[Champion Concept] Sophie - the Blade Dancer
###Lore:
"No Poro nor any other creature will die for your selfish cause; Sevil, prepare to die!" - Sophie, the Blade Dancer
"I can't remember everything from my past - not where I was born in first place nor even the faces of those I loved, if I ever had the chance to love someone.
The things I remember, was when I graduated in Piltover's Acadamy as one of the best and youngest successors worthy of an title. Funny thing is, that I don't remember the faces of my parents, but I still know how proud they were. Perhaps I had a family who loved me truly..
Everything else is like a blurry image, nothing that makes sense when I try to connect them together. I wanted to help the environment, to help Valoran to become a great balanced economy with nothing so cruel like rivalry between countries. When the Institute of War was created and successfully established among the nations of Runeterra, I believed that this world was going the right path to peace, even though just illusionary, but atleast no collateral damage and direct damage was given to the victims of war.
The earliest things I do still remember, is her face... Miss Emylia Sevil, the evil in person. I don't know how I ended up being her assistant and co-chairman, perhaps I lost my dreams like now I lost my memories. From the official documents I was given by the Institute of War, I realized how much I destroyed this entire world by joining her company 'FEIL' (Fur.Eden.Imperial.Love). With my past presence, I agreed to murder innocent creatues for their fur. Emylia Sevil didn't care about the lives she had taken, but rather cared for gold and her so called 'godly creations', the clothes.
Then it happened, I was on a journey to capture small creatures who attracted Sevil's attention with their pure white fur. Somehow, when I was trying to capture those creatures, I fell into a frozen lake. I remember how painful it was to breath, I tried to scream but my voice was surrounded by cold black ice. In my last attempt to hold my eyes open, I saw how those brave little creatures dived into the water to reach me.
The next thing I knew, was when I awakened, literally. My hair turned white as the snow, my lips became scarlet red and my skin pale like the pure fur of those brave Poros. Perhaps this was the only reason, but since this incident, they are following me, protecting me with their life and are the only anchor that holds me between this world and death."
###Appearance:
Sophie looks similiar to this person, but with white hair, scarlet red lips and a pale white skin. (Click - redirect to deviantart and creator)

Sophie has extremely long hair like in the picture above. On the end of her hair, she wears a weapon that she uses to harm her enemies.
In classic, it's an axe/halberd.
In Icathia skin, it's two blades with a blade tip.
In Valentine's skin, it is two scythes embraced with an heart form.
In her Ultimate/Legendary "Living Blade" skin, she has some sorta airscrew of blades that spins like a clockwork or windmill.
Sophie is accompanied by a horde of Poros. The Poros have a leader, the one who managed to command and lead Poros. That's him:

###Champion Explanation
- Sophie's title as an Blade Dancer is given due to her fighting style. Without much of combat experience, she received powers from her near-death experience. In fact, Sophie kinda dances while she spins or sweeps with her hair that on the end is attached to a deadly weapon.
- As in Sophie's lore stated, she has a pack of Poros following her with no hesitation to fight for her. Of course these are normal Poros, but led by a special Poro who proved himself being a respectable and great leader. His word is the only reason why so many Poros follow him and Sophie.
- It is rumored that Sophie died in the frozen lake, because the part in her brain that holds her dearest memories are irreparable. However, accompanied by this rumor, Sophie's words of seeing "black ice" before she turned unconscious, might be true or not. If it is true, Sophie might've found a sacred altar of the Watchers where they have been forging their armies and prepared the ritual of an immortal like Lissandra, the Ice Witch is. Unfortunately, she does not remember where the frozen lake is.
- What makes Sophie and the people around her uncomfortable, is her multiple personality in the early stages. While she's not always fully aware of it, she sometimes changes mood from time to time for no reason. As a theory, many think that Sophie's near-death experience made her going through to a trauma which she tries to heal within her mind by turning her mood.
- "Emylia Sevil" leader and producer of the famous clothes company FEIL is very similiar to "Cruella de vil", the villain of the movies "101 dalmatians", who wants to kill the dalmatians puppies for their fur to make clothes for her.
- Sophie is the only one of her kind in this league who is a mage who stays a mage even though her abilities are somewhat physical focused. Due to her unique passive, she deals immense magic damage with physical attacks.
- One of Sophie's abilities "Poromantic" sends a big Poro to roll out. When the big Poro is on the end of the path, he explodes and a pack of poros (including the special poro) stay at that place until "Poromantic"'s cooldown is over.

