Hi this blog is based of an old fanfic where Kirby becomes a Star Warrior it takes place after the defeat of NME (Nightmare). I was 15, but now 29 and I am determined to finish it now! This is my own fanfic based around the anime and story lore giving more deepth to the characters in the anime universe of Kirby. Mainly featuring Kirby, Meta Knight, and yes even King Dedede is going to have a redemption arc. I hope you're all ready and willing to join me for the ride as the story unravels.
I said I wanted to go all out this year and so far I'm keeping up with that! I won't be able to draw the next few days but after that I wanna get a lot more attacks and revenges done!

And I had to draw my fave rarepair (Metalor!) sp count this as a sneak peek of their Starlittale designs.
Annd this was drawn from pure memory.

Okie so Deltarune Chapter Five spoilers onwards…
Aqua was so cute OH MY GODD?? She is sooo precious and ahhhhhh!!!! The girl ever! (I also like Seth and the secret boss but I didn’t remember their designs that well-)
And Orange!! If there’s another favorite that’s NOT Flowery, it’s her! (And I added Flowery cuz I remember his design and I Lovedd him! (Platonically of course))
Flower Man was a banger of a theme, and damnnn!
I listened to these while drawing this whole thing. On loop. Especially vocal covers.
Even if broken I am more than glass
^Fave line in the song
And Kris’ black rose? Foreshadowing? I wonder if the sixth chapter will be MORE HEARTBREAKING.
(I NEVER WILL DO A WEIRD ROUTE. I DONT HAVE THE HEART.)
Also, Ralsei’s flower crown has thorns. I’d like to say it symbolizes the hidden thorns of his character.
hey all. i’m devastated to have to do this, but after multiple direct attempts to communicate my boundaries and my desire to be left alone, i have no choice but to make this full public post in the hope of obtaining peace.
it goes without saying, but despite the severity of this post and the discomfort and pain this experience has caused to me and others, i do not under any circumstance want to see that pain and discomfort forwarded; do not harass or approach this person at all.
for the last three years, user nokk0 (recently renamed to verostruck on discord) has been a serial thief of my work. this includes 1:1 traces of my art, complete recreations of my tumblr posts, lifting my character design elements (including word-for-word recreations of my character lore), copying of my personal presentation online, and continuing to seek my work on alternative social medias after a tumblr block.
on top of this, she is an incredibly prolific art-tracer who has not only been stealing my work, but the work of at least half a dozen other artists for the entire duration of her time in the kirby OC tumblr community
since february this year (2026), after i pulled her up on tracing one of my comics and once again requested that she stop copying my work, she has been block evading me on tumblr and joining discord servers i am in in order to continue copying my work, as well as to find and trace gift art drawn for me by my friends. while i have shouldered my own discomfort at her behaviour for many years, this is a line i cannot sit back and watch be crossed.
i will keep this as brief as possible, but because of the sheer length of time this has been going on and volume of stolen content, there’s a lot to cover. be advised that even this does not include everything. this experience has been a gradual boiling pot of pain and dehumanisation for me, watching my work and my character be stolen repeatedly and increasingly over years, while someone else proudly claimed it as their own within my own community spaces.
i will predominantly be addressing theft of my own work and crossing of my stated boundaries. aside from one single case- which i received explicit permission to include- i will NOT be directly addressing any of the art she has copied from other artists.
however, while collecting evidence of the theft that affected me, i saw traced artwork belonging to multiple mutuals of mine, and a handful of artists i do not know personally.
if you are or have been an artist in the kirby or kirby OC community between 2024-2026, you may also find your work has been copied. none of the copied works i observed on Nokk0’s blog were ever credited to their original artist.
i would also like to acknowledge up front that while it is incredibly rude to treat another artist as a free resource, an amount of inspiration, copying, and even tracing of other artists' work is completely understandable, especially in beginner artists. just make sure you credit them directly with a link to their original work, and stop referencing them if they request you stop. i understand that, especially in a fandom, you absolutely cannot expect to own any broad idea, theme, or story beat. i understand that admiration and inspiration can often manifest itself a lot like copying until the artist finds their creative feet, and that an artist’s biggest fans can also be their biggest copiers.
the problem here is not that inspiration was taken or even that tracing occurred. the problem is that Nokk0 has not only traced or referenced almost every art piece she has ever posted and claimed full credit, but that she continued to do this behaviour with me in particular after i have laid out my boundaries and told her multiple times to stop.
it is clear to me that Nokk0 understands this behaviour is wrong, and yet she continues to do it.
a summary of the following evidence will follow.
