Now that that's out of the way, let's get to the actual champion concept.
Valiya - The Voodoo Priestess
Lore: As a young child of Ionia, Valiya an already adept mage, became the apprentice of Karma. Under Karma's tutelage, she honed her skills and became one of the most talented mages in all of Ionia. During the Noxian siege, she became enamored with one of the Noxian soliders, Draven. She watched from afar as he effortlessly cut men down with his axes, without hesitation. His flair for the dramatic quickly had her swooning.
After the Noxian retreat, Valiya left her childhood home to travel to Noxus to try to win Draven's heart, defying her mentor's wishes and robbing her blind to pay for the trip. She stayed as close to Draven as possible. She was at every execution and marveled at Draven's attention to detail and his ability to draw a crowd. She had gone from a pacifist who abhorred violence, to someone who actively endorsed it, just for a chance to see her beloved.
Draven, however, never returned her affection. He was far too obsessed with his own glory to waste time with the childish and weak notions of romance. Scorned, Valiya exiled herself to the mountains of Noxus, plotting her revenge. After a chance encounter with the vampire, Vladimir, Valiya soon became enamored with the art of blood magick, a practice outlawed in her native Ionia. Vladimir, enamored with her, took her under his wing, and she learned much under the hemomancer.
Valiya was far too obsessed with revenge against Draven to ever acknowledge, let alone return, Vladimir's affection. The two soon parted ways, with Vladimir choosing to join the league. Having heard the stories of Kalista, Valiya ventured to the Shadow Isles. She continued to study hemomancy and witchcraft. One day, while experimenting with blood magic, Valiya cast a spell allowing her to shed her mortal coil completely to continue to perfect her craft for all eternity.
Valiya, now an immortal, proceeded to broker a deal with Kalista, to enact revenge on Draven. Lacking a soul for the binding, she instead offered her magic to give Kalista Draven's soul when the time came. Kalista agreed and the two have been a formidable team ever since.

Valiya's kit offers viable solo-lane and support roles.
As a support, Voodoo Doll would allow for excellent procing of the spellthief's edge passive. The slow on Hands from the Grave aids her ADC's ability to chase/escape, while the Hungered Hands empowerment offers both a knockup and a root along with it for a huge cost. Salt the Earth's attack speed reduction will aid her carry in being able to out trade the enemy, with the Bloodied Battlefield empowerment improving her team's sustain and reducing the sustain of her opponents.
As a solo laner, her passive rewards her for poking the enemy champion as well granting her some health from when her opponent damages her (%age of damage inflicted by Voodoo doll). Both Hands from the Grave and Salt the Earth offer decent farming tools as well as helping to set the stage for jungle ganks. Her E also aids in zoning out the enemy and makes laning stage a bit harder for the enemy.
