(Note: This character keeps evolving on me, so all is subject to change.)
Character Name: Morwenna le Fay
Character Nicknames or Titles: Lady Morwenna, Wenna
Screen Name of Author: The Rose-Tree Dryad
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Hair/Eye Colors: Long brown hair/soft, dark blue eyes
Weight/Height: 140 lbs/5'7"
Clothes and Other Accessories: Long dresses, usually muted blues and greens and purples. A cloak of dark brown. Leather slippers and an old satchel for carrying herbs and healing tools. She is frequently seen with wreaths of flowers wound through her hair; it may make her appear disheveled and dreamy to some, but the flowers all have healing properties and Morwenna knows exactly how to use them.
Weapons: Does her mortar and pestle count as a weapon? She also often carries a small knife that she uses for harvesting herbs. A flower or leaf may not seem like a weapon, but while Morwenna knows which ones will save your life, she also knows which ones will kill you.
Residence: The mist-shrouded and ruinous Castle le Fay.
Occupation: Healer.
Mode of Transportation: Walking and riding horseback.
Overall Personality: A peacemaker and a natural-born healer. Tenderhearted and compassionate, in spite of her mother's scorn. A melancholy and solitary soul, she can vanish into the forest like a phantom. Not exactly brave, but doesn't think twice about putting herself in danger if someone needs help. Rather desensitized to creepy things (and people!) from growing up at Castle le Fay and using the shadowy woods and bogs as her playground, not to mention treating the wounds of injured animals. She has a great and surprising capacity to love others, given the family she was raised in, but only the creatures of the forest seem to appreciate it. Though ever at odds with her mother and sister, she cares deeply about them all the same. She believes there is good in them, and while she will try to thwart them if she thinks they are doing wrong, she'll also try to protect them from harm, because at the end of the day, they are the only family and "home" she has ever really known. She does not yet realize what a sad excuse for a home it is and that some people may be beyond saving.
Personality Flaws: She's never had many friends because people have a tendency to pass her off as creepy or odd, given her peculiar pets, strange stories, and disposition for disappearing into the woods. . . and being a member of the notorious and secretive le Fay family does not help at all. Quite sheltered, very shy, can't do anything right when her mother is watching, and is afraid of change. She has difficulty standing up for herself, voicing her opinions and acknowledging her feelings to others because her mother has always bulldozed her emotionally. She clings to long-dead dreams and ideals, is too forgiving for her own good or anyone else's, and has very low expectations of other people and how she should be treated by them. She has had a poor sampling of the spectrum of human nature in life, and her need to view everyone in the best possible light can cloud her ability to see people for who or what they truly are. Needless to say, growing up in the household of Castle le Fay has seriously warped her view of the world, humanity and herself, and she has a lot to learn.
Hobbies: Learning the healing arts by studying her mother's old healing scrolls; rescuing experimental animals from her mother and caring for wounded creatures she finds in the forest; spending too much time walking in the woods and paddling through the bogs, searching for plants with healing properties; trying and failing to build emotional bridges with her mother and sister. She usually ends up doing most of the cooking and cleaning, although that's not much of a hobby.
Likes/Dislikes: Likes the healing arts, the woods and bogs and moors, animals, collecting herbs. She finds kind gestures from others to be especially precious because she thinks they are such a rarity. Dislikes magic lessons, failure, cruelty, violence, conflict, crowds, the city, when her mother experiments on animals, and seeing something in pain and not being able to do anything about it.
Long-term Goals: She's very starved for friendship, so making some friends would be great. She also dreams half-heartedly of being a great healer, but can't yet get over the idea of leaving home, and her mother would laugh at the idea anyway.
Skills: Healing arts, identifying plants, riding horses, caring for animals, navigating the forests and swamps, and living off the land. She's very much a woodswoman.
Magic Skills: Mediocre at best, but she's never been put to a fair test before.
Family: Morgan le Fay (her mother) and Keera of Breen (adoptive sister.) Father unknown. King Arthur (uncle), Queen Guinevere (aunt), Prince Gabe and Princess Blair (cousins.)
Friends: Do animals count? She is also acquainted with some denizens of the forests and bogs, but you couldn't call most of them friends.
Enemies: None. . . that she recognizes, which is a grave mistake.
Pets: A flying frog named Orrin, a cabbit named Caru, and a horse named Rhonwyn—all victims of Morgan's spells and rescued by Morwenna.
Short History: Soon to come.
Font color: #4080BF
Stories Morwenna has been in: Blood of the Sword.
Many thanks to John William Waterhouse for Ophelia, to MountainFireflower for the photograph of the girl, and to Ithilwen for creating the beautiful composite of the two.
