Biography
Rowena's father was a powerful criminal lord. Unbeknownst to her father, Rowena had a secret relationship with the son of the enemy syndicate. When her father announced Royal Hale as Rowena's fiancé, she pretended to show affection. She told her boyfriend about her engagement. One night, the boyfriend had his mafia colleagues corner Royce then proceeded to beat him. Rowena watched in amusement as they beat him near death. As Royal lay battered and dying in the street, Carine Cullen found him and bit him to save his life, turning him into a vampire.

After discovering his immense superhuman power, Royal reaped revenge on his attackers. He murdered Rowena's lover then went after her, carrying the broken body of her boyfriend in his arms. He saved Rowena for last.

Personality
From Stephenie Meyer's description, Rowena was an even crueler person than her male counterpart. While the man was cruel, he at least harbored desire for Rosalie Hale while Rowena was ice cold toward Royal.
