Personal History		Morgana grew up in the deserts of Utah and New Mexico. She spent a great deal of her time outdoors hiking, white-water rafting and camping. When she discovered go carts and hover carts, she found her mission in life. At first, it was cart races. Then, when she learned to drive a four-wheeler she discovered the joys of racing. At first, it was over the desert and mountains of her home. Then she began to race professionally. Hover cars were fine, but they weren't as much fun as the wheeled vehicles. At the age of 17, she broke the land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats because a boy told her she couldn't do it. Her father owned a troupe of pilots who used old-fashioned bi-planes and would go around the planet doing air shows and teaching about the early days of flight. Morgana was always fascinated with the planes, but her father refused to let her fly. However, when she turned 17 and could make her own decisions, she secretly took lessons. At the age of 19, she competed against her father's best pilots and beat them in a race from New York to Paris in a bi-plane. When the other pilot came to congratulate her, she took off her helmet and goggles, shocking not only him, but her father who was not far away. From then on, she worked with her father as he didn't trust anyone else to make sure her planes were safe. She learned to build a plane from parts and to fix it on the fly. She also became his best stunt pilot and barnstormer. At 19 she began to race more modern vehicles, mostly shuttles and personal vehicles. She found many ways to make them faster and more aerodynamic for stunt work, which bothered her father a great deal. She found new ways to maneuver her ships into tighter places and through numerous obstacles. When she was 23, she was flying with her father at an air show when a freak accident sent his biplane spiraling into the ground. He managed to steer clear of the onlookers, but in doing so, he was unable to parachute out. Morgana, in her need to get away from Earth for a while and all its memories, joined Starfleet as a fighter pilot. She'd already proven herself hundreds of times as a crack pilot, but now she took to the new challenge like a duck to water and quickly became one of the best -- and most dangerous -- fighter pilots in her group. Morgana got her nickname of "Darkwing" because she loves to fly dangerously. She takes chances and will try things many other pilots won't. However, she is always very careful and controlled. She loves the challenge, but always knows her limits and how far she can push herself. She is constantly trying new things and new maneuvers, initially on the holodeck and then in her plane. When given an assignment as a fighter pilot, her response is often, "Let's get dangerous!"
