OOC: I forgot to keep Foxglove's distinctive way of speaking. I don't speak like this in real life, but it's a mixture of archaic Hebrew speech in English. In real life, I sound like a total New Yorker BIC
Well, then, unto you both be peace, Alicia and Suzuku! A pleasure to meet you both. This is my spirit, Morgan Le Fay. She's a bit shy, sorry. Oh, my journey was beautiful. I love the desert, it reminds me of my travels in the Negav desert when I studied to be a Shaman. Of course, getting here wasn't easy. My mentor, the great Rabbi Shaya gave me a list of signs, but they weren't very clear. Rabbi Shaya is a wonderful teacher, but he doesn't give directions well. Tell me of your journey!

Hi, Morgan Le Fay! That name sounds familiar... Your journey through the Negav Desert sounds very interesting! I've never been there.
Well, the desert coming here didn't bother me much, I love warm places. It was the wandering around aimlessly that I didn't like! None of my friends back home are shaman so I had no concrete leads on how to get here. They tried their best to help, researching and the like, but they weren't able to come up with anything on Patch Village. I followed groups of shaman who looked like they knew where they were going, but that made me end up walking in circles for weeks at a time. Suzaku told me to follow my instincts. So, I did just that and I somehow wound up here! I did, however, swim through the blue cave which is why I'm dripping wet. ^_^
I seen lots of odd groups of Shaman on my way here. Sometimes they were even fighting in the streets!
So, what's your motivation for becoming Shaman....well, Queen I guess!? I'm just here for the thrill of combat!

One day, you must visit Israel. Although I was born in England, I spent many fond years there. None of my friends home are Shaman either beside my teacher. Most of my friends do have powers, but they are spirit mediums, necromancers, nature mediums and soul readers, which cannot be used for the combat used here. I wish they could join me here, I miss them terribly Fighting on the streets? That is so dangerous! My mentor always told me never to fight in places with many innocent bystanders. I do hope they were careful. Oh, do you need a towel? I did not have to swim through the blue caves, thank the Merciful one! I do know how to swim, but I nearly drowned as a child in the waters of the sea of Galillee and ever since then, I have feared being submerged for too long. So, why do I want to be Shaman King? I was raised by my grandfather and I love him dearly. I want to gain the power in order to restore him to youth and full health. He took care of me as a child and I want to care for him now. I suppose I also want the power. I hope I do not sound selfish and that my words find favor in your eyes.

Oh, thank you for the towel! I would love to visit Israel one day. I find Judaism to be one of the most facinating religions and would love to study its Place of origin!
I think your goal is very noble! You have the purest intentions, wanting to help out your sick grandfather. And, really, who doesn't want the power?! You have a reason for fighting, my reason has no direction and is bascially rooted in violence. I suppose I just want to push myself to my fullest potential.

It is my pleasure to help others. Many thanks for the praise of my faith. I am just as eager to learn of other faiths. You should visit Israel, it is a land truly blessed. Forgive me, but I think your motive is a very understandable and contains a direction. To improve oneself is a fine and noble goal. We all want to find out how far we can go in life, and the only way we can is to push ourselves beyound what we thought we can do. This leads to self-discovery. By thunder, I sound far too much like Rabbi Shaya. All the lectures he gave me have finally sunken in. I only wish he was here to see it. He'd be happy all his stern lectures of me has not gone to waste. I must say I got a lot of them. Once, the other students and I sneaked out to visit the Lake without permission. Rabbi Shaya found out, dragged us all home, sat us down and lectured for two hours straight, before punishing us with extra chores. I thought it would never end! Did you train with a mentor as well?

