Season 3

"Walk With Me"

The morning after Andrea and Michonne arrive in Woodbury, they are given a tour around town by Rowan. As they walk up the main street, she talks about how 73 people are living in Woodbury, and the 74th is on its way, referencing the heavily pregnant Eileen, who walks by saying hello to Rowan. Later that afternoon, she is among the townspeople to crowd around the newly-acquired military vehicles brought in by the Governor's men and listens to the leader's speech. That night, Rowan is seen asleep naked in the Governor's bed.

"Welcome to the Tombs"

Following the failed prison assault, Rowan's fate is unclear. However, she is most likely dead, as it is likely she was among the Woodbury soldiers killed during the prison raid or massacred by the Governor out on the road, as she was not seen with the remaining Woodburians arriving at the prison.[1]
