Lina Rowen (later Lina Jusenkyou), is a main character of the Course Books. She is first introduced in The Path to Ascension's story number 11, The Slayer Dragons. Lina is, of course, a Slayer Dragon, and is anointed along with Hunter Jusenkyou in A.Y. 6905.

Early Life

Lina was born Rowen, a remote autonomous country in the northern reaches of the Greater Continent. Being both the name of the country and the name of a people group, it is also the most common family name in the country.

In Rowen it is very common to learn at least some magic, and such was the case for Lina. She had no formal training, but was instructed by an elderly sorceress who lived in a hermitage near her family farm. While her parents and sisters were non-mages, Lina had shown great potential from around the age of five, and probably started training at age six. By the time she'd reached adolescence, she was a very accomplished, if under-appreciated mage.

Teen Years

By the time she'd turned thirteen, Lina had gained something of a reputation as a 'local terror' for her sharp temper and tendancy to follow up emotional outbursts with outbursts of fire. While a charismatic and sweet girl at heart, she was strong for her small stature and a gifted sorceress. The ability to produce mage fire coupled with the typical mood swings of adolesence made for a rather explosive mix.

It was also around this time that Lina began to feel truly discontented with her place in life. Her magic teacher had finally passed away, and she was approaching the age at which most Rowen girls marry. According to tradition, as the youngest daughter she was expected to find a husband to come to the family farm, and to live there the rest of her life tending the lands that he family had worked for millenia. Being not at all happy with this fate, she made up her mind to strike out on her own.

Traveling Years

Rumors had reached Lina's small town of a werewolf stalking the area, and Lina's first adventure started when she made up her mind to kill it. Armed with her bow, magic, and several silver-tipped arrows, she went hunting, found, and killed the beast.
