character information ● name: Morgana ● canon: Persona 5 ● canon point: 11/22 ● age: Unknown. He isn't a human or even a real animal, exactly, so age doesn't hold much relevance to him. He acts like a young teen.
● abilities: Morgana is a shape-shifting metaphysical being created from the collective hope of humanity. While in the Metaverse - a second dimension created from human emotion, and where he's originally from - he exists in his normal form, and is also able to transform into a small 7-seater bus, apparently because humans associate cats and buses together. In the real world, he takes the form of a regular domestic cat. In Riverview, I'd like for him to mainly stay in his regular form (the bipedal one), and perhaps learn how to shift in this new world at a later point. I'm thinking that his remaining in this form could be explained by the fact that multiple dimensions are converging on this point, and that there is a large amount of spiritual/emotional energy concentrated around the portal - he (and this place) aren't particularly bound by the usual rules of the universe.
Aside from that, Morgana is a competent thief and fighter. He is small and agile, able to jump, climb, hide, and crawl with ease, and knows how to wield both a scimitar and a slingshot. He is a strong magic-user, and by summoning his persona, Zorro, he can utilize wind and healing magic. However, using magic will drain his stamina and physical strength. The Persona is, essentially, a manifestation of Morgana's innermost beliefs and core personality transformed into power.
A skill unique to Morgana is his natural ability to detect "treasure," or strong manifestations of human desire. It's hardly exact, but he does have some sensitivity to spiritual and emotional distortion, particularly those relating to hope and desire.
For a cat, he's surprisingly skilled at crafting. Morgana is capable of creating lockpicks, smoke bombs, and other such tools from basic raw materials. Additionally, as he's able to turn into one, he's quite good with cars, and can competently perform mechanic work, such as fixing broken-down vehicles. Basically, he's kind of a handyman.
● strengths: Confidence: Arguably, Morgana's best quality is his confidence. Although he has no idea where he came from or even what he really is, he continues to aggressively push onward through life and chase the truth. When the odds are against him - and they usually are - he will stand up against his enemies and fight for what he believes in. Morgana generally believes that he is very capable, perhaps more than most people around him (predictably cat-like behavior), and while this can sometimes make him abrasive to deal with, it also makes him extremely reliable as a leader and navigator. Considering his true nature as a literal embodiment of the human emotion of hope, it only makes sense that he has a deep belief in himself and a positive outlook towards the future.
Affability: Although he can be arrogant and a harsh critic towards others, at his heart, Morgana is a good person, and tends to be able to get along with others. He always tries to make the right decision, and strongly believes in justice and fairness for all people. He is passionate about using the power of the Phantom Thieves to help others. He is shown to care deeply about the other members of the Phantom Thieves, though he originally claimed to have joined with them only to help him discover his past; for instance, he worries about Haru's wellbeing and is sensitive to her lack of battle experience when she first joins, and insists on keeping her off the frontlines. He also shows constant concern for the wellbeing of the player character and irritation with the cruelty shown towards him in daily life. Towards the end of the game, when it appears that going to the Metaverse has lead to the destruction of the Phantom Thieves and perhaps all of humanity, he shows extreme remorse and sadness.
Cunning: Perhaps surprisingly, he's undoubtedly one of the most intelligent members of the Phantom Thieves. Morgana is the one who originally taught the other members how to, essentially, be a Phantom Thief at all: while he's good with pickpocketing, stealing, and sneaking around, he's also good at formulating plans, analyzing the situation, and coming up with solutions to the problems that arise in the story. When the party is betrayed, it's Morgana who is the first to figure out something is wrong, and also the one who spearheads their plan to get out of their predicament. Morgana has a talent for rationally laying out the details of any situation, either in his own mind or while explaining to others.
● weaknesses: Pride: Morgana's confidence often turns into haughtiness and arrogance. He has a tendency to believe that he's always right, leading to conflict with others, and, at one point, even causing him to leave the party to fight on his own. He can be derogatory when speaking to others if they act in a way that he doesn't agree with or have an opinion that doesn't match his own. His pride can also manifest as recklessness: Morgana is quick to rush into situations overconfidently, especially if his pride has been injured, which gets him hurt both physically and emotionally several times throughout canon.
Insecurity: As one might suspect, his excess of pride is mostly covering up a sense of inferiority. Not knowing where he came from or what he is makes Morgana feel like he has nowhere to belong; because of this, he often feels that he needs to prove himself to "earn" a place amongst his friends, which is the cause of some of his bravado. He gets jealous easily, and can be deeply wounded by his own failures or by careless criticisms from others: he is terrified of being useless to his friends and losing his place in the world.
Sensitivity: Morgana tends to be very emotional and overreact to things on both ends of the emotional spectrum. His wild passion for treasure, although it has abated somewhat by the canonpoint I'm taking him from, can cause him to occasionally lose control; he fixates on his goal, and this combined with his surplus confidence can make him ignorant to other problems around him. On the other hand, he often takes much greater offense to offhand comments or unintentional insults due to his insecurity, which can lead to him becoming depressed or angry enough to refuse contact with others. Morgana tends to feel emotions very strongly in general - perhaps because he's basically made of emotion, himself. While this makes him very sympathetic towards others, it's also the cause of a lot of strife within canon.
● job skills (optional): crafting (making tools or weapons, refining basic materials into useable materials), mechanic work, combat ● housing (optional): I'd like for him to live with Yuuto (maskerading)! They live together in canon.

PSA I (Morgana) am NOT a cat!
Not even a little! So stop treating me like one! I don't like catnip, or cat toys, and I'm not going to eat a piece of chicken that fell on the ground! You know who you are.
I'm a human!
