Morrigan Aensland is very vain, and lives for little more than the excitement of battle, although her endings in the games as well as various media show that Morrigan slowly takes up more of her responsibility seriously. She appears as a beautiful woman with long, light green hair, and bat-like wings on her back and the sides of her head. She is a versatile fighter, having a wide range of physical and magical attacks. Despite having an supernatural stats, for an female Morrigan stands extremely tall at 1,95 m upwards.
Although Demitri would seem to fill the spot, Morrigan took the role of protagonist of the Darkstalkers series, due to her popularity, importance in the overall story as well as her many appearances outside of her own game series. Morrigan can be considered something of an anti-hero, since despite her demonic appearance and nature, she is not evil. Instead she is friendly and approachable, perhaps in part due to her frequent visits to the material world to pursue her hedonistic tendencies and has found herself willingly aligned with the forces of good on many occasions. She is a woman with a lovely figure. Her measurements are: 86-56-83 (B-W-H).
Confident, conceited, and playful, Morrigan may be called many things given that she is a succubus, but she is not really evil like the other demons of the Makai realm are rather, she is strangely friendly and approachable despite her glamorous and imposing good looks which might be due to her spending most of her time in the material world enjoying hedonistic delights. She's just always out to satisfy her own hunger and shirking her responsibilities as a member of the Aensland family. Morrigan has also found herself willingly aligned with the forces of good on many occasions. It is unknown if she is aware of the implications of taking souls, but she has not killed humans so far.
Morrigan is one of the strongest beings in the Darkstalkers Universe. In addition to traditional punches and kicks, she can reshape her wings into spikes, tentacles, and blades when attacking her enemies, as well as using them to shield herself from enemy attacks. She can also channel her own ki energy into her attacks, making them much stronger. Her wings can also separate from her, and form into a cloud of bats. During her dashing maneuvers, her wings can boost like a rocket booster and give off visible thrust. She can increase this thrust by expelling a large amount of ki during her Valkyrie Turn and rebound her opponent by forming her wings into a drill. Her hair can also be used as a weapon, as seen in her basic punch. She is best known for her Soul Fist, a blast of ki from her fists. If she uses it with regular power, it will appear as a large glowing yellow bat but if used with more power in an EX move, it will appear as a beam with a ghostly skull at the apex. She can also create a temporary doppelganger in her Darkness Illusion spell who will mimic her movements and attacks. In her Finishing Shower move, her wings form cannon-like protrusions and expel multiple ki blasts. Her body can also be a lethal weapon, as when she performs double Deep Crescendo as her finishing attack in Darkness Illusion hyper combo; her kicks appear with a blade-like afterimage, implying her extremely powerful kick.
She can also change her costume instantly into whatever she desires at the moment. When doing this, she will always hide her wings. Presumably, this is for when she travels into the human world to avoid attention. She may also be the only Darkstalker that is capable of crossing into the human dimension without the use of the "Gate", simply relying on her own translocation ability. She can also change herself into a cloud of bats to avoid enemies' attack which is performed when she fights against Iron Man in the Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds intro. She is also quite athletic and flexible which is visible in some of her attacks as she retains flexibility, doing rolling kicks in mid-air.
Being a succubus, she can draw out the life force of a human (unknown if it is through sex like traditional succubi or through some other means), but Aensland succubi are said to be a unique strain of their own kind, as they are able to also mainly subsist purely on an internal fluid created by physical and mental stimulation alone. They can also feed on dreams, through which the substance is also found in the dreams of others. These traits are said to make succubi of Morrigan's line less threatening as a whole, but also more weary, as a lack of stimulus is able to kill them over the course of two days.
It's implied that if she were to combine with Lilith, her powers would be much stronger. While this has not been seen in the Darkstalkers games, this incarnation has appeared in the Vs. series. In this form, some of Morrigan's attacks look different and she's also much faster (though this could also be due to the game's engine). Her Finish Shower attack is replaced with the Soul Eraser, where her wings form a giant laser cannon and she also gains the Silhouette Blade, where she creates multiple Lilith clones that all use Lilith's Shining Blade attack. In Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, when Morrigan uses Darkness Illusion Hyper Combo, instead of a mirror image of herself appearing and attacking the enemy from the other side, Lilith appears instead.
Morrigan's power would have reached a new higher level, if Belial's portion of her powers ever returned back to her and when she assimilates Lilith into her body. But since they have died with him this is not the case. However, it is heavily implied that Belial's part of the power may have indeed returned to Morrigan, due to her increasing abilities and power in later appearances. Fused with Lilith who was once locked away, it is assumed that Morrigan eventually takes over as the head of the Aensland family and rules over Makai. Actually Morrigan has an power level that is almost unlimited depending of the environment, of the moon phases and of her mood at the time. Basically when you think all the superpowers have been demonstrated, she always comes up with a new one.
