Lore Serene is a spirit that is known very well through out Valoran. Parents would tell their children that if they ever had trouble sleeping, they should ask for the help of Serene. The spirit would soon respond by showing up on their bed side. Serene may sing the child a lullaby or tell a bed time story. The method she uses always varies between the children, but her favorite was counting sheep. Serene has an astral flock of sheep that will leap out and into the dream realm upon her command. She does this as a visual aid for the child.

Her bed time stories are often mistaken as just that, stories. Actually, they actually happened. Stories of a prison that holds nightmares, of a forgotten moon goddess, and of a playful little girl that travels the universe. Very often she would tell a story of her precious daughter, Grace. She was beautiful, kind, and unsurpassed with a bow. If a child would ask if they could meet Grace, tears would run down the side of Serene's face as she would answer the child, "one day you will, but that won't be for a very long time." The only story about Grace that she will not share is the one of how she lost her to a wolf spirit. To this day she is unable to say the word wolf without hatred and anger in her voice.

Description Sheep like body (hooves for feet, sheep-like horns on either side of her head). "Wears" a wool dress that drags along the floor, along with wool wrist warmers. Eyes are covered up with wool. Serene has a beautiful, sexy physic so that she looks more motherly. She carries around a shepherd's cross, which she uses to direct her astral sheep.

Abilities Passive: Quick to Rest While out of combat, Serene and her nearby allies will regenerate 1-5%, based on level, of their missing mana per second.

Q: Counting Sheep Cost: 45 mana CD: 5 charges, 8 second recharge Range: 700 Passive Serene's basic attacks and wool abilities (Q and W) apply stacks of Counting Sheep to enemy champions. When an enemy champion has five stacks, they'll become Drowsy, falling asleep after one second. If Counting Sheep stacks would be given to a Sleeping champion, the champion will not wake-up, not take the bonus damage, and will instead have the duration of the sleep increased by 0.5 seconds. Active Serene commands one of her astral sheep to leap out of the dream realm, returning through target location. Any enemy hit by the sheep will take 40/50/60/70/80 (+0.4 AP) magic damage. Ally champions hit by the sheep will be healed for 80/100/120/140/160 (+0.8 AP). Serene can use this ability while moving.

W: Wool Blanket Cost: 40/50/60/70/80 mana CD: 10 seconds Range: 600 Serene grants a wool blanket to an ally champion, shielding them for 120/150/180/210/240 (+0.66 AP) for 5 seconds. As the shield persists, basic attacks deal 10/20/30/40/50 (+0.33 AP) bonus magic damage.

Note: Basic attacks can't apply more than one stack of Counting Sheep. Giving Wool Blanket to Serene will not change this.

E: Shepherd's Tool Cost: 60 mana CD: 16/15/14/13/12 Range: 800 Serene thrusts her cross out in a line, dealing 80/90/100/110/120 (0.2 AP) magic damage to all enemies that the cross goes through. Upon going through an ally or enemy champion, she will stop thrusting to pull the champion to her.

R: Dream Shift Cost: 100 mana CD: 120/90/60 seconds Range: 500 Serene teleports herself and any nearby ally or any champions a short distance. Enemy champions that are asleep will take 200/300/400 (+0.9 AP) magic damage and have the Sleep effect refreshed. Any enemy champions that are not asleep will become Feared for 1/1.5/2 seconds. Putting an enemy champion asleep will reduce the remaining CD by 5 seconds.

Special Interactions Diana: Regarding in the moon goddess Annie Ekko Lulu Nunu: Children champions, Serene is very motherly towards them. Kindred: If you haven't figured it out from reading Serene's lore, Lamb is Serene's daughter. Bane (later Wolf) told Grace (later Lamb) about the final rest a human can have. When Grace took the life of a human for the first time, both Serene and the moon goddess were horrified. As punishment, the moon cursed cursed Grace and Bane, covering their faces with masks that could never be removed while at the same time linking their souls together. Overtime Grace would forget about her past, believing that she and Bane were always together. The two of them even forgot their own names, for as long as they knew each other, Grace would refer to Bane as Wolf, and Bane would refer to Grace as Lamb. Nocturne: An escaped convict of the nightmare prison from Serene's stories. Teemo: Serene points out that there are a lot of nightmares built around the little terror. Warwick: Serene hates wolves. Zoe: Zoe is the playful girl from the story mentioned in Serene's lore.

If she is a support so she may hardly cause enough 5 stacks on an enemy by her basic attacks. She may be busy to care for her allies and use abilities rather than hit the enemies. I understand the passive is very useful and i think it's great to bring it in. However, i think you should put some more peculiar effects to her passive. The E is much like the combination of Blitzcrank Q and Thresh W. In case pulling an enemy to her she must be a bit tanky i suppose. And the R may be quite complicating and doesn't it sound like another bit-different version of her E?
