Grandparents
It doesn’t come as much of a surprise when Rowan tells people her grandmother is the Yalia of Yalia’s Astronomical Emporium in Diagon Alley. For anyone who has been there during the summer before the school season starts up again, they’ve seen Rowan working in the shop alongside her grandmother (and her siblings.) Rowan and her grandmother have a bond like no other, both of them bonding greatly over their love of astronomy and magic. Yalia often tutored Rowan outside of Hogwarts too, teaching her math, history, and science. Yalia wanted Rowan to be best suited for the no-maj world as well as the wizarding one. Rowan never knew her paternal grandfather and only briefly knew her grandmother Jane and grandfather Sammy.

Parents
Cyprus Peter Halvorsen grew up in Diagon Alley in a small room above his mother’s shop, a room which Rowan herself lived in for a time. He soon knew that he wouldn’t be well suited for running it and instead joined the Ministry of Magic as an Auror. On one mission, he was sent over to the United States to visit with the President of MACUSA, but he fell in love with New York and promptly decided that he would move there someday. And he did. He took a job in MACUSA and there, met Rowan’s mother, Arsène Geneva Frazier, falling in love with her quickly. They settled in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, a predominantly Polish (which Cyprus was) neighborhood, where they raised their three children. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when Rowan was 10; a dark wizard attacked MACUSA, leaving several floors destroyed and many employees dead, including both Arsène and Cyprus.
