Morvoren Morgan

Appearance
Morvoren is a tall elven woman with a long green curly mane of hair that reaches her waist. It is cut choppily, appearing as if chunks had been cut off at some point. Her left eye is a light blue. There are normally purplish shadows around them. Her right eye is covered by a black eyepatch. Underneath, the sclera is pure white, and there are black veins coming from it, the sign that an inflict wounds had once been cast there. Morvoren has teal skin, normally with a slight flush of colour across her nose, cheeks shoulders and arms. Though recently she is paler than she has ever been. She has slowly been regaining this tan, however it is still not as dark as it used to be due to the winter and not being on the ocean.

She typically wears a white poet shirt tucked into her leather pants, paired with long over the knee boots. She has long elbow length gloves, and a belt which typically sports a cutlass on one side and her pistol on the other. She has a pouch filled with pearls, for while she may not be rich in gold, she is rich in pearls.

Hidden beneath her clothing, is a small stump of a tail that never fully developed. Her canine teeth are slightly sharpened, appearing as small fangs.

In her Tiger form she appears as a large, white tiger with a slight icy blue tint to her fur if caught in the right lighting. Her eyes are the same colours. In this form she has a full tail.

Personality
Morvoren has a flair for the dramatic. She is charismatic, theatrical, and frequently a magnet for attention, for good and bad. She can be viewed as overly dramatic at times.

Morvoren struggles with accepting the help of others, instead frequently diving headfirst into dangerous situations under the guise of protecting someone else. She has always been protective of those she cares about, most notably her younger brother Myrrin, her wife Helena and adopted stowaway Pasha. However her belief that she is unworthy of love and support has transformed her protective nature into recklessness.

Despite being a condemned criminal and a pirate, she is loved by the majority of the public within the port towns she often visited.

Although Morvoren often attempts to maintain a guise of bravado, this air of confidence is shattered with almost comical ease whenever she is shown genuine affections. She is easily flustered in romantic instances.

Magic
Morvorens magic appears in various shades of blues and greens, and reflects back the colours of her surroundings. It appears as water. Her inflict wounds look as if a green poison is spreading from her touch, turning the veins a murky green, as the skin in the area starts to dehydrate itself.

Backstory
Morvoren was born east to a tiefling pirate couple. At a young age, she and her unidentical twin brother Merryassek were raised aboard ‘The Abalone Pearl’ and were taught from a young age how to run the ship, and all the different jobs aboard the ship. It was expected that one of them would take over when their parents either died or retired. Merryassek, like his parents, was a blue skinned tiefling and it was originally thought that Morvoren was one as well, and that she’d just been born with a tail deformity.

The twins rarely stepped food on land, except when they stopped to get supplies. Usually this would lead them to exploring the harbour towns and ports, though they never strayed too far from the coast. They were close when they were young, and were each other's best friends.

The Abalone Pearl, filled more of a Robin Hood-esque role, stealing from other ships and giving the money to various orphanages around, keeping only what they needed. This had been their way for generations, and the Morgan Pirates were famous amongst the pirate world. Meadhra Morgan, their father was a well known name. Praised amongst some, cursed at by others.

When they were five, there was a great storm, and Morvoren was swept overboard. At first she was terrified, trying her best to not drown, while the crew tried to get her out as quick as possible. She soon went under, scared, but this was how she discovered that she could breathe. She could breathe underwater! Eventually they managed to get her back on bored, and she excitedly told her parents before they took her inside to dry off.

This is how they discovered that unlike them, she was not a tiefling. The tiefling genetics from both sides had apparently skipped her. It explained why she had never grown horns, and her tail never fully developed… It explained a lot.

They were only ten when their mother passed, and Merry took it harder than Mor, who had always been closer to their dad. This was probably when Merrys onlook of life started changing, as he realised how unfair everything was. This was the first in a long line of things that Morvoren would win over.

When they reached their early twenties, their father passed. Morvoren was voted the new Captain, and Merryasek her First Mate. (Yet another thing she had one over him.) She was happy, and they sailed together for the following years, their fathers crew as their own.

One day while docked, they took the night to celebrate when their birthdays were coming up. Merry had found himself having an appointment with ‘The Siren of Silk’ and when he returned after, he was raving her praises. Morvoren decided to have a go, even though he hadn't really been one for visiting courtesans before, and that was how she first met the woman who would soon become her wife.

Their first meeting, Morvoren tripped over a rug, falling on the floor laughing at herself.

“Falling for me already?” she was asked, before being offered a hand.

“How could I not fall for you Ma’am.” She laughed, accepting the hand up.

And from there, the two would regularly meet for appointments, and eventually, Morvoren asked Helena to run away with her. And Helena did.

The two were married on the high seas, and were happy.

Until the mutiny.

Merryasek had grown resentful from his sister getting everything he wanted, more time with her favourite parent, the captain title, the woman he loved, and he came up with a plot to get her out of the way.

He arranged for Morvoren to be caught, and arrested - though she didn’t go without a fight, killing a few guards in her attempt of an escape. She looked on as her brother watched, making no move to try and free her, and she knew that he had done this.

She was sentenced to be hanged, and when it was her turn, a mysterious stranger cut her rope, grabbing onto her and leaving her on a ship unconscious. The ship was in the midst of a storm, and nobody noticed the unconscious woman, as she was swept overboard, eventually, washing up on the shores of a beach. Alive solely due to her natural ability to breathe underwater.

When she awoke… she had no memories of the last five years, everything remaining in a dull haze, like a dream. But perhaps most peculiar of all.. Was that all of her belongings she had had on her when arrested, was washed up with her.

Trivia

 * Morvoren is ambidextrous, but favours her right hand for spell casting and writing. She will only shoot with her left hand, finding her aim is more accurate with that.
 * She refuses to eat seafood. Fish are friends, not food.
 * She still wears a wedding ring, because it feels wrong whenever she takes it off.
