The newAhri the Nine-Tailed Fox

Unlike other foxes that roamed the woods of southern Ionia, Ahri had always felt a strong connection to the magical world around her; a connection that seemed somehow incomplete. Deep inside, she knew the skin she was born with didn't quite fit, and she dreamed of one day becoming human. Her goal seemed forever out of reach until she stumbled upon the aftermath of a human battle. It was a gruesome scene, the land littered with wounded and dying soldiers. She felt drawn to one: a robed man surrounded by a fading field of magic, his life slipping away quickly. She approached him, and something deep inside her triggered, reaching out to the man in a way she couldn't understand. His life force poured into her on invisible threads of magic. The sensation was overwhelming and intoxicating. As her reverie faded, she discovered that she had changed. Her sleek white fur receded, and her body became long and lithe - the shape of the humans scattered around her. However, though she appeared human, she knew that in truth the transformation was not yet complete. A cunning creature, she adapted herself to human customs and used her profound gift of beauty to lure unsuspecting men into her trap. She could consume their life forces when they were under the spell of her seductive charms. Feeding on their desires brought her closer to her dream, but as she took more lives, a strange sense of regret began to grow within her. She had doubts about actions that never troubled her as a fox. She realized that she couldn't overcome the pangs of her evolving morality. In search of a solution, Ahri found the Institute of War, home to the most gifted mages on Runeterra. They offered her a chance to attain her humanity without further harm through service in the League of Legends. "Mercy is a human luxury... and responsibility." - Ahri
