Morgan le Fay

Morgan le Fay is a sorceress in Arthurian legend, typically portrayed as King Arthur's half-sister and a powerful enchantress.

She appears variously as a healer, a seductress, or a villain scheming against Arthur and his knights.

Her character has shifted across centuries of storytelling—sometimes benevolent, sometimes treacherous, always magical.
