She must be derived from Rowan Marlow ;) (who is more successfully depicted in that sense)

Yes, I'm sure there's a connection! But I agree that Rowan's bluntness definitely isn't shown as all good and she does not have Rowany's ability to see into the hearts and minds of the younger schoolgirls and present them with exactly what they need.

Very curious about All That We Know, although I don't know how much sense it would make to me as an ignorant non-New Zealander. Does it spend a lot of time on the process of te reo learning, which sounds fascinating?

Hmm not so much the process as the politics? Māreikura starts a podcast with a fellow course attender, and this leads through some of the issues around reclaiming te reo/identity.
