Hogwarts Mystery biographies
In the Hogwarts Mystery game, there is a "Character Info" screen for friends of the player. It may vary based on which gender or house the player is in. Here are the biographies for each gender and house:

Male Ravenclaw
"Rowan Khanna is voracious reader and aspires to be the youngest professor at Hogwarts. Rowan's knowledge can help you solve any mystery."

First year
Rowan began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1984 and were sorted into the same House as Jacob's sibling, with whom they become friends.

Second year
Upon realising Ben Copper's disappearance during the Start-of-Term Feast of the 1985–1986 school year, Rowan and Jacob's sibling proceeded to search for their friend. When finding a clue that only led to another, one claiming to be found in another common room, they devised a plan for Jacob's sibling to sneak into the said common room during the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin, with Rowan keeping watch.

Jacob's sibling felt the need to return to the Icy Corridor after witnessing Professors McGonagall and Snape rescuing Ben. Accompanied by Rowan, with the use of Revelio, they discovered the Vanished Stairs, and the door to the Vault of Ice, which attacked them, subsequently injuring Rowan. When visiting Rowan at the Hospital Wing, Jacob's sibling brought a book about Wendelin the Weird, much to Rowan's delight. Rowan confessed being quite shaken up by the incident in the Icy Corridor, and suggested Jacob's sibling seeking help from someone more powerful, namely Bill Weasley, who Rowan held in great admiration.
