Mah Prints Contest Journal Character name meme - pinched from
1) how you thought of their name
2) what made you create the character in the first place
3) how the character has changed over time (if they have changed)
4) any random fun fact about that character
I'm going to do Moragan, since she's my fave OC
1) When i first started designing her, i actually came up with her surname, McAbre first and wanted something that matched. I didn't want to name her Morgan or Morgana but something similar. So i just shoved an extra vowel in Morgan and low and behold,
MoraganTurns out;
"The Morrígan ("terror" or "phantom queen") or Mórrígan ("great queen") (also known as Morrígu, Morríghan, Mor-Ríoghain, sometimes given in the plural as Morrígna) is a figure from Irish mythology who appears to have once been a goddess. She is associated with sovereignty, prophecy, war and death on the battlefield." Pretty interesting
2) I had the idea for a shadow mancer for a long time. This image of a strong willed, seductive character with a dark and vulnerable past was one i'd been wanting to get onto paper for a while, but never really had the incentive, untill *
MissDarkShiva's Zenshi Tournament that is. Finally, i was able to grace Morg onto paper and in the past year she's come a long way.
I've been so happy with the response to Morg and she seems to be getting a little fan-base going
3) Morg has changed in many ways.
Physically, she's gone from slightly scantily clad to very scantily clad with no arm. The physical changes have come unexpectedly through her story in Zenshi and i need to thank people like *
Atotori-thraze, *
cocowoushi and *
noenvy for that, as they've enhanced her personality and also aided to her overall story.
Mentally, Morg was a recluse, with a cold and hated attitude towards others, but because of her time Zenshi, she has learnt to open up towards others. However thanks to
Yami's Parasite, Morg has found she has become some what more aggressive in her nature.
To put it simply, Morg has gone from:
This -->
<-- to this -->
<-- in the space of a year
4) Random facts:
*Morg's colour scheme was originally going to be purple, but after experimenting in photoshoop, it became her trademark emerald green.
*The Skulpies that follow her were a surprising success with watchers. They were originally meant to be the effects of her spells, but when people started commenting on how cute and awesome they were, they became just as important as she.
*When first designing her, the Persian influences on the head-dress and outfit were a subconscious discission and since then have become an important factor in her story arch, centering her past around Arabian and Persian mythology.
