Ascended Sivir: What Would She Be?
Ascension, as we have seen, tends to give those who undergo it animalistic qualities.
Given the Egyptian theme of Shurima, it is no surprise that the Ascended would thus resemble animals that get closely tied to Egyptian mythos.
Nasus the Jackal Renekton the Crocodile Azir the Hawk Cassiopia the venomous snake (yeah, she's technically not an Ascended but narrative-wise she fits)
We actually don't know what Xerath initially Ascended into before Renekton and Nasus shoved him into the casket he broke out of but that ties into the main point of this post.
The main point is that, for fun, I was thinking out dialogue ideas for a Legendary skin for Sivir that was, "What if she accepted her destiny and underwent Ascension to take down Xerath once and for all?"
However, I hit a stumbling block when I realized there are actually two animals most traditionally tied to Egyptian Lore currently unaccounted for:
The Cat and The Hippo.
The cat for Sivir seems a little easy/lazy but the hippo seems like it might make for people making uncomfortable jokes about it.
Which do ya'll think might be better to come up with dialogue for?
(And yes, depending on the choice, this means Xerath was either an evil catman or an evil hippoman before the casket stuffing.)
