At a young age, Morgana discovers that she sometimes dreams of things that afterwards come to pass. Morgana is the daughter of Uther Pendragon and his adulterous lover, Vivienne, who was his best friend's wife, though this fact is hidden from Morgana. She helps Merlin and Arthur defeat the Afanc that Nimueh used to poison the water supply despite them telling her it is too dangerous ( The Mark of Nimueh). His actions lead her to believe he has feelings for Gwen. She is first properly introduced to Merlin when Gwen is wrongly accused of witchcraft after witnessing his apparent attempt to sacrifice his life for Gwen's (though he was actually the one responsible for the enchantment of which she had been accused). Merlin is initially quite awestruck by the Lady Morgana and watches her flirtatious interaction with Arthur at the feast. Nevertheless, Uther orders her to be present to greet Lady Helen. Morgana resisted attending this celebration, expressing to Uther her sympathy for Mary Collins and her abhorrence for the Great Purge because of the lives taken to accomplish Uther's endeavour to eliminate magic from Camelot. Morgana, not seeing him, mistakes him for Gwen while getting ready for a feast celebrating twenty years since the end of The Great Purge. Morgana is first seen by Merlin during his first days in Camelot when he enters her chambers. Being the only woman in the royal family, she would often sit beside Uther during state affairs and tournaments, seemingly filling the role which would have ordinarily been undertaken by the Queen of Camelot. As a young girl, she often practiced swordplay with her childhood companion, Arthur, and according to her, used to beat him with a sword, though he would later deny this. It was stated by Uther himself that Morgana fought him from the beginning and was never afraid to speak her mind. As a result of Gorlois' death, Morgana was placed in Uther's care. She remained with her family until she was about ten years old, at which point Gorlois was killed by enemies of Camelot because Uther failed to send his best friend the promised reinforcements. Morgana also stated that, as a child, she used to help Gorlois with his armour.
As she was born in the house of Gorlois, no one doubted her parentage.
1.27 Discovering Emrys and Alliance with MordredĪccording to Uther Pendragon, when Morgana's presumed father Gorlois was away fighting on the Northern Plains, her mother Vivienne had a brief affair with Uther Pendragon and later gave birth to Morgana.
