Morgana (b. 5th century AD), born as Morgan le Fay, and known in some circles as Morgane, was a powerful dark witch who lived in the British Isles during the early medieval period and was Queen of Avalon. She was the half-brother of King Arthur of Camelot, with whom she shared a mother, Lady Igraine, and both a long-time rival and later wife of the great wizard Merlin. In addition to being a proficient healer, Morgana was also an Animagus but was an avid user of dark magic, putting her at odds with Merlin and his traditional druidic ways.