1:1 copies of my art, art gifted to me, or my posts
timeline of events including my direct communication with Nokk0 informing her multiple times that i was not okay with this level of copying
evidence that despite unmistakeably clear communication of my boundaries, Nokk0 continues to trace from me and block evades to continue copying my work
evidence of Nokk0 duplicating every element of my character design, storytelling, and even my social media layouts
☆ evidence of tracing & copying art, block evasion, and timeline of events from 2024-2026
i would like to precede this by noting that Nokk0 is a traditional-medium exclusive artist. this means that it is likely most “tracing” occurred via the eyeballing method. this form of referencing is often totally okay when you are using free-use stock images, but can quickly become theft when you are using another artist’s creative work, especially uncredited and claiming it as your own. i have said many times- both on my blog and to Nokk0 directly- that i personally am not okay with my work being treated as free uncredited reference material, after which she continued to do it for a span of years.
in many cases Nokk0 also makes clear attempts to obscure the similarities to the work she is copying by flipping all or parts of the work horizontally, frankensteining multiple different art pieces together, or replacing a character with another (ie: an oc into a canon character, Meta Knight into Galacta Knight, etc). nonetheless, the derivative nature of these art pieces is so quickly recognisable that i and others have immediately clocked not only that the work was based stylistically on mine, but which exact work of mine was copied and where.
once again, i will be focusing on only infringement on my content and crossing of my own boundaries. i do not know the boundaries of other artists whose work has been copied, and i won’t speak for them.
evidence of Nokk0’s serial tracing of my artwork dates over three years, to early 2024. there is no content on her blog prior to this timeframe, and in fact her first published work is fanart for my OC.
around this time, Nokk0 also spent a lot of time in my tumblr inbox, reassurance seeking about exactly how much of my work she was allowed to copy. i told her, repeatedly, that while i was flattered to be an inspiration i was not okay with comprehensive or 1:1 recreations of my work.
i’m including only excerpts, but these asks can be publicly found on my blog. the excerpts below come from here specifically, where the entire ask response and additional comments can be read in full.
> the only thing i ask (and i'll clarify that i do not think this is what you are doing at all, what you suggested is fine!) is that folks don't take or use a 1:1 copy of everything in entirety of what i'm doing. designs, lore, storytelling quirks, etc etc, all at once.
> the corrupted signature is just one part of my story, and many folks are already using that idea! it's only plagiarism when it's many parts copied all together in my opinion.
at this time, in May 2024, i believed this was clear enough.
this interaction was before i had observed any tracing. i thought that what Nokk0 was interested in doing was writing a story using one of my general headcanons and the idea of a falling star based character- definitely not things i can claim ownership over.
however, for the next year and a half, Nokk0 proceeded to trace or reference dozens of my works and lift design/lore elements from my OC for her own. i have presented a select few below in chronological order.
finally, in early January 2026, Nokk0 posted a comic that included panels copied from mine. she posted this in a public kirby oc discord server we share, Stargate.
not only are the layouts and panel compositions lifted from my comic, the speech bubbles and specific unique dialogue style i use for Morpho and the comic’s narrative are being directly copied, with Nokk0’s own character inserted in my character’s place.
on good faith, i assumed that Nokk0 did not mean harm by this. i understand that it can be hard to know where the line between inspiration and copying lies, and that every artist can have a different boundary on this topic.
i replied to her in the Stargate server, hoping to restate my boundaries clearly and without room for misunderstanding. i remained respectful, requesting only that she change her behaviour regarding my work moving forward and hoping she would do so once she understood how it made me feel. [transcript below, screenshot here]
> hi Nokk0!! i'm well aware you and others have been referencing my work for a while. despite previously stating that i don't like people doing so, i've been very patient and polite about it these past few years, because i understand some folks are still growing as artists and discovering their own footing! i also know that it's not being done with ill intent or maliciousness, and is predominantly coming from a place of inspiration or admiration.
> however this is a panel by panel eyeball of my comic, inclusive of panel compositions and themes, right down to the dialogue-style. the comet panel is copied from another comic of mine, which was giftart for a friend. i don't like this kind of theft or inspiration, so i would rather you don't copy my work in this way!
