Appearance: Morwyn is a but mature woman with a benevolent smile and scruffy black hair that she keeps in check with simple knotted kerchief. If she possessed the requisite fetishes, Morwyn would be able to assume the shapes of a pony, raven, or fox.
Mark: The colour silver.
Rough Background: Morwyn comes from a long-line of Folk Witches, being trained by her mother in the arts midwifery and herbcraft from her earliest years before being fostered to one of her aunts on her thirteenth birthday to begin her apprenticeship in earnest.
During the 10 years that she studied under her Aunt, young Morwyn increased her knowledge of the mundane and magical healing arts and was initiated into the mystery of Flight. At the end of her training, the young folk witch gathered her things and returned to her mother’s cottage only to find that the older woman had died the previous autumn.
Unfamiliar with her mother’s coven, Morwyn traveled to the nearby county of Flintshire in the hopes of establishing herself as a herbwife/midwife in that growing community. Unfortunately, business was slow and Morwyn suffered terrible hardships, initiating herself into Shapeshifter just to survive the bitter winters. Since that first rough year, Morwyn’s practice has taken off despite her relative youth and she now enjoys a small, but loyal clientele.
Goals: While Morwyn would probably say her main goal is to get her mother to stop nagging her, she would be upset if the ghost were destroyed or imprisoned and rather enjoys the company – most of the time. Morwyn would also like to learn more about her father (something her mother actively discourages), having often heard hushed whispers of his supernatural origins (he could just as easily have been a married man or the village idiot, of course). Likewise, while Morwyn politely disregards her mother’s requests that she join a coven, the young witch has found herself envying the young mothers she treats and might be interested in obtaining a child either via adoption or the old-fashioned way - though she might find an apprentice/familiar an acceptable substitute?
