Yep. Hair hair matters a lot. In a world where having pink hair is natural, seeing Seraphine having to dye her hair gives us the idea that she puts *a lot* of effort into her craft. Not only does she have a hand in the development of her gear, but she also changes her hair color for the stage and to solidify her superstar persona.

The Varus' one is pretty important since it helps distingush Seraphine from Sona. Whereas Sona has the same ability as Jhin, controlling peoples actions and emotions. Seraphine purely hears a persons song but can also hear other voices within Aphelios, Kayn, Yorick, Udyr, and all of the voidborn, etc. LoR fixes not only her lore but also her power.

New favourite card, sorry Reggie

[@slavapie]

As someone who currently lives in war I would add that her "tiktok" vibes personality is something regular civilian people need. I can't tell you how much all the quirky optimistic songs has helped me to go through the year without losing my mind completely. And they gathered a big audience too, even had concerts in subway stations. When Seraphine was released I was also kinda disappointed with her character design at first, but now I see it as a more realistic character to live in that area. Not everyone should be a fighter, but giving hope is a huge task as well. (I'm not talking about her as a appearance in-game, but more of a concept of a optimistic out-of-settings singer living in a very dark place).

Another thing that Necrit completely missed that peeved me was in the Acoustician's description: _"Once, he'd dreamed of leaving Zaun and traveling the world with a song in his heart. Now, the world was asleep in her room, waiting for the songs tomorrow might bring."_ ; the flavor was telling about his dream to travel the world, but once his daughter was part of the picture, she became his world. But Necrit missed the underlying meaning and interpreted it as him fixing Sera's guitar when she was asleep lol

that is the point as of now with her hair, helping the "idol" theme and the zaun part of things, as most people in zaun have exotic hair colors

[@ThyFloorestFloor]

If you notice almost all Zaunite characters have unnaturally colored hair from birth meanwhile piltovian characters have more grounded tones in their hair. So having Seraphin dying her hair to appear more connected with Zaun is a cool touch.

[@FG-tu4fq]

LoR improve Sera by basically expanding and adding in additional tidbits that she lacked in her LoL introduction. Her performing at Zaun, her interactions with her dad, and even her art shows so much like her making her guitar and her hair being dyed. While, i wish we get to see more of her empathetic abilities, hopefully this gets expanded on in Skarner's rework.

[@QuestionableLogic_]

What I like about this is that the Seraphine in League still plausibly exists with this update, LOR just shows us another side of her. You couldn't convince people League's Seraphine would go anywhere near Zaun, something even the champion designers seem to agree with judging by the voice interactions of champions released afterwards. This Sera opens up the idea that Seraphine would cater to different audiences, with different costumes and everything it's great

[@l0kk016]

Yeah it can be like she has outfits to please each audience, when she goes to Piltover she has to get all fancy and in Zaun it's more grounded... Either that or the LOR version is sort of her "past", with her eventually getting into League form as she grows more popular...

[@nick4949]

The Wiki basically confirms it. The LOR design is based on how she dressed before she became a superstar.

[@cartoonishidealism582]

Honestly I am of the opinion that Seraphine could very easily be fixed if they literally just put her into a good story. That’s the case for most problematic characters in League, frankly. Just give them good stories to flesh them out. Good execution can redeem almost any concept. Let her interact with Ekko, or Zeri or the other Zaun kids. Maybe explore how they feel about her - Zeri for one seems to be less than impressed with her. That’s grounds for interesting conflict. Have her interact with Skarner, or Zac who has similar empathic abilities. There’s a ton of different routes to take her character down if Riot is willing to just explore them.

[@RockBand971]

The Zaun kids just see her as yet another idealistic Piltovan with no idea how their city works. I don't think she could have much of a comeback to them. If anything I would love to see what other Piltover characters think of her, since they would be the ones against any kind of peace.

[@ArkLazarusMaximus]

Yep, after the fixes to her initial bio, Seraphine has always been a character with a lot of lore potential. Contrary to the biases many people had against her character, they'd make you think that her character was irredeemable without a retcon or rewrite of some kind and the fact that LoR does not contradict anything from her current bio disproved those biases.

Ever since that Seraphine card came out I was thinking how cool would it be if seraphine came out with 2 default skins. One same as the default and one similar to the lvl up card. It would make it more obvious that she changes her appearance based on where she's performing, with Piltover being all about looks and greatness and Zaun being more grounded

[@djohnthesalty]

This is the seraphine I wanted in the game. Not some preppy, egotistical, under-the-surface "I'm better than you" pop-star, but a down-to-earth musician who just wants to make a difference in the world. Her character in-game makes me think of "woke" celebrities that try to "share the plight" of the less fortunate while never actually walking in their shoes. Especially since she literally never even sets foot on the rift. Makes it feel like she couldn't even bother to get her shoes wet.

Theme is different, Seraphine is moreso on the idol thematic while Sona is on the instrumental thematic Kit is different too, Sona plays on the traditional Ministrel support skills (debuffing and buffing) in MMORPGs while Seraphine plays around a bard's destructive kit mixed with an enchanter role (only her W : Surround sound) Aesthetics are heavily different just from the design alone. And to be honest, the only reason that she gets compared to Sona is because of their powers being literally Music. Gameplay wise, they play differently as well. Sona is more on Sustain and buffing While Seraphine is more on making sets. Sure Sona can do sets with her Ult, But Seraphine is moreso inclined with it due to her E, Which doesnt have a unit cap as well as combos with previous afflicted debuff on a champion Plus, You gotta admit, Sona is basically Riot's poor attempt on making a ripoff of Hatsune miku playable in game And dont even try to tell me that just cause she has twin tails doesnt mean she's Miku, Cuz She literally IS fashioned to be Miku - Blue hair, Music themed, and Long twin tails with bangs, Which is ngl, kinda eh... (Riot basically tried to bootleg other charaters from popular franchises like for example, Sivir, They tried to make that warrior princess girl) lol

“Riot” and “Fix” should never coexist in the same sentence. Ever.

I always tear up on how much of a save this is from... whatever we have in leauge. The two are so different it's hard suprising that they still haven't updated the leauge version. Legends of Runterra to the rescue!

It is, Necrit was just being dense.

Finally Riot showing some love for the single dads out there

[@joshraid1550]

Hearing undercity made me realize that she could totally exist in arcane, which is hilarious to me. Imagine Vi running around in the slums and suddenly there's a KDA star. Well Arcane did already establish the existence of anachronistic music, just in a subtle and understated way.

[@syl_phee]

Also love her interactions with the Zaun Diva as well, and yeah they are totally "just friends" :D

I think her dad slid a ticket under her door, since its a piece of paper and the "discreet invitation" talks about being potentially found on the ground

[@snerdbrgrSkips]

Glad that they added that hinted friendship / rivalry maybe even more with the Zaun Diva, hope they expand on it

I imagine Necrit as a father only appreciates the card interactions even more, i am not yet a father but would like to be soon

The power of good writing and dad jokes can makes wonders for one's character.

I'm pretty sure the flyer under her door was advertising the duel event.

I see a new ship taht is approaching Divaphine. Now we just need some interactions with Vi and Cait to make it even better. They could be very funny.

Nah, Seraphine crushes on Ekko. But Necrit didn't show that interaction for some reason.

@@MalevolentFae I know that she likes Ekko but someone has to write it. I like her interactions with him but the lack of interactions for Vi and Cait is so sad

4:10 How dare you Necrit, as a father it is your responsibility, nay, your duty to make dad at any opportunity you get! No, I mean it. Give me those dad jokes!
