Setting: Pre-Tudor England, during the time of Merlin and Arthur etc
Main Characters:
Athur Penndragon is the new king of England, and now in power had decided to get revenge on the witches and wizards he believed killed his father, though he is oblivious to the fact that his uncle Mortious was actually his father’s murderer, and that his own wife Aowyn, is also a witch.
Aowyn Penndragon neé Page, the new queen of England, is starting to feel that she and her husband have been growing apart since he became king. She fears that his determination to destroy the magical world is over coming him, and she fears he will find out her secret.
Mortious Canncer is the middle aged uncle of the new king, Arthur. Mortious lives for his ambition to over throw Arthur, and kill him just like he had killed his parents. He is a tyrant, and is cruel to all, especially to his young wife Beth who he married for her money, and because he knew she would be easy to have control over. He hates everyone, especially wizards and of course Arthur. He has taken a particular fancy to Aowyn’s maid, Ava. He wants to arrange for him and his squire to have Beth secretly killed so he could propose to Ava.
Beth Canncer neé Lourie is fourteen and recently forced in to the marriage of Mortious Canncer, who is thirty years older than she is. She is in love with the stable boy, but knows only too well that is she puts a toe out of line, Mortious would have her secretly killed. Though she is the youngest at court, she is very intelligent, and has shown no clue to anyone that she is in fact, secretly a witch too.
Ava Mortagne is ladies maid to Aowyn, and ambitious. She is clever, though uneducated, and strives for fame and glory. She soon grows aware of Mortious’ affections, though unfortunately the feeling is not mutual. But Ava being too sly to tell him that, goes along with it in the hope of scoring her ultimate goal, and that is the love of the king.
Morganna Lovett is the King’s ward. Magic, though she was driven from her home during Uther (Arthurs father)'s reign. She turns up to Camelot after arranging a "damsel in distress" plan. Arthur likes her and they become friends, but she's planning to overthrow him and make Camelot a magic friendly place again. The prophecy says that when the King is dead, only then can magic come to power. She gets on with Ava, because of some of the qualities she recognises in herself, Although it actually turns out that she's related to Arthur, even though they don’t know it, Uther, also her father had a mistress for a short period of time- a witch.
Jack Follett is a stable boy at Camelot, and serves Arthur. He is not of particular importance to anyone, except Lady Beth. He is seventeen, two years older than she with fiery red hair. He loves Beth, though she is married, and would be executed for expressing love for a lady married to such a tyrant as Mortious Canncer.
Merlin is Arthur’s right-hand-man. He is a wise wizard, the Dumbledore of his time. He strives to prove the innocence of the witches and wizards, without actually revealing himself as who he is to Arthur. Old though he is, he is in search for his long lost love, Lorna.
Lorna White is among the witches and wizards on the run, though she is the oldest by quite a bit. The other a generally adolescents but she is a rather old woman. However, she is also in search of her long lost love, Merlin.
The witches and wizards on the run live in fear of being found and must travel all around the continent to keep thereselves as far from Arthur as possible, but between thereselves blooms love, illness, hate and possibly death.
Plot: These people are all so different, yet they find that their lives are becoming entwined, sometimes for the better, more often for the worse.

