Here's something:
Kaerimn, Daughter of the Void
As a young child, Kaerimn was a very sickly, due to a terrible plague. Special doctors offered cures (see Black Scourge Singed), but despite their treatments, her condition would only worsen over time. She would be unable to see her own parents, as they feared also catching the horrific disease. Her parents cared for her greatly, and would read to her bedtime stories through the locked door, but she was still lonely. So she spent years locked away in a dirty hovel, with nobody to play with.
The shack she lived in was once the family library, a grand one, as she used to live in a magnificent mansion. However, as her parents desperately tried to find a cure, their funds drained away, and the household fell to disrepair. Friendless, Kaerimn spent her time burrying herself in books, learning to read from the stories her mother and father would tell her through the door. She would follow along the words using her own copy, and felt a connection to them, through books.
As she read more and more, she felt an increasing desire to go outside to see the things she read. She read about the refreshing scent of standing in a quiet meadow at dusk, as fireflies danced with the movements of the grass. She read about mighty mountains that towered over Runeterra, taller than any building in Piltover. She read about the adventures of a monkey, born from stone, who journeyed to the north defeating any who came in his way. She read about the Rune Wars, the recent development of advanced techmaturgy, and magic beings that dwelled around the land.
There was a small crevice in her confined room. She would press her nose and mouth up to it, trying to get a taste of the real world. She would always either be reading, or trying to see out of the crack. Now a young woman, she had a burning ambition to one day traverse the world she had read about. But she was now frail and could hardly stand without shaking uncontrollably. Her death was near. One early morning, before the sun rose, she saw a purple light coming from the slit in the wall. This was different from anything she had seen before. A low humming resonated through the wall, and she was transfixed.
Using an old Rune Book , she channeled its power (AD Rune Page), to break down the locked door, despite her parent's warning not to. She made way to the purple light, on the other side of the library-hut. As she walked, it was painful, but she revelled as she could now smell the outside air around her, and feel the grass gently caressing her feet. Finally, she gazed at the source of the purple light, and proceeded to go even closer to it. She recognized it, from the books she read. It was a Void Gate.
A cold shivered through her spine, and she collapsed onto the floor. The walking had exhausted her, and her last bits of health slipped away. As she struggled to keep awake, a creature slithered out from the portal. It was then as it hovered over Kaerimn's limp body, that it spoke. The Voidling saw the will to live in her eyes, so it struck a deal. It would grant her Void magic, which would prolong her life, and grant her incredible powers. She would be able to traverse the world. But there was a cost. When she had seen enough, the creature would absorb all the information of what she had experienced. Kaerimn agreed, and began her own path to the Institute of War (Is this canon anymore?) in hopes of paying back her parents for all that she had put them through. But with each pace she takes, she is one step closer to her inevitable end.
