• Appearance

  Artwork In Progress
  
  Face: A semi-strong jaw and pale skin without any hint of pink to her cheeks, as if lacking warmth. Her eyes are almond shaped, with long dark lashes and strong brows. Her nose is long and straight, just barely creating a hook.
  
  Eyes: like all Witchers, she has the golden eyes of a cat. Often times they appear more cold then necessary. When in combat, the pupils will dilate to reflect this, becoming thin and sharp.
  
  Hair: a deep, reddish brown in color. Her hair is long and swept to one side, almost completely straight. Often times she tries to keep it contained in a bun, or even a high ponytail.
  
  Body: Tall and curvy, Morganna holds the body of a warrior. She is not small or dainty, and is considerably muscular due to her work. Her hips and bust are wide, as well as her shoulders. While she is no beauty to the average man, it cannot be denied that she posses some form of attractiveness. That also, however, means she is more respected among cultures such as Skellige rather than cultures such as Novigrad.
  
  Complexion: there are plenty of scars on her hands and other features, but Morganna has no freckles or moles. Her pale skin would have been perfect, if not for the permanent damage from battle.
  
  Outfit: Her armor is lighter than most Witcher gear, due to being in the Griffin school. It is simple and non-revealing. Fit for an actual soldier.

• Personality

  Likes: Nature, spring and fall, animals, culture, monsters, reading, science, magic, note taking, and travel. Morganna is most often found outside and alone, as she spends more of her time with creatures then people. She is quite the fan of crude humor.
  
  Dislikes: The city, people, the church, religion, prophecy and legend, lies, denial, and numerous other little things. Morganna believes in the truth first, and justice above all. She does not, in any way, believe in fate or destiny. Only coincidence and actuality.
  
  Fears: Fire (personal reasons), emptiness (the feeling of nothing), and the void (the idea of nothing after death). She's strongly attached to her believes, and therefore can be very difficult to persuade, no matter how reasonable.
  
  Personality: Morganna is a strong willed, realistic and practical woman with a love for life and nature itself. Most of all, the strives to learn about the world and the creatures inside it, not only to protect humanity, but the natural monsters of the world as well (a strong opinion from a Witcher) she is independent, stubborn, thoughtful, and intuitive of the world around her. While kind hearted and friendly, she's a fairly solitary person, and prefers animals for company rather than people. She is a naturally pessimistic and sarcastic woman, with a love for dark humor.
  
  Mannerisms: Approachable, intelligent, open and casual, jesting, often appears calm and disinterested. She does not often care about her outwards appearance, as so many years alive has only proved that prejudice will always remain. Morganna simply ignores most jibes directed towards her.
  
  Hobbies/Interests: Her most common interest is testing and documenting bestiaries, to better understand monsters of the world. But these hobbies can extend to alchemy and smithing as well. And, of course, she enjoys training. While drinking is not part of her prerogative, it's not unknown to her.
  
  Strengths: The Griffin School of Witchers masters in magic rather than swords. Morganna uses a thinner blade than most Witcher's enhanced with magic. The other hand is used for creating signs such as Igni to produce flames and other magical abilities in combat. But most of all, the Griffin School masters intelligence, and a deeper understanding of combat and the enemy.
  
  Weaknesses: Morganna is incredibly stubborn and strong willed, meaning she will never back down from an argument, no matter the reason. She is, in a way, too independent, and doesn't always work well in groups. Lastly, she tends to lean on magic more so than her sword, a dangerous situation to have. In all, her weaknesses add up to create a prideful and brash warrior.
  
  Personal Preferences: She prefers the company of animals, being alone, working outside or under her home instead of in town, and prefers being within reach of a pen or quill at any moment.
  
  Relationship Preferences: Morganna tends to enjoy the company of men more than women, merely due to the fact that she was surrounded by them, and knows very little on how to connect to females that don't adorn armor. She prefers thoughtful and open-mindedness, as well as a strong will. Relationship wise, she was never wanted anything serious, nor has she expected it. And the life of a Witcher has taught her to rely on no one.
  
  Major Ideals: She hates religion. Period. In her mind, it is nothing more than lies we tell ourselves to sleep at night. She wishes to understand the world with science and logic, not fairy tales. Furthermore, she believes religion only spreads superstition. Her opinion is not a popular one, naturally.
  
  Quirks/Strange Behaviors: She has a tendency to bit her lip when frustrated, as well as to openly stare at others when intrigued. Often times, you can hear her laughing to herself, or even growling out of anger.

• Additional Notes

  *It is unmentioned whether or not Morganna holds hatred for her parents. Despite being traded like property to the Witchers, it seems she was too young to form much of an opinion on the incident.
  
  * She tends to enjoy Dwarves, oddly enough, as their honest and almost brutish ways are refreshing to the lies of nobility and other unsavory folk.
  
  * Morganna specializes in magic more than swords, particularly offensive runes.
  
  * She is fluent in many languages and texts, and writes books under numerous different sources, as to protect her identity from nobles who refuse to read from the work of a Witcher.
  
  * Morganna can be incredibly offensive with her humor at times, as she tends to find racism and other jokes to be witty.
  
  * It has been noted that, despite her incredible intellect, she is awful at Chess. This can lead to a battle of cheating rather than wits.
  
  * Morganna has never met any of the main characters of the Witcher series. She has, however, met a good friend of Vesemir's through the Griffin school, and is well aware of Geralt's existence.
  
  * She is incredibly smitten with Roche, the commander of the Blue Stripes, and finds him to the be epitomy of what a man should be.

• Backstory

  Born to a well rounded family of Temeria, Morganna had an overall easy going and mundane childhood. It wasn't until a beast began to stalk the woods of their village that her life changed for the worse. A Fiend had found a cave to call home within the forest, often times feeding on ignorant hunters and children who explored. For fear of the beast becoming more curious, many families within the village requested the aid of a Witcher, despite their small collection of coin.
  
  Once the beast was slain, and the village out of harm's way, it was clear that the peasants were short in their payment. While the average Witcher would have slaughtered the village out of spite, this particular member of the Griffin school had another idea, one of tradition. He demanded that they offer one of their children to the school for training. And in turn, their debt would be diminished.
  
  With Morganna being the only child of available age, she was naturally thrown into their hands. Naturally, the Witcher denounced this plan quickly, as a female child would do him no good. But with no other options, he eventually succumbed to accepting the exchange, and had soon named Morganna as his pity gift.
  
  Because she was treated as a nuisance to the patriarchy of the Witchers, much of her training was a joke. While her every day activities were as gruesome as any man's, Morganna was set to fail with every challenge. Compared to the young boys who stood beside her she was a lost cause, and rarely received more than a glass from her predecessors. Convinced that she'd die before even attempting the Trial of Grasses, many of the more experienced warriors argued that her premature death might have been the more merciful option. But despite this shared opinion, the Witcher himself who had plucked her from the village years before was adamant in keeping her safe. In his mind, a female Witcher was a small gift of curiosity. There was no denying that she could bring a unique mindset and less hostile view for the school.
  
  And so, allowed to continue her life among the Witchers, Morganna continued. Her presence gave way to the murder of two comrades, and the death of another, all due to a disdain for her existence. Despite this, time did not slow her track towards the life of a Witcher, and at a mere age of 17, she was on her way to change the very system in which they lived.
