Senna Shouldn't be Listed as Demacian

I love Senna, but her character really has no reason to be listed under Demacian in the Universe site. I get it, she spent her time with Lucian there but Demacia is only barely a part of her story, while Lucian was born, grew up there and had sour opinions on their treatment of exiles.

If anything, Senna should be listed solely under Shadow Isles, she has some ties to the Ruined King, the Blessed Isles aesthetic and the Black Mist as a whole. Along with that, Demacia DOESNT NEED ANYMORE CHAMPIONS RIGHT NOW, while Shadow Isles just LOST one (Mordekaiser was moved to Noxus due to his history with them).

I can confirm, neither Senna nor the Sentinels of Light are Demacian.

Senna is from an island near-but-not Demacia. The Sentinels were formed on the Blessed Isles, and exist as individuals, handing down the tradition and relic weapons across the world.

I'm sorry whoever created her page on Universe re-shipped old canon. I'll see if I can get it fixed.

That is like saying that Kayn shouldnt be listed as Ionian because he was born in Noxus.

I wish League would give champions with Afro-centric looks their own region. Demacia is clearly Western Europe inspired, while Noxus is Eastern Europe inspired. Ionia is Asian inspired, predominantly East Asia, as Karma is the only South Asian looking character, while the rest are all East Asian looking, though some are mysteriously masked (Zed, Jhin, Shen, Yi, Lee Sin), but their outfits scream Asian. Even Xin Zhao and Sona, who are Demacians who look more Asian, have origins to Ionia. Shurima got those champions who look more Egyptian and Middle Eastern. Qiyana also introduced Ixtal as potentially a land of those who have a more Amerindian looking. Freljord is exclusively Scandinavian inspired. Mt. Targon is Classical Greece inspired. Piltover, Zaun, and Bilgewater also have a more fictional Western society inspired atmosphere, with Illaoi being the only Polynesian looking character. Bandle city is reserved for yordles, the Void is reserved for extraterrestrial creatures, and Shadow Isles is reserved for ghost looking creatures. All we need is a new land for African looking champions. __

while I agree with you one region having more champions than another doesn't really mean it's being explored more or better.

Not only that but champs don't have to be born in a place to belong to that region. It's about allegiances. The Order of the Sentinels is the Order Senna belongs to and they're Demacian so she is too

She was born and raised a damacian untill thresh trapped her. matter of fact IIRC she was on a mission FOR demacia at the time of her capture by thresh. why not have her listed as what she is? She isnt a shadow isles champ, all shadow isle champions were born under the ruination or willingly went to the isles to be "reborn" there like karthus, this is why eve wasnt classified as such when she got reworked.

Kaisa is not even part of Shurima portal despite her being Shuriman yet they make Senna who is not even Demacian part of Demacia portal.

The first part is a great argument, and I agree.

But what the heck is this "Demacia has too many champs" stuff? There's no particular reason that the number of champs between factions should be balanced?