I haven't formerly trained, but I had some very odd experiences learning to use my Shamanistic abilities.
When I was young, I used to see odd things in the back of my yard in Conroe. All soerts of strange entities floating about. As I got older, I began to see more and more of them. I didn't tell my parents anything because I thought they'd figure that I was nuts. It wasn't until I was about 13 did I start using my powers. I was travelling in the city and I began to feel some disturbing energies. I decided to take a shortcut home through the backalley when I ran into a strange person in a black hood. He said he could sense my "unusual powers" and wanted to teach me more. At this point I was looking for a quick exit but this man was persistent. He had two spirits beside him, both looke like odd gremlins a purple one and a black one. He then formed the black one into a ball and thrust it into his torso. I was very frightened at this point and wanted to run away. As I turned to run he appeared directly in fron of me. He proclaimed that he would not let me leave until he had "tested my power." He continued to say that he had used Hyoi Gattai to merge himself with his spirit called "Theoi Khthonioi." I was told to do as he just did using the other strange entity named "Daimones Khthonioi." I closed my eyes and repeated the actions that the odd man had performed, I channelled my energy into turning the little gremlin into some sort of odd little ball that fit into the palm of my hand. Most out of fear of the man, I pushed the gremlin ball into my body. The only thing I remember after that was the horrible, unbearable cold I felt when the spirit went into my body. Upon entry my entire body froze up. I was shaking and I could see my breath. I think I blacked out because I woke up in the nearest clinic with my friends surrounding me, the strange man was nowhere to be found. I'll never forget that horrible, cold feeling I felt when I used Hyoi Gattai with that gremlin spirit. That's the reason why I absolutely cannot stand cold weather and ice now.
About a few months ago, I was studying abroad in Japan. It had been a lifelong dream of mine to go to Japan, so I was absolutely thrilled and wanted to see as much of the country as I could. I was in Kagoshima, a city in southern Japan. I happened upon a shrine there. I venured in and glanced around. Surrounding me were beautiful silk paintings of majestic phoenix. When I reached the shrine in the center, a phoenix spirit appeared to me. The old priest of the shrine seemed to notice that I could see the phoenix. His told me his name was Kakuju and that only Shaman could see Suzaku. I was curious and asked him what a Shaman was and he told me to follow him.
In the weeks that followed after I finished my classes I would go to Kakuju's shrine and he would teach me about Shaman. After a while he told me to try Hyoi Gattai with Suzaku. I was frightened at first because of my previous experience but the man assured me that there was nothing to be afraid of.
Suzaku: I remember when I first intergrated with you, you were very uncertain and I had a hard time completely bonding with you.
Yeah, I do remember the difference when using Hyoi Gattai with you. When Suzaku's spirit entered my body, it was the warmest feeling I had ever felt. Completely different from my first encounter with the strange man. I had a difficult time at first, but I eventually able to achive Hyoi 100%. When I do so, I become much lighter and more agile and I gain powerful kicks. It was then that Kakuju told me of the Shaman Tournament. Suzaku had agreed to become my guardian ghost and I was eager to test out my new abilities.
During the entrance match with the Patch Officiate, I learned to use an Oversoul. The officiate told me about using a medium, so I grabbed the nearest object that was clostest to me and thrust Suzaku into it.
Suzaku: Yeah, thanks for throwing me into the first objyct you laid your eyes on.
Hey! It was either that or be disqualified! Ahem, sorry. Anyway, it was a long metal pole that I had picked up. Suzaku's phoenix fire engulfed the pole and I was able to use the fire to attack and win my Oracle Bell.
I retuned to Kakuju and he gave me this Bo Staff caved from a Magnolia Tree. And this has been my meduim ever since!
So what's the story behind your guardian ghost?

But that "Save the world" stuff... please, how cliche' . Oh wait! I get it! You figure that by joining our team and by helping me out to become the Shaman Ruler... THAT will save the world. Oh, you're so sweet! I never met one of my fans in person before! Just for that, I'll make you "minister of sweets" when I create my new kingdom ^__^ . Minister of WHAT?! Look I'm helping myself and if you happen to benefit from my greatness then well just consider it a perk!! ;D I still don't get resurie's oversouls. If you bash people in the head with the guitar and strangle people with the strings then what exactly does your spirit do? you can do those things with a regular guitar right? As for the "Phantom Thieves". Umm well, I agree that it doesn't fit. And you're the leader?! Well, if you ever want to switch back, then just let me know!! ;D (OOC: I'm trying to play the Usopp card now!! ) I thought about the "Mod Squad" a few days ago, but I was laughing so hard from the cheesy-ness that I couldn't type it. It's just so corny but if you guys like it that's fine.

He enters the guitar making it all powerful! >] Yeah... And...Mod Squad..? HAH! That is cheesy! XD (OOC: Actually...I really did think of that name about a day ago. XD;;)
