Who Is Aurora? (Lore Explained)

[@venrisulven]

Who knew that connecting your new characters to already existing ones in the world is better than just dropping them in a once unixistent corner of the world completely isolated from loved characters

[@ibrahimoguz4975]

For their credit the first version expands on worldbuilding, but cuts the character off from the story.

[@ryanpower1291]

​@ibrahimoguz4975 this is true it does allow us to learn new places in the world. They could do both though and introduce a new place but have them meet someone we know along their journey. Whether it be they left that place or because someone traveled there. Either option is workable.

11:11- "Never more than five steps from a Spirit" Ac...actually that's a joke about spiders. There's a common saying that based on the mathematics of how many spiders there are to how many humans there are, realistically if all of the spiders are averaged around the globe; "You're never more than five feet from a Spider"

I think the reason being that The champions that she's talking to are people who tend to play a little too close to spirits and as a result, tend to play with power, they don't understand.

[@paperknigth2263]

I honestly didn't expect that Aurora was going to look like that. I was expecting a more...artic explorer looking vibe, big backpack, heavy winter clothing. Surely not those thicc thighs and coat of glacial cabaret. I'm okay with sexualization, I wouldn't mind it if she was supposed to be more sensual or outgoing, but it really feels out of character in my opinion. Is like if you take Singed and give it a backwards cap, gold chains and dark glasses, and you say that he canonically dresses like that.

[@sebastianznguyen7481]

Okay but considering how sexualized they went for a blood gollum or smth [briar] instead of something more realistic of the theme of a vampire I can understand why most characters are more on the looks side and less practical in the world they're in

[@Keram-io8hv]

This, I hope she will at least get a skin like you description

[@silasfladmark428]

I think the best explanation would simply be she is vastayan so might not be bothered by cold like humans. She is just starting out with the research so wouldnt know of instruments to use. And because she is vastayan im not sure she would need explorers stuff like bedroll and the like, (altough then there is teemo i guess). But singed is human and a veteran she is vastayan and just starting out, so not exactly the same. But yeah if she was supposed to have done it for hundreds of years, then she defenently shouldnt look like she does.

[@itsgonnabeokay9341]

Well, rabbit people are usually pretty thicc. That is how their legs are built.

[@TalkingTrey]

​@@silasfladmark428 She had a explorer bag and big coat in the hearth home event. She was teased with alot of gear. I too was expecting a artic explorer.

[@MrJimmyWalsh]

No, it's a reference to the idea that you're never 5 steps away from a spider

[@colossaldonut5190]

Ok but considering this is THE spirit champion how can she have NOTHING to say about Shen? In a way they’re even doing the same thing, just with Shen doing it a bit more violently. She can just unlock doors to the spirit realm and we just have to just accept that Shen is standing on the sidelines while this is happening?

[@shockal7269]

*Random fun fact:* This is the only video Necrit has posted this month without his face in the thumbnail

[@The_Nowhere_Man]

Probably she doesn't have lines with Shen because he's a lot more balanced in his approach. Also a ninja, probably goes around it more sneaky than the edgy katana man.

[@criper4830]

plot twist: aurora is wearing magical glasses which allow to see spirit world to whoever looks through them, but no one including aurora is aware of that

[@imalltheragex2000]

9:57 I wonder how she would react to a character from the shadow isles

[@ItsJustKaya]

I hyped for her lore expansions like she has the possibilty to explain what was going on with pyke and nautilus. And slightly annoyed that she never met ionian characters like karma, irelia, shen, kennen, yi perhaps. And since we know literally notbing abt shaco she might be the key to his lore. Let alone mordekaiser she could possibily play the key role like akshan did

[@tamas9554]

I'd love it too if they made Aurora THE main character with all this stuff, the character isn't self-insert enough already :DD Though her visiting Ionia would have actually made a lot of sense, because currently we have no info on how she mastered her magic, which some other Ionian vastaya could have helped her with

Still it could have been weird how ornn was just completely fine with past trauma in like 3 seconds, mind you the reason he is still isolating himself in the mountain was because of said trauma. Thank the lords of Runetera, Riot actually thought about her lore and she isn’t a hearthblood or forced to be one

[@trooperscientists2000]

I'm very curious about the Swain and Briar set-up. I'm guessing Swain might set up their meeting thinking if Aurora can calm Briar maybe he can use her as a tool against her creators.

