Description[]
"Darlings. Sweeties. I'm Misty Moore. I'm a Broadway diva, lover of music, lover of energy, lover of dance and light and stars and music and brilliance. I'm, well, a lady would never say her age, so I won't! I'm four-foot-something, maybe 5'1" in a beautiful heel. Always wear a tap shoe, even outside. I'm just loving life, loving love." ― Siobhan Thompson
Misty is shown to be quite devoted to her acting career. Gregarious, outgoing, and confident, she is very charismatic, but perhaps can be slightly self-centered. Not shy about sexuality as Misty, she seems to especially enjoy flirting quite a bit as Rowan when she first is reborn. Because of her functional immortality, she has unique views on sex and death. She is also not afraid to use her fey magic to get good results, as seen in episode 12, when she uses magic on a theater critic to ensure favorable reviews.
Misty/Rowan has pale skin, short silver hair, pointed ears and yellow eyes. She is depicted as wearing a wide-brimmed sunhat, orange, red and yellow jewelry, a long orange robe, cream dress-pants, and silvery high heels (although she is described as always wearing tap shoes).
As Rowan, she appears nearly identical, but is portrayed as much younger looking. In her raw, pure fey form, she is described as an "uncanny valley version of a human", with features overexaggerated and too slender.
Background[]
Rowan has been reincarnated many times and has thus had many names. A few weeks after Peter Stuyvesant surrendered to the British in the mid-1600s, Rowan, then known as Holly Branch, played a practical joke on Peter by stealing his wooden leg. This scene of Holly dancing around a may pole with the leg is displayed as a wood etching at the Ellis Island exhibit "From New Amsterdam to New York". Presumably this is the form and name she used when she arrived in the mortal world and kept until the 1700s. She followed a Morris dancer across the ocean to New York City, where she has stayed since.
She has been in New York City for a very long time, and has known many influential figures, including various Vox Phantasmas and Vox Populi. In the 1880s, she was familiar with the Vox Phantasma at the time, Emma Lazarus, who she describes as being "a fun lady". In the 1920s, she was also friends with the Vox Phantasma Josefina Gatsby, who she describes as "fabulous" and "fun", and often partied with. It is currently unknown which identity she was using during both of these time periods.
Sometime before 1994, when Kingston Brown became the Vox Populi, she became Misty Moore and started a career as a Broadway actress. She and Kingston became friends and solved all sorts of magical crises in New York for several decades. They often teamed up with other prominent members of the Unsleeping City, such as Alejandro Ortiz, Jackson Wei, Patricia and Gabriela Sinclair, Kugrash, Rabbi Mike Salters, and the Shen Family, among others. Misty took part in taking down the Mummy of the Met.

Perry is Misty's director for Midsummer Nights, and they get along as one would expect of a harried director and the diva of the piece. Misty is often dismissive of Perry's concerns in her characteristically charismatic way.
Stephen Sondheim[]
Sondheim carries a respect for Misty as a fellow theatre person, which Misty reciprocates with a healthy dose of reverence for his station as a cultural icon.
Kingston Brown[]
Misty and Kingston have a long standing friendship, having gone on many capers together in New York City, particularly one involving a mummy at the Met Museum which is contained in an ankh sitting on top of Kingston's fridge. Misty is openly attracted to Kingston and has been for quite some time. However, Kingston doesn't appear to reciprocate this.
Pete Conlan[]
Pete is deeply infatuated with Rowan upon meeting her, creating mixed feelings within himself having been close to her while she was Misty but being attracted to Rowan.
Between the events of Times Squaremageddon and The Fall of New York City they developed some degree of romantic relationship that ended after a party when an intoxicated Pete vomited into her lap. The next day Pete left with no explanation to Rowan, feeling extremely embarrassed and went on to not speak with Rowan for about three years. After The Dream Team went to Rowan in Faerie, she says that she had already forgiven Pete the next day and the two begin to understand how they've both changed and why their relationship didn't work out.
