## Biography

### Background

Morgana was born as the eldest daughter of Gorlois of Tintagel and Ygraine on 485 AD at the territorial province of Tintagel. Her younger sisters were Elaine and Morgause, who, like her, were to be future queens of Caledonian kingdoms. However, her father, Gorlois, had died; and the newly ascended King Uther Pendragon of Camelot had courted her mother, Ygraine. Their mother's marriage to Uther led to the prophesied birth of their half-brother, Arthur; and triggered their hatred towards Camelot. About that time, Morgana, already married like her sisters, made a pact with Circe to be her apprentice, leading then to her inability to bear children.

As an apprentice of Circe, Morgana knew the dark arts and practiced sorcery that she had used to her advantage. Upon learning of the prophecy that surrounds Arthur and the Unknown Seer, she searched and figured out who was meant to be the latter. She then tried to summon and lure her to their world, but found out that even Merlin, the future Court Sorcerer, was leading Eira Prowell, the Unknown Seer, to fulfill her duty though. However, Merlin succeeded in summoning Eira and she continued plotting against Arthur then, keeping the fact of Merlin's involvement with Eira's arrival as her last card.

### Arrival at Camelot

On XXX, Morgana arrived at Camelot with her nephew, Mordred. She posed as Arthur's younger sister, the late Princess Anna Pendragon, and made an elaborate history about her supposed-to-be existence. She posed by saying that she had lived her life outside of Camelot and be married to a well-off lord, but had been widowed not too long ago and left alone with her mute son, Dearan. Arthur accepted them to the castle, and the two immediately adapted. As Anna, she had been accepted by Camelot as its lost princess and had been given quite a responsibility in the internal affairs of the Court.

### Connection with Guinevere

Despite being accepted in Court, too many became cautious and suspicious of her kindness. Once, she asked Arthur if it was possible for her to invite Princess Guinevere of Cameliard to Camelot since they were friends. Arthur allowed Guinevere to arrive at Camelot, allowing her to clearly flaunt that she favored the Princess of Cameliard to be Arthur's bride.

During one morning, when she had been spending tea with Guinevere and they've invited Eira with them, they discussed about how it was time for Arthur to settle down with a king. When a small incident had led for Guinevere to lose her memories, she had suggested for Arthur to ensure the Princess's safety since he was the only one she could remember. Though when it had been revealed that Guinevere was faking about losing her memories and tried to put the blame on Eira for being injured, she was quick to break her friendship with the Princess.

Ever since that time, she became less involved with the matters involving the Court. However, at the time that the memories of everyone about Eira, Percival and Claudin had been removed, it appeared like she had suggested for Guinevere to be Arthur's betrothed as it had been mentioned that it was her who've asked her to come with Arthur at the knights' camp. By the time that Arthur's memories returned, she appeared to have reformed her relationship with Eira and agreed for the continuation of Arthur and Eira's marriage.

### Revelations

During the preparations for the wedding, Arthur received reports of a squabble just within Camelot and headed on to battle himself. During that time, Anna finally revealed her true identity to Eira as Morgana by inviting Eira to her room and showed to her that she was the one behind the stealing of the Excalibur's Scabbard. She revealed to Eira that everything had been going on as planned, and placed a magic on her to make her appear like a harpy and a mute. She used the opportunity then to twist the minds of everyone and subjugated Eira as a witch who've tried to fool Arthur.

Morgana then planted Eira to be executed. During Eira's imprisonment as she awaited her execution, Morgana visited her and caught Dearan, which was revealed to be Mordred, helping Eira to return back to her original form. She had Eira's closest companions also imprisoned to be executed with her the following day. She also revealed to her that it wasn't actually just her who've led her to be brought in this world, but also Merlin; for their combined powers of drawing her to this time had successfully led her to their world. Eira didn't believe her, but later realized that she was saying the truth since Merlin, on his first meeting with Eira, told her that he and countless others had been waiting for her and it was him who've first met with her.

The following afternoon, Morgana led the execution but Lancelot and few others arrived in time to save Eira. When Arthur heard of the news, returning back to Camelot at once, she manipulated the story by saying that Lancelot had kidnapped Eira; and she suggested for him to head on to battle in order to save her. During the time that he wasn't in Camelot, he urged Mordred to stand as the new king by spreading false information that Arthur had already died.

Little was known about her involvement with the Battle of Camlann, but she was believed to have died along with Mordred as per the words of assurance Eira received from Lord Phoenix and the fairies of the Lake of Avalon. It was presumed that Morgana had lent her powers and strength to Mordred, and in turn, at the death of the latter, she also died as well.

## Physical description

Morgana was known for her dark, long and wavy hair with bright blue eyes, traits she inherited from her father and mother, respectively. However, she posed as Anna Pendragon to make Arthur and everyone believed that she was the long lost princess. As Anna, she was described to have long, luxurious blonde curls and retained her bright blue eyes.
