Cithria as A Champion Idea (LoR --> LoL)
Cithria looks to be the Legends of Runeterra card that Riot put the most work into. I'd be surprised if they aren't planning or already in the process of making her a champion.
That being said, I think there is a core idea for her gameplay design that should be the idea when creating her.
In Legends of Runeterra, she has 3 cards that show different states of her as a soldier. Why not do the same for her champion design?

MAKE HER UPGRADE LIKE
!!
Early game she'll be the new recruit, then by mid to late game she'll go to a seasoned warrior (Vanguard Squire) to Cithria the Bold.

To differentiate her from
or
, she could upgrade through time in the game. Say 12:30 and 25:00, and have kills and assists lower the time to her promotion. The time being negotiable, obviously.
She'd start as a weak champ early, depending on teammates and small skirmishes for kills and assists, with her abilities improving when she upgrades or promotes. Going from a weak skirmisher to a great teamfight fighter later in the game!
