Name/Alias: Amelia Saunders (defunct); Lady Morgan of the Faerie Court (often referred to as "Duchess" or "Morgaine")
Gender: F.
Age: Appears around 13. Actually presumed to be in her mid-to-late thirties.
Appearance: Morgaine.
Species: Superhuman.
Backstory: The story of the Lady of the Faerie Court begins as all stories do; with a young girl. A young girl named Amelia Saunders. Amelia grew up hearing all sorts of wonderful fairy tales; adventurers who met princesses, or prince charmings and their victories. But Amelia's favorite stories were those of the fairies, of the Fae, of the mystical and magical world. Amelia would sometimes catch glimpses of real fairies or Fae, and would always tell her mommy of such things. But her parents never believed her.
Amelia, one day, wished to capture a Fae for herself; to understand them even better than her Sight allowed her to. And so, one day, she did. Amelia took the hand of the Faerie's host, and took the Faerie for herself. She was most pleased when the Faerie thanked her, and asked for her name. Thinking back on it, she decided that she should be a ruler; one in control of the Fae, of herself, and most importantly, she was going to be strong.
She thought back to the stories of the enchantress Morgan le Fay, and how Morgan worked with Faeries or Fairies in many of the tales. And so, on that day, Amelia introduced herself to the Fae under her command as Lady Morgan of the Faerie Court. The Fae had respectfully bowed and smiled. Amelia was no more; this began her story as that of Morgaine, the Duchess, the Lady of the Faerie Court.
Morgan began to travel from place to place; collecting Fae, or at least the Fae she could collect, and bringing them under her rule. Many normal people began to show fear at her appearance, as she became more well known; especially those who held Fae captive for their gifts, or otherwise misused their Fae for tedious things. Morgan did not mind this, as she was the Lady of the Faerie Court; it was only natural that people show her reverence and fear. Morgan continued collecting Fae, only stopping after her identity was found out and revealed.
Morgan remembered Amelia's parents, then, and when she found out that they had been killed by Faerie hosts in petty vengeance, she decided she did not want to liberate the rogue Fae who helped them. And so, when she found those responsible, they suffered and died. And then, upon their deaths, the Fae they had were vanquished as well; vanishing, with no trace. That satisfied Morgan's bloodlust, for the moment.
After that day, Morgan ceased her collecting; deciding that she would leave it up to her Court to decide. While she could only have three of her Court under her use at any given time, she could hear all of them in her mind - for the most part. Of course, sometimes it was difficult, because there were so many; so usually, the Court deliberated, and the three Fae she had active would inform her of the Court's decision or suggestion.
Morgan continues to travel around; and while she hasn't collected a Faerie in quite a while, she is often feared by many because of her very nature.
While Morgan's sanity is questioned, secretly, all of this is a ruse she puts up; it is a ruse she puts up because she wants people to believe her to be insane, when in reality, she only cares about having more power, and collecting her "Fae."
Powers and Abilities:
Weaknesses and Limitations:
Standard Equipment: Carries a staff.
Is your character original?: Yes. Powers are kinda-stolen, and the concept is also borrowed, but I tried to make it as original as possible.
Optional stuff.
Theme song: N/A.
Random Facts about your character: Morgan hates being called Amelia, or being reminded of her past in any fashion - especially nowadays. Not actually insane, just plays the role that people believe her to be involved with.

Powers and Abilities:
- Main Powers:
- Power Sight: Morgan can "see" powers, and hear/communicate with them. Of course, while these are simply her brain's way of processing her power, it isn't any genuine mental effect; other than allowing her to give a name to the powers she's "seeing" and such.
- Power Theft/Absorption: Morgan can steal/absorb powers, with a touch. In all cases, the powers must be natural. From her point of view, she's simply taking the person's Fae and adding that Fae to the Court she has. This can sometimes be lethal to the person she's stealing powers from, depending on the nature of the powers involved.
- Power Replication: Morgan can replicate/copy powers she's stolen/absorbed to perfection, and use them herself. But she can only use three at once, and when she uses them, she creates illusions of the people they used to belong to; she calls these illusions "Fae" or "ghosts" at variable intervals, as this is how her mind understands what is happening.
- Notable Stolen Powers:
- Teleportation (Various): During her career, Morgan has liberated a number of Faeries associated with teleporting; as such, depending on which version of teleportation she's using,
she can teleport in various means. Of course, most of them involve either line of sight or memory bases, and only one lets her teleport anywhere she wants as long as she has a general idea of where she's going to.- Healing (Various): Morgan has also run into her fair share of healers, the primary being those who use some form of biokinesis to heal themselves or others. She can use her healing Faeries to heal herself or others, depending on which healing Fae she has active.
- Supernatural Condition: Morgan has collected at least one Fae that gives her a supernatural conditioning in terms of strength, speed, and stamina. It might be multiple Fae, but she's only ever been seen using the one whenever she has this ability active. This is one of the Fae she keeps active, usually.
- Telekinesis: Morgan has collected at least four different telekinetics, one of which allows her to fly as well.
- Telepathy: Morgan has collected at least one telepathic Fae, and that Fae is sometimes active when she has one of her telekinesis powers; it is presumed that this Fae might be both telekinetic and telepathic, giving her both; however, of note is that the telekinesis is slightly weaker than her other three telekinetic Fae by a significant margin.
- General Biokinesis: Morgan collected a Fae she calls the Life Shaper, which seems to give her general touch-based biokinesis. It hasn't been officially seen how strong her biokinesis is when she's using Life Shaper, but based on the name and its implications (as she never names things lightly), it is presumed it could be nearly absolute.
Weaknesses and Limitations:
- Weaknesses:
- Arrogance: Morgan believes that because she is powerful, she is untouchable. She also thinks that she can fool everyone into believing her to simply being an insane child with power, but this is an obvious flaw in her line of thinking.
- Humanity: Morgan, despite her nature, is still human to a large degree. Sure, she's got powers that can make her harder to kill, but she can't always have them active and does sometimes swap them out for other things; in these cases, she becomes just as easy to kill as any other baseline human.
- Limitations:
- Three of the Court: Morgan can only have three of her "Fae" active at any given time, and must swap one out for a different one to change powers. This can take time, especially if she doesn't pay attention to what Fae she wants or needs.
- Touch Distance: Morgan's ability to steal powers relies entirely on her ability to get her opponent within arm's reach, and to keep them still long enough for the process to complete;
depending on their powers, that can mean trying to subdue someone for a few minutes, or a few hours; obviously, that means - when dealing with a group - she can't really steal powers very easily.- Natural Requirement: Morgan can only steal powers that her powers view as 'natural'; that means that if it comes from technology, magic, another dimension, or some alien stuff (not alien genetics), it will be immune to her power. Natural powers are genetic, mutagenic, etc. and, depending on their exact nature, can take differing amounts of time for her power to extract/copy.
