History Characters / LostInCamelot

* HalfHumanHybrid: Morgana is shocked to learn that her mother Vivienne was actually fae, but Vivienne was stripped of her powers after she fell in love with Gorlois. However, when Trick studies a sample of her blood, he is surprised to observe that Morgana not only inherited fae traits from her mother, but the fae in her is becoming stronger, although Trick notes that he can't predict the extent of her changes.
* HeelRealization: Invoked when Morgana learns that Merlin was aware of her attempt to help Tauren assassinate Uther, and accepts that his knowledge of such an act justifies Merlin's subsequent suspicions of her.
* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Sister]]: After Morgause manipulated Morgana into allowing herself to be used as a host for the sleeping curse, and has confirmed that she cannot save Bo from Bo's own efforts to break the curse, Morgana tells Morgause to leave Camelot and never return, declaring that after Morgause left her alone for years and only came to use her as a pawn in a larger scheme she has no interest in considering the other woman a sister.

** As a minor example, Morgana blames herself when she learns that encouraging Gwen to get together with Lancelot ended Gwen's secret relationship with Arthur despite the two having genuine feelings for each other.
** Morgana is faced with a more serious version of this when she realises that Morgause manipulated her into consenting to serve as the source of the sleeping curse afflicting the rest of Camelot, as Morgana's desire to find a way to get Bo out of an arranged marriage nearly led to the deaths of everyone they care for.

A prominent human kingdom in the land of Albion, Camelot has been ruled by Uther Pendragon for the better part of two decades. While Uther pursues his own purge of magic, he is unaware that many key figures in his court ''are'' magical beings themselves, and others have come to sympathise with those who wield magic and have vowed to protect the innocent from the worst of Uther's fanaticism.

* ClosestThingWeGot: After the triad and Dyson depart Camelot, the kingdom's main defenders against magical threats are essentially four BadassNormal heroes with Gaius as their mentor (the other knights play their part, but Arthur, Gwen, Lancelot and Kenzi are the ones most aware of the truth of magic).

* OccultDetective: Kenzi made a semi-living as this in the future, and the rest of the group are pretty good at investigating magical mysteries.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: While Uther is a comparatively lighter shade of evil than most, he still assumes that the only reason Arthur is upset at Gwaine leaving Camelot is because the two men were having a sexual relationship, rather than realise that Arthur is angry that a good man like Gwaine has been banished for no good reason.

* SelectiveObliviousness: Invoked when Arthur wonders at how he missed the evidence that Merlin had magic, and has to be assured by Gwen that the idea of Morgana being romantically interested in other women was a surprise to her and it wasn't just him who missed such clues.

Camelot's healer, and Merlin's mentor in magic. As others learn about Merlin's true nature, Gaius has begun advising others as they face the moral dilemmas of upholding the spirit of Uther's laws while still working to protect the innocent.

* ThisIsMyHuman: Not only are humans basically regarded as pets by most Fae, but some fae express uncertainty about how long long humans live 'in the wild', and at least one believed it was acceptable to only feed a human every week rather than multiple times a day.

* EvilIsPetty: While the Blood King isn't exactly "evil", this is the best way to describe his treatment of Kilgharrah, driving the entire dragon race to extinction to punish Kilgharrah for taking part in an Under-Fae rebellion that didn't even work. Even when Kilgharrah returns with his lost granddaughter, the Blood King makes it clear that the dragon basically had to act as transport for a couple of humans to reinforce the King's own authority and suggest how the dragon had been 'humbled' by his punishment.

* HaveWeMetYet: Bo is so shocked when she sees Dyson in Hengist's fortress that she needs a moment to confirm that she's looking at the Dyson of this era rather than the time-displaced Dyson of her time.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Turns into a wolf.

