Hecate, The Dark Puppeteer
Hecate was made a few months ago during the summer time, one of my earliest concepts and undoubtedly my most favorite of them all. It received a lot of positive attention and has been tweaked here and there. I promised I would provide my own concept art but I find myself pushing it off. Attached is an extremely rough concept of her (Honestly not even close to an actual concept art) but nonetheless I will try to finish it or make it so that it can be seriously recognized as one. The link to the original forum can be found here. I hope you enjoy this Champion concept. -BlindXSide

Lore Hecate was born in the city of Piltover, a child who took great interest in the creations that had become animate. As she grew she had discovered she had a knack for making puppets, although she could never animate them to move on their own free will like most of the creations of Piltover. The other children laughed at her inability to create a fully animate puppet and made fun of her, mocking her, teasing her for being inferior, spitting venomous words that she will never amount to anything but an old lady with silent puppets. She grew up being teased and became a recluse hiding in her own workshop after her parents both passed away.
Hecate had worked day and night in her workshop, her hobby of making puppets turning into an obsession, as she worked tirelessly, her once fair skin became pale Her once innocent puppets went from little dolls to dark and rather demonic machinations, reflecting her inner hatred of those who had teased her. She vowed one day that she would get back at the other kids who had spat at her, laughed at her lifeswork, and ground her emotions into the dirt. One day she would stand over their bodies with her puppets at her side.
One fateful day a young man came into her workshop, intrigued by what he saw in the shop's window, the sweet innocent dolls that Hecate created when she was younger. Much too Hecate's surprise this young man shared the same interest in puppets as she did. He asked if he could work with her in the shop, and Hecate accepted his offer to work with her gratefully. Hecate left the darkness of her hidden workshop to work out in the light with this young man whom she had come to love, and he loved her as well. However she never allowed him into the dark hidden workshop, worried that he would leave her once he saw her horrible machinations. However the young man stumbled upon the workshop by accident and went to Hecate for an explanation. Hecate shamefully explained the reason behind it, about her horrible past. The young man listened in silence as she told her story and when it ended simply nodded and hugged her. He understood her pain, and it was strange that they somehow shared the same past. After that they lived together happily, and Hecate finally managed to find the strength t step foot out of the shop for the first time in years.
However she was recognized by the outside world, and they laughed at her even more, commenting about how her skin had become that like a ghost which she might as well have been. The young man had shielded her as he simply shrugged their words off, comforting her. On one night, one that Hecate would never forget, the two went on a night walk, in each others arms when they encountered a group of drunk men. They turned to the couple demanding they hand over what they had. When the young man stepped to protect Hecate, he was slashed across the chest, his wounds fatal. To Hecate's horror she knelt next to the young man, where she too would have suffered a similar fate if Piltover Law Enforcment had not come and intervened. She took the young man's body to her shop and mourned for days. When the tears had stopped she decided that she would never let this man die. She took the body to her hidden workshop where she constructed her most prized puppet, but still it was unable to move. In her anguish she carried this puppet to the Shadow Isles, the one place she knew in her soul, that she could breathe life into this puppet, her loved one. She was surrounded by the dark energies of the Shadow Isles as she was granted the power to breathe life into the inanimate, thus bringing the puppet to life. Hecate would get revenge and use her newfound powers as well as her puppet to kill those who ever laughed at her.

Personality: Hecate is a bit of an introvert, although after she joined the League became a borderline psycho in battle. She likes to keep to herself a majority of the time being that she does not like being teased as she had before when she was younger. She rarely shows her emotions outside of battle to anyone in the League, often being as emotionless and expressionless as the puppets she creates. However in combat she becomes a bit more expressive and begins to talk more, often showing a side to her that was not quite apparent, taunting her enemies and such while becoming a bit more psychotic, most likely due to the rush of adrenaline brought on by battle.
