• For her efforts during the war in ARR the Admiral gifted Morgana a manor in the Mist. It is a permanent home but she's rarely there and the manor instead relies on hired help to keep it clean and ready whenever she decides to head home.




• Her bedroom at said home is pretty simple; bed, nightstands, chest at the end of the bed full of linens, a large closet for her clothes, and a display cabinet full of items that mean something to her for whatever reason.

• Can speak most languages. Mostly learned because of the Echo; she can understand all language due to it, but it doesn't work in reverse so learning to communicate in native tongues became an area of interest and she's carried that into adulthood where it's come in handy for her mercantile endeavors.




• Has a very good sense of when to speak her mind and when to keep her mouth shut. When she does speak her mind she doesn't hold back, though.




• Excellent memory, nearly picture perfect. Possibly an Echo power but present all the same, and it means she remembers the good and the bad. She tries not to hold grudges over the bad but easier said than done.

• Is rarely without her Great Serpent Ring. It was a gift during Heavensturn for Year of the Snake from an unnamed someone, and she feels it's an honor to wear it.




• Has a very extensive wardrobe because of her political stuff, she has to have an outfit for pretty much every occasion. It's well organized and she can find anything she needs at any time.




• Wears layers when it's cold out; long johns to hold in heat, and at least 2 layers on top of those. Heavy gloves, ear muffs, a hood, and a face mask too. Wearing layers sucks but it's better than freezing.

• Favorite season is winter. Few people go out and when they do they cover up so she can mask and be unrecognized without it being suspect. Plus snow is peaceful to her.




• Favorite place to be is Tural. She enjoys the rich life of the city, the warmth of a relatively tropical location, and the beauty of it all.




• If Morgana were a candle she'd smell like a mixture of sage and lemongrass. Deep and earthy with that slight high smell.




• Best represented by the lilac; its delicate color makes its way into most of her outfits, and it's used to ward off evil. Plus it smells really good!




• Not a fan of sweets. Will indulge in them if offered and has a few favorites (usually complex desserts) but otherwise stays away.

• Cisgender and has never questioned that, she's a woman and she's proud of it. When it comes to those who are not cis she protects them; the world is harsh on them too, and they don't deserve it for not being the gender assigned to them at birth.

• Does not smoke, drinks alcohol only occasionally (and is very picky about what kind she drinks), and takes the world's version of pot edibles. She has a supplier she regularly visits and while she used to do infused chocolates she found that they don't travel well and switched to individually packaged hard candies so if they melt they're still fine.




• When drinking/drunk at first she relaxes, then smiles more and openly flirts with whoever her partner is at the time, then she gets dizzy and sick and tries to find somewhere private to throw up and pass out.




• Has immaculate table manners, and makes sure she knows how each culture she's dealing with does such things so she doesn't accidentally offend anyone.




• Is very punctual, often showing up 20-30 minutes early to things just in case as it's better to be early than late.




• By the same token she does not do last minute shopping. Instead she tends to accumulate 'gifts' throughout the year for holidays and birthdays and wrap them up just before they're to be given.




• Is to some degree a perfectionist, though she tries not to let that get in the way of things.




• Very dry sense of humor, does not laugh easily. Only cracks 'jokes' when she's comfy with someone, but even then it's barely.




• The dead are dead. It is not worth the time and effort to go out of ones way to remember/honor/whatever them, they are dead and do not care. That is time better spent helping the living. She remembers the dead and may need a moment if something triggers the memories but a moment's pause is all she gives it before moving on.




• Learned to dance originally thinking she could make money off of it, but ended up using it as a combat technique. It's practical so she practices and is good at it because she needs to be for combat purposes.




• Tries to keep her anger bottled up and take it out during combat, but sometimes that's not enough and she snaps. It's 'quiet person pushed to their limits' snapping, too.




• Finds it hard to back down from a challenge and is extremely competitive; she's always had to prove herself, so if someone thinks less of her she instantly tries to prove them wrong if only so she can rub it in their face later.




• Takes bad news in stride; if it's no one's fault and the news is just out of everyone's hands then so be it. If there's someone or something to blame, however, her wrath is coming.

• Can handle pain pretty well honestly. Not one to complain if she's hurting, and most people don't realize until it starts showing in her body when it can't take anymore.




• Not clumsy at all, but that's mostly due to her Dancer training.




• Enjoys doing chores. She finds them meditative and likes how each one helps tidy the space around her. A clean space helps her think better, and she sleeps better knowing she did productive things.




• Her skin has been described like touching sandpaper; scars on top of scars, especially her hands. But to be smooth/soft is boring to Morgana, she prefers her scars and the stories they tell.




