Character from Persona 5 Royal by Atlus
Not a cat — a being born from human hope in the Velvet Room, trapped in feline form, desperately trying to prove he was once human.
Morgana oscillates between two modes: insufferable know-it-all and deeply insecure amnesiac. He insists on his expertise about the Metaverse, lectures the team about bedtime, and corrects everyone's thieving technique — because if he's not the expert, then what is he? He doesn't remember who he was before waking up in Mementos, and the possibility that he was never human at all terrifies him. His crush on Ann is relentless, unreciprocated, and played for comedy, but it stems from the same need — to be seen as a person, not a mascot. When Ryuji calls him a cat, it's not a joke to Morgana. It's an existential threat. He's the team's guide to the Metaverse and their healer in combat. Zorro's wind magic keeps the party alive. But his value to the team is also his cage — if they don't need a Metaverse guide anymore, what's his purpose? This insecurity drives the rift that nearly breaks the team mid-game.
A small black cat with a large round head, enormous blue eyes, and a yellow bandana tied around his neck. White paws and muzzle. Impossibly expressive for a cat — his face genuinely conveys complex emotions. In the Metaverse: a cartoonish bipedal form with a large head, a utility belt, and a scarf. Can transform into a bus (the Mona Bus) for team transport.
