History Characters / FateGrandOrderMorgan

* KickTheDog: Her ''entire reign'' is one to the Fairies of Britain. Also mixed in with KickTheSonOfABitch as a good portion of fairies are proven to deserve the kicking.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: In a meta-sense, the reason for Lostbelt Morgan's existence is due to Nasu feeling like Takeuchi's design for her did not depict her as the contriving witch she has been characterized as and what have been implied with the Proper Human History version of her in previous works such as ''Fate/Apocrypha''.

* ContraltoOfStrength: Creator/YuiIshikawa portrays Morgan with a fairly deep voice, highlighting her immense power and status as TheArchmage.

* YouCantFightFate: All Morgan wanted was for Faerie Britain to survive. Unfortunately for her, literally ''everyone and everything else'' would not rest until Faerie Britain was gone; Chaldea needs to protect Proper Human History, the Foreign God is mad about her Lostbelt becoming useless for its purposes, the native faeries are self-destructive to the point of self-genocide, Gaia wants history corrected by forging Excalibur so the Lostbelt can be pruned (the very thing Morgan was ''supposed'' to do), and even ''Faerie Britain itself'' is trying to commit suicide through the Calamities. Morgan puts up a truly impressive fight, but once she dies, all the conflicting forces have their way and the Lostbelt is destroyed in record time.

* CrazyPrepared: Lostbelt Morgan is a prime example why you should never allow a magus time and resources to prepare. Knowing that someday she would have to face an apocalyptic, existential threat to Faerie Britain, Morgan harnessed immense amounts of magical energy, invented many powerful spells (including ''time-travel'' and a self-duplication spell) and created *twelve* copies of a Divine Construct. The lattermost of which could threaten Olympus itself with a single shot so Morgan was as prepared as she ever could be to fell Cernunnos.

* TheDreaded: This Morgan is not just an AlternateSelf. This is Morgan of the Lostbelt who has inherited the memories of the original Morgan from Proper Human History, gaining experience and knowledge of magecraft that she then honed for millennia and tempered with her hatred of the faeries. The final result of this was a supreme magus far eclipsing her old self, openly called the WorldsStrongestWoman who would turn that power on whoever or whatever she wants with no hesitation. Everyone in the Lostbelt, Chaldea included, regards her with fear and awe even as they rally against her -- even '''Merlin''', the current fill-in for Grand Caster after Solomon removed himself from the Throne of Heroes and who messes with [[PhysicalGod Physical Gods]] on a regular basis, sat most of the British Lostbelt out when he realized exactly who the Lostbelt King was.

* SympathyForTheDevil: Despite her tyranny she remains very sypmathetic due to her traumatic backstory, and even her enemies find it hard to hate her.

* EvilVirtues: Courtesy, Conviction, Courage, Determination, Diligence, Love, Gratitude, Honesty, Respect, Temperance, and Valor, if all these virtues weren't submerged in an ocean of inconsolable cynicism, rage, grief, and depression, Morgan would have the makings of a truly noble hero among heroes, (and did during her time as Aesc the Savior).

* AntiVillain: Combination of the [[SlidingScaleofAntiVillains Noble and Woobie]] varieties. While she is a ruthless and brutal tyrant, the sheer amount of crap she's gone through in her life along with seeing what she [[NiceGirl was like prior]] make her extremely sympathetic. Furthermore, she still has some genuinely redeeming traits, such as her [[AffablyEvil politeness and courtesy]], [[IGaveMyWord always keeping her word]], [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes her love for her daughter]], and the fact that she genuinely values her few loyal subordinates and [[BenevolentBoss treats them quite well]], with most of the rocky parts of her relations with them stemming less from any sort of JerkAss tendencies on her part and more from depression and apathy.

** The "Sea Monster Crisis" event shows she hasn't lost her touch when she gets her hands on an actual summoning medium, resulting in the summoning and essentially ''creation'' of Taisui Xingjun.
* ShadowArchetype: She serves as this to Altria In essence, Morgan is what Altria would have been if she has lost all faith in her ideals and never move on.

* CosmicPlaything: She may have been chosen by the land of Britain in Proper Human History and Gaia in the Lostbelt, but Lostbelt No. 6 shows fate and everyone else was determined to screw Morgan over no matter what she did in every timeline. For starters, her role as TheChosenOne in her Lostbelt is to end the land of Faerie Britain by forging Excalibur, something both incarnations of Morgan (PHH and Lostbelt) were fiercely against, not to mention that doing so involves her having to sacrifice her life. She then tried three times to subvert that fate and save Britain via time travel, but failed every attempt because the fairies she was trying to save slaughtered her and her companions. To add insult to injury, she's killed off for good by getting betrayed one last time by her power-hungry subjects looking to carve up her kingdom for their own ends. Even turning into a despot and oppressing those who would betray her did nothing but delay the inevitable. And then Act 3 shows that even in death, life can't help but kick her down one last time. All her preparations for the Cernunnos's awakening still weren't enough to actually defeat him by herself and she very likely would have died from the sheer strain of fighting him; and if, somehow, she had managed to defeat him, she would have still had to contend with the Abyssal Worm coming out of the Pit to finish what Cernunnos started. By the end of the story, her country is set on fire, smashed to pieces, sucked into an abyss, and then erased from existence. All that suffering and hard work over the course of thousands of years and failures, and she has nothing to show for it in the end. The cherry on top is that the only tangible proof of her Lostbelt's existence is not even something she herself created but rather its own version of Excalibur, forged by Altria Caster, the one thing she had fought against doing all those centuries.

* BeingEvilSucks: While her time as Aesc the Savior certainly fell into BeingGoodSucks, her reign as the Winter Queen shows this applies just as much. While she's no longer bullied or persecuted like she was prior, she's also shown to be almost completely alone, whereas Aesc at least genuine friends and TrueCompanions. Furthermore, her aloof and icy demeanor alienates her few loyal subordinates, with both Barghest and Woodwose turning against her because of it (although in the case of the latter, it also required some outside manipulation). Furthermore, it leaves her unable to connect with and properly raise Baobhan Sith, which would spiral into the chain of events that would lead to both her and her daughters particularly miserable final moments.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Aesc's [[{{Determinator}} determination]], [[WideEyedIdealist willingness to believe in the good of others]] even against all evidence to the contrary, and attempts to ScrewDestiny so everyone can get a happy ending might've worked out for her in something a more idealistic setting like ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', ''Franchise/StarWars'', or ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Unfortunately for her, Fairy Britain, and indeed the ''Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}'' as a whole, doesn't really work like that.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Probably the most tragic aspect of Morgan's character is that pretty much all her suffering comes precisely from her most positive and sympathetic qualities. Her desire to help others and try and see the best in them is what causes her to persist so long in her futile attempts to save and reform the Fae, the fact that her main desire is not power or conquest, but simply to be loved and accepted renders her incapable of taking any enjoyment in her reign as Winter Queen despite being in a position that most EvilOverlords would dream of, and lastly, her genuine love for her daughter is what ultimately results in her death. Had she been a typical EvilOverlord, she would not only have survived, but actively thrived as the Winter Queen.
