TV TROPES - headcanons + threads

  • Adaptational Badass: This version of Morgana is more physically involved in fighting, with kicks, punches, and using her own electric guitar as a makeshift battle ax.
  • Affectionate Nickname: "Dark Darling" and "Drake Darling."
  • All Women Are Lustful: When they become an official couple, it's quickly clear that Morgana would be happy to go as far as possible while Drake nervously urges them to slow it down.
  • Amazon Chaser: When Darkwing gets to see Morgana fight others besides himself for once, his initial thought? "Hot."
  • Aroused By Their Voice: Drake is always noticeably distracted when Morgana sings, even when he's got a mission in mind.
  • Arranged Marriage: As part of her backstory reveal, Morgana was going to be in one of these before she ran away from home. Her family still tries to hold her to it for a while.
  • Band Of Relatives: One of the reveals is that the entire band is made up of Morgana's distant cousins.
  • Brainwashed: What some of her songs do to people - typically used either to put them to sleep or have them hand over their cash/valuables.
  • Broken Bird: Pun aside, this is what Morgana appears to be deep down.
  • Dangerous Forbidden Technique: The Hocus Pocus Focus spell. Instead of making people mindless zombies like her usual spells, this one would force them to love her music. Morgana refuses to use it (it's dangerous, forbidden, and she knows it's wrong) until she meets her Despair Event Horizon.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Clearly a villain, but not wholly a bad person, and one who eventually changes to the good side.
  • Dating Catwoman: To Darkwing's Batman.
  • Dating What Daddy Hates: Just like in the original show, Morgana's Father doesn't approve of Morgana dating a "normal"/mortal.
  • Despair Event Horizon: When Darkwing "dumps" her and she's convinced Drake threw out her autograph, she crosses this and almost uses a forbidden spell to get the entire city to love her. 
  • Distracted By The Sexy: Morgana exploits this plenty when she needs to get Darkwing out of her plans - but at times it's reversed and she's the one who's lost in his eyes. 
  • Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: While already pale via white feathers, it's noted she's even whiter than those, combined with her dark hair and love of the macabre. 
  • Endearingly Dorky: Morgana finds Drake's dorkiness utterly charming. Stammering? Flustered? Lame dad jokes? She loves it all.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Morgana and the band don't actually get along off stage, but Morgana utterly adores her familiar/pets, even calling them her "babies". 
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Morgana doesn't actually want to hurt people, which is why she prefers using spells. But even she is hesitant to use the Hocus Pocus Focus, which would forcibly control people's hearts. 
  • Even The Girls Want Her: Implied to be one of Lena Sabrewing's first "girl crushes". 
  • Evil Is Sexy: Darkwing finds himself quite flustered when Morgana refers to herself as a "bad girl".
  • Eyelash Fluttering: Uses this on Drake/Darkwing shamelessly.
  • Femme Fatalons: Sports a good pair of long fingernails.
  • Freudian Slip: Drake/Darkwing tends to slip into this, with a mix of Gibberish of Love. For example - "I'm really looking forward to seeing a lot more of you, Morgana! ... A-a lot more of your music, of course!"
  • Goth Rock: Her band's genre. 
  • Heel-Face Turn: Eventually winds up doing this.
  • Hot Witch: Uses spells and is definitely easy on the eyes.
  • I Just Want To Be Loved: Ultimately Morgana's motivation - monsters thought she was too kind and hated her music, while mortals find her appearance strange and her powers terrifying. She's desperately lonely and wants to find someone who understands her.
  • Imaginary Love Triangle: A mix of Played for Laughs/Drama in that Morgana thinks she's in this with Drake and Darkwing, oblivious that they're the same guy.
  • Implausible Deniability: Played for Laughs - When Morgana, still thinking Drake threw out her autograph, decides to devote herself fully to Darkwing, she declares she is "100% over Drake Mallard". When Squeak tells her Drake's literally at her door, she immediately puts on make-up, tries to make her outfit sexier, and begins playing the most seductive song she can think of. While still convinced she's over him.
  • Lady In Red: Most of her outfits (including the one she wears when stealing) are red.
  • Laugh Of Love: Aside from typical Evil Laughs, Drake seems to be the only one who can get Morgana to genuinely laugh, giggle, and snort, usually when he's said something dorky.
  • Love At First Note: Implied with Drake. While he heard and saw Morgana in passing, when he actually listens to her music for the first time, he's completely enamored and forgets the reason why he went to see her to begin with.
  • Love Makes You Dumb: Darkwing's IQ tends to drop a bit when Morgana's involved, though he does manage to recover. To be fair, Morgana appears to suffer this sometimes as well.
  • Loves My Alter-Ego: Played with - Morgana winds up falling in love with both Darkwing and Drake. 
  • Love Redeems: It's clear that Darkwing/Drake's love was a big push to her turning over to the side of good.
  • Muggle-Mage Romance: She's magical, he's not.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: Much to her surprise, it turns out Drake is kind of this, when he admits he likes her fangs in part because they're frightening. 
  • Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: It's never made 100% clear what sort of monster she is - judging by her family portrait, she's related to almost every kind there is, so it's very likely she's a "mixed breed". 
  • One Head Taller: At the very least two heads taller than Darkwing - and given her love of high heels, even taller than that sometimes.
  • Peek-A-Bangs: Morgana's hair often covers half her face, especially when she's being seductive or evil. When she was younger, she had a similar hair style but back then it was shown as a sign of shyness.
  • Perky Goth: Once she's done being evil, she often slides into this.
  • Projectile Kiss: Morgana's fond of this especially when she's making a quick get-away. Also done to Drake after their first meeting.
  • Polyamory: Played For Laughs - Upon learning Morgana is in love with him and Darkwing, Drake gets up the nerve to tell her the truth... and blurts out this as a solution instead. Made even funnier that Morgana, desperate to have them, agrees with only minor hesitation.
  • Post-Kiss Catatonia: Usually happens to Darkwing after Morgana lands a smooch on him, even for cheek kisses. Amusingly, if she's not careful, she can wind up suffering from this too despite initiating it.
  • Rock is Authentic, Pop is Shallow: Morgana's view of the music world. She mellows on it once she turns to good.
  • Silent Snarker: Eek, Squeak, and Archie, her familiars, often delve into this. It's implied they figured the Drake/Darkwing connection a while ago.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man : Darkwing's heroics and Drake's general kindness made her fall hard.
  • Statuesque Stunner: Much taller than Darkwing and 2/3 of her own band.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: How Morgana's feelings for Drake/Darkwing initially manifest. She definitely isn't in love, she doesn't see him in her dreams, and she absolutely hasn't thought of a name for their first kid...
  • The Tease: Even when she becomes a "hero", Morgana still can't get enough of teasing Drake. 
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Again, big size different between her and Darkwing.
  • The Vamp: More than happy to use her good looks to take advantage of Darkwing's obvious affections.
  • Uptown Girl: While Drake isn't exactly poor, it's revealed that in monster society Morgana's pretty high up on the ladder, so much that her father is called Lord McCawber. 
  • Villainesses Want Heroes: Boy does she ever.
  • We Can Rule Together: Morgana offers this to Darkwing - "If this city won't rise to applaud us, we'll bring them to their knees!" - and while he is momentarily tempted, he flips the script and instead offers her to join him. Before they were interrupted, she seemed to be seriously considering it.
  • Yandere: Morgana can handle other women being interested in Darkwing. If said women actually try to get their hands on him? Monster murder mode activated.