> i've actually been planning for months to make a public announcement about this to clarify my boundaries on this kind of thing, because it is being so pervasively experienced by myself and other members of this community. i deeply appreciate that folks are inspired by my art, but people have been tracing, colour-picking, and stealing my creative work for the two years i've been in this community, and- as you can imagine!- it makes me deeply uncomfortable and upset to have my work treated this way.
unfortunately, this was not the case. when Nokk0 still continued to post traced art of mine into February, i blocked her on tumblr.
within the month she changed her name on discord to be more reminiscent of my character’s name. she edited her online presentation to match mine- such as lifting large amounts of text and stylisation directly from my artfight and tumblr masterposts.
within another month she had joined a second discord server i co-moderate in order to continue tracing my artwork, as well as to search for gift art drawn by my friends to also trace and insert her character into.
to this day she continues to copy and reference my artwork- for tracing, compositions, ideas, and dialogues. she continues to make complete recreations of whole entire posts, and to steal my character’s storywork and flavour text 1:1. with every new update i make on my own tumblr, she changes her character’s lore to match anything newly revealed in mine.
she also continues to trace and copy the work of other artists in the kirby oc community.
all of the following examples of her work are dated after i once again asked her to stop copying my work (January 7th 2026), and after i blocked her on tumblr. it includes referencing images that i did not post until after i blocked Nokk0, which suggests she block evaded to find them.
after being blocked by me on tumblr, Nokk0 joined the Kirby OC Tournament (KOCT) discord server, which i co-moderate and have a full character page for starstruck in, on 28 March 2026.
within days she was posting copies of work that i had only ever posted on that server, and which could be found nowhere else.
additionally, she began copying gift-art done for me by friends. the below example is an art piece posted by my friend Aseuki (included with permission) of our two ocs- Phemus and starstruck- playing together.
this art piece was posted only in the KOCT server where it is tagged with starstruck’s full name and on Aseuki’s offsite toyhouse, and never on tumblr.
this was the first time i noticed Nokk0 copying gift art made for me by others, but since then i have discovered numerous other examples of her copying gift art and replacing starstruck with one of her own characters. as this makes it clear that the issue of her tracking my online activity no longer affects only me, and is in fact directly impacting people who did me the kindness of drawing a gift for me, i resolved to make this post in June 2026.
to the other artists whose gift art for me she copied in this way, i am deeply sorry.
☆ evidence of character theft, 2024-2026
in addition to tracing artwork and copying posts, Nokk0 has stolen almost every aspect of my singular oc, starstruck dee, scraping my work with near 100% coverage. my visual design work, storytelling work, and direct text have all been copied by her.
pictured: 1) an excerpt from my 2024 reference sheet for starstruck dee, my only published kirby oc, who has remained broadly unchanged since her debut.
throughout 2024-2025, when we were both active in the OC tourney, she made several sona drawings that were color-picked from and traced over starstruck, including traces of gift art of starstruck by others. this character was so similar in design to starstruck that many folks assumed that it was starstruck until i told them otherwise.
in late 2025 and through to 2026, she has progressively redesigned her primary OC Fal to increasingly closely resemble starstruck.
in the second design, Nokk0 copies only starstruck’s emotive cheek stars/constellations, but makes them rainbow as a point of difference. i knew this was copied from me, but tolerated it in the hope she would grow out of it eventually.
by the third design, finalised in february 2026 after i spoke to and blocked her, multiple iconic design elements from starstruck have been copied exactly. her blue eyes with a pink heart at the bottom and a white pupil, her golden star-buckle design (positioned in the centre of a collar that now recalls its location on her bow and used to hide a star-shaped scar), her blush and pink round cheeks covered in freckles, the ‘peak’ of the heart shaped marking in the centre of her forehead, and her facial stylisation/silhouette. the emotive cheek stars are now an identical rendition of starstruck’s; white with a glowing pink border. a huge proportion of Nokk0’s art of Fal in this redesign has his head traced from artwork of starstruck.
since i spoke to her in January 2026, this behaviour has seemed to only escalate. after blocking her in February 2026, there have been countless examples of her continuing to copy my work for Fal and her newly debuted OC, G.
in fact, almost every fact she has posted about any of her characters first appeared in my work for starstruck.
