My hopes for Lissandra's future lore

This will be a thread where I just want to share about what I'd love to see in Lissandra's future stories. Love her and I think that I have a good grip on what should maybe, if possible, be shown to us as fans :) https://i.imgur.com/v8gYSSW.jpg[]

#####~~Future wishes~~ 1. First off it would be great if knew what happened when she encountered Volibear and the circumstances of that event. 2. This will probably not interest many but personally I would also love to know about Lissandras parents. Especially her mother, I can imagine that she was probably an Iceborn but was she also a witch? And how come only Lissandra inherited the witch part? We pretty much know only she was a witch from Ornn.

He studied the Third Sister’s eyes. He did not trust her, for she had a scent of magic about her, and magic always makes sturdy things weaker.

3. Again maybe an odd one, but how does Ralakka Split- Tongue rank in her order and what is her relationship with him? 4. How did she establish the Frostguard and the timeline (after or before Watchers sealing etc.) 5. Her shapeshifting is fascinating and sadly we know so little about it, I would assume that she still kills her successor and shapeshifts into them. Hopefully in the future we will find out more about it. 6. What does Lissandra look like in her shapeshifted form currently? It is funny because if we were to see a comic about her we probably wouldn't be able to identify her since we do not know her current form. 7. Hope that in the future we gain some insight into the Talisman of Lissandra, in order to see if Liss can bless or infuse objects with power, since Halla made ice while holding the talisman to repair the pillars.(I get that the creating of ice could just be Halla's own power) 8. MOST OF ALL Would be great if we could see her casting a curse or killing mages and people, some **REAL **Lissandra action.

She does not have a color story or even a short story yet so we need to be patient but we will endure! There is so many great things and so many mysteries that surround my dear Liss, can't wait to hear more but for now these only remain as hopes...

Oh, yes.

I'd like them to redo her current bio to make her less of a wretched, cowering betrayer, and more of the plotting, assertive manipulator she has always been. I mean, yes, betrayal was a big part of her past in her old lore, but the emphasis on it in her new lore, along with the new betrayal of the Watchers added in, served only to make her a paranoid, unlikable character.

Old Lissandra was a hallmark villain. She was evil, we knew it, she had secrets, even from us, the players. She was in control, she had her plans in motion, and every vague thing she did we didn't know if it was a whim or part of those plans - that enigma and mystery around her activities is what made her fascinating. Her betrayal of her sisters was only so that she could take absolute power to keep her plans in motion, and it worked.

New Lissandra? Not so much. They want us to feel pity for her. Her motives are questionable, and we've been given too much information to the point where we don't actually know if Lissandra has plans or not, or if she's making it up on the go. Killing the incarnations of her sisters is weird and doesn't make sense, especially since Lissandra is supposed to be so deeply hidden that no one actually knows of her true nature. Her plans up until the Watchers break free from her prisons is to hoard true ice and form an army? The Watchers make her have night terrors. Her characterization took a huge nose dive, and she went from a classic, fascinating manipulative villain to some conspirator hoarding weapons in a concrete bunker for the apocalypse. This isn't the Lissandra I feel in love with. It's not even remotely close to who she used to be. They even claimed more information would come up when they released that lore that would shed light on things, but all we've gotten are Ashe comics that don't even touch on Lissandra, and the little we do have on Lissandra is that she has a cult, and she's taken a weird maternal liking to Nunu.

For the last part I'd love to see a dark story with Lissandra making ice zombies based off of that new passive Meddler gave her

Imagine Lissandra going in to kill a group of spirit-walkers (like Udyr) that resisted from being hunt down by her inquisition (aka Draklorns) so she has to do it herself. Imagine her freezing, shattering, and impaling them, and other ice magic shit. It would be amazing

Honestly anything from her perspective. Her bio is bare bones and The Eye in the Abyss isn't about her. I get why the writers did this as Lissandra in lore is a figure that most of the Freljord and even the Frostguard doesn't truly understand.... bar Nunu...

I'd love to see a story from her point of view. How she thinks nowadays, her feelings if she killed someone. Lissandra stared into the eyes of the Watchers and has their voices whispering in her head for millennia, and throughout it all she still retains some degree of sanity. She's such an interesting character I would love to learn more about.

And above all - what is her reaction to the wards failing.

I think her reveal trailer actually briefly shows what she currently looks like in her disguised form: https://youtu.be/Ub2aDubmG64?t=47

While that specific iteration of her lore may not be canon anymore, I don't see why the design can't.