* UndyingLoyalty: While he fled his former pack after he became disgusted with their king's manipulations, once Dyson becomes part of life in Camelot he is quick to recognise that Bo is deserving of his respect as the Fae ruler of the kingdom, to the extent that he pledges his loyalty to her. When he appeals to the Blood King to help cure Bo after she takes a curse into herself, the Blood King observes that he'll do it even if Bo isn't his lost granddaughter as she must be an exceptional individual to have inspired such loyalty. While he now trains alongside the rest of the Blood King's guards, Trick has referred to Dyson as Bo's "swordsman", suggesting that he is essentially regarded as Bo's personal defender in particular.

* ShipTease: Bo takes credit for encouraging Esperanza to approach Dyson about her own interest.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Had to be explicitly told to put Merlin and Morgana's food on the table alongside Bo's own dish, rather than leave it on the floor like they're dogs, but this just seemed to have been Olga making a dismissive assumption caused by a lack of experience with humans rather than an action motivated by any kind of prejudice.

** Even before her mother's death and her subsuquent imprisonment, Aife was apparently a troublemaker; Trick recalls one occasion where a teenage Aife seduced the heirs of three rival families and nearly escalated a blood feud of eight centuries into open war.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: While Kilgharrah may not be outright ''evil'', he still defines Bo and Morgana according to his own perceptions rather than acknowledging them as good people who might make mistakes, such as regarding Morgana telling the Witchfinder about Gaius as an act of deliberate malice rather than desperate fear.

* NotSoOmniscientAfterAll: Fearing the consequences of Bo's closer relationship with Merlin, Kilgharrah attempts to break them up by indirectly encouraging Merlin and Morgana to keep their closer associations with Morgana and Bo secret from Bo and Merlin respectively, although he could never have anticipated that Kenzi would suggest that all three of them share a romantic relationship.

* PragmaticVillainy: Basically invokes this to convince Morgana to trust him to take them to the Blood King to cure Bo; even if Kilgharrah escaped his prison, he would still be hunted by the King's curse, so his best chance to live a normal life is to perform some great service to the Fae monarch, such as returning the king's lost granddaughter to her family.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: On marrying Uther she becomes Queen of Camelot and immediately starts to raise taxes.
* HypnoTrinket: She initially controls Uther with an amulet, but by the time Gwen, Morgana and Kenzi steal the amulet her spell is too ingrained.

* ImpostorForgotOneDetail: Gaius suspects her because the real Catrina had a rare bone condition.

* MotorMouth: To more humourous extent than usual, as most of Kenzi's references are dated for the future so most of Camelot has no idea what she's talking about (Happy Meals, Barbies, etc.)

* EasilyForgiven: Although Morgana was tricked by Morgause into becoming the source of a sleeping curse that afflicted all of Camelot, once the curse is broken Bo assures Morgana that she doesn't blame her lover for being tricked.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Morgana blames herself when she learns that encouraging Gwen to get together with Lancelot ended Gwen's secret relationship with Arthur despite the two having genuine feelings for each other.

[[folder:Olga]]
!!Olga
A servant in the Blood King's palace, Olga is assigned to serve as Bo's personal maid.

* AlmightyJanitor: Olga is at least suggested to be this, as she has served the Blood King since Aife was a child and is trusted enough that Trick had no fear about sending her to Bo where many in his kingdom still feared even the memory of Aife's madness.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Had to be explicitly told to put Merlin and Morgana's food on the table alongside Bo's own dish, rather than leave it on the floor like they're dogs, but this just seemed to have been Olga making a dismissive assumption caused by a lack of experience with humans rather than an action motivated by any kind of prejudice.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Compared to the Morrigan of the future, Bo is shocked to see that Evony in this time period seems to be genuinely happy and polite, rather than just putting on appearances.

