Any chance we could get Kahina from Lux's lore as a Champion?

[Champion Concept] Kahina, the Cursed Knight

The name just speaks to me, and giving us a new Champion who's a canonical friend to Lux would just make it sweeter.

In particular, I'd love it if she took up the niche of "Dark Knight", in that she's a clearly good person but uses dark powers. I know Kai'sa sorta does this, but a major difference could be drawn here as well: Kai'sa uses such powers out of necessity (she has to in order to survive), while Kahina could use her dark powers out of her own choice (she knowingly damns herself for a good cause, not because it's good for her well-being).

Champion or not, I just want to know what she looks like. She's got a lot of potential for an interesting character, and it would be cool to have her in a lore comic. I imagine her to be a somewhat grim and serious mentor to foil Lux's idealism and optimism.

Yeah, she'd be a nice champ. Garen fills the "Knight" niche, but you're right, we don't have a Dark Knight.

I'd also like to see Rafen (MF's first mate) and Tamara (Noxian warmason) in the game.

I’m fine with more development of side characters, but why does she need to be a champion? Couldn’t you develop Lux to be friends with the other champions? Also why a dark knight? Do we even know what her magic is?

I'm kinda torn on this one.

On the one hand I agree that Kahina sounds like champion material. I mean she is the leader of a warrior order(who are likely not above using magic) and was the one who introduced Lux to the illuminators.

On the other hand however I feel like she'd be kinda similar to Leona in that regard,as both are female leaders of a warrior order of a religious group(and going by your suggestion,both would be knights using magic)

Also while I think that a dark knight kind of character could be interesting,it also comes off as odd to have such a character among the order of the radiant ones,who are part of the illuminators.

I'd have it be that she takes on a dark power after inducting Lux into the Illuminators. Something along the lines of willingly taking on a curse and becoming darkly empowered by it, and then turning that power into a force for good.
