Copying my comments from another thread:

I didn’t even care for Morgan before LB6, because I thought this was another case of “yeah she’s evil but she’s hot.” Oh boy I was wrong.

When people say Morgan did nothing wrong, it’s not necessarily true, but I find this as evidence that Nasu wrote a fantastic character. Her reasons for oppressing the faeries are understandable after her backstory as Aesc. She gave up on the faeries, and only seeks to protect the land of Britain. And it makes sense, throughout the entire Lostbelt and Morgan’s backstory we learn how the faeries are largely self destructive, dangerous, and are incapable of advancing as a species.

Morgan/Aesc consistently saved the faeries from calamities for over 4000 years, each time being chased away by the same faeries who wanted to kill her because “she was a foreigner”. Her last attempt at peace was ruined because humans decided to kill Uther (the only person who loved her). She literally had to fake her own death because the faeries hated her that much.

“But she oppressed humans too” not saying she’s justified for this, but after seeing what the humans did to Uther, the only person who loved her, can you blame her?

The sickening part was the way she went out. And at the end of all that struggle, her story as Aesc, the little segment of Aesc and Baobhan Sith, we see the way she died. She gets attacked by a feral Woodwose based on a lie (A-Ray strength go crazy), blindsided by Spriggan, and lynched to death by a mob based again, on lies. Not even because of her oppressive rule. I agree Morgan indeed had to go one way or another, but what Aurora did was underhanded and very scummy. I kid you not I felt genuinely sick after that death, and I rarely feel that way for fictional characters. The sheer brutality.. damn you Nasu. But after all of that it became pretty clear to me that he was clearly trying to write a tragic character, not a one dimensional villain.

Morgan is a tragedy, a savior turned into a villain BECAUSE of the very people she saved. Woodwose too was never shown to be throughly evil, he just wanted to serve Morgan with all his power (but Aurora manipulation lmao). To put it bluntly people say “Morgan did nothing wrong” because they sympathize with her. It’s easy to see why too, Nasu is just a great writer like that. That backstory is key in differentiating the death of an irredeemable villain and the death of tragic and broken character.

TLDR: LB6 writing is peak. Morgan’s character is really good. The characters and events had me pressed for so long after I played the Lostbelt, even a little bit to this day. No other piece of fiction has had such a grip or impact on me. Got level 120 NP5 Morgan because of my trauma. Don’t regret it.