Dude. The Pensevies aint got nothing on you. Aslan is the God
SPOILER!!: Morganna Lovett
MORGANNA LOVETT
SPOILER!!: More Photos. Because she is a beauty
{Hello there} Full Name: Morganna. Lovett is just a name Age: 25 DoB: 12th August PoB: I don't know, some druid forest Current Place of Residence: Camelot Blood: Pure/Druid Magical Powers: Witchcraft and seer
{What you see is what you get} Hair: Raven black, long, wavy, thick Eyes: Pale blue Skin Tone: Pale Build: Tall, slim Facial Shape: Heart Usual Attire: LIKE THIS
{This is me}
Morganna was born in one of the Druid forests, to druid parents, whose names she doesn't know, and just days after she was born, the current King Uther (now deceased. Rest his soul *sarcasm*) raided the camp as part of his campaign to stamp out magic, and in the process, killed everyone in the camp. No one escaped except the children, who were ushered out secretly by one of the elder boys in the camp and taken to another place of safety, the high priestess, though she was soon rejected from them and sent away in the river. That boy that helped them was later found and killed.
Morganna then grew up, moving from place to place to evade being caught and from a young age was separated from everyone else, she grew up a lonely girl with a lonely existance, wandering and finding places, and growing up thoroughly muggle, she had no idea of her powers all she knew was that she sometimes saw the future in her dreams and that it came true.
Morganna wandered for years before she was found, when 16 by her half sister Moraguse and her "sister" Nimueh, who told her about Uther's past and how they planned to overthrow Camelot, they then told her of her part and also told her, she would be in the castle for at least 7 years before they made contact with her.
After their planning, she, still 16, was found by the late Uther's Knights of Camelot after they arranged the "damsel in distress" ploy, where Morganna was found, apparantly half dead and abandoned and was taken into Camelot, originally for a short period of time, but when Uther recognised her he told her she could stay and gave her the role of King's Ward, following the plan. Morganna grew up with the young Arthur, who was 17, as his best friend and confidant and stole the hearts of Camelot as the "Lady Morganna"
When Morganna was 24, King Uther passed away and Prince Arthur took his role as King when she was 25. It was also at that time that the castle physician found about about Arthur and Morganna's blood line. And how she was also in line for the throne. She recently celebrated her 26th birthday, with a lavish ceremony, where Arthur pledged that she would always be looked after by him and that she was so close to their family she would get part of the Kingdom. But she wants revenge, and taking the crown suits her mightily
{And my personality?}
-EDITING-
SPOILER!!: Ava
AVA MORTAGNE
"You should trust me your highness"
Basics Name: Ava Mortagne Age: 21 DOB: 12th August Education: None. Why would I? Occupation: Ladies maid to the king's wife Blood: Muggle born
Appearance Hair: Raven black, thick, long, curly Eyes: Pale blue Skin Tone: Pale Facial Shape: Heart Build: Tall, Slim (but with curves in the right places) Usual Attire: Her lady's maid uniform
About Her History: Ava the orphan. Thats who she is. Nothing more, nothing less. Taken in by the Lord and Lady of the manor in the village as a newborn, she was raised as an aristocrat, being pampered day and night, never lifting a finger, because she didn't have too. And so she lived like this, knowing that she was one of the lucky ones. Or not. The night before her 18th, when she was betrothed to the son of the Lord and Lady of the manor in another village, she discovered the truth. That her 'parents' were good people, who had taken her in, when her real father, their gardener and his wife had died. She was the child of "peasants". This realisation shocked her to the core, and that night she left. She ran, unable to deal with the truth, she had no parents. Not anymore. And she carried on running, straight into Camalot
After she begged a place in the castle as the ladies maid she was taken in, to be the ladies maid of the kings wife. A shock to the system, considering she'd grown up an aristocrat, but she took it on the chin, this job gave her a reason to get up in the morning, food, a bed and clothes, and the King himself was a good reason to stay. That was one of the things about Ava, she'd been daring and had run, because she could, but also because she wanted to, she did what she wanted when she wanted, ran from chaperones to meet up with the stable boy or rode horses in the night, because she could. This job, though a huge difference from her old life, gave her a plan, to get out.
Personality: Brave, daring and audacious, Ava is a...live wire, she's not the meek and mild type, like the other servants, but she thinks it's one of the reasons she was taken on, why she did so well, because she and the queen got on, and they got on well. And because she grew up with a silver, jewled spoon in her mouth, she believes she can get everything, so don't be fooled "queeny" as she calls her behind her back, because this girl isn't afraid to sink someone to save herself, and it will be you, because she's got her eye on a new prize. The king.

You're not sure, you open the door.And step out into the dark...---------------- ---------------------------------------Amelia Mae Samson . Seventh Year. Hufflepuff.
Basics
Full Name: Luminitsa Izarra
Nickname: Lumin
Age: 16
DOB: 1 Oct
Education: Never formally educated, but she forced her mother to teach her to read and has since then stolen more than her fair share of books to learn from.
House: Slytherin
Blood: Pure Blood
Patronus: Wolf
Appearance
Hair: Blond- long and wavey. This annoys her so she usually tries to keep it straight by weaving ribbons through it to tame it down.
Eyes: Dark blue
Skin Tone: Pale
Build: Not as slim as her family would like her to be to marry her off, but she has an hourglass figure with a decent bust and hips. She hates her curves and the attention she sometimes gets for them, however she is a true Slytherin and knows how to use them to her advantage.
Clothes: Hates dresses. Usually green top with black skirt. She usually sneaks knickers underneath because as a child she prefered playing with the boys (the girls were far too prissy and allowed themselves to be bossed around by parents while the boys played in the fields). Personal
Family: She is very close to her mother but has never cared for a relationship with her father since childhood. She thinks fondly of those memories when she was young but they have grown too far apart to care much about each others lives.
Siblings: Four younger siblings, she is closest to her brother which is only a year behind her. The other 3 are very young and while she has often had to watch them, she has no deeper relationship with them. About Her
She is mostly of gypsy origin, and a full pure blood, but she doesn't care whether anyone else is. She feels like she doesn't belong properly in this time as she doesn't easily fit in with any of the women she is meant to socialize with, but instead prefers the company of men who speak of things that she cares about. She can follow politics and educated conversations, but is still often too immature to listen for too long!

Reason: Adding content so I don't spam!
Full Name: Jack Follette
Age: 17
DOB: 24 July Education: Very little formally. He has an older brother who has taught his some of what he learned, but Jack was always going to be a stable boy so his parents never bothered with anything but training with horse handling and animal care. For this, he is very good at taking care of animals (especially horses) but he is only ever asked to clean their mess, not look after them properly.
House: Hufflepuff
He perfectly embodies the usual Hufflepuff qualities. He is a hard worker, very patient, and values friendship and fair play much more than skill or level of anyone. He is never looked on as the best, but he is loyal and loving. Because he was never competetive he never got caught up in the boys rivalry and games so he got to spend time elsewhere. Most importantly with his love, Beth. Appearance
Hair: Deep red, comes down to his chin
Eyes: Light brown
Skin Tone: Just deep enough to not burn but pale enough that his freckles stand out.
Build: Tall swimmers build.
Usual Attire: He prefers dressing in brown and rarely ever sees nice clothes as he has to work so often. Personal Family
Siblings: His mother had several others, but times are hard and only his sister survived. They were very close (he liked being able to watch out for someone instead of needing protection himself) but she had to leave to learn other skills and work elsewhere to support the family before she is wed.
