Morgan Deschain/Tropes

A-G
Absurdly Sharp Blade: She’s a fan of deadly, razor sharp blades, preferring her personal black katana. Her sword is so sharp, that it spit the coupler between an engine car and the rest of a train in a single, well placed strike. When push comes to shove, she can further improve the sword’s cutting power by fueling it with magic. When she does that, even the aura the sword seems to give off his stupidly sharp.

Badass Longcoat: Wears one as part of her typical outfit. If she chooses, the lower half can be un-zipped and removed to make a badass jacket.

Break the Cutie: Her backstory in a nutshell. The end result of all that breaking? A stoic badass persona masking the frightened child, hellbent on taking all that oppression and sorrow out on the one who inflicted it in the first place. The mere mention of what happened to her has led to no less than three accusations of implications of a certain thing...

Dark Is Not Evil: Her magic may be black, purple and embody the nature of what would be considered darkness magic, but the nature of it doesn’t imply a single thing about her personality. In fact, she only uses darker magics because that’s all she has. Defrosting Ice Queen: Word of God states that this trope, coupled with liberally watching Black Rock Shooter  are some of the biggest reasons the character exists. In-universe, she gradually warms up to the concept of a family, although one must really feel bad for the ones who have to help her defrost. Fragile Speedster: She’s lightning quick and can dish out quite a bit of damage, but her most glaring weakness is that, especially compared to her opponents, she lacks the means to withstand a massive amount of damage.==H-P== Meaningful Name/Shout Out: Given the author’s love of legends and stories of old, this comes standard. The name Morgan pays homage to the mythological sorceress  Morgan (or Morgana) Le Fey. Her surname, however, doesn’t have an obvious mythological connection, instead referencing the protagonist of the Dark Tower novels by Stephen King, who is said in-story to be a descendant of King Arther, Morgan Le Fey’s half-brother and legendary British king.

Q-Z
Sacrificed Basic Skill For Awesome Training: Although calling her training awesome in any capacity would be the hight of folly, thanks to Jadow’s “parenting", she’s as dangerous as they come, but has a hard time expressing any emotion.

What Is This Thing You Call Love?: Most of her character arc is devoted to her figuring out the answer.
