[Champion Concept] Kashu, the Voice of the Wood

Currently, League of Legends lacks a character who sings. This idea came to me when I thought about Sona, and development for a deeper story line and family line.

Today, I will present Kashu, which is Japanese for "singer". She is a mage/support who excels in close-proximity combat due to her anti-dive spells.

She is based off of Galadriel from Lord of the Rings, and partially off of Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I drew the art myself but I am a terrible artist. Please excuse my lack of color. Her hair should be golden blonde, with her ends of the hair being streaked with violet or red. Her dress should be pure white.

Lore

Long ago, an infant was mysteriously left in the lush green grass of a forest deep within the isolated mountains of Ionia. Tree spirits found and took the crying child, and raised her as their own. Lacking the ability to see, she used her deep connections with the forest to heighten her other senses, granting her a way to perceive the world without sight. Her spiritual connection to her small wood gifted a small, red rose to take growth within her long hair, linking her body and soul to the forest. Soon, the tree spirits found that she had a dangerous gift of singing. Stories of the Voice of the Wood circulated around, as well as the fortunes that lied deep within the forest. Many plunderers sought those riches, and many were lured to deaths by a sound so sweet and succulent. She had become the guardian. When Noxus invaded the lands of Ionia, Kashu's forest was burned. Helpless, she said goodbye to the family she had known. Her faithful rose shielded her from the Noxians until she could flee from the forest. She became a wandering legend, until she found the gates of the League of Legends.

Kit

Kashu excels well in close-combat teamfights. Using her rose as power and her voice, she can utilize intense CC and protection with small range in exchange for massive amounts of damage in poke other mages have.

Base stats: (Most of these stats are based off of Sona, since Kashu is essentially Sona's twin sister) Health: 520 - 1930 Health Regen: 5.6 - 15 Mana: 330 - 1050 Ranged: 550 AD: 50 - 101 Attack Speed: 0.61 - 0.92 Magic Resist: 30 - 50 Armor: 30 - 70

Passive -- Blind Eye Kashu can use her sense of touch to understand her environment. If she is with 550 units of a stealthed unit (cannot be a ward) for 1 second, they will revealed to her.

EDIT: WAS NAMED "HEIGHTENED SENSES", BUT WAS THE NAME OF ONE OF QUINN'S ABILITIES. CHANGED THE NAME FOR CLARITY

{quoted}

I believe Heightened Senses is also the name of Quinn's W

Q -- Sweet Song Range: 600 Kashu sings a sweet song, charming all champions in a cone for 40 / 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 (+30% AP) //Since this skill is similar to 's charm, it needed to be significantly weaker since it is an AoE spell. Wildflowers grow around charmed champions. EDIT: ALL CHAMPIONS CHARMED WILL GO TO KASHU, ENAMORED BY HER SWEET SONG

{quoted}

Q - The AOE cone charm sounds really cool to me. Perhaps the effect is wildflowers grow up and enemy champions kind of wander in her direction (giving the idea of being enamored by all that's around them, not just her). If the rng of that is annoying (like fears were) then they might just make it a straight line, meh.

W -- Briar Patch Range: 700 Kashu sings for a vicious briar patch to grow. Champions are hit in a 250-unit radius and are rooted for 0.5 seconds. They are dealt 40 / 120 / 165 / 210/ 265 (+55% AP) and are afflicted with a bleed that ticks away 12 / 15 / 20 / 30 / 50 for three seconds.

E -- Affliction Range: 800 Kashu uses her deadly voice to afflict harm to a target. It deals 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+50% AP).

R -- Emblossom Kashu sings to her rose. The rose expands and encases her in its protective petals, granting her a shield for 150 / 300/ 450 (+15% AP) health. Her allies within 150-unit radius will receive half the shield bonus. While the rose channels for 3 seconds, all units within the 150-unit radius will be slowed. When the 3 seconds ends, they will be drawn into the center of the rose and knocked back to the edge of the radius. Enemies will be dealt 150 / 300/ 450 (+40% AP) magic damage.

Unique Passive: Guardian While Emblossom is not on cooldown, Kashu gains spell damage based on enemy champions present within 800 units. This passive scales with level. Level 6: 2% increased spell damage per enemy champion Level 11: 4% increased spell damage per enemy champion Level 16: 6% increased spell damage per enemy champion

For a total of 30% increased spell champion

Aesthetics

Since I have now covered everything else, I will talk about her design further now.

She has long, blond hair that has violet or red tips in it. A violet or red rose grows at the corner of her face and its vines trickle down her hair. She wears a white, ornamented dress that is worn at the bottom because she has wore the dress for so long. Since she uses her feet to see, they will have to be bare feet she walks on. Her eyes are white because she is blind. She should look Elvish, since she is based off of one.

Wrap-Up

Thanks for reading my concept!

I will continue to update it as new ideas come along and improve upon this champion. I really appreciate up votes and good comments. I am sorry for the crappy art, but I am not an artist and this idea meant so much for me. The scalings are easily adjusted, they're just ideas, anyway. Thank you!