• Likes doctors/healers/etc because she understands their importance - and not to piss them off because she knows how nasty they can be if angry.

• Not particularly creative. No room/time for such things when she was a child, and no desire to pursue them as an adult.




• Loves going to parties, especially high-end ones.

• Doesn't like to make Heavensturn resolutions; they either don't happen and she's disappointed, or she has to go out of her way to do them so it's just not worth it.




• Valentione's Day is usually spent with her current partner walking around and enjoying Gridania.




• From growing up poor, Morgana likes to spend her Starlight buying gifts for the local kids so they don't go through what she did.

• Nanamo is Morgana's best friend. The Bloody Banquet was hard, and one of the few times Morgana totally lost her composure. Afterwards she dressed as an attendant to look after Nanamo for weeks, but it's purely platonic.




• Never had a real relationship breakup, just a lot of one or two dates and "eh you're not my type" things.




• Most people assume she's not the type to date and are surprised to find out she's with someone.




• Loves cuddling and physical contact since she was touch starved as a child.




• Her parents are dead, and they were never around when she was a child leaving her to raise her 2 younger sisters. She understands why they did what they did, but that doesn't make up for the trauma it caused her.




• Got the purple eye from mom and green eye from dad, only one of the siblings with heterochromia. Otherwise does not get told she looks like her parents, which is puzzling but not one she's willing to try and solve.




• Does not want children of her own. Too much stress on her body and she doesn't want to raise kids again, she got enough of that with her sisters.




• Loves animals. Takes in stray cats and dogs where she can, and otherwise tries to help them as best she can because she thinks it's a shame that any animal is homeless.




• Gets along well with most of the Scions, though she finds Y'shtola to be intimidating and hates Urianger due to how he's repeatedly lied to everyone. She'll work with him if necessary but makes it very clear that she is maintaining professionalism and on a personal level wishes him dead.




• Keeps secrets quite well. If you tell Morgana something she will keep her lips shut and take it to the grave unless she's told otherwise.




• Tries to be understanding and is generally nice if people explain things to her. But if they ghost/flake/whatever and don't explain then she will track them down, verbally lash them (preferably in front of other people for maximum embarrassment on their end), and cut them out of her life forever. There's no time for people like that.




• Betraying her trust is the one way to get Morgana to hate you forever. She might understand why it had to happen, especially if someone feels really remorseful about it, but at that point it becomes "I'll work with them if I must, but that's it" and she's gonna be hypervigilant the whole time.




• Empty promises are also a big no-no for Morgana, to her if you make a promise you'd best be ready to keep it and if it must be broken then the circumstances had better be outside your control. Anything less and she'll have your head.

• Would love cute little farming sim games like Stardew Valley. Prefers to play alone as video games are her solace from dealing with people all the time as the WoL.




• Asks Girl Scouts what's the last day they're gonna be at a location and tells them to bring their entire stock on that day, which she buys out for herself from like 3-4 different troops in the area. Also gives the troop leaders her phone number so they can call when the girls are doing door to door and she can make sure to be home and order a ton of them that way.




• If in a video game would absolutely be a merchant NPC who gives helpful tips on not being ripped off by other, shadier merchants.




• Office cubicle would only be decorated by things her coworkers got her. If she leaves/gets fired/whatever then she'll pack it all up but save probably 2-3 items from her favorite coworkers the rest is getting tossed in the first dumpster she drives by more than a mile from the office.




• Hates going out to the theater/cinema. Staying home means no movie yappers, she can wear and eat what she wants, pause/rewind as needed, and watch with subtitles to better understand what's being said.




• Loves horror movies. Doesn't jumpscare easily and finds them predictable, but will sometimes sleep with the lights on afterwards if something spooked her.




• Seems well rounded in her interests, keeps up with the latest popular thing. But in secret her favorites are the trashy reality shows, she can binge a whole season in one night with some popcorn.




• If she became an influencer she'd specialize in travel, financial advice, and social etiquette for different situations.

Childhood

• Did not have an imaginary friend as a child. Sometimes wishes she did as engaging in the escapism might have helped but also there's trauma in losing imaginary friends as an adult that she didn't have to go through.




• A few people tried to bully her/her siblings but she's always stood up to them and made it very clear that if they were going to fuck around she'd make sure they found out in a very violent way.

Pre ARR

• Before the events of A Realm Reborn happened Morgana was a merchant in Ul'dah trying to make her way. She had some connections and was doing well for herself and helping out on the side as an adventurer when things were slow before being dragged into the Scions' business.




• What triggered her leaving home to become a merchant was seeking something better for herself. Becoming an adventurer was a win-win because either she'd strike it rich or die and at that time either option was fine by her.
