Morigan of Eire Amazon Witch
Alovasuri Archila (Cavalry Leader)
Iktibi
Gunika (Herbswoman)
Protector
of the Light Daughter
of Mavican of Eire Sister to Venlusia
Morigan was born in a costal village in Eire where she lived till the tender age of thirteen. Her mother, Mavican, was a natural witch and healer and she taught everything she knew to Morigan about herbs and healing, including some witchcraft. Her father, however, was a Viking warlord. He had kidnapped Mavican to sell her as a slave but they fell in love and married. They moved to Eire to live by the sea in Mavican's hometown, and he became a fisherman. Morigan remembers her father would take her on his fishing boat and tell her stories of his days as a Viking warrior. Morigan was a beautiful child with her strawberry-blonde hair and blue-green eyes. Her mother noticed something odd about the girl, something she recognized in herself. Frequently, the child mentioned a happening before it came to pass. She had inherited Mavican's power of premonitions. On one beautiful summer day, Morigan played in a nearby forest. She loved to pretend that she was a warrior fighting for justice like in her father's stories of Beowulf. That day would be different, though. A sudden overwhelming sense of dread rose up within her. In Morigan's panic, she headed for home. As she approached her village, screams of agonizing pain and clashing weapons made her feeling of fear turn into reality. She ran towards her village only to be caught by her arms just on the border of her village and the forest. Morigan struggled as she watched Roman soldiers destroy everything she knew. Her mother's bloodied corpse was on the ground. Morigan fell to her knees tears streaming down her face. That is where William, her father's comrade, found Morigan. Comforting her, he told her what was to come. "Your mother asked me to take you to your Aunt in Greece if anything should happen. Come, Morigan. Come, let's go before it's too late." Months went by before the two arrived in Greece. William sent a message to Morigan's Aunt. They arrived and the Aunt greeted them both and mourned her sister's death. She had moved from Eire to Greece to fight for the freedom of women with the Greek Amazons. It was there that Morigan found her new family. Morigan made many new friends within the Sisterhood. She learned to use the sais and staff, quickly adapting to the ways of the Amazons. In time, she began to travel to far lands, eager to know more of the world. Her travels took her far, even to the land of Chin.At the end of each journey, Morigan returned to the land of the Amazons, ready to begin again. Every time, she vowed would be different. She would remain longer, join in more, be more a part of Amazon life. Every time, her restless nature forced her to leave the village. This time, the many tribes of Amazons had gathered to unite. And several of the stronger, bigger tribes lived in the same lands- Themiscyra.Freedom was worth any price, to Morigan. Little did she know that the warrior women fought for more than just freedom- they fought for each other. Morigan rides Artaine, a gift from the Latra of Themiscyra. She also has a horse named Echo. Her totem is the dragon. Her favored weapons are the sais, the sword and the bow. She shared a hut with Venlusia. She speaks the language of her homeland, Celtic.
