.:Personality:.
Morgana possesses a fiesty and sassy personality. She enjoys taunting Arthur and appears to share a level of sibling rivalry with him. She also appears to fancy Arthur to a certain degree. She is very affectionate to her maidservant Gwen considering her a friend more than a servant. When Gwen's father is killed by Uther it prompts Morgana to try and get revenge for both their fathers' deaths by killing him. However Morgana later decided to save Uther from Tauren when Uther told her he was genuinely sorry for the deaths of her and Gwen's fathers.

Morgana's personality becomes darker. She was willing to betray Uther to help Mordred with whom she had formed a close bond with in an earlier episode. She later claims to hate Uther, wishing that she had just let Tauren kill him when she had the chance, and once again is involved in a plot to kill him. According to The Great Dragon Morgana is destined to form an evil alliance with Mordred.

Morgana appears to trust Merlin from early on as she goes straight to him when Gwen faced execution. She appears to notice Merlin's powers after Arthur is saved from being offered to the sidhe. Merlin chooses to distance himself from her after her attempt on Uther's life. Nonetheless she still appears to be looking out for him.

.:History:.


Gorlois was the father of Morgana who died when she was ten years old. He was Uther Pendragon's best friend. Little is known about who Gorlois was or the exact facts of his death. According to Morgana, Uther sent him into battle and promised him reinforcements. However Uther failed to send the reinforcements, resulting in Gorlois's death. Uther promised Gorlois that he would look after Morgana and subsequently adopted her as his own daughter.

In the legend


Morgana is loosely based on Morgan Le Fay, who was the half-sister and enemy of King Arthur in the Arthurian romances. In some legends she was the wife of King Urien of Gore and mother to Sir Ywain, a Knight of the Round Table. Morgan is also believed to have been a great healer from skills learnt in a corrupt nunnery and a powerful sorceress from being tutored by Merlin.

Morgan fell from favour with Queen Guinevère after she had an affair with the queen's brother Gotegrim and was exiled from the court. Thereafter she swore revenge of Arthur and Guinevère. She fled to live with Merlin and became his mistress while learning magic; in some variations of the legend she is also responsible for his death or eternal imprisonment.

Among the Morgan's exploits, she is credited with stealing Excalibur, attempting to murder her half-brother in order to gain his throne, sending the Green Knight to frighten Guinevère to death, and aiding in the conception of Galahad, son of Lancelot. She took Mordred, the illegitimate son of Arthur and her sister Anna-Morgause, as her protege, and he ultimately killed and was killed by the King.

( we are not sure if the Morgana in Merlin will take the same path.)
