Background
Morrigan was the eldest daughter of a backwater doctor and his nurse wife before an injured Jedi who came to them for aid detected her potential. She was in fourth year of training as the chosen Padawan of Jedi Knight Carolus Fenn when Order 66 was initiated. They were investigating a slave trafficking syndicate with a detachment of troopers on an off world when Order 66 was initiated. The troopers succeeded in assassinating her Master, but not before he hid her away in carbonite to keep her safe and avoid detection. The only thing she has to remember him by is his damaged lightsaber hilt and its shattered crystal that she awoke with, unable to remember how it wound up in her possession.
1. How did you discover your force sensitivity?
When the still Padawan Carolus arrived on her parent's doorstep begging assistance, he was still being pursued by the people who had wounded him. Morrigan was too young to understand much of what was happening, but when the terrifying men showed up sometime later searching for the man in her home, she understood there was danger. As these men forced their way into her parent's home, Morrigan shouted to their leader that the man they were looking for was not here. Despite making it into the same room as the wounded Padawan, it was as though they could not see him.
2. Describe a moment where you fell prey to your moral weakness or experienced a tragedy/horror that still haunts you.
Order 66. Morrigan wrestles with the bitterness, rage, anger, and resentment she feels towards all of those who would participate in such an atrocity. Unable to release these emotions, Morrigan believes that channeling these negative emotions in a positive way will help her find some peace.
3. How did you come to join the NJO?
The carbonite cell Morrigan was trapped in got loaded on to a freighter with the slaves to be shipped off, but due to the chaos following Order 66, the freighter she was on was forced to be abandoned as derelict in an out of the way place in the galaxy to be retrieved at a later date. It was discovered recently by a ship that happened to have Jedi Master Gamel on board. After awakening he directed her to the NJO where she met Master Tionne.
4. Name one NPC your character has a strong connection with. This could be a family member, a friend, a work contact, or a bitter rival.
Freshly unfrozen from her carbonite cell, Morrigan's closest connection is with her new Master, Tionne Solusar. With everyone she ever knew gone, Morrigan feels isolated and knows she needs to make connections, or even better: a friend. If only someone would reach out.
5. [Optional] Describe a pivotal moment in your life where you demonstrated your moral strength despite adversity.
When the time came to choose between staying with her parents to become a doctor or departing to become a Jedi, Morrigan left under heavy protests from her family. Despite her young age, she'd felt she'd had an extremely powerful spiritual experience with the force and a connection with the man her parents healed. She felt her destiny calling.
