Third in the Dragon Age as Pokemon Characters series, Morrigan (yes, yes outside of the alphabetical order I’d assigned myself, but I couldn’t resist booting my favourite up in the order).
Misdreavus was found wandering forested paths and found joy in studying, bothering, and otherwise making a project of watching human travellers. Naturally Morrigan could relate. Morrigan is most likely to spoil this Pokemon and will go out of her way to revisit locations on her travels to indulge Misdreavus’ curisiosity and playfulness.
Grumpig was stolen rescued from a Fereldan farm. When the farmer became belligerent in the face of one of his livestock showing signs of magic and communication with spirits, Morrigan spirited the Spoink away before it could be harmed. Grumpig was left with Flemeth, as the two formed a steady bond.
Trevenant formed a mutual appreciation for Morrigan when they stumbled upon one another whilst simultaneously intimidating a group of destructive travellers. Trevenant was left with Flemeth, all the better to dissuade fools and trespassers.
Rookeedee/Corviknight was Morrigan’s first Pokemon. It’s friendship was an act of independence when Morrigan was young, peripatetic during her lessons, and otherwise compelled by Flemeth’s whims. She enjoys adorning herself with it’s feathers and they both find it an amusing mockery of their shared love for shiny things.
Hattrene was rescued from predeators as a Hattrem and and adopted a conciliatory cynicism and private-nature as forgiveness for it’s prior years of remarking on strong emotions and volatility in Morrigan that her partner would rather repress and pretend did not exist. Hattrene can often be found mumblig with Morrigan at camp and is unwilling to acknowledge the other companions with the exceptions of Mahariel and Wynne. Oddly, Shale is too emotional to bear.
Morgrem is a work-in-progress and a veritable defense mechanism; as Morrigan guides the young Pokemon through it’s attempts to grasp wild magic and as she stresses that he admit to and handle his more difficult emotions and vulnerabilities, the lesson settles on her own shoulders. She finds him delightfully funny.
Morrigan’s team illustrates her lack of qualms when it comes to forming bonds with Pokemon that other users deem repugnant, harmful, or otherwise lesser. Not one for abiding by the constructed schemas and ideas of others, Morrigan readily bonded with creatures in her original swamp and forest environs, and finds it opportune to attempt to reconcile with the spirits with whom the Party interacts during their travels. Though Maharial may be the only to appreciate and relate to her curiosity, Morrigan nonetheless finds joy in her companions reactions otherwise...namely using the majority of her peers to assure her privacy and/or taking punitive action against Alistair. If it comes off immature...surely it’s regressive to attempt to deter a Pokemon from their natural mischief, that’s not Morrigan’s business.
