Criminal mastermind, vicious killer, caring mother; depending on who you ask, these all aptly describe Morgan Carmine.

Morgan Carmine grew up in an up and coming settlement in Mistral. Daughter of wealthy aristocrats, she lived a life of luxury. She was academically successful as well, earning high marks in formal education, and was the local hunter’s star pupil. This hunter had the amazing ability to sense the future, and could gain an idea of the prospects of someone’s future through contact. His readings of Morgan had only ever been positive, when during the middle of her training he had sensed a terrible evil. One greater than he’d ever felt before. He immediately ceased her training, and told all in the village to be wary of her. Instantly her ideal life fell apart. Bystanders were afraid of her, friends abandoned her, and her family maintained a distant relationship from then on. Alienated from her own village, at age nineteen she travelled to the capital of Mistral to find work as a huntress. Her poor attitude, loose control of her own powers, and violent nature saw her career end as quickly as it started. Still searching for places where her talents would be accepted, she fell into various gangs around Mistral. As her reputation in the criminal underworld grew, so did her arrogance. She staged a coup attempt against the current gang leader, but the group of sympathizers she had gathered were fickle. She was driven out of the gang and the capital for the time being, with only one member of her group remaining by her side. Fed up with attempting to fit in with other groups, she started her own gang, and it slowly became one of the most terrible gangs in Mistral.

During her early criminal career, Morgan was quickly recognized as a deadly fighter and assassin. Nicknamed ‘Bloodstone,’ Morgan’s ability to control the earth she touched gave her the ability to dispatch lesser gangs by herself. Possessing both immense defensive and offensive potential, Morgan’s semblance allowed her to dominate battlefields. And her control over her power only got more precise as she aged. Although her semblance typically allow her to end fights before they even start, don’t believe for a second that her skills outside of it are lax. She is an impressive hand-to-hand fighter, and can handle most blunt weapons and small knives effectively, alongside some significant gun skill.

Almost universally, Morgan is regarded as a monster by those outside her circle. A hardened shell of a woman who is capable of committing mass murder without a second thought. While on the surface these claims are true, those inside her small gang experience a entirely different side of her. Morgan is unique compared to the typical selfish, greedy gang leaders of her kingdom. She built her gang off a sense of love, belonging, and mutual respect instead of fear. Every member of the gang is a misfit of sorts, and knowing the feeling of being ostracized motivates Morgan to care for and look after them. To the older members of the gang, she’s a trustworthy friend who consistently listens to their wants and needs. To the younger members she is a loving maternal figure, with the relationship between her and Lilac being especially close. So close infact, that Morgan and Lilac refer to each other as mother and daughter respectively. The difference between the treatment of those in her gang and those outside it are night and day.