[@nicolaszan1845]

Not a massive fan of the voice actress, but the character itself is absolutely top tier as far as new character introductions go

[@coronelkittycannon]

I thought this was a Pokemon X & Y video from the thumbnail 💀

[@stonks6926]

I wonder what the connection between Swain and Aurora will be about. My guess is since Demons are technically spirits, it has to do with the Demon in Swain's arm, Raum. Maybe Swain is spying on Aurora to learn how to control spirits? Gain more control over his arm?

[@shinobi_animations]

i would've expected some voicelines for Yorick because yorick has the maiden who is a spirit.

[@VermilioonBDO]

no wonder i found this character so appealing from the gameplay trailer!

[@raistlinmajere1000]

I don't know, but I have the feeling that many, like me, Aurora's kit feels unimaginative. It greatly conveys that she is difficult to catch like a rabbit (passive, w, e's backwards jump and r). But her abilities are too similar to other ones and really simple. Also that she is another skirmisher (battlemague-skirmisher). It would have been way cooler for the spirits been more important for her kit or possibilities of summoning her friend.

[@noproaxolotldragon8627]

I'm a bit surprised there wasn't more mentioned about the implications of Aurora having an interaction with Briar. I wasn't the one who realized this myself, but I saw a post about that possibly hinting at if not confirming that Briar's prison is located on the Freljord's frontiers. Curious what your take on this is tbh

[@leitm3912]

Didn't we already get a vid about the location when Briar released? she's kept in the same prison as Sion as she complains about him in a few lines. Pretty sure its under that tower in Noxus. I'd Imagine that Auroras voice line is happening after Briar escapes.

[@tamas9554]

Lines between characters have been stated for a long time to be non-canonical. They are what *would* happen if the two characters met, but those lines can be between characters who will never actually meet in the story. Like, Mordekaiser for example will never meet any of the Shadow Isles spirits, he just has some lines with them because they are also dark ghosts

[@heyyou3558]

a bit of fluf on top of that nice...nice pun indeed i think that it is even Sans aprooved

[@mrboo9253]

Just for the record: My prediction is since Swains Ravens have (more or less) recently been seen in multiple pieces of riot media (auroras mini game, arcane and multiple animations/cinematics) that the story after Arcane will focus around Noxus and Swain will play a very major role in that. My best guess would be a series or maybe even movie (since riot confirmed they are open to "other types of cinematic media") about the Noxian invasion of Ionia, mainly the end of it. I suspect two parallel story lines, one playing in Noxus and one in Ionia. After a while those story lines will cross each other, for either important characters of the Ionia line get sent to spie on/assassin someone in noxus, or (more likely) the someone important in the noxian story line will be sent to fight in Ionia and there the story lines intersect. There will obviously be a love subplot there (the two very different lovers who are not allowed to love each other type stuff), but the overarching plot will be pushing back the Noxians with the help of the spirits/nature of Ionia. Probably the finale will be something along the lines of killing Swain/separating him from the demon and locking him up, which will be, just to be clear, only a temporary solution for the underlying deeply in noxian culture rooted problems, but that is kinda needed in an ongoing story like the one riot games is telling in the lol universe. Or maybe im just tripping too hard right now xD

[@MX.6]

if i think about that, to me it would make sense but one thing i dont understand if noxus is invading ionia is he spying aurora just in case coz him knowing that she could get powers that could be used for help of the spirits pushing back the noxians he could then somehow try and prevent her from doing that i see no sense in him asking her to push away his army (i know much little bout the lore) myb someone from noxus meets aurora and gets change of heart and then backstabs noxus but i highly doubt she will apear in any big animation, maybe cinematic only

[@MX.6]

anyway yeah the prediction makes sense to me but who knows what the story will be