| Ability | Name | Effect | Type | Range | Cost | Cooldown |- | Innate Passive | Infamous Edge | Sophie's basic attacks counts as magic damage, thus profits from magic penetration.

| Ability | Name | Effect | Type | Range | Cost | Cooldown |- | W | Poromantic | Upon activation, many Poros appear right under Sophie's feet and carry her. While active, Sophie receives +20%/30%/40%/50%/60% movement speed for 2.5/3/3.5/4/4.5 seconds. After each 3 casts of Poromantic and while Poromantic is active, Sophie is able to recast. Upon Recast: Sophie loses her movement speed. The poros disappear and become one big Poro. Sophie sends the big Poro to roll forward, it becomes bigger and bigger the longer it rolls(Like a snowball). Enemy Champions hit by the big Poro, are getting dragged back to the end. However, enemy Champions are able to interact, use skills and even move away while being affected. |M + SK|650| Cast: 0 mana / Recast: 70 Mana at all ranks | 8 at all ranks|

Immediately after activation, around Sophie there arises a glacial storm manifested as giant icicles that shoots out of the ground, deals damage to all enemies 450 range around Sophie and knocks them 350 range back and afterwads shatters. On rank 1 Sophie casts one icicle wave, on rank 2 she casts two and on rank 3 she casts three waves. Each wave deals 250/300/350 (+50% AP) magic damage and each wave appears with a 0.7 seconds delay between. Once a enemy Champion has been kicked back, it can't be knocked back again for 1 seconds. |AoE + DoT|450|100|110 / 90 / 70
###Concept Explanation & Personal Opinion
Sophie's really great at what she's doing. Her whole kit is based on dealing close damage and keeping enemies away from her. No Champion right now is like her - while other Champions are more based in CC or bursting, Sophie's speciality to deal huge damage whenever she can control the fight.
Her damage output is oriented by her Q, her basic attacks combined with her passive, her passively added true damage upon activation of E and the Ultimate. In a actual fight against a Champion, Sophie can only attack from a distance while being safe. Due to Sophie's lack of escape abilities, she can be easily captured and finished off. Once she gets caught, she can only use her Ultimate or her W to escape. Due to W's somewhat short duration, Sophie's having a hard time against special Champions.
Sophie excels against early-to-mid game Assassins like Kha'Zix, Zed, Rengar, but lacks of good counterplay against late game Assassins due to their strong bursts and Sophie's lack of survivability without her Ultimate. Other than that, Sophie can pretty much destroy AP mid Champions like Lissandra or Malzahar for example, as Sophie's Ultimate won't stop when Lissandra uses her ultimate on Sophie, because Stasis and suppresson won't interrupt her Ultimate.
The biggest problem and the greatest thing of Sophie is her Ultimate. While one single wave deals huge damage, combined with three waves, it deals TONS OF DAMAGE. Why is that so? Sophie possesses hidden power - while her Q is the only main damage ability besides Ultimate, her damage output is overall decided by her Ultimate. There is a tricky mechanic behind her Ultimate - If you use the Ultimate while the enemy is between you and a wall, your Ultimate will kick him to the wall and the waves will continue to damage him. Very evil ability, but can be countered: You can use flash or stay near a narrow wall to then get pushed behind instead.
###Quotes: Not feeling right about the quotes.. I don't know if its the time worth either.