to save time here i will use paraphrased text summaries of a selection (not all) of the traits that she copied from my work, but you can find the original copies listed on nokk0's toyhouse [backup screenshot], artfight [backup screenshot, backup screenshot], and many character references and posts on her blog.
as with my other evidence, this is merely a selection of all the work that was stolen.
in many cases Nokk0 copies whole backstories, texts, and design elements from my work-
and portrays them in exactly the same way that i do-
and religiously copies smaller details from my blog, such as songs i posted from my OC playlists, my masterpost layouts, and various presentations of my work across both tumblr and artfight.
to this day, you can find an excerpt from my masterpost, almost entirely unedited, copied onto hers.
this last june she even went so far as to trace a previous pride month artwork of my character (who is a sona, representing my own identities) while copying the exact identities- aroace, xenogender, polyam qpr, a sexless character who does not understand the social structure of romance but none the less is happily able to date multiple people- onto her own OC. identities her character only developed after i spoke publicly about my own identity and pronouns.
☆ conclusion
Nokk0’s pattern of behaviour is no longer simple inspiration, or even art theft.
she has followed me closely for over three years, copying almost every creative piece i have ever posted in this community, from my art to my designs, my lore to my blog layouts, even my rules and my content warnings. the additional copying of my othered experience as an autistic and chronically disabled adult- an experience that i portrayed on my oc starstruck with deep intentionality- and the copying of my queer identities, was truly unspeakably uncomfortable.
to treat not only ALL of my creative work, but also my own lived and experienced identity, as though it is stock reference material is horrifically dehumanising and creepy. tracking my art, and my friend’s art, through servers i am in is wilful and intentional block evasion, and purposeful disrespect of my plainly stated boundaries.
as i have already tried multiple times and failed to encourage her to change her behaviour and respect the wishes of others around her, i do not believe that any amount of discussion with Nokk0 individually will change these habits. because of the extraordinary depths of the theft and total lack of original input from her, i no longer believe there is any way for Nokk0 to revitalise her existing characters or her existing work into anything original.
not only has this been unsettling and agonising to me personally, but Nokk0’s behaviour is to the detriment of this creative community. once i began work on this post, i learned that i am far from the only person being affected.
i must speak out. for myself, for my friends whose work was stolen simply because it contained my character. and i must speak out to protect the many other artists in this community Nokk0 has stolen from while proudly claiming all the praise for work that has never been her own.
Gonna spilt up my art fight posts so far by fandom- So, we’ll do Kirby first!
First one- For @voidburgers, a Sha-Dee!
And then a friendly fire for @kirbybecomesastarwarrior and their OC Dame Guinevere!
I really wanna ramble on this one because in the process of drawing this whole thing, I was delving into the fan-lore for all of their characters and I’m INVESTED. Y’all really gotta check it out! All the fairytale/Aurthurian legend theming scratches such an itch in my brain.
I was also listening to a mashup of Lovedrug and Headlock while drawing her, and at least to me, the uneducated since I couldn’t find a ton on this oc on their tumblr. So- Linking it here!
I also took a picture of just the card without the lighting and I’ll include it here too.
As his name suggest, he is character on based the story "Orpheus and Eurydice" in greek Mythology. In KBASW AU, he's very much the scapegoat of Uther's cruel regime. As a result he is a very marginalized character in throughout the Gamble Galaxy. But, there has to be more to his story.
Character/Personality overview: Orpheus from the Greek Mythology, Flick from Bugs Life, Paris from Homer's Iliad, and Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Character theme: AJR - Karma
I think I pretty much lad out his character sheet, post here: Sir Orpheus - Papi's original form
He's a much more newer Kirby OC, (well technically he's an AU version of Papi). I plan to write more for him in the future, but for right now I this is good enough.
Narratively he's one of the most unique character: I wrote him in a way that makes you want to feel sorry for him. You can understand why he moved the way he did and he left. But at the same also you can't forget that his action led to Sir Uther in power... leading to a lot of people to suffer...
~
I think that's the last major character sheet update I needed to post (I might do a mini of for Celty & Arthur.) Anyways looks like I'm gonna have to post my ArtFight on day one. But with all things considered it'll be earlier than last her... (July 5th)
Wish me luck guys, I'm gonna be updating info on the page. FINGERS CROSSED EVERYONE!
