Champion Concept - Zephys/Anema the White Squall

Okay first off let me say this is a very rough concept that I've thought of in the past week, I don't have too much ideas on stats and skill progression and stuff like that cause I know nothing about what makes what balanced, so I'm only giving my ideas of the lore, what she looks like roughly, her attack style, role, skill behaviors, and lore etc. This is my way of describing what happened to the Ionian elder Yasuo was protecting and how he died for all that are interested in his past and lore and want some closure. I'd love if you guys gave me other ideas and what you think should be changed / kept the same and stuff like that.

I'll begin with the lore:

Born in Ionia, she and her sister were separated at birth, her sibling raised only to be taught wicked ways of combat. Herself on the other hand, taught for a brief period in the Ionian sword school, discovered a true talent at a young age that would set her apart from many, and alike a certain few. This skill confused her at first, so she consulted the Ionian Elder about her gift. The elder, surprised by the age of the girl, told her that she had a natural gift that would reward her greatly, but could also cause great harm if used correctly. The girl perplexed by the answer asked what the ability was. He told her she had grasped the wind technique at a extraordinarily young age, and believed she should practice, but in private to elude the interest of Ionian generals to use her merely as a weapon. So she practiced at the peak of Tevasa Mountain, gaining extreme control over the power of the wind until complete mastery. She then went to the Elder and explained what she had done, and the Elder presented her with an ancient box, containing an ancient Ionian blade, forged in the mountains by the first of the Ionians to manipulate and control the winds to the wielders desire, but there was a cost. He told her in order for her to accept the blade, she most vow to protect Ionia for eternity, for the blade granted immortality to those who took upon the responsibility to become the White Squall of Ionia. Never had this task been accepted in generations, for none had even come close to being capable of harnessing the power of the winds. She pondered about the decision, she had devoted her life to mastering the wind technique, so at last, she accepted the Elder's gift. Once she opened the box, it seemed as if there was just a hilt. She reached in and grasped the handle, and instantly winds washed into her and flooded into her. The hilt grew a blade, but not of metal. The blade was conceived of trapped Ionian winds, and her eyes and hair turned bright white, sealing her fate. The first Ionian White Squall, in centuries.

Never did the elder see her return, her whereabouts unknown to only those who had accepted the task. Until the Noxian invasion.

The Ionian Elder was left abandoned by Yasuo who joined the fray of the battle, and moments after he left, she arrived to the Elder. As she arrived, a Noxian woman burst through the door, wielding a Noxian-magic infused blade. She stared at the Noxian, overcome by emotion, whom stared back. The woman..she looked just like..but it couldn't be. Flustered, Riven charged her, unleashing a gust of wind towards her and the elder. She slashed the air, causing the slash to break apart and avoid her. She looked up at Riven, whom looked distraught, gave one last glance and dashed out of the room. Perplexed by her actions, she turned around, only to find the Ionian Elder gasping for air. Guilt flooded over her, as she flashed over to him. He lay there, and spoke, "Do not be troubled my child, for you have great feats ahead, but you must go, find your peace however you may choose. The woman is who you believe. You will both find your way, and your paths will cross again. " Anger buried itself in her heart, and she clenched her hilt as it glowed with energy, and burst out, into the air.

Attack Style:

She wields Ventus, the ancient wind blade of Ionia, which is a melee form of blade, deals physical and magic damage She has no mana

Passive: Tempest Blade

As time progressives, her blade draws in wind, empowering her sword to deal extra magic damage and a slight knock back when fully charged, or she can save it for empowered abilities, which use charges from the blade, let me know if you guys feel like it should consumed the whole charge or just certain amounts, when her blade is charging it increases in size

Q: Vortex Dash (like Fizz) Basic: She performs a spiral dash that does magic damage to enemies in the path, decreasing in damage after the first enemy hit

wind fused: damage does not decrease, and the speed at which she dashes is increased

W: Wind Split (Like Yasuo)

basic: Much like Yasuo's wind wall, but in the since that it redirects abilities to go to the sides of her, the visual looks like two walls of wind that looks like a private first class insignia, basically a curved "^"

_wind fused: _

after casting, the walls shoot forward like an arrow dealing magical damage

(this has a decently high cool-down in order to be balanced) E: (Name placer)

basic: much like Kayle 's E, the blade wills the air in front of it to attack, causing her attacks to become ranged, but only damage the certain target with her basic attack and magic damage

wind fused: her first attack pushes her target towards her and applies a slow

Ult: Ventus Rush First cast: Ventus gains full charge and is imbued with wind magic Second cast: She calls the winds to cast Ventus forward, dealing magic damage to enemies in a line, and slightly pulling those close but not hit into a tunnel of air Third cast: the winds push her forward where the end of the tunnel is, reclaiming Ventus (she cannot attack when Ventus is thrown, and if the third cast is not activated after some time the blade returns to her or if she moves out of range)

Again, this is a very, very rough sketch of what I thought of, criticize me and do all that, I just thought it would answer some questions, along with an idea for a new champion. I'd love to here what you guys think. I know her skills take a lot of derivation from other champion skills, it's just how it came to me, in all honesty it's probably from playing league too much. Please comment about your thoughts or message me or add me ig. Thanks
