Kindred are a "they", not a "she"

I've seen a lot of people referring to Kindred as a "she". Kindred are a "they", They're both spirits, Lamb and Wolf.

A lot of people seem to think Kindred is Lamb, and Wolf is only some kind of pet. I understand that since you directly control only Lamb's body, it can be pertty confusing but still, Kindred is a whole composed of two spirits and when you are referring to Kindred, you must use "they". If you use "she", you are then talking about Lamb, but then you are not talking about the champion but only half of it (them?).

Hope that's clear, now.

Edit: Riot says "they", so this is clear what should be used. Edit 2: The man they're talking about in Listen to their tale is a metaphor for death, not an actual man, so "he" isn't valid.

Kindred is male, doesn't matter if he went all caitlyn jenner on himself.

We're calling it "She" because Lamb is the one you control and Wolf is the rather dumb A.I partner. Ironic that the Lamb is stronger in combat than the Wolf eh?

To be fair, with how the champion plays wolf feels like a "pet"

There isn't much of an interaction of wolf doing things, it feels more like wolf assists lamb now and then on spells, not like they are two halves of a whole

I've even seen people arguing that kindred is a he,since the original being was described as a man.

Well to be fair as "they" are 1 MAN split in two "He" would be better to describe Kindred

Honestly, I think people are going to keep referring to them as she, simply because she doesn't play as two people. She feels more like Lulu and Pix than two equals.

Kindred is a "SHEIT" pronounced 'SH-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT'

Definition: SHE * HE * IT = SHEIT (mathmatically it becomes SHE²IT) XD

I know that Kindred is a 'they', but I frequently say 'she' instead. Most of my reasoning there is that Lamb is the much more eloquent and talkative of the two, and Lamb has a very feminine voice. Thus, I automatically want to use 'she' even though I know that it is incorrect.

It's really just a reflex thing in my case. I try to get it right when I can though.

Still think 'Lamb' and 'Wolf' were dumb names for them, but I guess Riot knows best. Slowly losing faith in that, but for now all I have to do is nod, smile, and accept that they're just going to keep pumping out champs with mobility abilities on steroids with weird names.

Salty rant is over with. But yes, Kindred is a name for the spirits and what they represent. Lamb is one spirit, Wolf is another. Lamb is female and represents life, while Wolf is male and represents death. It's Rito's take on Yin and Yang.
