Lore:

Little Somelina never stood in place. Born in Ionia to a calm and respected family, Somelina broke the stereotype. She was a risk seeker, she was either climbing tall trees or buildings, either she practiced her sling-shot skills on inked marks she drew on structures, or stealing to purposely get in trouble and get chased, but then hid and in the end of the day returned the stolen goods. For her deeds she was usually yelled on by the locals and by her parents.

Spirituality, harmony and magic never had place in Somelina's personality. Her parents knew that and so did she, she declared that a fitting place for her would be Piltover and even in its anti-criminal forces. Her parents agreed on the location suitable for the gal but not the working place. At the age of ten, she and her mother took sail for Piltover, leaving her father and brother in Ionia. Her life in Piltover was not poor, as her family possessed wealth. She went to school and was mostly interested in craftsmanship, chemistry and sports. But even in Piltover, the troublemaker never ceased to be a disturbance. Her mischief became slightly worse. She stole equipment and chemicals from merchants and display labs never to be returned. Away from her mother's sight, she crafted a bolt action rubber bullet shooting pistol and practiced chemistry with no accidents, creating new chemicals. The substances would be contained in small tubes that she carried with her or in bullets for her pistol. She made teachers miss a lesson or give good grades using the mixtures, confusing their own thoughts. The bullets were used on bullies or people she detested, causing them to do absurd, inexplicable actions or have unexpected cramps. She got caught multiple times and her mother was informed. She wasn't expelled for the sole reason of her being a prodigy. Her mother threatened her to take her back to Ionia, Somelina promised to stop and use her capabilities to have a profitable future. Playing hide and seek against Somelina was an impossible challenge for other kids, her sports achievements were overwhelming, and her chemistry and crafting abilities led her to multitudes of prizes for her projects and presentations. She finished the University of Chemistry and Technological Progress with one of the best ratings ever. She didn't join the police force, but her pistol served her and the sheriff of the city, Caitlyn, very well. Somelina, seeing Caitlyn's rifle, grew fond of her and expressed her admiration and weapon of choice. Caitlyn thought she might return the gratitude for Somelina's help by giving private practice for her fan. Her mother was worried for her no more, her daughter had a bright future ahead of her. Her mother had no interest in staying in Piltover, and with her daughter grown smart and capable of living a balanced life, she sailed back to Ionia.

Somelina was payed by universities and labs for mere ideas that she proposed, as they were showing success most of the times. It was not even necessary for her to exit the house. Her life started to become melancholic, until one boring day she came up with an idea for an equipment set. After researching the whole city of Piltover, she did not find suitable components for her creations. She knew she had to go venture off to find everything she needs, and she was only happy to do so. She assembled a rifle with the parts she found in Piltover, completing part of her equipment in mind. She packed her backpack with food containers, books, note books and antidotes for almost any sort of poison, venom, and common injections. She left her house with a maid and two guards with a payment for 5 years in advance.

First place she went to find chemical components was Zaun, it was the closest one. She found a market with a variety of potions and liquids. She bought a good amount of potions, she needed one more, but a bald man with a mask on his mouth pushed her away and ordered what she wanted despite the fact that she was first in line. She tried arguing with the man but to no success, he was too rude in addition with his size, he was not one to mess with, he was much taller. He left off, Somelina purchased what she could and pursued him. She sneaked behind the man, and pulled out the liquid carefully out of his bag. As she was about to run, the man pulled her back and lifted her in the air, choking her. She kicked him, making him drop her. As she tried to run away again, he grabbed her again and put one hand on her mouth. She heard him say "Quiet, quiet now, it's bed time." as she felt a needle penetrating her skin. She knew what it was, before the syringe was completely injected. She kicked him again in the guts and escaped his grasp. She felt weak, she pulled out an antidote against common injections and felt the effect wearing off. Before the crude man recovered, she took her pistol and shot him, causing him to cramp and spasm out on the ground before fleeing. She mixed the chemicals retrieved, completing another part of her gear.

