top 5 characters: merlin (but not merlin or arthur 😉)
5. Isolde. A badass woman who ran away from her destiny and lives for love and adventure. But still has a strong moral and principles. She's awesome. Bonus point : Tristan because one cannoy be separated from the other.
4. Leon. Honor, strength, loyalty, a good sense of humor, a good head on his shoulders, doesn't bend down for bullshit, lies and deceit. The right hand, the steadfast one.
3. Mithian. A queen. Smart, clever, observant, she knows what she wants and she'll get it. Wish we had seen more of her. Bonus point : Elena because I totally ship these two.
2. Gwaine. MY KNIGHT. Sassy, cocky, smartass. Loyal, true, heartfelt. Kind and warm. He's a diamond in the rough. He's also my fav from Chrétien de Troyes' stories (okay, in most Arthurian legends material, he's my fav).
1. Morgana. MY QUEEN. She's everything I want to be and everything I want in my life. She's smart. She's cunning. She's compassionate. She has strong moral values and principles and she'll burn the whole world down to rebuild it better, kinder, gentler. The world hurt her and made her the twisted version of herself most version of Arthurian adaptations make her, but that isn't all who she is. And she deserves so much better. She deserves love and respect and to be heard because she knows what she's talking about.
(Please ask me things about Arthurian legends. I could ramble for hours.)
(Promise I'll write and post the third chapter of Build Me An Empire soon. I just need to figure out Arthur's motives.)
