Morrigan is no more and no less than the product of her upbringing. Don't blame her blame Flemeth.
I think that's underestimating Morrigan as a person. She likes what she is and justifies her position well.
Sure, Flemeth's upbringing contributed to her personality obviously. But she isn't the brainwashed type.
Then tell me, how does the brainwashed type act? She clearly got her various morals from the school of Flemeth. She has lived almost alone with Flemeth for about 30 years (according to what I've gathered her age to be), that has to give some serious impact on your character.
It is not about brainwashing, it is about upbringing. If you are brainwashed, you had some earlier source of knowledge to the world.
Obviously, it had an impact on her character.
But she also says that she doesn't believe everything Flemeth tells her. It's hard being a skeptic when you know only one person. She doesn't have a problem admitting that Flemeth is an abomination. She doesn't have a problem killing her.
Morrigan is her own character. She forged herself in those circumstances, but it was her and not someone else who made her. By brainwashed, I meant having ideas that are put there by someone else. Morrigan is clearly not that, otherwise she wouldn't doubt a single word Flemeth told her.
