**Senna, The Ethereal Fugitive Support **

(Passive) Make Them Pay: When Senna affects an allied champion with any of her abilities, they gain bonus attack speed for two seconds. Additionally, Senna ignores unit collision.

(Q) Battle is Joined: Senna fires a bolt of energy a medium distance in a target direction, affecting the first unit struck. Allied champions are healed and their next autoattack in the next few seconds crits, while enemies struck are damaged and stunned.

(W) Alone no More: Senna binds herself to a target ally champion at a medium range, becoming untargetable while proving her target with a speed boost and a shield based off of Senna's maximum health. Both abilities last for a few seconds. If the shield is consumed, or if the ability's duration ends, Senna reappears behind the targeted ally.

(E) Away With You: Senna causes a surge of energy in a small area around her, slowing all enemies in the area and forcing them a set distance away from her. This ability deals no damage to struck enemies.

(R) Break Before Us: After a short channel, Senna targets an allied champion, rendering them invulnerable for a few seconds and granting them increased movement and attack speed, as well as bonus cooldown reduction. Senna is silenced for the duration of her ultimate, and is she is killed or her ally moves too far away, the ability will end prematurely.

Backstory: Once the wife Lucian, she was killed by Thresh, and her soul absorbed into his lantern. Imprisoned for years, the sadistic jailer tortured her and her fellow prisoners for his own amusement. Despite her suffering, and her terrible predicament, Senna remained strong. No matter what Thresh did, no matter what secrets he tore from her mind, she refused to be broken. Throughout the dark years, Senna clung to her love for her husband, her memories of their time together her defense against the Chain Warden's torments. In time, her efforts were repaid, and she was able to assist her husband in defeating Thresh by leading those imprisoned in the lantern in revolt against their jailor, preventing him from defending himself against Lucian and forcing the Chain Warden to flee, badly injured. On returning to the Shadow Isles, Thresh extracted her from the lantern, both to prevent another revolt, and to allow him to bring more strength to bear on her without risking damage to his lantern. Thresh recognized the mistake he had made allowing an unbroken soul into his lantern, and he sought to right this error. However, Thresh had underestimated Senna once again. For years she had prepared for this moment. She had taught herself to harness her light, the same light that had allowed her to wield her light pistol in life. The moment she was free of the lantern, Senna struck, blinding Thresh with a bolt of light before releasing a wave of light that knocked the Chain Warden to the ground. Though Senna longed to stay and finish her tormenter, reason overruled passion, and Senna reluctantly conceded that alone she stood no chance against Thresh. Before the Chain Warden could recover his sight, Senna was gone, rushing over the waves to a city on the seacoast, where Lucian was attempting to persuade a captain to take him to the Shadow Isles. Such thoughts were forgotten when Senna arrived on the dock. Now reunited with her husband, Senna travels Runeterra with him, her focus in death what it was in life; seek out the undead, and and grant them peace.

Gameplay: Senna focuses on bolstering her allies, keeping them in the best shape possible while preventing the enemy from doing serious damage, or from making an escape once her allies begin to attack them. She lacks the damage and tools to win a fight on her own, but any ally with her becomes unstoppable.

Appearance: I normally prefer to provide my champions with an appearance, but seeing as I cannot and will not claim credit for Senna, I will leave that up to Riot to decide. Also, if Riot Games likes this idea and want to follow up on it, I would be open to discussion.

Creator's Note: I really hate the stuffed into the fridge trope. While I concede that Senna hasn't been as badly treated as some, I still think we can do better. Runeterra is a strange and wondrous place. Anything can happen. Come on Riot. Let the lady out of the lantern.

I love this idea. The need more relationships between champions out of game. With her being a support it'd be perfect if Lucian was ADC. #lettheladyoutofthelantern
