Morgan Nightgem

Morgan Nightgem (born 27th December, 3010) was the leader of the Wizard Mages based out of Terminus. She was born on Lunaria, a planet which resided on the edge of the Laniakea Supercluster which isn't even apart of Alliance space. Not long after she was born, Morgan's parents discovered her powerful magic capabilities. Wanting the best education for their daughter, and having been both Wizards and mages themselves, they sent her to the Terminus schools of magic. To their surprise, their daughter was quite independent and only became more so as she grew up, even becoming the leader of the mages which they had not even been able to accomplish.

Personality
Morgan is widely known to be one of the most friendly faces on the planet Terminus and probably the most easily recognizable. She likes to wear bright flashy clothes, greet most people she meets, and is not really afraid of anyone. Morgan has even gone so far as purposefully annoying Penny Dreadful by repeatedly being friendly to her and joking around in order to invoke a response. This somehow led them to become friends as Morgan's persistence showed that she cared.

Nightgem takes her role as the leader of the mages seriously, often swapping from her happy-go-lucky demeanor to a very serious down to Earth expert. When Victoria died during the Battle of Terminus, Morgan blamed herself for not being present and personally apologized to Emily despite doing nothing wrong. To this day, she still holds her fellow mage's death over her own head. This is most likely because she feels that she cannot live up to her parents despite having surpassed them in capability and even rank long ago.

Morgan refuses to admit that one of her two partners, Hunter, is a traitor and strongly believes he has some ulterior motive meant to help the Alliance.

Early life
Morgan was born a single child on Lunaria. She barely had any memories of living on the planet, but still remembered it fondly. Since both of her parents were Wizard Mages, they often had more combat experience than the average Wizard. Once Morgan was old enough, she was sent to Terminus to go to school and train to become an alliance wizard like they were. Morgan didn't have any complaints on the matter and really considered Terminus to be her home more so than her home planet. She rarely ever saw her parents, but the only reason she never missed them was because she knew they would come back to see her, and they did periodically. She was a very independent child and didn't have much to worry about. She did what she had to do and it paid off since she ended up being the top of her class. This meant she was more than qualified to not only become a mage, but be the mage leader.

Jess Nightgem
Morgan's mother was a powerful imagination mage who was known for being more grounded and stubborn. When her parents met, they both knew they were partners from the get go and decided not to participate in the partner competition because they saw no reason to. Eventually they did find out for sure, but more naturally. Her mother was the one who sent her to school and she is where she gets a lot of her emotional strength and drive from.

Releum Nightgem
Morgan's father was also a powerful Imagination Wizard and the second Imagination mage during his time in school. He was more laid back in comparison to his partner and he was very patient, waiting to see what happens rather than jumping in head-first and making it happen. He was where Morgan got a lot of her creativity from.

Queen Mage
When Morgan was twelve years old, she earned the title of mage. She was one of the youngest people to earn it and because of her amazing grades, gifted fighting skills, and the fact that she always worked hard helping around Terminus, it was unanimously agreed upon that she was fit for the position. Though the leader of the mages is not always needed, Morgan was pushed to do so by the other mages. Despite her bubbly and slightly ditsy demeanor, Morgan took her job very seriously. Another reason why she didn't seem to think about or miss her family was because of the simple fact that she was more focused and determined to lead the mages in whatever challenge they faced, with Miyato Akechi being her second in command.

The Partner Competition
Just before the Partner competition, in which wizards in training would be assigned their partners as they found each other and completed the course, Morgan noticed that her best friend, Penny Dreadful, had entered. This both intrigued and excited her since she never thought she'd see her there. As Morgan approached from behind, she playfully asked if she was trying to get a partner. Penny responded very plainly that she didn't think she would get one. Morgan could tell that she wanted one but simply felt that because she was a sorcerer that the likelihood of getting paired with someone was slim. She tried to lighten the mood as best she could by pouting about how she would compete if she didn't already have two partners of her own and was allowed to. As she was talking, Morgan noticed how distracted Penny was and that she was glancing over at a boy named Christopher Spellcrafter. This provided her with the opportunity to tease Penny and figured that she may have liked him, if not secretly. Their last conversation before the competition began was Penny remarking about how Morgan wore too much pink. Morgan didn't care, however, because pink was her favorite color and she was proud of it.

The Battle of Terminus
After the imperial fleet had been spotted near Terminus, the city was on high alert. This meant that that everyone was to stay at home with exception to teachers and mages. The mages were tasked with guarding the schools, homes, and nearby restaurants. Being that Morgan was the lead mage, she was busy assigning each one of them a location to stand guard at, all while keeping a close eye for any attacks from a distance. When the Empire made the first move and proceeded to bomb the city itself, Morgan gathered up the mages and they took to the sky. The plan was to hover above ground and help anyone who needed it, using a giant spider web that incased the battlefield to stand on. Morgan was right beside Victoria Dreadful throughout the fight up until Victoria left to go help Chris. Morgan was hopeful and confident in their chances of winning and remained both focused and vigilante throughout the fight. However, after Victoria's death, her happy-go-lucky demeanor became absent as she felt horrible for not being there during the fight to help her. The guilt of the situation was starting to get the best of her and she even apologized to Emily Spellcrafter, who was Victoria's presumed partner, after the fact because she felt like she didn't do enough to save her. Emily assured her that it wasn't her fault, but Morgan continued to let the guilt ride her, making her realize that she needed to be the one to make whoever did this pay in order to make up for it.

Hunter's Betrayal
Days after the attack on Terminus, there was a briefing being held for the mages and was being both hosted and led by Morgan. They were in the war room discussing their next move as a result of the events. Miyato Akechi was the first to point out that the war took precedence over the security breach which caused more arguments back and forth between the other members about what the next step should be. Some mages felt as if it were too early to even think about fighting, especially while the Alliance was still licking its wounds from the attack, there was evidence of a backstabber, and they were down by one mage. It wasn't long before Morgan broke the verbal arguing and got everyone's attention. Her final decision was that they search the city again for anymore sorcerers and continue to search until they had no other choice but to fight them on other worlds. She reminded the group that while their defenses were much stronger, that didn't mean they were invincible to their attacks and they needed to be careful to not underestimate any of their opponents. Morgan then told Miyato to guard the city while they searched and keep the citizens safe. He was one of his most trusted mages and the second in command, so she felt he was the best choice in case something went wrong.

The meeting was then put on hold for a moment as Chris and Penny showed up to ask if she had seen her partner Hunter Spiritbringer anywhere since the attack. Morgan replied that she had only seen Jerard but not him, mentioning that it was hard enough keeping up with one partner. She asked if Hunter did something wrong and wondered why they needed him. This prompted Penny to pull Morgan aside and tell her about the evidence that suggested that he was responsible for the Empire getting in and breaching the security. This completely shocked Morgan and she refused to believe that Hunter would betray the Alliance and that he was simply misunderstood. Penny tried to tell her that they didn't know for sure if it was him, but that there was the possibility. At this point, Morgan started to get scared at the thought and decided to give Penny as much information, knowing that if this was true, she would need to handle it. Morgan told Penny that as far as she knew, Hunter hadn't been back for some time and during the attack he told her he was going to check on something suspicious. She mentioned that he never came back afterwards but she assumed that he was fine. The last time she saw him was after the attack when he said he was going to apologize to Emily and then left.
