Blood Moon Skins, Originality, and Story Behind Them
So far, there have been many Blood Moon skins coming out for a mass majority of League Characters, whether be Ionians or Shadow Isles inhabitants. What gives? They're not at all relevant to each other right? Technically, no; and originally they shouldn't be having those skins - you'd think. The lore behind these skins is that, "Ionians from every province gathered beneath the flowered branches of the Great Tree in the Serene Gardens yesterday for the city-state’s annual Festival of Fire. An early summer tradition, this festival was a symbol of Ionian culture, celebrating the cleansing and rebirth of the spirit."
This means that Ionians gather and celebrate this event. People such as:
,
,
and other Ionians celebrate this event.
However,
does not have a Blood Moon skin; what gives? Maybe it's due to him not yet celebrating this event yet, or lack of participation.
Ionians can participate by acting out The Tale of Reina, a legend in which an ancient Ionian warrior is hunted by an evil spirit.
participated as Reina, while
participated as the haunting spirit.
So, why does
,
,
,
, ect. have these skins?
While Yasuo could be born Ionian, they kicked him out and banished him from Ionia. Meaning he is no longer of the current Ionia Religion and Lifestyle.
Kennen is a Yordle. So why these two?
Well
, being turned an enemy of Ionia, would represent the haunting spirit. Same with
,
,
, ect. While
,
are both represented as Reina.
TL;DR: All 'evil', and 'haunting' characters are depicted as the haunting spirit in the Ionian Festivities.
So, where's the Blood Moon
, Blood Moon
, Blood Moon
, Blood Moon
, Blood Moon
, and Blood Moon
?
, would be more understandable, hence he is Ionian, and not an enemy of them.
Same with
; because she, as well is Ionian.
,
,
, would be depicted as haunting spirits in their festivities.
, could just participate because
.
They would make more sense because they already wear masks. Right? Meaning they would fit perfectly for a Blood Moon festivity, being Reina or haunting spirit.
Maybe
and
, have not yet participated as members of the Blood Moon festivals despite being Ionian - or refuse to.
But, I think that Blood Moon
, Blood Moon
, Blood Moon
, Blood Moon
, Blood Moon
, and Blood Moon
could be an official thing. Hence that
,
,
,
are not Ionians; and some don't participate.
,
,
are definitely not participating in some festival the Ionians have, but yet they still 'participate' as the haunting spirits. Meaning that they have had some type of movement or innovation towards the Ionian culture, showing themselves off as haunting spirits.
So, Riot. Given your logic of those last 3/4, why not give at least
,
,
,
,
, and
some Blood Moon skins? I'm sure you can accomplish so. Some of these can actually be into lore since
is Ionian, or was. Same with the others, with the logic of
,
,
are just figment imaginations of the haunting spirit. Think about this, Riot.

Sona's Lore from the LoL universe pages, she was left at an Ionian adoption house... and as such she too might be eligible for a Blood Moon skin either as 'Ionian' or perhaps 'lost soul' if we interpret 'adoption' very loosely as being 'lost'.
This could make for a sweet skin using her instrument as a 'half moon' =D
