Born to King Goloris and Lady Vivienne. Morgana did not know much of her mother because she died a few years after she was born due to an illness, which often left her in the care of wet nurses anyway.

She lived with her father in Cornwall, where he ruled over the castle, up until he died by enemies of Camelot and due to a poor decision from King Uther. She was rightfully Princess, now Queen of Cornwall, but was never told it as she was too little to understand back then. As such, King Uther took Morgana in as his King’s Ward and she participated in meetings, balls and such as was requested by him.

She never liked that Uther had such a hatred toward magic, so when Morgana discovered her own magic years later, she was so frightened of it that if her half-sister hadn’t found her, she wasn’t sure if she would have ever gained control of it.

One thing was clear however, Uther needed to be stopped and Morgana sought the crown for herself along with her sisters help. Of course she cared about Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, but she knew that she needed to break off her connections with him so she ended up stepping away from the castle entirely after a siege had gone wrong.

When Morgana found out who Merlin truly was she felt a deep betrayal. If her sister had not come along, he could have at least helped her and yet he chose not to. Instead he had poisoned her, ruining her friendship and whatever she could have had with him entirely. She sought out vengeance, from Merlin who betrayed her and from Arthur who had her throne.

The battle of Camlann approached and Morgana entrusted Mordred to kill Arthur. He succeeded, but in her guilt, as she watched Merlin carry him away, she wished that things could have been different.

So she waited, lingering but keeping her distance from Merlin whom she knew would never trust her again and she mourned the loss of the King and Mordred, but hoped that one day they would all be brought together again.

Morgana currently resides on the small island as seen in the show and is known as the only high priestess left. she has rebuilt it so that it is flourishing with plant life, something she discovered over the years that she is good at. she doesn't get many visitors, but those that she does get know that she is a witch and go to her for help with whatever magical malady they need help with. some things morgana turns down, but for the most part she is willing to help so long as dark magic isn't involved.

cornwall was turned into a regular city years ago, with no ruling king or queen over it, though morgana is still known as the queen despite it, having left years ago due to her not aging. she donated a lot to the city to help it thrive and continues to overlook it from afar.

she has a cozy house on the island, with a few exrta rooms in case anyone from her time ever does return, something that she had visions of years ago and still does ❛ see ❜ on occasions.

in her alternative modern verse: morgana goes by magdelena 'lena' frey. single mother, deals with nightmares from her past life. she's a new lawyer who is trying to not let her nightmares and reactivated powers affect her life too much.
