A spirited and highly intelligent person, Morvana is nonetheless unruly and undisciplined. She marches to the beat of her own drum andlings for authenticity in life, treating (almost) everyone with either uncommon kindness, or sarcasm. Her long and storied life has led her to become jaded. Morvana's greatest fault is that she's an incredibly smug know-it-all, having full confidence in her abilities and experiences to guide her through the most trying of circumstances, believing that there's nothing left to surprise her. She possesses a strange mysteriousness in her character that makes her elusive even to her closest friends, and only engages with people at face value for as long as they can entertain her. The creation of meaningful and fruitful relationships is something she's never mastered.

Morvana's parents were an odd couple who came together for a single union that resulted in her. Her father, Griorgair, was a respected mage and policitian, while her mother, Glenna, was a witch who was part of a coven in the Enna Wildlands. For the first six years of her life, Morvana lived with her mother, until she displayed magical abilities and was sent to live with her father in the hopes of a better education.

A rambunctious child, Morvana went through several boarding schools before becoming a model student, graduating two years early and entering the Conservatory of the Arcane Arts, a prestigious university dedicated to magical studies. She spent decades mastering several fields, writing novels, and becoming an archeologist. Morvana travelled the globe to research magical objects and ancient societies. This routine ended war broke out in her home country and she and other accomplished mages from the Conservatory were called into action to help battle a rebel army. Morvana, a skilled pyromancer, quickly gained a reputation for being fearsome and deadly. The war changed her outlook in life, and afterwards she became detacted and hopelessly lost in her head.

In Midhir, mages (people born with their magical abilities) are accepted, while witches gain them through illict contracts with spirits and are ostracized. Although Morvana was a natural mage, Morvana's actions during the war, combined with the relevation that her mother was a witch and she'd grown up in a coven, fuelled rumours. Morvana was forced to go on the run, leaving the Conservatory behind her, and kept running until she fled to a monastery where she claimed sanctuary. Confined to the monastery, Morvana felt like a prisoner, and the only way out was to officially convert to the Order of the Hermit, which granted her immunity to legal prosecution. The conversion is a difficult process that is often fatal, but Morvana survived the ordeal, so although she hasn't an ounce of faith or spirituality inside her, Morvana became an ordained monk. Since then, her archeological work has focused on benefitting the order, though she's known to take detours and adventures that have occupied her time for years

It's during these adventures that Morvana finds herself in the city of Peverley, meets Leif, and goes on a bit of an adventure that's interesting even by her standards.
