Morgause, also known as Morgawse, is a character in later Arthurian traditions.

Her character is fully developed in Thomas Malory’s compilation of Arthurian legends Le Morte d'Arthur, in which Morgause is one of three daughters born to Gorlois of Tintagel, Duke of Cornwall, and the Lady Igraine. According to Malory, her mother is widowed and then remarried to Uther Pendragon, giving birth to his son Arthur, and Morgause and her sisters, Elaine and Morgan "le Fay", are married off to allies or vassals of their stepfather. Morgause is wed to the Orcadian King Lot and bears him four sons, all of whom go on to serve Arthur as Knights of the Round Table: Gawain, one of his greatest knights; Agravain, a wretched and twisted traitor; Gaheris; and Gareth, a gentle and loving knight.

Years later, her spouse joins the failed rebellions against Arthur that follow in the wake of King Uther’s death and the subsequent coronation of his heir. Shortly after her husband’s defeat, Morgause visits the young King Arthur in his bedchamber, ignorant of their familial relationship, and they conceive Mordred. Her husband, who has unsuspectingly raised Mordred as his own son, is slain in battle by King Pellinore. Her sons depart their father’s court to take service at Camelot, where Gawain and Gaheris avenge Lot’s death by killing Pellinore, thereby launching a blood feud between the two families.

Nevertheless, Morgause has an affair with Sir Lamorak, a son of Pellinore and one of Arthur’s best knights. Her son Gaheris discovers them in flagrante and swiftly beheads Morgause in bed, but spares her unarmed lover.

“‘Why do you hate him so?’ Wendy asks of Peter. Hook replies, “Imagine a lion in a cage and into that cage flies a butterfly. If the lion was free, it would pay no heed to such a creature. But the lion is not free…and so the butterfly drives him slowly insane.”

— alleged deleted scene from Peter Pan (2003)

“i am made of war and she is made of love she mends what i tear apart the holes in the bronze hammered into my soul bruises blossom on her neck evidence of my savagery and she strokes my bones and clutches close my skin stitched together the patchwork pieces i would fight for her die for her again and again and again tear myself to ashes if only to fall between her fingers my wounds are jagged like broken glass and she kisses them and only when she rises do i see that there is blood on my hands and blood in her mouth i am made of war and she is made of love but what makes war if not love?”

— if ares is the god of war, why do we shrink so from aphrodite?  (l.d.)

Just a collection of a few resources to develop your character! 

NAMES   (  x  &  x  )  -  the etymology  &  history of first names.

ZODIAC   (  x  &  x  )  -   there are 12 zodiac signs,  &  each sign has its own strengths  &  weaknesses,  its own specific traits,  desires  &  attitude towards life  &  people.  astrology can give us a glimpse of a person’s basic characteristics,  preferences,  flaws  &  fears.

ALIGNMENT   (  x  )  -   each alignment represents a broad range of personality types  or  personal philosophies,  so two characters of the same alignment can still be quite different from each other.  in addition,  few people are completely consistent. 

MBTI   (  x   &   x  )  -   the 16 personality types were created by Isabel Myers  &  Katharine Briggs as a way to categorize an individual according to their preferred way of thinking  &  behaving.  each personality type is designated with a four-letter code,  like INFP  or  ESTJ,  which is an acronym for the four key dimensions of personality.

TEMPERAMENTS   (  x  &  x  )  -   the four temperaments are represented by four distinct groups of “traits” or tendencies.  each cluster of traits produces a distinct manner of behavior that is different from the other groups. 

ENNEAGRAM    (  x   &  x  )   -   the Enneagram is a personality typing system that consists of nine different types.  everyone is considered to be one single type,  although one can have traits belonging to other ones. 

THE NINE TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE   (  x  )  -   one theory regarding the nature of intelligence comes from psychologist Gardner,  who suggested that you could categorize smarts into different kinds of intelligence.  his theory suggests that there is more to being intelligent than simply being proficient in languages  or  being good in math. 

ARCHETYPES   (  x  )  -   an archetype is a pattern of behaviors that,  once discovered,  helps you better understand yourself  &  others.

LABEL  (  x  )  &   (  x  )  &  (  x  )  -   labels for your characters,  along with a short,  somewhat detailed description.

TROPES   (  x  )  -  it refers to an often overused plot device.   it can also be described as another variation on the same theme.
