I'm going to sound ignorant right about now...

... and immature. But my ADHD mind has to ask a couple questions about the female yordle champions.

First question (and stay mature, people): Is Tristana the only yordle with cleavage?

I mean her classic skin makes us know it's there. Some of her other skins (like buccaneer) make it obvious, and so on. Poppy has no such...features. Granted she wears armor to battle, so that makes sense that even if she had them, we would be none the wiser. Lulu is wearing cloth clothing. Makes sense since she is a magician instead of a warrior. Do I see anything? No. You could argue that Lulu is still a kid, but Riot has not confirmed the ages of any champions. You could say that she acts like a kid, but it is also possible that she is an adult yordle who acts like a kid because she's that nuts. Of course, she had to have matured, since her own time is centuries earlier. Her parents are long dead and any family she might have now would have no idea who she was, meaning it is up to her to survive.

Side note: I am Lulu on the RP boards, and I have her as a young adult. Since my writing tends to be more dark, I don't have her as happy go lucky as most people would.

Second question: I have read many RPs and fanfiction. Of the three of them, Lulu easily takes the prize of "most loud and obnoxious." This would probably be almost universally agreed on with the community (with some exception, I'm sure). That said, how come she has the fewest voice lines of all three of the female yordles?

Lulu wears the typical fluffy robes of a mage. Think of Merlin's robes from Disney. They're baggy and shapeless and designed to do 3 things. The first is to provide protection from the elements, and often other magic. Robes were often enchanted with protection from heat and cold, resistance to tearing, and so on. The second is to carry magical components, so they have many pockets and whatnot inside, adding extra space (you don't want that shard quartz stabbing you in the chest because of tight clothing. The third ties partly into the second. Robes were often intentionally shapeless, for a few reasons. Being baggy and having extra space, you could argue that that helps keep your magical components away from you, that's partly a safety and partly a convenience point. However, very commonly, the ropes were designed to help obscure the silhouettes or other identifying features of the wearer. Do you know that's a wizard? Sure. Do you know who that wizard is? Not until you're close enough to get blasted. Do you know what he or she is going to blast you with? Nope, because the baggy clothing also helps hide their components and runes etc.

League's lore never explicitly says whether this is the case or not. You could argue that all the mages in League are different. Whatever the case may be, we can't explicitly say whether or not Lulu's clothing would obscure those features.

Just my input on it, could be an entirely different reason. It does seem like Lulu is the equivalent of human 15-17, but until it's confirmed I'll just stick with "I'm not sure, but this may be why."

Whether that's the reason or not, you know a little more about traditional mages now, so that's something.
