Morrigan

Morrigan Aensland (モリガン・アーンスランド Morigan ānsurando) is a fictional character in the video game series Darkstalkers. She first appeared in Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (Vampire: The Night Warriors in Japan). She is an anti-hero and a main protagonist alongside Demitri Maximoff. In the series main canon, Morrigan's father, Belial Aensland, had split her power into three. Later in the events of Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire, Jedah Dohma would find part of this power and give it a body as Lilith.

Morrigan was originally voiced by the late Yayoi Jinguji through out the series and in various crossovers until Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. She would later be voiced by Rie Tanaka in Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds onward in Japanese dub, just as her primary English voice provider is now Siobhan Flynn since Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as well.

Morrigan is a beautiful woman with long straight sea green hair, sea green eyes and black bat-like wings with purple membrane on her back and the sides of her head. Her bangs are styled to resemble a hime cut which was a sign often used in Japanese media to indicate a woman was rich or of high status. The outside of her wings are black and the inside of her wings are either purple or hot pink mixed with purple. She wears a sleeveless black leotard with feathers at the trim that mostly reveals her cleavage with a heart-shaped cut-out under the chest, purple or magenta/hot pink tights with bat patterns, light rose-coloured gloves that cover the middle finger, and black calf-length heeled boots.

She can transform into a variety of different outfits and will remove her wings to appear more human. Her Midnight Bliss transformation is a weird sailor doll thing that seems to have a hair style that might be ojou curls.

In Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix or Pocket Fighter in Japanese, Morrigan has seven disguises in the game as three of her disguises were used in her default win animations, her individual ending and the ending credits and is tied to Street Fighter's Ibuki who had seven disguises. Her four disguises is used to attack her opponent (eg: a golfer (as she wields a golf club to smack the opponents), a maid, a waitress and a nurse (who wields various hospital items such as a giant injection, a tray and a wheelchair which she used to ram her opponents)). The other disguises are used as explained above which Morrigan wears her casual outfit as a human seen in her default win animation and her ending where she dates with Ken Masters until his wife Eliza had caught them and lastly is a pink karate gi where she poses as Dan Hibiki after she deflected his Shinku Gadoken towards the latter with a golf club in her golfer disguise.

Morrigan Aensland is a succubus who was born in 1678 in a region of Scotland. Belial foresaw that Makai would be exposed to the crisis of perishing soon. Someone, a great Life Form, would be needed to maintain the unbalanced world of Makai. He foresaw that one with such power would not be born in the family of Aensland for another 1,200 years. Knowing this, he decided to leave the future of the Aensland family in Morrigan's hands. To Belial, the future of the Aensland family was the same as the future of Makai.

Morrigan was a very special Succubus, even within all of the Darkstalkers. She was born as an S Class noble. But at that time, roughly 300 years ago, a struggle for power had already started. Various battles had occurred in various locations. It was unacceptable for a Succubus child to be given rights to power at the time. The problems didn't end there either. Morrigan had no way to control the enormous powers that she held within. If she were to be left alone, she would destroy herself and the land around her. Belial, her adoptive father and head of the Aensland House, split her soul in three to protect her; one he kept within himself, and another in a pocket dimension. Morrigan grew up without knowing this. She found her life in the Aensland castle dull and visited the human world time and time again to look for some kind of fun. One night, she was drawn to the strange power permeating from Pyron and ventured into the human world again.

After she came back from the human world, she was told that Belial died and she was the next successor to the throne of the Aensland family. Due to Belial's death, the 1/3 power he split from Morrigan during her childhood returns to merge with her. Although she is rightfully the ruler of Makai, she avoids her duties and continues her life like before. But when Jedah created the Majigen, she and her castle are pulled into Jedah's dimension. Sensing Lilith, the now sentient remainder of her soul sealed off, and released by Jedah, Morrigan set off hoping to find some sort of enjoyment. After meeting with Lilith, she was finally able to return to her true self when the both of them fused back together into one.

Initially it was left uncertain if Morrigan made peace with her her fate to be Makai's ruler after the events of Vampire Savior, but various media such as the crossover series confirms that she has accepted it.

After the events of Vampire Savior, it's likely Morrigan who defeats Jedah, ending his evil reign of terror over both the Human World and the Makai, with the Fetus of God and the Demon Dimension dissipating.

Beautiful, sexy, confident, conceited, and playful, Morrigan may be called many things given that she is a succubus, but she is not truly evil despite her heritage as a demon of the Makai realm. Instead she is friendly and approachable, perhaps in part due to her frequent visits to the material world to pursue her hedonistic tendencies and has found herself willingly aligned with the forces of good on many occasions. Morrigan is always out to satisfy her hunger and will often shirk her responsibilities as the current head of the Aensland estate to find something more engaging. Morrigan is also known for her love of battle and chaos. Getting excited at the prospects of potential trouble that may arise.

In the events of Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers 3 once Morrigan and Lilith fuse back into one, she senses something inside her has changed. In her own ending, she gains a more cheerful and brighter view on the world and feels like she can do anything. In Lilith's ending she feels the desire to wear the Isis Ring, the item worn by those who become the Master of Aensland, and seems to accept her role as ruler of Makai even if she doesn't understand why.

Morrigan also has a vain side to her, which is sometimes shown in some crossover media. Getting jealous of the likes of Chun-Li and even Lilith in Pocket Fighter simply because they were called "beautiful" and "cute." In Capcom vs. SNK 2, she shows irritation towards Mai when she calls herself "the fairest of them all."

Being known for being born as an S Class demon, Morrigan possesses a vast amount of powers and unique skills and traits; some ranging from teleporting, flying, reshaping her wings into spikes or blades. She can conveniently form a buckler out of her wings to protect herself from oncoming attacks if need be. Many of Morrigan's attacks are strong and can be extremely lethal to her enemies utilizing her own way of hand-to-hand she can do traditional punches and kicks and can use mystic abilities like soul attacks against her adversaries, such as the "Soul Fist". Some of her other traits are accelerated healing, speed, and the ability to create a physical mirror image of herself to aid her in battle. She can use some of her bats as well which are a part of her outfit, and can utilize them to swarm her enemies.

Some of Morrigan's unique powers is the ability to change clothes and hair in an instant and she can steal energy from her adversaries by kissing them. Morrigan's able to sense the magical energy inside a person and can usually see how powerful they are, she also has high reflexes being able to dodge things quickly. Morrigan's stamina isn't invincible, however, she's able to withstand a lot of damage from enemies and usually any attacks that are manipulative or spell related are nullified by her own natural abilities.

As a succubus, Morrigan does need stimulation in order to secrete the liquid that maintains her life force, if she were kept away from any source of excitement, she'd die after two days by lack of feeding. Unlike similar Darkstalkers, her lifetime is finite and her longevity is stated not to be as extensive as expected to be.

It is generally said that the Succubus race absorbs the spirit of the opposite sex and uses it as their own energy source. But the succubi that live in the Aensland family are slightly different. They create a special secretion liquid in their body when they are either physically or mentally stimulated. They use this liquid to maintain their life. If one were to be trapped inside a small secluded area, she would die within two days due to the lack of stimulus.

This is because the liquid needed to maintain her life can't be secreted. But to make up for this, they have become able to look into the dreams of others. When no stimulus was given, they evolved other ways to look for excitement. When a creature dreams, a special secretion liquid is formed in the brain. A succubus can take this liquid from the outside. Those who have been robbed feel a strange feeling, as if one's dream was completely taken away. This is quite different from not having any memory of a dream. This liquid, which the succubus robbed, is dissolved into the body of the succubus and is composed.
