Honestly im big on lore and i've been looking on a bunch of zoe threads and people dont seem to like the fact that she looks the way she looks or that the aspect of twilight chose a child, but isn't that what makes her so unique? Like aspects are these powerful entitys who entrust people to be gifted an immense amount of power(unless its pantheon and then that aspect is just a bitch) , so far we have the backstorys of the other aspects but people are kind of jumping to the whole she's a child or she looks unrealistic(even though league is the furthest thing from realistic). I think people are forgetting that in the case such as Taric even AFTER the process of climbing targon, the aspect of the mountain still looked into his soul to determine if he was truly worthy right? Despite the whole absurd amount of aspects within this time period. Twilight is defined as the "soft glowing light from the sky when the sun is right below the horizon" and taking into mind of that definition, it makes you think of being on the brink of waking up and just overall gives you a comfortable safe warm vibe. People seem to think twilight has something to do with stars and thats more of aurelion's specialty but, point of my ramblings is that Zoe was probably chosen because an ideal child perfectly embodies the feeling of twilight(even though children are monsters irl) Innocence, whimsical, bright, comforting, and the border between night and daytime/sun and moon. I think it was a genius idea to create a child aspect, give the people of runeterra some joy and truly emobdy the wonder of twilight! Besides its not as if we dont have three other grown ass serious aspects. Thanks for stopping to read my ramblings, just my thoughts!

All the aspects are bitches. Pantheon is just the biggest bitch of the lot.

But, anyway, I think the problem that some people are having is that, at present, Zoe doesn't really fit the tone of the Targon lore thus fare provided. Leona was rewritten to go through a whole murder zealot phase. All the aspects became complicit in the enslavement and betrayal of their friend, Sol. Diana is still a murderer. And Taric, who is the good one, still had to go through the backstory of being a complete and utter incompetent as a military leader, and was exiled from his home.

They all have this theme that plays on the old Greek Tragedies, in one way or another.

Then, there's this girl who looks like she jumped out of a cartoon and sounds like she's about to start singing a song out of High School Musical or something. She doesn't quite fit the tone that the other champions seem to be pushing toward.

However, this doesn't mean she doesn't fit the story. As of now, the Space Targonians have no personality, no clear motivation, no understandable criteria for how they pick Aspects, and no actual explanation to how their powers work. So Riot can do whatever they want, and it will make as much sense for the Targon story as anything else. It just means that the Greek Tragedy theme is no longer prevalent, it may never have even been intentional. That's really it.

Things to think about:

Zoe is at the end of childhood.

Solar reflect the sun. Lunar reflect the moon.

Also ragnarok is an interesting word.

hmmm.....

YOU LEAVE PANTHEON ALONE, THE MAN JUST WANTS TO BAKE!

In general I hope that we'll get some insight into the aspects with her. For most champs the whole "aspect"-thing seems more like an sidenote,it doesn't really feel like Taric Diana or Leona share their bodies with another entity(I mean at least in Pantheons case it is kinda justified)
