The Morrigan - DawnOTheShed Art

Hymne à Morrigana 

Un hymne druidique à la gloire de la Déesse Gardienne des Dynamiques et de la Guerre, patronne des Gardiens de la Voie Rouge. 

Morrigan, Guerrière au masque rouge,

Morrigan, Danseuse aux voiles noirs,

Morrigan, toi qui ondule et bouge,

Morrigan, toi qui tranche jusqu’à l’espoir, 

Dame noire aux corneilles,

Dame rouge aux épées,

Sur les Gardiens tu veilles,

Poussant le courage à son acmé. 

Fil rouge qui court par le pays,

Flux rouge qui nous nourrit,

Ton cri nous révulse,

Ton énergie nous propulse. 

Morrigan, fille de la Reine,

Morrigan, combat pour la Souveraine,

Tourbillon sanglant irrépressible,

Tu prends la peur pour cible. 

Reçois ces offrandes, ces présents,

Vois la flamme de nos cœurs ardents,

Entends la vibration de nos chants, 

En retour, danse au rythme de notre sang,

Soutiens en nous le courage du combattant,

Traverse-nous du cri sauvage du vivant ! 

Frappe le tambour de la terre de ton pas,

Frappe l’onde de ton chant du trépas,

Frappe nos cœurs du tranchant de ton éclat ! 

Brûlure intense,

De celle qui danse, 

Vibration sauvage,

Des corps en nage, 

Morrigana,

Honneur à toi ! 

The Morrigan

A Hymn To Morrigana

A druidic hymn to the glory of the Guardian Goddess of Dynamics and War, patroness of the Guardians of the Red Way.

Morrigan, Warrior in the Red Mask,

Morrigan, Dancer with black veils,

Morrigan, you who undulate and move,

Morrigan, you who slice until hope,

Black lady with crows,

Red lady with swords,

Over the Guardians you watch,

Pushing courage to its acme.

Red thread that runs through the country,

Red stream that feeds us,

Your cry revolts us,

Your energy propels us.

Morrigan, daughter of the Queen,

Morrigan, fight for the Sovereign,

Irrepressible bloody whirlwind,

You target fear.

Receive these offerings, these presents,

See the flame of our ardent hearts,

Hear the vibration of our songs,

In return, dance to the rhythm of our blood,

Sustain in us the courage of the fighter,

Cross us with the wild cry of the living!

Strike the drum of the earth with your step,

Strike the wave of your song of death,

Strike our hearts with the edge of your brilliance!

Intense burning,

Of the one who dances,

wild vibe,

swimming bodies,

Morrigana,

Me: OHMYGOD I LOVE HIM

Morrigana and Jestro host game nights with the monsters who can play. It normally ends with Morrigana sitting in the middle of chaos and wondering when she became the mom of the group

MOM FRIEND MORRI MOM FRIEND MORRI MOM FRIEND MORRI

Ok so she started out as Jestro's motherly older sister figure but as time went by she just... naturally became the mom friend

She's got major momma bear instincts, she protects the others without even realizing it

She doesn't like being idle after being stuck in the empty portal world place for so long

(More of a Jestro hc but) Jestro is actually really flexible and is an amazing dancer when they're confident so Morrigana's always trying to keep them confident in their abilities

On that note, my Jestro is nonbinary because 1) I thought they were a girl at first and 2) they just.... give off nonbinary vibes. Like idk how to explain it Jestro just gives me major nonbinary vibes.

Back to Morrigana, the others often compare her to a vampire bat. She's nocturnal, likes to hang upside down, and loves pretending to suck the juice out of fruits.

Ok one last little Jestro hc it's more of an AU actually anyway I have this little idea that Jestro is part Fae. I was actually designing like, a whole fanfic/season around this but ultimately trashed it.

Morrigana just constantly has this "so tired of literally everything" expression on her face, and acts really aloof and uncaring but is secretly soft.

She's demi ace

Morrigana has a veil on her hat as a symbol of the fact that she feels separate from the world.

She's really old fashioned with some things and is still adjusting to the modern world

She still doesn't trust technology and can and will destroy it given the chance. It just... doesn't belong in her mind.

Meet Morrigana!

She’s currently still a bit of a WIP, but once she’s done she’ll be a Nexo Knights OC.

BACKSTORY

(I’m actually terrified because I’m afraid people will hate her backstory, but hopefully not???)

Morrigana Umbrum is Monstrox’s daughter from the past. Her father conceived her with another powerful sorceress before he became evil. At the beginning of her life, Morrigana was greatly loved by both her parents. However, after her father’s descent into darkness (she was around 13 at this time), Monstrox manipulated her into joining his side, as he knew she had great magical potential. Morrigana became his “right hand man”, exchanging lessons in using her power for using said power for his plans. She soon realized what she was doing was wrong, but by this time was pretty much dependent on Monstrox. Morrigana grew to loath her father and her powers, associating both of them with great evil.

While Monstrox’s troops were destroyed by others, Monstrox frantically searched for a way to save his daughter. He still had a bit of good left in his heart, and didn’t want his daughter to die because of his crimes. He found a spell that allowed him to open a portal to a kind of “in between” realm where Morrigana would be safe and sent his daughter there. In the realm, Morrigana was essentially put into a coma. She was unconcise, but still able to think. While she was there, she thought over everything that had happened to her. She hated her father for his actions, and began to formulate a plan of her own. Once she escaped, she would take the kingdom for herself and use its resources to punish Monstrox. She would rule, and he would be at her mercy. She would get revenge for his manipulation.

(I have not finished s3 nor have I begun s4, so until I watch more her story will only reach that far)

Fast forward, and Monstrox has been defeated only to come back as a cloud. With his and Jestro’s new powers, he is able to bring back Morrigana. Monstrox never forgot his daughter, and had been preparing to bring her back for much time. Now that he has the ability to revive stone, and Jestro the Forbidden Powers, he is able to open the portal using the stone arch he first used. Morrigana awoke from her coma when the portal opened, and entered Knighton again. She acted as if she was extremely grateful for this, and “pledged her loyalty” to Monstrox. Now, Morrigana works with her father and Jestro, biding her time until she can turn on Monstrox and take the kingdom for herself.

RELATIONSHIPS

Morrigana is closest with Jestro. She knows what her father is capable of, and feels great sorrow for the poor jester, wishing that he had never met Monstrox. She sees Jestro as a younger brother, and does her best to protect him from her father. The two often play games or do activities together when they are not following her father’s orders.

Monstrox and Morrigana have a... strained relationship. Morrigana loathes her father for his manipulation, but acts the part of the loving daughter. Monstrox still holds a fondness for his daughter, but also knows what a powerful weapon she is. Thus, the two tend to dance around each other, each acting their part.

Morrigana likes the knights for one reason only: they are a great help when it comes to defeating her father. Otherwise, she doesn’t really spare them a second thought. To her, their “goodness” makes them weak, and she believes she will be able to easily defeat them when the time comes.

ABILITIES

Morrigana is able to use magic with the help of her staff (whose design I am working on) or her grimoire. Both allow her to concentrate her power to cast spells. Morrigana is best at illusions, although she also had a bit of necromancy added after her lessons with her father. Morrigana enjoys using herbs or crystals to strengthen her spells, and when she casts a big one will twine herbs around her staff to counteract the fatigue it will cause. Her staff has special holes engraved in it for crystals, and she changes them out when the crystal’s abilities are dulled. 

Morrigana’s grimoire contains spells from members of her family reaching as far back as the beginning. Magic is woven into its pages, allowing her to cast minor spells with it alone.
