Personality: Morgan is a strange mix, mostly in that she has never seen herself as a leader or one to mentor others and yet a lot of people thought otherwise. She takes this role gracefully however and tries her best not to fail those who do look up to her. Otherwise she is friendly, if a bit serious at times, and tends to focus on trying to do the right thing - a heroic heart for sure, but sometimes forgets to just relax and enjoy life. Not to mention her level of resolve to see things done, so much so that sometimes she is unusually stubborn and hard to deter, when maybe she should pause and think.
Beneath this is the heart of a romantic and despite her role as a leader, tends to enjoy being chased after instead. Though she hardly voices this as she is perhaps a bit too humble and isn't sure if anyone would bother after her revival.
A listing of skills, such as horseback riding or cooking and abilities or magic. You can have a total of ten, but temper them to not be overly powerful - except one can be noticeably more powerful, usually the one skill/ability/magic/item that makes them recgonizable.
- Prodigy Swordmaster (Master):Every since being a young woman, she has been naturally gifted with understanding the blade. Since then, her experience has easily led her to being a master, not often matched in melee combat. She is even able to take on several opponents at once with relative ease, almost fooling some into thinking she is some living weapon.
- Divine Grace (Blessing): Morgan is blessed with agility and balance, making it difficult to stagger her, trip her, or otherwise make her lose her footing. Besides making her sword style look like a graceful dance, she can also more easily dodge attacks from opponents. This can include things like flips and cartwheels, even in combat.
- Aura of Courage (Blessing): Morgan herself is immune to fear in all forms, but also inspires those around her, increasing their morale to a significant degree as a permanent effect. Those around her are more likely to go the extra mile, believing they can accomplish what they may have previously thought impossible. This is not a charm effect though and doesn't not inspire people to do things they normally wouldn't be inspired to do.
- Divine Health (Blessing): Amazingly, Morgan does not need to sleep, eat, or drink. She is also immune to mundane diseases and poisons and resistant to magical kinds.
- Still Mind (Blessing): She becomes resistant to any mind-effecting abilities, spells, or skills, making it difficult to charm, lie to, or otherwise manipulate her. This also makes her unusually determined in her tasks, making it hard to lower her morale.
- Ancient Tongue (Blessing): Morgan is able to read, understand, and speak any language. A blessing she was given from ages past.
- Perfect Self (Blessing): Having spent time in Avalon after death, Morgan has been granted supernatural abilities of enhanced strength and endurance, being able to jump eight feet into the air as well as being barely cut by mundane weapons (though they do still cut). The force behind her swings are understandably stronger as well.
- Avalon Robes (Item): Adorned from her return are the robes from Avalon. Not specifically special outside that it can be called like Excalibur. They aren't anymore protective than normal clothing, but with her other abilities, she doesn't need plate armor anymore.
- Excalibur (Artifact): Considered to be "the" legendary weapon, Excalibur boasts some of the most powerful effects from one item. Aside from the staple abilities of never breaking, cutting through almost anything with ease, and being lightweight, it can also be called to it's owner at will - from anywhere, including barriers. It can also cut through and destroy weak magical barriers, is intelligent (though only relates feelings, not words) as well as boasting a small aura sense. Hailing from Avalon, a mysterious heaven-like dimension, it calls upon a unique and powerful energy that makes it nearly impossible to truely guard against - even if you are able to deflect it's blow, it's magic pulses out like a wave, injurying the intended party (if willed). This effect can also be used to fight entire crowds of people with but a single swing of the blade (though it's weaker when less concentrated). The strange magic does one more thing, if the opponent has been summoned or created, it can revert them back to their original state of being - whether to their home plane or undoing their creation. Particularly strong opponents can ignore this however.
Backstory: Morgan grew up in a small village on the edge of Camelot. Having been raised under the watchful eye of a wood worker as a father, she grew up fairly happy despite having no mother, whom died at childbirth. He ended up teaching her that there was joy in creation as opposed to bringing destruction. Though as he often watched her, it saddened him a bit that she didn't seem to connect with her peers, forcing him to feel even more responsible in making her a strong woman.
One day though, a witch came upon the kingdom and seduced Uther Pendragon, put his daughter into the dungeon and everything just started to go downhill. While the commoners were only taxed a bit more, it was more about the general attitude of the kingdom, the guards and even knights started to become more cruel and ruthless - almost like they were being corrupted within. Suddenly, one day a dragon appeared in the skies! It's mighty cries echoed from the castle itself, fire spewing up from the towers until finally it was seen flying in the distance. Most people watched in terror as it called out across the land in anger. All Arthur could do is tell his daughter to run, having a gut feeling that danger was headed their way. She did as her father told her and started to run from the village, looking back once as she saw him running into the house. She never knew why, though she suspected that he was trying to find the family sword - just a normal, well-made steel blade with the family crest on it.
Morgan was just outside the borders of the town when the ground shook with force, her eardrums being assaulted with a roar, only to feel intense heat at her back. Falling down, she spun and looked at the horror - the village was being burned as the dragon flew by! She knew the truth and wept right there, tears streaming down her face as she got a safe distance away. She watched the fire burn all day until it finally died down, the sun setting over the horizon. Ignoring her own hunger and exhaustion, she went back through the ashes before finally finding the sword.. but no body. Clenching her fist, she swore that she wouldn't let this happen again - though strangely, it was not out of vengeance, no. Her father would never approve of such hatred, but instead it was replaced with intense determination for justice.
