BASICS.
Name: Morgana Seraphina Llewellyn Elle Gwendolyn Pendragon
Nickname / Alias: Morgan, Mo
Age: 20
Gender: Female
PERSONALITY.
General Personality:
Morgan, at first, is serious, formal, polite and cautious. She is always friendly and caring, but as she gets to know someone, she becomes more so. She is a happy person who is content and comfortable with who she is and generally what she’s about. She is serious about teaching, and wants her students to do well.
She is fairly clingy with friends, fearing rejection and loneliness. Her greatest fear is the fear of being unloved, although she also is skittish around insects, especially roaches. She despises people she perceives as trust-breakers. She cannot stand liars in the least, and considers secrecy to be almost as bad. She is sometimes impatient with others, and loathes surprises (she loves habit and routine, however, and is highly predictable).
The truth is, she holds everyone to the same high standards of behavior to which she holds herself. And she is deeply disappointed when they don't measure up. Including her. Many times, her own expectations of herself have caused her anguish. She has often been truly disappointed in her own lack of perfection.
She has a deep and abiding interest in reading everything she can get her hands on, especially history books, and herbology, for which she has a special passion. She is a good flier, and when she was younger, was a beater and Quidditch captain for Ravenclaw’s house team. Other interests of hers are animals (both magical and mundane), the healing arts, and magical theory.
Her skill in magic is high and she is a competent witch. She excels at casting illusions and doing wandless work. She enjoys herbology and CoMC. She is fairly good at potions, though it is not what she would consider one of her strengths; she merely finds it easy to follow the directions presented. As a special gift, she is skilled at working with animals, especially snakes. She is a Parselmouth and has the ability to communicate with animals somewhat. However, transfiguration is by far her worst subject.
APPEARANCE.
Hair Color / Style: Platinum blonde, medium length
Eye Color: Red-Amber
Ethnicity: Welsh
Prominent Features: Morgan is really tall, like 5' 10", with a very toned physique. She also has an artificial silver leg.
Other:
The first thing people usually note about Morgan is not her platinum blond hair nor her amber eyes. The first thing most people notice is how tall she is. She has always been tall for her age. The impression of height is made even more conspicuous by how thin she is. Morgan has few curves to speak of, having an elegant, long-limbed form that in her teen years was admittedly quite lanky. This is not to say that she is without curves entirely, but her figure is not as voluptuous as her sister‘s.
Her clothing style is in constant flux, since she enjoys experimenting with fashions, especially muggle fashions, although her sense of style is never exactly 'modern'. She is a dab hand at household spells like stitching, mending or embroidery, but she can also handle sewing the muggle way. She does, however, often dress in shades of blue, not only because it is the color of her former house, but also because she feels it sets her natural coloring off nicely. She also loves the color green, which is her favorite.
Her face is framed by long, platinum blond hair that sometimes looks stark white in certain light. Her complexion is medium, being neither exceptionally pale nor tanned. She spends a fair amount of time out of doors, and has kept up some of her exercises from her time playing professional quidditch, so she is very toned, although not muscular. Her features are refined, and very pretty. Her mouth is full, under a straight nose that is, perhaps, just a shade long. Her eyes are wide, and are a reddish amber in color. Her cheekbones are high, and her brows are well arched. She seldom wears makeup of any kind, because she feels it's a waste of time.

HISTORY.
General:
Morgana Seraphina Gwendolyn Elle Lyllywen Pendragon is the first-born child of Nigel and Morticia Pendragon. Her father works for the ministry of magic in the U.K. as an ambassador to Spain and her mother spends most of her time studying anything she can about her ancestress, Morgana Lefaye.
The early years of Morgan's life were spent mostly in the company of her nanny and her twin sister, but it was clear early on that although Morgan was the older child, Gwyn was clearly preferred by their mother, perhaps because Gwyn bore such a striking resemblance to her. Upon Gwyn and Morgan's sixth birthday, Morticia decided that the time had come for Morgan to begin learning the 'family' magic handed down from mother to eldest daughter for centuries.
For the first few years of her home schooling, Morgan and her sister learned history and theory, practiced potion-making and watched demonstrations by their mother as neither had a wand yet. Upon the girls' eleventh birthday, both were taken to get wands, Morgan's first wand was an eleven inch white ash wand with a core of dryad hair, good for charms and healing spells. For the next two years, Morgan continued to be home-schooled with her sister. After an incident during one of her mother's lessons, when her sister 'accidentally' used sectumsempra on Morgan while her back was turned, Morgan elected to attend FFU to research her entire family history in an attempt to locate the Holy Grail, however, since she began her schooling, many events have conspired to distract her from this goal, and she has now all but forgotten it entirely.
After arriving at Firefox, she experienced a minor breakdown following the death of some of her friends in the Shadow War, but rose out of it to eventually become her house's prefect, and the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team, where she played in the position of beater. She then proceeded to have a fairly normal time at school, making friends and falling for boys. After ending her long-term relationship with Malachy, she became very despondent and depressed. She ultimately decided to take her own life by intentionally crashing her broom into the ground. Fortunately, the attempt was failed, although it did cause her many serious injuries and a broken wand.
She pulled though her injuries, pulling herself together emotionally and mentally as well as physically. By the time the next term started, Morgan was a much more confident person, more comfortable with herself and less demanding of herself and others.
During her seventh year, Morgan got a few offers from various professional and semi-professional quidditch teams, and decided to accept the offer from the Welsh Dragons, Morgan's favorite team. After she left school, Morticia was outraged and disowned her daughter, cutting her off from the family funds, and making it clear to Morgan that she was no longer welcome. During Morgan's second quidditch game, however, she was involved in an accident in which she lost her left leg. She now wears a prosthetic silver leg. Having nowhere else to go, she returned to Spain after being released from the hospital.

(optional)
Morgan has a magical leather satchel which she carries almost everywhere. It's enchanted to hold exactly one hundred items, no matter the size. It can be worked around, as six pencils would count as six items, but a box of pencils counts as one item. This has caused Morgan to be even more hyper-organized.
