Morgana
Tamsin Clarke
PERSONALITY Morgana always has a motive for her actions. She never does anything for anyone without a price. HISTORY Evil is not born, it’s made..... {Camelot} Her presumed father Gorlois, died in battle, fighting on the Northern Plains. During this time her mother Vivienne had a brief affair with Uther Pendragon and later gave birth to Morgana. It was always assumed that Morgana was Gorlois’ child because his wife would never be unfaithful, but truth be told Morgana was the daughter of Uther. Born into the house of Gorlois, no one doubted her parentage. At the age of ten her father Gorlois was killed while fighting enemies of Camelot. It is said that his death was due to Uther’s negligence at not sending the reinforcements he promised. When Morgana was a child she was just as stubborn and headstrong as she is today. She fought Uther every step of the way and never failed to speak her mind. When they had arguments as she grew older Uther would often bring up his taking her in mentioning something such as, “When he died and I took you into my care, you fought me from the beginning. Your will is a strong as mine. You challenge me as a friend would. As your father did in his time.” Uther and Morgana were close. She loved him like a father, and trusted in him to do the right thing, but ultimately disagreed with the harshness of is decrees against magic and those who used it. She and Arthur however were never very close. Arthur was quite a bit older than her, and always tried to pick on her. Morgana knows much of the steel. When she was little she would often help her father with his armor. This carried over when she helped Uther with his on occasion. She was taught the art of sword fighting and isn’t a bad shot with a bow either although she much prefers the blade to the bow. She often dueled swords with Arthur when they were young and bested him. He of course denies this fact to this day. Now however Arthur is a much better swordsman. As she grew older her ideals conflicted with Uther’s more and more. His harsh punishments against those with magic were horrific, and she couldn’t watch innocent people be slaughtered. Arthur following in his father’s footsteps, Morgana has been treated as though she needed protecting her whole life, and lied to, her feelings twisted into something ugly. As previously stated she was not born evil, but her uncle Uther’s treatment towards her and others as well as Arthur’s made her slowly sink into a kind of darkness, once she realized her true powers. Once she realized she had magic, and the threat against her, knowing that even Uther would not save her although he loved her. Morgana slowly morphs into the villain of legend. At first she doesn't agree with Uther's beliefs and harsh punishments for those who use magic, and in the beginning she thinks she has Arthur on her side. After all he wants to be a fair and just ruler as a young man. However the fates have other plans. He is swayed to believe what his father believes that all magic is evil and should be stopped. There are many small betrayals that led up to Morgana’s wrath which she sets upon Arthur, driving her for her lust for power and revenge. In the end though it was trickery, when she thinks Arthur is on her side, and she sets out with him to save a large group of magical folk, but he betrays her. It ends up being a trap and Arthur murders dozens of magical people, innocent people, killing with them ancient magic’s. Morgana has guilt on her conscience for what happened, she feels as though it is her fault, she trusted Arthur, and she lead those people to their deaths and wants vengeance. She bartered with the powerful dark one to make her the most powerful sorceress Camelot had ever seen for the chance to get her revenge on Arthur and Uther, expanding and cultivating her own magic she sinks further into the darkness. Is there any shred of goodness left in her? That young girl who fiercely wanted to protect people, one may never know. RP SAMPLE Please use a sample of the character you're applying for.