* IfItsYouItsOkay: Initially Morgana has trouble being physically affectionate with Bo, even if she had previously mused that Bo would be the perfect suitor if she had been born a man, and was physically affectionate towards Bo to such a degree that Kenzi found it noteworthy even before she was presented with the idea of two women being involved with each other in that sense. Her uncertainty about her feelings reaches a point where Morgana briefly contemplates breaking their relationship off as she has trouble being physically affectionate with Bo, but after Bo is captured by Hengist, Morgana accepts the depth of her own feelings. By the time Morgause comes to Camelot, Morgana is willing to assure Bo that the succubus is the only woman she will ever love, accepting that she cares for Bo as a person who just happens to be a woman rather than being interested in women in general.

* IfItsYouItsOkay: Initially Morgana has trouble being physically affectionate with Bo, even if she had previously mused that Bo would be the perfect suitor if she had been born a man, and was physically affectionate towards Bo to such a degree that Kenzi found it noteworthy even before she was presented with the idea of two women being involved with each other in that sense. Her uncertainty about her feelings reaches a point where Morgana briefly contemplates breaking their relationship off as she has trouble being physically affectionate with Bo, but after Bo is captured by Hengist, Morgana accepts the depth of her own feelings. By the time Morgause comes to Camelot, Morgana is willing to assure Bo that the succubus is the only woman she will ever love, and has shown no particular interest in other women.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Morgause notes that she took female lovers when she was younger as she grew up with only women for company among other priestesses, and still takes the occasional female lover even if she also enjoys the pleasures of men.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Morgana acknowledges that she would have gone after Bo from the beginning if her friend had been a man, and was physically affectionate with Bo to such a degree that Kenzi found it noteworthy even before she was presented with the idea of two women being involved with each other in that sense. That said, Morgana has only ever been attracted to men before Bo suggests the idea of Morgana joining her relationship with Merlin, is reluctant to take things to a physical level too soon even after Bo kisses her for the first time- a fact that Bo understands and accepts- and was explicitly attracted to Merlin first, to the point that she nearly breaks off their relationship as she has trouble being physically affectionate with Bo. Once she has affirmed to herself that she loves Bo, Morgana has since had no problem affirming her appreciation of Bo in particular while still being intimate with Merlin, although she has shown no sign of interest in other women.

* IfItsYouItsOkay: Initially Morgana has trouble being physically affectionate with Bo, even if she had previously mused that Bo would be the perfect suitor if she had been born a man. This reaches a point where Morgana briefly contemplates breaking it off as she has trouble being physically affectionate with Bo, but after Bo is captured by Hengist, Morgana accepts the depth of her own feelings. By the time Morgause comes to Camelot, Morgana is willing to assure Bo that the succubus is the only woman she will ever love.

A succubus, Bo spent her first few decades of life in the twentieth/twenty-first century before she and her best friend Kenzi were banished into the past by a mysterious old man. Initially accepting the plan to stay in Camelot until she found a way home, Bo soon learns that this was her native time, and settles more permanently into her new life to the extent that she falls in love with Merlin and Morgana.

Publically the manservant to Prince Arthur of Camelot, Merlin is secretly the prophesised Emrys, the most powerful magical being to ever exist, foretold to assist the Once and Future King. However, he finds himself exploring a new life when Bo and Kenzi arrive in Camelot, culminating in him falling in love with Bo and Morgana.

Initially the ward of King Uther Pendragon of Camelot, Morgana begins to learn more about her true potential when she experiences prophetic dreams and starts to experience outbursts of magic. Seeking aid in understanding her abilities, she turns to Merlin and Bo for help, which leads to her unexpected realisation that she has fallen in love with them both even before she learns all of their own secrets.

The crown prince of Camelot, Arthur is destined to become the Once and Future King who will restore magic to the kingdom.

Camelot’s healer, and Merlin’s mentor in magic.

Bo’s best friend, she was banished into the past along with Bo by a mysterious old man. Taking advantage of Uther’s misinterpretations of the situation, Kenzi essentially tricks him into appointing her a noblewoman of Camelot

Briefly a knight of Camelot before he was banished for lying about his heritage, Lancelot returns to Camelot after joining forces with Dyson as a warrior in Heingist’s fortress. He is ultimately allowed to remain as Dyson’s manservant (thanks to Uther being "persuaded" by Bo) and forms an unconventional friendship with Kenzi even before the triad departs Camelot to break Bo's curse.

