Thoughts on Kalista: Inspection
Just somethings that I noticed while reviewing the Art/Audio files of Kalista and looking over the Lore.
Its a Curious thing, Her Armor looks Demacian/Ionia. She may have some Affilation to the Old King of Demacia. (This also suggest in her blood moon skin that ties her to the ninjas as well)
But her stance and style suggests that she may also have affiliation to The Area where Nid/Rengar/Skarner/Rammus comes from. which in turn also has some affilation with Surima, Might she be Azir's wife from ancient times? In history Kings would often send their children off to marry into other kingdoms to keep the peace between them; Judging by her Dialog it may entirely be the case. (The Betrayers)
Also something to note about her Kit, Alot of her damage depends on her SoulBound Ally, Which COULD suggest that she was never actually a Warrior , but perhaps someone who Always had an Aid, or assistant. Someone who, while living; always had someone to guard her as she may have been someone VERY important of her old kingdom. 1/3 of her kits damage comes from her sending an ally out in front of her, or having that ally attack the same target she is attacking. While subtle this says a great deal about her character.
