At first I thought it was a knockoff of Morgana Pendragon from Merlin. But I’m not sure

While I think that “A Basil Plant” has answered that question with an impressive investigation effort. The picture looks a lot like the Heroes of Might and Magic character Adrienne.

It looks an awful lot like those generational AI movie stills.

Oh boy, this was a 20 minute rabbit hole.
Tl;Dr: this is probably AI generated.
Using google image search, I found is that it was created by this account in Oct/2024:
www.instagram.com/gothtoon/p/DBh-p4WgThS/
Alternative front-end: imginn.com/p/DBh-p4WgThS/
There is the copyright symbol with this user in this image.
If you go through the comments and other posts by that user, it does look AI generated. Their threads account has a linktree, which has a link to a discord server, which I momentarily joined to see what the deal is about.
Looks like it’s a project started by a user named Emo Bot 9000, and they’ve created a bunch of characters, the most famous of which is the frog mage. This is a message on discord that supports this:

Another user asks whether the frog mage stuff is made using AI, and Emo Bot 9000 essentially replies yes:

Now, although the image in this lemmy post is, to the best of my searching, nowhere explicitly labeled AI, I think it mostly points to being generated by AI. The simplest way to confirm would be to ask them on their discord directly, which I don’t intend to do.
Although reverse search tells me there are earlier appearances of this image, they’re either false or the PFP of a commenter.

Only 20 minutes!? You’re a great internet detective! Thanks so much! Bummer that it’s not some old obscure movie I can watch, but at least now it won’t bug me that I never found out
