Morrigan Blackthorne

From Absit Omen Lexicon

Morrigan has many good qualities to her name: dedicated, hard-working, stylish, and friendly. There are also some traits she is not so proud of such as a terrible temper and her over-eagerness to be helpful and make friends. Some call it desperation, others just think she's annoying. But Morrigan is always, always sincere about what she says and does. She is girlie and yet also takes some time to roll around in the mud when the need arises.

Personality

Being a girl isn't always fun, in her way of thinking. She really enjoys playing with dolls, dressing up, and reading the latest issues of magazines for tips on beauty, health, and home... (and it's not easy to do it in a house full of people who play Dungeons & Dragons then wander around Diagon Alley to get some ice cream) But every once in a while, the appeal of digging around in the dirt and smelling the grass becomes overwhelming to her. She can't be a tomboy because she really is such a girl yet Morrigan gets an urge to join in on boy fun. Such are the problems of a heart torn in two.

She is highly persistent and helpful, too. The youngest of four children, she somehow got it in her head that she was a burden on her family (not that they ever thought that) and she quickly caught on to being a little more mature than they had expected. She followed in her older sisters' footsteps and grew confident in who she was. She is not a unique snowflake by any means; an average girl with not-so-average problems (alas! the need for a G.I. Joe!), but there are times when she can be a real handful. Her sassy nature can be entertaining. It's the sudden short bursts of a foul temper that can be hard for someone to handle.

History

Morrigan was the only child of the Blackthorne's to be born on English soil and she was such named for her ancestor, the first Blackthorne. All her siblings were born in America. Her older sister Serenity grew up in Britain which meant that Morrigan was not the only one speaking with an accent. From an early age, she spent countless hours with her sister Serenity because the older siblings, Angerona, Fionnuala, and Romaine, were at Hogwarts. Their father took good care of them, often spoiling them with love and affection.

Serenity had a shadow from the moment Morrigan learned to walk. She tagged along behind her sister and went everywhere with her, copying and learning. Video games never really suit Morrigan's taste. She was too interested in the pretty girls in magazines to bother with watching a plumber hop around beating up odd turtles. Sometimes, she would sneak into her mother's room while she was away and pamper herself with make-up or try on her mother's dresses. Her father and Serenity got several good laughs out of it. Then the letter came and Serenity, too, was whisked off to Hogwarts.

It was only for a year. But that year changed a lot for Morrigan. She didn't have anyone to invite to her tea parties or giggle with her about their father's loud snoring. It was just her and her dad. He didn't know what to do with Morrigan; she was too girlie. They played Aurors and Azzies every once in a while. They were both shocked when she discovered how much she liked mud and dirt. During her year of individual growth out from under her sister's shadow, Morrigan started a garden. This invited gnomes into their yard and Romulus laughed whenever his daughter frantically scrambled around the back yard tackling them, screaming, "STAY OUTTA MY FLOWERS!" Then, her Hogwarts letter came and she went to Hogwarts.
