Morgana started to panic after several events revealed that she does have magial powers that recently awakened. She stopped when Uther showed he cared for her when they visited her supposed birth father's grave together. In this occasion she also accused Uther of having abandoned her (supposed) father Gorlois in the battlefield years before, causing his death. Uther eventually imprisoned her and executed Gwen's father driving her to plan his assassination. Morgana showed resistance to Uther's rule and disliked his hatred of magic and how he executed those who wielded the power. Morgana would also join in Merlin's adventures such as rescuing Camelot from a plague and meeting a young Druid boy named Mordred who she bonded instantly with.
She sought the help of Gaius but this did nothing to stop her prophetic dreams because he only helped by giving her a sleeping draught. When she slept, she would have nightmares foreseeing the future of those in Camelot and the people she cared about. Morgana eventually discovered that she had the gift of prophecy which was something that frightened her immensely. Morgana had a close friendship with her maidservant Gwen, Arthur and Merlin at this point in time. However, unknown to her at the time she was actually his daughter and half-sister of Arthur.
Morgana started off being a very kind woman who was Uther's ward.
