply doesn’t think she’ll find one who will respect her with such a stain on her name. Right now, she is simply trying to be a wonderful mother to her little girl. She once had many friends, but since the scandal, she finds true friendship few and far between. Her best friend is Helga Hufflepuff, whom she met upon the girl's arrival to the city.
