My favorite character of all time is Morgana. In the beginning, she is strong-willed, smart, and the most brave and just character in the show. She couldn't stand Uther's tyranny, or Merlin dying for Arthur's sake, or Gwen's father getting killed. She was the only one to speak againist Uther. She was a freedom fighter inside the court. After season 2, she became a villain. Still just as strong-willed, but not anymore compassionate towards her former friends, she is now the definition of a real tragic character who challenged her fate and is convinced that only she is the rightful leader of a kingdom like Camelot, that craves for freedom. She is now determined to bring the downfall of Arthur whatever it takes and liberate all magical beings. In addition, she is calculative, manipulative and makes both a great tragic villain and an awesome hero. Also, the most important of all, despite being a villain she shows signs of regret, fear or melancholy that her old, good self used to show, making her a totally human and believable character! Finally, I loved the transition from a strong woman to an afraid girl, then to a reluctant traitor and finally to a determined sorceress!!