Sir Uther is the "King Uther" of KBASW AU. However instead of being Arthur's father, he is his cruel mentor. He was the first leader of the GSA, self-righteous and elitist he created the corrupt system that allowed the galaxy to fall into ruin. Where "might was right" and kindness had become a luxury. (this was known as the Dark Era)

Character Synopsis & Sir Orpheus (his mentor and how Uther came to be arrogant) Start of something Great (how he sees Arthur as a tool for his legacy), The Wart of Them all (The prophecy he's trying), Destruction of Destiny (Burns the Roundtable & Executes Guinevere), Disowning of Arthur (Sir Arthur saves baby Meta Knight), The Birth of the Starlight Prince (Accidentally help create his own demise) and No Good Deed Goes Unpunished (Uther's End & what happens to Sol Cleaver)
So this very short excerpt of Sir Uther's role/crimes in KBASW. (it's really short to compared to what I usually write, so please note probably I will probably write/edit more details later.
During his time (the Dark Era), he was known as "The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy," he thought nothing could threatened his rule... That is until Uther, saw Kirby's prophecy (with his birth marking the end of his reign).
It consumed him; he vowed "he would stop at nothing to destroy this barbinger of doom" . However he'd mistaken it for Galacta Knight, which was a reasonable mistake... (which is all he saw in the prophecy) and he had taken his title as "The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy."
And so he had Galacta Knight wrongfully sealed away, along with serval other atrocities: Celestine's Trial, the systematic destruction of Meta Knight squadron, getting Sir Arthur trapped in the underworld, to name a few but somewhere along the way (believing he had changed his fate) the he agrees to assist Icarus in creating more astrals...
SURPRISE, SURPRISE! Messing with forces beyond control and forcefully creating life is a crime against void. And the subject is taken away by Morpho Knight. And on their way out Morpho destorys all the other fountains (of dream) ensure it to be the last astral.
But at least it was successful for they did managed to create a life in fact it maybe the strongest astral to ever exist... it's Kirby! OH KARMA, Yes Uther helped create the very thing that he wanted to destroy... The cycle is complete!
He spent the rest of his days ignoring his duties to hunt down Kirby... with slowly becoming more and more insane, and it was during his fits of madness... he had been assassinated!
And that was the (un) glorious end of Sir Uther. With the damaged he cause still lingering throughout the Gamble Galaxy... and frankly through the entire cast!

Loss of the Sister (Losing the vote for leader/older design) The Toxic Sibling Rivalry , The Matter Regarding Dark Matter, Kitsune Form, Shadowy Heart, Dame Morgan vs. Zan Partizanne (lore a bit out of date), the Last Midnight, Destruction of Destiny & How it all falls down (most recent lore/ most revelant)
There's still few secrets want keep, so this is a brief run down of Dame Morgan's character before she left the GSA, fair warning it's a rather long read (which is about 2,700 words). Anyways, hope you enjoy!
So as the story goes, Dame Morgan started out as one of Sir Uther's apprentices... along side Sir Arthur & Nonsurat. With Arthur and her being the clear stand outs. The both of them ruthlessly vying for the position as the next leader of the GSA.
However it wasn't always like this... when they were cadets she was the front runner & Arthur was the weakest amongst the three.
Uther initially started off with Arthur as his only student, he possessed a rare light magic (like him). And had high expectations for Arthur, however he wasn't showing the results he wanted... his damage out put was a mere fraction of what his was.
Frustrated, and not wanting to waste his time, he got two more to make up the difference and basically used Arthur as the "bad example.” Nonsurat & Morgan weren’t aware, they were brought in as spares to Arthur (this will come back into play later). Since, the both arrived together, Nonsurat & Morgan they ended up sticking together... they while ignored young Arthur.
While it didn't start off with any bad intentions, but after Uther had propped him up as the "weak link" the two of them didn't know how to interact with him. It was incredibly awkward, so out of fear of Sir Uther... they avoided him all together.
They followed Uther's example and had a look of disdain for Arthur any time he couldn't keep up with them.... leading to Arthur’s isolation. Little did both of them know these small actions were slowly piling up...
Everything changed once Arthur had developed "sword beam", (a technique he developed based off of Sir Uther's signature move solar slash, out of pure admiration for his mentor). A move he used to beat her in the "deciding duel" for the position of Uther's right-hand man.
