PERSONALITY
β AMBITIOUS β Morgana has been shown not to falter in the pursuit of something she wants. Even as a princess of Camelot, she'd been quite motivated in making sure to succeed when she set her mind to something, be it in trying to convince the king, Uther, of seeing things from her perspective, or when she'd been determined to save others, whether it was someone in danger of being executed (often for the crime of sorcery which had been banned in the kingdom) or saving her friends despite their lives being considered less important because of their status as servants. This attitude continued to be a trait for Morgana, even as her mind became more twisted and selfish upon becoming a full-fledged sorceress, and often her pursuits were in trying to obtain her rights to the throne, attempting to overthrow Camelot a number of times and often almost succeeding in the process before being thwarted.
β UNFORGIVING β Often times, Morgana can be quite vengeful to those who betray her and has never been one to forget when someone has gone against her. Though at first, she'd try to brush aside when she'd been wrong, eventually those wrongdoings accumulated enough damage that it became a driving force for her to strike back and claim what she believed to be rightfully hers. Despite having raised her since she was young and eventually being revealed to be her biological father, Uther became the primary target of Morgana's revenge after years of slaying sorcerers and witches with powers just like hers, and though his heart wasn't as hateful as his father, Arthur faced the same vengeful hate from Morgana, due to her belief that he'd proved he was enough like Uther to likely have his same ideals. Additionally, after years of placing her honest trust in Merlin and seeing him as a loyal friend, as soon as he'd made the mistake of attempting to poison her after believing her to be a threat to the people of Camelot, Morgana had never been able to forgive Merlin and aimed to kill him whenever the chance arose.
β MANIPULATIVE β Having been raised as a princess of Camelot, Morgana was trained in the ways of etiquette and behavior, often times for the purpose of communicating and making negotiations with other members of nobility. Abilities like this were meant to prove useful as a significant figure in the kingdom, being the king's ward, and would assist with presenting a proper and respectful appearance that could obtain allies and intimidate enemies. However, this education of behavior would eventually be turned on its head when Morgana would begin to use it to trick her own family and friends. Once she comes to accept that she has too often been betrayed and is unwanted for her use of magic, Morgana begins to pretend to be sympathetic and understanding, while manipulating those closest to her as she plans the death of Uther and her eventual rise to the throne. As she continues to grow as a sorceress, she maintains this skill of manipulation to take advantage of Camelot's enemies, urging them to join with her to defeat a common threat.
β SADISTIC β There was a time in which Morgana had shown an infinite amount of kindness, along with a caring nature towards others that often had her quite concerned for their safety and well-being. Eventually, as her naive view of the world came crumbling down in the realization that she'd been so often betrayed and that hatred towards those with magic would never cease, she began to grow more ruthless in how she responded in retaliation. Once she'd decided she'd pursue killing Uther and Arthur and take control of the kingdom for herself, the way in which she'd conflict pain towards others became frequent and relentless to the point that she began to feel pleasure in it, her responding smile wicked and satisfied as others hurt and bled in her presence. Out came a part of Morgana that no longer felt remorse when she threatened and tortured the ones she'd once called family and friends, making her even less caring towards strangers and the people of Camelot, seeing them as manipulated creatures who'd come to follow in Uther's magic-hating footsteps.

POWERS & ABILITIES
β VISIONS β Morgana is considered to be a seer, having the capability to have visions of the future. These visions often come to her frequently in dreams or nightmares when she sleeps, and she has no sense of control over them, unable to pursue them by choice nor prevent them from happening. Often times, the visions are vague, showing brief moments that lack clarity and detail, limiting her on the knowledge she can obtain from them. β
β NATURAL MAGIC β Morgana was born with magic, which is an uncommon occurrence in her world where magic is more often learned from spell books and enchantments. Because of this, she has a few capabilities that do not require her to speak spells, such as telekinetic abilities (levitating objects, using invisible forces to strike at enemies) and manipulation of the elements (lighting fires with her mind). β
β SPELLS & ENCHANTMENTS β Most people who make use of magic in her world do so by reciting spells and enchantments. Because of this, there is a widespread variety of limitless spells that can be memorized and cast. Since the success of the spell relies on the caster's strength of magic, Morgana has been known to cast many without error, such as stunning opponents, changing the weight of objects, or reversing the effects of healing spells. β

SHIPPING PREFERENCES
WILL ABSOLUTELY SHIP: f/f, 18+WITH FURTHER DEVELOPMENT: f/m
morgana is open to both women and men, but her distrust of men is far superior than that of women, due to the frequency that she's been betrayed and undermined due to her sex. because of this, while romance with anyone would require much effort in developing a trust of loyalty, the difficulty is far higher with men than women.
