Name: Mòrag Ladair
Canon: Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Canon point: Postgame
Age: Early 20's

History:
Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow: At birth Mòrag was named the heir to the Empire of Mor Ardain, and was groomed to be such by her uncle's family, resulting in a comprehensive education in all relevant fields. On the birth of her cousin Niall, he became the heir instead due to Mor Ardain favoring male lines of succession.
Special Inquisitor: Without resentment, Mòrag surrendered the position of heir. Instead, she put her skills and knowledge to use by training to be Special Inquisitor. This allowed her to bond with and become the Driver of Brighid, a key point in her development.
Save the World: As part of Rex's crew, Mòrag began looking beyond Mor Ardain to the future of Alrest as a whole. She assisted him to reach the Architect and defeat Malos, along with all their journey to that point.

Powers: Mòrag possesses the necessary aptitude to resonate with a Core Crystal.

MANDATORY QUESTIONS

- Of all the things you own or have owned, what is the most important to you?
I don't know if I could be said to 'own' Brighid's Core Crystal -- it is, after all, a part of her, if not her essence entirely. That being said, that Core Crystal is treated as a possession of the Empire's, and came to me in my role as Special Inquisitor, so I suppose it must count enough for this purpose.

- Where is it you feel most at peace, or most whole?
If I am being honest, I prefer being on the battlefield more than anything. I don't doubt most people would think I would answer 'Mor Ardain' to this question, but it's rare for me to draw my swords without it serving not only Mor Ardain's purposes, but most people's, these days. If I have to choose between the battlefield and Niall's side... well, on the battlefield, I'm not called upon to navigate politics, or inform partners and families of their loved one's deaths. Necessary as those duties are, I don't enjoy them, nor do they feel so directly helpful as putting an attacking creature into the dirt.

- Describe what gives you the most strength.
My strength comes from my conviction and purpose. Those have both evolved over time, and some might say that failing to adhere to a purpose is a sign of weakness. I disagree, however. If in time, my rallying cry has gone from "for Mor Adrain!" to "for Alrest!", is that not just broader? If I am trying to help all people, and not just the Emperor, is that not in accordance with the Emperor's expressly-stated wishes? Whatever capacity I use my abilities in, I am the Special Inq

OPTIONAL QUESTIONS

- Ultimate power comes at the cost of community. Being a part of a community comes at the cost of great power. Which would you choose?

This is a ridiculous question. It doesn't make sense in the slightest. If power is the ability to achieve what we want, only through a community can we have it. There is a limit to what one person can achieve alone, no matter how much raw strength that person has. Malos could not have threatened Alrest so thoroughly without the devices and machines he found in Elysium. Likewise, the Aegis could not have held him off without the air of not only her friends and allies, but the efforts of whole other countries in concert. The Praetor wouldn't have been a threat had he not had all of Indol behind him. By what possible logic can anyone argue that community prevents the gain of power?

What you seem to want to say, instead, is that community prevents you from using that power in any way you wish. Again, not true. Community merely shapes what we may use to use our power for.

- Do you forgive easily, or do you hold grudges?

I'll admit to holding an occasional grudge, though nothing that would ever interfere in my duty or responsibilities. But by the same token, I never forget, either. Even if I forgive.

Also, what do you consider taking revenge for something I've forgiven? I may forgive Zeke his flaws, mistakes, immaturity, and overall existence, but that doesn't mean I'll hesitate to take a shot at any one of them.

- Have you ever made a promise you can't keep?

I let the Emperor die. I permitted that, directly in front of me, while I watched -- while that boy, that fool of a boy, ran out and sacrificed himself for everyone. At the time I was too broken to feel anything more than grief and terror, and then minutes later I thought I had been wrong and he had survived... but after a while, when I had time to think, I realized that Nia had lied, and only the powers she'd kept hidden had kept him alive. Or brought him back. So the failure was every bit mine, and every bit as great, as I ever thought.

I'm still working on unpackaging that one.

- What would you describe as your weakness?

I don't consider myself to have a particular weakness.

[Of course, any sane person would point to her constant, complete refusal to be shown up in anything. Mòrag is completely aware of that trait, mind; she just considers it a strength, and proudly flaunts it. The times it has caused trouble, such as when she blew up a stove while trying to cook a fish, don't count.]

- What is your favorite color? Why?

Blue. That's the color of Brighid's flames, after all -- proof that of all the Fire Blades out there, she alone is qualified to be the Jewel of Mor Ardain. Beyond that, if I'm being honest, I must admit that the sight of the ocean is compelling. The actual ocean, made of water, rather than the Cloud Sea.

I wonder if those who grow up never knowing anything but the water will realize how different and special it is.
