One of the fighters from the
Darkstalkers series. Has also appeared in the
Marvel vs. Capcom series.
Morrigan Aensland is a succubus who takes her name from an ancient queen of Scotland. Three hundred years ago, Berial (the current master of the dark world), thought Morrigan was far too powerful, so he split her soul to decrease her power. The other part of her soul would eventually gain it's own physical body and become Lillith, who would then try to track down Morrigan to reclaim her body.
After the death of Berial, ruling the dark world came down to the Aenslands and the Maximoffs, or more respectively, Demitri and Morrigan.
Morrigan, however, did not wish for the burden, and preferred a more care free life style. This did not stop Demitri for attempting to fight her for power, however.
Morrigan is also known to make frequent secret trips to the human world.
Morrigan typically has long green hair, and wears a purple suit that most fanboys cannot figure out how it stays on. She has small batwings on the top of her head, and larger wings sprouting from her back. The wings on her back however can break apart into a swarm of bats to carry Morrigan around, or just flap about.
In the original Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors, or Vampire in Japan, Morrigan had the following moves:
Soul Fist/Fire Bat-Her standard projectile, much like Ryu or Ken's Hadoken. Can be fired in the air as well. If her special meter is full, she can fire a much larger version of it.
Shell Kick/Demon Blade-She launches at opponents with her legs in the form of a drill like weapon.
Shadow Blade-Morrigan's version of Ryu and Ken's super uppercut.
Valkyrie Turn-Morrigan will quickly fly off screen, then come flying back in a Shell Kick that can hit many times. It requires the use of your special meter though.
Darkness Illusion-Morrigan doubles herself and attacks with a massive combo. Requires the special meter.
Hell Ride-Her special throw.
The second game, Night Warriors: Darkstalker's Revenge, or Vampire Hunter in Japan, added the following moves:
Vector Drain-A special body slam.
Shell Pierce-Her pursuit attack, which attacks a foe while they're down.
Astral Vision-Creates a copy of herself that mimics everything you do on the opposite side of the opponent. Requires the special meter.
Darkstalkers 3 or Vampire Savior adds the following moves:
Air Dash-A super jump for escaping attacks.
Finishing Shower-Fires a lot of missiles at foes, often hitting them around 13 or 14 times. Requires 1 charge from your special meter.
Cryptic Needle-She stretches her arm into this long appendage which grabs the foes and sends a charge to them. Requires a charge from special meter.
Marvel vs. Capcom series takes place after Morrigan has bonded with Lillith. In Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Morrigan has the following additional moves:
Spear Launch-Bats form into a spear head as Morrigan uppercuts and then launches it.
Mysterious Arc-Bats form a large blade which Morrigan spins around with.
Necro Desire-Morrigan does a forward flip kick which can hit four times.
Silhouette Blade-Lillith arrives and does 5 uppercuts very quickly.
Soul Eraser-Morrigan's bats form into three cannons, Morrigan holds the large one while two smaller ones rotate around her, then all three fire.
Morrigan has also appeared in several mangas and a short Darkstalkers anime series. There are also several figurines and such of her, most only available in Japan.
