Zyra lore update incoming?

With all the Vastaya stuff going on, Zyra is pretty similar to them in that matter. But what cought my attention more were these two lines Maokai says in his new VO to her: http://imgur.com/O5JQOhZ I mean, he can still only be ignorant or not knowing about her past, since they never met in the current lore, but we all know she HAD TO become a human or her doom would come rather sooner. But what I question more is the second line: http://imgur.com/FGQNJmC While it is a pun, it also is a thing her lore did not mention so far, because it always ended with her transformation. "Forgetting the roots" is also the same thing Xayah has something to do with, as she taunts other vastayan champions in a similar way.

What I want to say is, whatever might be coming, I hope lore team will mostly build up on what was said about Zyra instead of changing her story, because I just love it the way it is. Would be cool if we got to know who was the sorceress Zyra took body from instead of a woman ex machina, or if we learned what did Zyra do and where did she go after that - did she stay in the jungle? Did she get to explore the Runeterra and terrorized villiges she found? Did she join to any faction (I'm sure Noxus would welcome her with their arms open, imagine her attacking on or being attacked by a unit of noxian soldiers that actually convince her or manipulate her, as she doesn't know the tricks of human world, to join them)? Because there's so much more to see!

I have a theory that the garden that Ahri visited in her lore was the garden Zyra was born from. I believe the part at the end of her lore about the garden not forgetting her will bring about Zyra, who would be the will of the garden. If that's the case, Zyra's goal would be to find Ahri to take the rest of her memories. But it's just my theory, so take it for what you will.

I think it implies that we will eventually get a lore expansion on Zyra at some point, but much like how Swain got referenced by Rakan and Xayah, or Soraka by Aurelion, I don't think it necessarily means we will be getting a Zyra lore update any time soon.

Zyra's character isn't fantastic atm, and she's mainly just part of the 'Sexy 6'. All her lore will do, is be there to justify her crappy design, but who knows, it might end up standing out as being genuinely compelling and developed.

Short answer: no.

Long answer: probably not, you're reading too much into it.
