Morgana
Morgana, also known as Morgan le Fay, is a powerful sorceress in the legends of King Arthur. She is often described as a healer, a witch, or a fairy, depending on the story. She is sometimes Arthur’s half-sister and has a complicated relationship with him and his knights.
Morgana was a student of Merlin, learning magic and spells. In some stories, she uses her powers for good, while in others, she betrays Arthur and tries to destroy Camelot. She is often seen as an enemy of the Round Table, but in some legends, she is also one of the women who take Arthur to Avalon after his final battle.
Her character is mysterious—sometimes a villain, sometimes a protector, but always a powerful figure in Arthurian legend.
