__Merlin__

In the movie "Merlin" i think the four main characters where Queen Mab, Ambrosia, Merlin, and Nimue. They each have their own similarities and differences. This movie is from the perspective of Merlin it tells all about his childhood and how he became a wizard. He was created by Mab, an evil witch who only created him so that one day he could become one of her assistants and be a wizard. Even though he was created by Queen Mab, Merlin was raised by Ambrosia. Ambrosia was sensitive, caring, protective and generous. She was Mab's assistant, and once a believer in the old ways. She was beginning to die and she knew that soon enough she would have to send him to be under Mabs control.

Merlin was a active, brave, wise and intelligent. He loved Aunt Ambrosia, and knew nothing of Queen Mab and that soon one day when the time is right he will be going off to live with her and become a believer of "old ways." Merlin was different than the other people around him. He was half wizard, and half human. Merlin grows up with no knowledge of his true heritage, until he uses magic for the first time to save a nobleman's daughter named Nimue. He could do powerful, magical things without knowing how or why he could do them. When he was young, he was in the woods one day and met a beautiful woman named Nimue. She was like nothing he had ever seen before. He said that he knew he loved her the moment he saw her. At first she didn't feel the same about him but then after he saved her life her feelings changed about Merlin.

Nimue was brilliant, gentle and wonderful. She cared about Merlin very much, all she wanted was to be with him. but that couldn't be because he was taken away to be with Mab. None of them were like Mab she was cruel and selfish. They all had alot of kindness and love to give she had nothing but power and magic. finally they were all happy, Mab no longer had power because she was forgotten and in the end Nimue got to be with Merlin after a very very long time of waiting to be with him. and Ambrosia did end up dying but she did every thing she could to help Merlin and his choices in life.
