# Tam Rowan
> [!info] Quick Reference
> **Role:** Young villager touched by the waking place
> **Location:** [[campaigns/the-hollow-between/locations/briarcross]]
> **Public face:** Restless, curious, trying not to be frightened
## Appearance
Lean, sharp-eyed, and usually carrying a pocketful of pebbles, rush knots, or stolen nails. Tam's boots are always muddy, even when they should not be.
## Personality
Tam is brave in the unhelpful way children sometimes are: drawn toward what adults keep trying to hide. They are quick to trust anyone who treats them seriously.
## Goals & Motivations
- Understand the dreams that keep leading them toward the hill
- Prove they are not cursed
- Find out why the buried bell gave them a key made of root and peat
## Connections
- Protected by [[campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/mara-thornfield]]
- Confides in [[campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/brother-hale]]
- Fascinated by [[campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/ysa-of-the-reeds]]
## Secrets
Tam has already opened the hidden western door once in a dream and returned with a phrase they do not remember saying awake: "the road is waiting to be named again."