Passing through the Ironspike Mountains and carefully over passing the Noxian border, she made her way across Mogron Pass and then through the Shuriman deserts arriving to the jungles of Kumungu. Before entering completely in to the wilderness, she had to prepare herself. She fabricated a cloak made out of leaves and other plants and covered herself in "Scentless potion" making her impossible to be detected by scent. She searched the jungles for plants containing liquid with astonishing effects, "Axolitis" fruits, different species with different effects along with "Bandlerasu" fruits in order to wear off the side effects of non Yordles upon entering Bandle City. She set up a camp in the middle of the Kumungu jungle, leaving her backpack and some of the fruits collected there. Upon retrieving another sackful, she made her way back to camp. As she was approaching, she detected a Yordle taking out the fruits out of her backpack. She voiced "Hey!" making him aware of her presence and taking a break for it. She prosecuted after him until she made it to shoot a dart at him making him dizzy. As she was about to draw near, he fired a blinding dart back at her. She fell back in pain and immediately took out antidote. As she recovered promptly, she got up and fired her rifle at the Yordle. He started dodging her bullets, until he escaped her line of sight. She ran into a bush, she knew what was going to happen, she sensed something behind her as she shoved her elbow back hitting the Yordle in the nose making him step out of the bush whilst covering his face from the aching. She ran out the bush into another, causing him to lose her. She had him in her scope, she shot next to him. He flinched and looked around himself. He lowered his head and to show defeat he dropped his bag containing the stolen goods and went off.

She entered Bandle City, she was welcomed nicely. Asking for what she was searching for, the Yordles offered her everything they had in the domain of what she was seeking. She had no problem finding it, Yordles were full of equipment for almost anything. She grew admiration for another weapon that one of the Yordles were carrying. It was a canon, and Somelina started interviewing. As they grew fond of each other, the Yordle girl offered her some flammable powder and explosives that she used for her own fire-arm. She inquired for a crafting table and crafted the alpha plan for her complete equipment and headed back to Piltover.

In Piltover, she constructed the complete versions of her armor, rifle and dart pistol. She felt complete. One day, she discovered from her tutor and friend Caitlyn that Noxus has initiated a war against Ionia, not knowing Somelina's origins. Somelina immediately got up, geared up and before setting sail to Ionia, she had a few things in mind. Somelina approached the Noxian shores and disrupted a good amount of attacks, sinking ships with her explosives, ambushing brigades, darting soldiers or high ranked commanders to either attack their own comrades or changing planned tactics for future failure, and setting flame to docks and valuables. The army became highly aware of the unknown infiltrator, knowing that, she returned to Piltover and sailed to Ionia to fight beside the Ionian army in protection of her mother land, friends and family.

Strategy:

Playing as Somelina:

In lane: In lane, minions are your weapons. If enemy is harassing you, you use Confusion to make the enemy go the opposite direction and then dart him with Traitor so the minions will attack. As soon as the ability wears off, use Utter Panic to deal great amounts of damage, and turn their own harassment against them.

If you're the one harassing, use Confusion and Traitor for the same effect. Even if the enemy will figure out the inverted controls, Traitor will still make their own tower target them if they weren't in it's range previously.

Muscle Spasm can be used to disrupt enemy ganks, or damage a target by using their own ally.

In the jungle: You move faster, you have the upper hand. Invading has been made easier because of Utter Panic. Approach the enemy's starting buff and wait. If you are chased down, you may use Confusion or Traitor so the jungle's monsters will attack the enemy following (applies to Drakes, Herald and Baron).

Playing against Somelina:

Make sure you have a shielding or a healing ability or someone who possesses it with you. Most Somelina's abilities are disrupted by healing, shields and debuffs. If you are being harassed by her, make sure to mostly stay in your tower's range. And make sure, if you are hit by Confusion to quickly understand the control.

Suggested Items:

Black Cleaver grants Somelina AD, movement speed and cool down reduction. Perfect for her kit. Boots of Swiftness lets Somelina move faster, and even faster in the jungle, bush and river. Ionian Boots of Lucidity for movement speed and cool down reduction. Rapid Fire Canon increases her range, it affects her Utter Panic. Also increases attack speed, which is always useful. Death's Dance helps her in jungle and in lane, healing her self using her auto-attacks and Utter Panic. Skirmisher's Warrior can be good for executing faster smited enemies. Stalker's Warrior is useful to catch up with enemies and using the usual combo. Essence Reaver is useful for her abilities with AD and restoring mana. Muramana for gaining mana while attacking. Luden's Echo is useful for her movement speed, but the Passive effect can be really helpful on her Muscle Spasm to deal extra damage on enemies surrounding the target.

Skin Ideas:

Omega Squad Somelina: Giving her a darker shade, turning her armor and cloak to black and attaching a gas mask to her face. Wearing her hoodie at all times.

Police Officer Somelina: Making her childhood dream come true. Somelina wears the attire of a police officer. She's not wearing her cloak and armor and instead a navy blue uniform, a boonie and tactical goggles. Her sniper rifle is now painted in the same way as her pistol and is also bolt action.