"Sword beam" still in early development, while it blew Morgan out of the water... It was too powerful and it went out of control. Arthur kept blasting away by accident... But Nonsurat (believing Arthur was still attacking Morgan while she was down) jumped into fight him.

Nonsurat: How dare you use a cheap trick to win, fight me instead you coward!?
Arthur *deeply offended* : Cheap trick, coward....but I'm finally strong-
And Arthur who was still hurt incredibly by getting ignored all this time by them... gave no mercy.
Arthur: Fine, you wanna to fight me... *revs up sword beam* WISH GRANTED!
~
Arthur took this as the prefect opportunity. TO BE THE STUFFING OUT OF NONSURAT! THIS WAS HIS REVENGE! And Sir Uther (that devil) watching the match go down was grinning the whole time. He was finally getting what he was looking for from Arthur...
At this point Morgan wakes up and tries to intervene, but Arthur just tosses her, only then Uther finally steps in to break it up, but not to reprimand Arthur but... TO PRAISE HIM!
~
Nonsurat: SIR UTHER, HE DESTROYED THE TRAINING GROUNDS, WITH AN UNTESTED, & UNCERTIFIED TECHINQUE AND ENDANGERED MORGAN HE SHOULD BE REPRIM-
Sir Uther: The match ends when I say it does... it seems you've forgotten. *eyes blazing* DARE YOU TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME!
Nonsurat: I'm sorry sir, I thought-
Sir Uther: The only one who needs to be reprimanded is you, interfering & initiating another duel at the same time but- ... judging from the beating you received, there seems to be no need of that! *laughs* Ah, yes Arthur, well done!
Arthur: Really so, I'm not in trouble. ...
Sir Uther: No, no, no far from it my boy! You've finally earned your seat at the table and-*pats him on the head* a place at my side.
Arthur: Wait so I won...- *starts to tear up being praised by Uther for the first time* I'm your-
Morgan: HE'S YOU'RE RIGHT-HAND MAN!?
Sir Uther: Is everyone forgetting their bloody manners today!
Morgan: But I thought, he nearly-
Sir Uther: Hard times create strong men *glares down at Nonsurat & Morgan* You may both go to the hospital wing, your transgressions shall be forgiven today after all... *looks at Arthur with a wicked smile* you two have served your purpose.
Morgan: Wait what do you mean... *knows what he's implying...*
Sir Uther: Let this be awake up call~ *Turns back to Arthur* Come now, Arthur why the tears? (the moment he realized he could use Arthur's affections to control him).
~
Not only did it, (sword beam) impress Sir Uther, it flattered him immensely. Along with winning the title of "right-hand man", from that day on Arthur had become Sir Uther's favorite; his "golden boy". An embarrassing defeat for Morgan... the previous "weak link" had managed to best her.
The fluctuation of power it brought out the worst in all of them: Arthur's arrogance & Morgan's jealousy... (It would be the equivalent of: if Zuko managed to defeat Azula in there youth and then managed to become the favorite)
Which Uther highly endorsed, a venomous strategy that he banked on to create the strongest warriors, in the GSA and it succeeded. Feeding Arthur's paranoia to raise the bar higher. "Remember I expect nothing but perfection, I'd hate to see you fall to being the weakest, again..." Where as for Morgan & Nonsurat, Uther would get them to follow suit by comparing them to Arthur. "If Arthur were here he would've done it far better~"
It was infuriating for the both of them... especially Morgan. She hated nothing more than being compared to Arthur. It was like a reminder of her failure; making Morgan fire on all cylinders!
SHE WAS FAR MORE THAN A MERE SPARE!
Despite Arthur having the lead, there was still a chance for her to be Uther's successor. That chance came in the form of an old man... Merlyn! The only criminal that "Mister Golden Boy," could never capture! She wasn't able to catch Merlyn either but still.... IF SHE MANAGED TO CAPTURE THE OLD ROGUE THAT WOULD DEFINITELY PUT HER IN THE LEAD AGAIN!)
But Merlyn seemed to always have the upper hand! Taunting them to no end, trying to be friends with them!? As if she wasn't even a threat to this looney old man! And from what she heard from Nonsurat... the mage was trying the same thing with him as well. Must be a form of insult (Little did she know it was for something far greater...)
