I might be a bit biased ,but thank you for not going with the ˝sex-crazed monster˝ style. Most of the community was always the opinion that she had to sleep with someone to steal their soul.,which was never confirmed nor denied.

I love the fact that took the approach of monster that wants to be human.The conflict between what you want and what you are.The guilt of taking another life to sustain yours.The emotion you go through,the thing you have to struggle everyday.The remorse you feel.

Not to mention the love story.That was heartbreaking. Being a monster learning to love and then finding someone who does.Even after finding out what she was,he still wanted her. He,taking his life ,makes this even more tragic.

To anyone who wrote story( I assume more people wrote it?) .Thank You.It was breathtaking and You hit the mark on Ahri,how I always imagined her to be. Not a cold blooded killer,but a creature tortured by her nature.Someone with empathy.

Jellbug was the writer for all of Ahri's stuff. I'll pass along the good word!

I alway saw ahri in two ways:

1- in the actual game, I saw her as a fox who tried to be human by killing people.

2- the sexy fox that has 1264 pictures on a certain website and that keeps on wanting the D.

"how I always imagined her to be. Not a cold blooded killer,but a creature tortured by her nature.Someone with empathy."

Well, technically, this is what she was before. It's just that Ahri's kit and such makes the community make her that way, usually for personal enjoyment and for the LULZ.

Why ohh why does this retcon exist? we went from a Fox who wanted to be human to Mowgli and continues riots new mission to pile angst onto her. You already had a character riot why are you remaking it?

One thing I'm a bit annoyed with is they basically made her a soul crazed essence vampire.

Even in her short story, when she first met the fortune teller, she had to resist the urge to drain her soul, which all in all isn't much different than a guilt filled yet blood addicted vampire.

I liked that she resolved not to kill again, but there was no word of her wanting to be human like in her old lore, only that she identified with her victims more, and thats about it. Ahri's desire to be human was perhaps the core part of her lore, even more than her seducing and soul devouring.

Also, I noticed that they didn't say she started out as a fox. They hinted at it, but they didn't say when she stopped being a fox and became what she is now, which suggested that she was always the vastaya we know her as.

Really? It's a rip off of a part of a novel call The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt - one that is WAYYYYY better written than this _ E for effort I guess

It was pretty Rammus OK Rammus in my opinion; fundamentally different from what I imagined. Changing from fox to vastaya removes the connection between physical appearance and inner reflection. This is more important than you might think. It makes her less empathetic to me since she's now just getting drunk on memories now instead of choosing between a selfish dream and a growing morality. Now she's just choosing between hunger and morality. While it preserves the theme of self-acceptance, it severely alters the duality between desire and morality. The question "What does it mean to be human?" has just been kicked to the curb. It was also just far too blunt for me.

My criticisms may sound harsh, but that's just because I'm focusing on the negatives. It's got some good points too; the parallel between flowers was decent though a bit artificial. It's a different direction from what I've always imagined, so I give it an Rammus OK Rammus.

Could someone elaborate on her lover's death? Did he drown? Or commit suicide? That was the only part I didn't quite get