A wolf-shifter and Light Fae who left his original pack after his then-king caused the death of his friend Stefan. Meeting Lancelot during his travels, Dyson eventually meets Bo while he and Lancelot are forced to fight for Heingist, which leads to him being declared a Knight of Camelot.

The last known dragon alive, he has been trapped under Camelot for the last two decades as a symbol of Uther’s victory over magic. His fate is revealed to have been the result of a curse written by the Blood King for his role in an attempted underfae rebellion. He attempts to advise Merlin on his destiny to assist in the return of magic to Camelot, but the arrival of Bo and Kenzi gives him new opportunities to pursue another agenda.

A mysterious sorceress and warrior, she attempts to turn Arthur against his father and secure Morgana’s aid by revealing their true relationship, but ultimately her actions all fail.

Briefly a knight of Camelot before he was banished for lying about his heritage, Lancelot returns to Camelot after joining forces with Dyson as a warrior in Heingist’s fortress. He is ultimately allowed to remain as Dyson’s manservant (with some persuasion from Bo) and forms an unconventional friendship with Kenzi even before the triad departs Camelot to break her curse.

* BadassNormal: By the time Bo arrives in Heingist’s fortress, Lancelot had formed a good friendship with Dyson as the two were allies in Heingist’s cage matches despite Lancelot being only human compared to Dyson’s powers as a fae.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: With the obvious exception of Uther, Leon is the only member of the court of Camelot unaware of the kingdom's magical defenders and the new plan to adopt a more benevolent view, as his adherence to the rules means that Arthur and the others can't be sure how he would react to the truth.

* ThisIsMyHuman: When the group arrive at the Blood King’s territory, Dyson has to establish that Merlin and Morgana ‘belong’ to Bo to justify them accompanying him and Bo back to the palace. Technically Bo has claimed most of Camelot from a fae perspective, but she chooses to consider that a technicality that helps her protect those she cares for.

* AuthorityInNameOnly: From a fae perspective, Bo claimed Camelot as her territory just by living there, but since Bo has no interest in actually ''ruling'' Camelot, she claimed to unfamiliar fae that she essentially 'lets' Uther think he's still in charge so that he can deal with the administrative side of things while retaining her own title.

* ThisIsMyHuman: To protect her human friends from other Fae, Bo has “claimed” Kenzi and most of Camelot as hers, even if she makes it clear to them in private that she considers them friends rather than property.

* PuppetKing: When Bo meets other fae, to prevent them staging their own coup of Camelot she claims that she is the true ruler of the kingdom and she essentially lets Uther think he’s still in charge so that he can deal with the fine details she wouldn’t be interested in doing herself.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: The best description of Bo's new dynamic with Dyson after she meets his past self; with Bo already in a relationship with Merlin and Morgana by the time she meets the younger Dyson, she swiftly acknowledges to herself that she no longer has feelings for him, and Dyson in turn respects her as Camelot's fae ruler but has no romantic interest in her.

* EvilChancellor: Morgause's plan in revealing the truth of Ygraine's death was to ultimately set herself up as this to Arthur; with Uther dead, she guessed that Arthur would have to face attacks from other rulers or even his own nobles who objected to his actions, and she would be able to win a place in Camelot by offering an alliance with Cenred, all while intending to eventually stage a coup of Camelot for herself.

* NeverMyFault: During Morgause's assault on Camelot, she basically acts as though Arthur is at fault for not killing Uther and Bo is dying because of her own mistakes in trying to break the curse, but Morgana and Arthur make it clear that Morgause is the one to blame, as Arthur would have been a pariah if he killed his father in those circumstances and Morgana would have never agreed to being used to attack her friends and lovers in this manner.