Yet for Arthur pursuing this magical menace had changed him... he's become more quiet, far less prideful and kinder- to them... wait what?! However, rather than seeing this as a change in his character... Morgan saw it as: since the blockhead was thwarted he had nothing to brag about anymore... or he was merely trying to get their guard down as a new tactic.... (But he was really trying to better himself and reconcile with me)
Anyways, thanks to Merlyn shenanigans; rumors of the Ancients & the GSA's corruption started to spread like wildfire! Thanks to that the temple had to do some major PR damage... Which led to them needing a new fresh face to the political world... Lady Celestine. Her new found friendship with Queen Minerva was a great asset; a willing patron and more importantly, access to Halcandra's technology.
And guess who Absalom (the High Priest) chose to serve as her bodyguard... Morgan. This cut Morgan's time on the war effort immensely (cut in half to be exact). How was she suppose to capture Merlyn first, while babysitting this prissy priestess. And it seemed like, the lady was just as naive as Sir Uther said she was.
Along with that she had heard (from Sir Uther & Absalom )... because of an accident she was unable perform magic properly (All she could do now was blow bubbles & conjure up illusions), and was confined to the temple. No wonder, Sir Uther loathed her... Astrals were born to be warriors and all she had to do was "sit there all pretty" and offer up prayers for the war effort! And for all the time she spent with her, it was clear she had no idea what was going on! And Morgan despised every minute with her...
Escorting her to all her humdrum charity events, laborious balls and the worst of all her insufferable tea parties! She shouldn't be here, sitting through Queen Minerva rambling on about how she was going to "bring back chartreuse!"
NO! SHE SHOULD BE OUT THERE, ON THE BATTLEFIELD!
It was clear that she didn't see her as her guard, but a "gal pal" she could drag along! "Morgan let's go to the garden we can smell the roses together-", " Why don't you help me pick out the tea set we should use~", or "Morgan did you know that-"
GAH! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS DITZ! SHE SHOULD BE OUT THERE HUNTING MERLYN!
Thankfully for Morgan, the majority of the time she spent was praying and meditating in the temple and all she had to do was sit outside and watch. And from time to time Nonsurat would swap with her, which she (Celestine) didn't mind, however made sure it was never Arthur... the lady always made herself scarce avoiding Mister Golden Boy at all cost.
Understandable (to her)... Assuming what she knew of Lady Celestine; the lady probably heard of his bloodlust and found the idea of him to be "gastly & utterly repulsive". And was scared away. Well, at least she could say they had one thing in common, but still she desperately wished she wasn't saddled with her.
Eventually Morgan's prayer's were answered, once Absalom saw Sir Arthur's popularity amongst the masses... He made him Lady Celestine's new bodyguard. If they presented the GSA's model soldier as this holy man, maybe it could win the favor of the people again.
Morgan was excited about the news...but that excitement dwindled a bit once she saw Uther get upset, "his star pupil" being pulled away. Why didn't he get this angry for her...
The real conundrum was this: despite the many falters in the capture of Merlyn, Arthur's popularity amongst the masses sky rocketed... they all seemed to be enamored by Merlyn the champion of the people vs. Sir Arthur, going toe to toe with each other. He had become just as famous as the rogue himself.
Was Absalom's PR strategy that good... or was it something else!? His identity of being this "cold stone killer" or "the next Uther" was getting washed away. This whole thing caused Arthur's career to expand to a more diplomatic role... along with being the people's favorite knight. And yet her & Nonsurat were still seen as Sir Uther's military dogs. (Why did this never happen when she was Celestine's bodyguard...)
The main issue was that every being in the galaxy seem to want Arthur to be the next leader of the GSA... "The Future King!" She was so sick and tired of hearing it. At the very least she could find solace in the fact that the two people she was annoyed with the most were stuck together. Last time she check Celestine wanted to get away from him... and Mister Golden boy was probably loathing his time with her just as much as she did before.
(Sorry Morgan, but Arthur was having the time of his life being with Celty...)
Strange enough, Morgan & Nonsurat's stayed friends; it was the hatred of Arthur & the blatant favoritism of Uther had for his "golden boy", made it him (Arthur) unbearable. Nothing like a common enemy to bring people together.
