Today on Southern Scribblings, we’ll be talking about Morgana Gwylen. Morgana is the younger sister of Daelin, but she doesn’t let her older brother’s heir status overshadow her personality. Mor has a power all of her own, and she uses it to fiercely protect her family and her friends.
~ Full name: Morgana Gwylen. In one of the earlier drafts for Heart of an Elf, I was thinking of entertwining a King Arthur thread, and so I named Daelin’s sisters after the two famous half-sisters of King Arthur: Morgan(a) Le Fay and Elaine. I ditched the idea later on, but I still like the girls’ names, so I kept them. Morgana is often called Mor for short. Age: 18. Race: Human (Baelimorian) Appearance: Like her brother, Mor has dark brown hair. It’s waist-length, but she typically keeps it up in a braid or in a large chignon bun at the back of her head. When she’s fighting, she keepts it braided because the buns keep falling out. She has brown eyes, and she has a scar on the left side of her head when someone threw a bottle at her. (I can’t say who because spoilers.) At fifteen (without Daelin’s knowledge), Morgana got a tattoo on her right ankle, an embellished H. She later told Daelin it was for their ancestor Hucwyn, but unbeknownst to everyone else, there’s another reason for the letter. (To be revealed later!) Counterpart: Morgana has two counterparts, but only one made it into the character profiles: Ophelia from the Shakespear movie retelling Ophelia, and Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, from the TV show Cursed. One-word descriptor: protecting Archetype: warrioress Myers-Briggs: Morgana is an ISFJ, making her a Protector. Enneagram: Morgana is a 9 (Peacemaker) with an 8 wing (Challenger), making her an Advisor. Love Language: Even though she’s experienced physical trauma, both before and during the events of HOAE, Morgana still longs for physical touch. She and Alaine would always cuddle close to each other in the cold nights, and to this day, Morgana is a big hugger. Values: Morgana values Elu, who is the source of her joy during Baelimor’s reckoning. She also holds dear her family and friends, especially Seathan, whom she has grown to love during their teenage years. Skills - While her friends all trained in the ways of the sword, Morgana fell in love with archery. She’s just as good with a blade, however, and has a secret special ability that she uses after battles. (Not saying more because spoilers.) Flaws: Morgana doesn’t have many faults, but they’re there. Perhaps her biggest one is that she’s too self-sacrificing, and hardly ever thinks of the damage an event will do to herself. This is pretty reckless on her part, but despite Daelin’s and Seathan’s warnings, she hasn’t quite grown out of it. She also is very passive aggressive, and doesn’t communicate well because although she doesn’t want to speak up and be a burden, she wishes that those around her would understand what she wants. Worst Fear: Morgana has seen her brother almost die a few times, and she knows that even though he’s doing his best to fight off the shadows, he’s not immune to them. Her worst fear is that she won’t be able to save her brother from doing something crazy - or worse, that Versu’s shadows will overtake her family. ~ That’s all for now! So, what do you think of Morgana? Do you think I should change her name, or leave it as it is? Let me know in the comments!
