Currently, Morrigan is a member of Del Cenere Gang, ranked as El Corazón in the tribunal of The Ashen Ring. She currently holds 2 occupations, Pulge Verde Tier 2 and Barber Tier 1.
This divination and nature based Witch, one plant aficionado hails from the sprawling and stormy rocky mountains, where she was apart of a cult based on the three-faced-goddess. Before her first shift, her grandmother, the elderly matron of the pack was murdered by a jealous, lowly male cult member in front of Morrigan. He intended the youth to be his original sacrifice, but Morrigan’s grandmother saved her life, ultimately sacrificing her own.
Stealing into the night without anything but the bone dagger used to slaughter her dear grandmother clenched between her teeth, Morrigan escaped with her life, but just barely. The cult member tracked her for many miles before giving up and covering up the scene of his crime, pinning all the blame onto young Morrigan who was no longer there to defend herself.
She stumbled upon a band on travelers with no affiliation to any local packs, and was permitted to join their group. They taught her how to shift, cared for her, and mentored her – taking pity on the terrified young girl who they found bedraggled and thin and traumatized. They discovered she had a surprising amount of plant knowledge and so she was mentored further in medicinal plants by an elderly woman within the band. Another male taught her the basics of fishing and horsemanship, just enough so that she was able to ride and control her own mount, Prudence. She was given this beautiful mare on loan, but unfortunately was separated from the travelers in a terrible winters storm.
And so, this is how Morrigan ends up at Del Cenere Gangs borders, looking for a new place to call home. Eager to prove herself, Morrigan put in the work over a years time to rise through the ranks and prove her membership to be an asset, and wears her title, The Priestess with pride. The ambitious coywolf is aiming to become one of The Ashen Ring through hard work and leadership. Ringing in her second ring, the prideful Priestess has ascended to the tribunal, as hoped.
In mid-summer of 2021 Morrigan birthed two brown puppies, named Honeychile and Beignet.

Coloration Palette
Description:
Morrigans coloring is unusual and quite distinct. Her mothers pelt was of a typical coyotes, thought she had mis matching eyes in blue and green. Her father was a melanistic coyote. Her main pelt color is IRONSIDE GRAY with a lighter CELESTE color staining her cheeks and coloring all of underside and the tip of her tail. This is the only light color on her body, the darkest being DUNE. This color marks her in two elbow-length ‘ gloves ‘ and one knee high ‘ boot ‘, the other leg remaining unmarked. She has a wide stripe of TAUPE flowing down her back, though it stops just short of the base of her tail. Like her mother, she has the tell tale pockets of DUNE underneath each eye to brighten up her eyes, YELLLOW METAL becoming a nose stripe between each of them. Her eyes are a curious color, her right deep lavender and blue, SCAMPI and her left a dusty fuchsia, BOUQUET.
Optime Hair: Her hair is longer now as well and no longer sits in the half pony tail of youth, but flows loosely in long dark curls with some braids woven in for texture, a few beads here and there for decoration. It falls past her butt now, and requires daily maintenance. During the summertime months it is common to see fresh flower blooms pinned to her locks as well. She moves gracefully and suredly, her gait confident and purposeful. The shade is warm chocolate brown where her roots and mid-length is, then it darkens into a very deep and dark brown, near black halfway down to the ends.

After coming to the Gang at 10 months old early spring 2020, Morrigan has grown leaps and bounds into her role within Del Cenere. At first the young Witch was nervous and unsure of herself, and unsure of others as well. Over time Morrigan found peace in working her way up the ranks and losing herself in her work. As her relationships began to blossom, the coyote hybrid relaxed and settled into a niche – crafting things from plants and sewing up others wounds.
Feeling free and at ease, she has began to practise her witchcraft more openly and no longer hides any knowledge of what she does or what diety she believes in. Furthermore, she has now exposed others to such ideals and has opened herself up to serving the citizens of the Gang, in health and spiritually. Sitting at the upper echelon of Del Cenere’s ranks, Morrigan enjoys taking charge in her tasks and isn’t afraid to ask others for assistance – she’s grown rather extroverted upon reaching her second birthday.
Smart, emotionally intelligent and empathetic are just a few of her traits – Morrigan also has an excellent memory of spoken conversation and is able to refer back to these details frequently in her areas of study.
Packs: Salsola. Has heard through the grapevine that they keep slaves, doesn't agree with it. Knows vaugley of Salsola attacking Inferni.
Species: Coyotes are a superior race, wolves are violent brutes, not intelligent.
Non-Luperci: Doesn't understand and hardly thinks of it.
Gender: Is quick to judge/be harsh to strange males, very pleasant with everybody she is familiar and in good standing with.
Color: Nah.
Sexuality: Bisexual, leaning more hetero based.
Age: Likes them a bit older.

There is a second altar near the fireplace inside her house, that is decorated with carefully pressed flowers, various pretty stones, dark cloth and skulls of differing animal types. Scented candles are melted onto the stone alter inside.
1.7 Spirituality 1.2
Origin
Hecate to Luperci, and to the cult ‘ Daughters of Midnight ‘ is a goddess of many things. She is both the maiden and the mother, as well as the crone. Her three faces represent her role as guardian of the crossroads, and naturally she presides over magic, the moon, death, dreams and all things touched by darkness. Contrarily, she also presides over fertility and childbirth, and being bountiful with new life and new growth.
Morrigan believes The Mother is responsible for all things and therefore is her general deity with no others to interfere. The Mother’s energy is present in everything living or dead and can be called upon and honoured in many different ways. In this aspect, she is not restricted to specific rituals and can practise her magic in whatever method feels best or inspires her.
She has grown farther away from referring to the Goddess as Hecate, and prefers to just say “ The Mother “ when invoking her name.
Substances
Generally has a stock of opium, cannabis, mushrooms. Uses all three to have ' spiritual experiences '.
Children: Honeychile Perrin Du Lac, Beignet Perrin Du Lac.
Morrigan was not familiar with her father, as they kept the breedable males shuttered away in an unknown location. Her mother however was the leader of the cult, “ The Mother “ out of the three faced goddess positions. A witch in her prime, she was strong and willful, not to be trifled with. The entire cult followed her without question, to ask questions was to commit treason. She ruled with an iron hand, and was feared within that territory. Proficient in poisons, any who opposed her found themselves bent over their last meal.
Her grandmother, “ The Crone “, however was much softer. Truly the caring grandparent, she tutored Morrigan gently and consistently, quizzing her on her knowledge daily. Morrigan was forced to mature quickly due to her future responsibilities as “ The Maiden “, whom was next to rule in line when “ The Mother “ passed out of her prime and replaced “ The Crone “. As such, she didn’t have much of a childhood, therefore being able to survive on her own for a little while when she was attacked and had to flee.
Siblings: None that she is aware of, although after her departure more siblings could have been born.
Peony Breaithwaite: Her closest and dearest friend, Morrigan has acted as midwife for Peony before and even named their daughter, Daphne, after her grandmother who laid her life down for Morrigan.
Sugabear Perrin Du Lac: Now a constant companion to the Witch, this Witch Doctor has formed a close and loving relationship. They had an accidental litter, but Sugabear is involved and is in a polyamorous relationship with Morrigan.
Sean Butler: Morrigan loves her friend Sean dearly. Around him, she acts less mature and more her age. The two enjoy getting up to mischief and pulling pranks while cheering each other on through most things. Sean, Morrigan and Sugabear had a threesome *gasp* and probably will again....