Even though they had this mutual hatred for Arthur, Nonsurat didn't seem to have the same fire as she did... or so she thought. Once Sir Uther officially named Arthur his successor, he had become even more vicious than her. Nonsurat seemed determined to never let Arthur sit on the throne. While they were good friends: it was a friendship that was built on the hatred of another... one not built to last.
Then the two most catastrophic events in GSA history happened: The Rampage of Celestine & the Birth of Meta Knight. Which led Sir Arthur to resign his position & his title as Sir Uther's right-hand man.... resulting in Uther disowning Arthur....
Which was the happiest day of Dame Morgan's life, finally karma! She heard Arthur received a terrible trauma to his head... maybe he lost is common sense and it's what made him want to keep this monster child (Meta). Well whatever the reason, no longer was her "The Future King..." he was now "The Once Future King..." a name that will certainly bring him shame till the rest of his days.
Nonsurat, however didn't seem as thrilled as her. In fact Nonsurat was locked in a daze... Maybe he was still suffering from his injuries from the rampage, or just in shock from it. She also was still reeling the events of that day... not in a million years did she think Lady Celestine was capable of that.
Well no matter, one's curse star, is another's lucky star... she even found herself somewhat fond of Arthur's little bat baby, if it wasn't for him Mister Golden Boy would've never fallen from grace!
NOW NOTHING CAN STOP HER FROM-
~
Cut to the current time line, a month after Sir Uther's assassination... and Sir Arthur becomes leader of the GSA?! After three recounts (resulting in ties) Arthur wins by a land slide. And she lost due to someone's endorsement... NONSURAT!? The only person she still considered her friend and he back stabs her like this!?
She didn't know what baffled her more... the fact that Arthur won even after falling from grace & being MIA for 120yrs, and showing up like some hobo. Or the fact that her spar mate, (since she was a cadet voted) for their sworn enemy. Nonsurat hated this man, just as much as her for years! And even plotted to take him down with her and yet Nons chooses him (Arthur).
Of course, her and Nonsurat had one last blow out fight, demanding an explanation for his betrayal. Trying to reason that, he could see Morgan breaking at the seams, due to Uther's influence. Taking on the role as leader would be too much for her and the galaxy needs a different leader, it needs Arthur... Hearing him verbalizing it just made her spiral even more... THIS IS WHAT SHE'S BEEN WORKING FOR HOW DARE HE!? Pretty soon she was cursing the whole organization :
There shouldn't have been a vote in the first place, she had done everything Sir Uther ordered to the letter... AND THAT DAFT DECREPIT OLD FOOL, HE DARED NOT CHOOSE HER!
When Uther was in his fits of insanity, she was the one who held the fort down, when Arthur abandoned his privileged station to look after nightmare's spawn, she was the one who willingly took on the brunt of Arthur's work. When Yamikage date breached their system, she was the one who cleaned up Dragato's mess! All these years, working sleepless nights, writing mountains of paperwork, tearing through monster infested battlefields, and for what!?
SHE DEDICATED HER LIFE TO THE CAUSE AND SHE WAS THE ONLY STRING KEEPING THIS RAT WHOLE TOGETHER! AND THIS IS HOW THEY REPAY HER, THE INGRATES, TO HELL WITH ALL OF THEM!
Feeling she was cheated out of her destiny she left to find her own way in the world... Promising she would all make them pay for choosing Arthur! A promise she would fulfill indeed... and the center piece of her revenge would be the very person who betrayed her, Nonsurat.
~
The sad truth of the matter was that Morgan was right! Logistically she was the only one who remain faithful to Uther. All the while Arthur & Nonsurat were double crossing him. So she was the rightful he heir...
These are just the major points I wanted to bring up and though she is a villain I still wanted to keep some sympathetic notes to her...But she never got the AH-HA moment of realizing it wasn't worth it, Uther wasn't worth it...
And Arthur knows that better than anyone... The way he see it, she's moving in the only way she knows, with anger. While he wants to help her, he knows it's her choice... which is why he keeps the door opened for her. And against his better judgement, his love & empathy trumps that all... Similar to his the original King Arthur, his kindness for her will lead to his down fall.
But the real tragedy is this, Morgan's denying herself the chance to talk to the two people who can truly understand what she's going through... Arthur & Nonsurat.
Like I said before, there are a couple of things I'm keeping hidden. And her evil plans still are being kept a secret... Do really you think all she wanted was the GSA... No, she's not stopping, their she's taking it ALL!