She wandered into the nearby woods, with the hopes to stumble upon the next village, perhaps finding shelter and a means to an end. However as night fell, her body just couldn't push on and she propped herself against a tree, quickly falling asleep. She stirred to the sound of men yelling at some poor woman, lifting herself up and seeing some of the local guards trying to harass her. Scowling and remembering the dragon having come from the castle, she drew her blade and stood in front of the woman. Despite having no training and the guard both laughing and hissing at her for interfering, she fended them off - for a time. It wasn't long before it was obvious she would loose, but she has the heart of a lioness, gripping tightly to her father's blade.
Fortune favored her bravery though as a man appeared from nowhere and made quick work of the guards, standing among their bodies and observing Morgan silently. She wasted no time in making sure the woman was safe and sent her along her way before the man confronted her for her courage. She heard the tale of the man, who was a "Harper," a group that sought out nothing but good for the people on the world. It was not surprising then that he decided to teach her how to use the longsword and by the gods she was a natural. Even within the first few days, she had become a capable fighter, though inexperienced. Before long, she was traveling with the man and helping the people from bandits, guards, and even finding a way to undermine a knight or two without being caught. It wasn't enough for her though - she knew she needed to fell the dragon.
The man, Vincent, pondered the dilemma. Of hearing a legend, he brought Morgan to a lake south of Camelot and started a ritual before having the woman sit inside the circle. He explained if she wanted a blade capable of killing a dragon, she must sit in the circle without food or water for five days - that if she was found worthy, she would be sustained. He knew it was a risk and even made sure that the young woman understood, but her determination refused to let her pass on the opportunity. Somewhat regretting having mentioned the option, he went about watching over her as she sat in the circle. All she thought of during her time was her memories of her father, the wood working, the joy of creation and how the dragon had destroyed it all - whoever was accountable for the summoning would face justice. That this land was sick and needed to feel the beauty of life once more... just like her father taught her.
Vincent was shocked to see that she was still relatively healthy looking after five days, knowing she was too stubborn to leave for food or water. Before he could question how though, it felt as if the entire world froze in time, snapping Morgan's attention as she perked up. There, on the lake, was a woman who was robed modestly and gripping a blue sword. Walking up to her, she explained that her name was Elaine and she was the ruler of Avalon. She had deemed Morgan worthy and handed her the blade, explaining it's name was Excalibur, forged from the very soul of Avalon and it heard her calling.
As soon as she took it within her hands, she felt the magics pulse along her fingertips, almost like it was speaking to her. It gave her a warm feeling and somehow, instantly, she knew what it was capable of. The sword was more beautiful and more powerful than anything she had ever known. When she looked up to give thanks to the lady of the lake, she had disappeared and time resumed. Vincent could not believe his eyes however, shaking at the sight of the legend coming true.
The very next day, she started her march to Camelot, gripping Excalibur in hand. It's power shined with power as she easily made her way past the witch's army and knights and before long she was in the courtyard, staring the woman down - Mordred was her name. She scowled in anger, seeing her castle being breached and weaved magics to call upon the felled knights and guardsmen. Morgan glanced around and huffed - undead. However these twisted mockeries of life were no match as she raised Excalibur into the air and forced them to return to rest. The witch's eyes widened at the feat and fled, but not before calling upon her dragon, who flew in from the very sky above. The battle was so intense between the two that it destroyed nearly half of the castle before the magical beast was laid limp upon the stone, Morgan taking a moment to press onward despite her injuries. Though she would have wanted to imprison Mordred for her crimes, down in the crypts, the witch refused to surrender to anything but death itself. Details excluded, Morgan had found herself in a strange, deathly realm as Mordred tried to turn into a lich - needless to say that Morgan refused to let the necromancer plague the land anymore and found herself back in the castle after Mordred's death.
Afterwards, she was praised as the savor of the land. Uther had been finally cleared of his mind and let out of the dungeon he was kept in. He instantly gave Morgan knighthood and celebrated. However she went back to the village and made a grave for her father, swearing to honor him and Excalibur by doing what she could to help the innocent and make sure no more needless destruction happened. From there, she went on many legendary quests, earning the title "Queen of Knights," for she wielded Excalibur.
Though much can be said for Morgan's adventurers in the land of Camelot, she was also widely known to have romanced Ovelia, Uther's daughter - or rather she had romanced Morgan. Eventually they got married, despite several opinions given against it by his council. She eventually earned the trust of Lancelot, Uther's most trusted knight other than Morgan, and she lead a life of legend. She also befriended the legendary Wizard Nimue, whom had many adventures with as well. Her final battle however was against a shadowy beast and though through the battle, Morgan could not seem to wholly defeat it, she used Excalibur's power to create seal only moments before her own death. Nimue guarded it for the rest of her days.
Myth: Said to have been a young girl who found a sword in a stone, pulling it from it's resting place and was blessed with Excalibur. She adventured the countryside with the holy sword only to find a witch, Mordred. Having fought a battle that lasted for days, she was rewarded with knighthood by Uther Pendragon. Despite being younger than Ovelia, soon the two went everywhere together and eventually the soon-to-be queen proposed to the knight. However a shadowy beast besieged the kingdom that nearly cost Ovelia's life. Having found a way to seal the creature, Morgan used Excalibur to lock it in place.
Soon enough though, they ran into a mage named Nimue who told them of a terrible dragon that lived in a cave next to the western sea. The trio made their way to the lair and slayed the beast, only for Morgan to be mortally wounded. Building a boat, the pair sent her on a journey into the unknown oceans, said to be the gateway to Avalon - where she lived the rest of her days. Nimue ended up guarding the seal of the shadow beast for the rest of her days while Ovelia married Lancelot, Morgan's best friend.

- ღ Nimue: Nimue is her best friend and a 'sister' like figure in her life. Though despite her love for Ovelia or her kingdom, Morgan has always felt a strange unspoken bond with the wizard. She would die to save her, if needed, and would share her deepest fears and joys if asked by her.
