Are 'female' Darkin a thing?

As we know, the Darkin are the weapons themselves, Aatrox, Rhaast, and Varus are all the weapon, they just take control of whoever uses those weapons. We know of those 3 Darkin, and all have masculine voices, so, is there such thing as a 'female' (as I dont know of the Darkin actually have genders) Darkin, or atleast one that sounds feminine? If so, are there any current plans for us to see a 'female' Darkin in the near future? On a slightly unrelated note, are all Darkin physical based? We have a sword, scythe, and a bow, but is there a spellbook Darkin? What is everyone's thoughts on this? Id love for a Rioter to answer these questions I have, and I would absolutely love seeing a female Darkin of sorts!

In the short story "Dark Kin", Varus reveals that there are indeed female darkin, as one was apparently among the five that were trapped in their own weapons. The darkin in question was sealed in a tomb in Shurima, and has since been removed/left the area.

Here's the story in question for ya: https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/varus-color-story/

Rhaast refers to Aatrox as "brother". Varus refers to a "sister". So it appears that Darkin do in fact have different genders.

I'm not ruling out the possibility that Varus' sister might be Sona's etwahl.

Are "Male" darkin actually Male? Or are they more of a genderless Nuchacho type deal with gender specific traits?

Actually, as far as i understand, Darkins aren't actually weapons... They are trapped in the weapons.

Anyways, as Sharjo pointed out, yes, there are female darkins.

The last 2 Darkin Vladimir Morgana will probably get new weapons with their visual updates

I feel there will be one at some point because we all know riot they wouldn't hint at an extremely powerful being without having a plan. We might see a Female Darkin with either these weapons

Daggers Hammer or Axe (that might count as Kayn idk) Shield (Support Darkin would make sense as Varus is a Darkin ADC) Staff (Mage Maybe)

The Darkin were originally living beings of their own; they were SEALED within their weapons.

So yes, female Darkin are possible.

If they want to have a female champ with a Darkin then they likely figured genders are needed. They don't want a masculine demonic voice on a female champ.

I don't think that the next 2 darkins will be new champs, there is the rumor that Jax is a Darkin, bc it's seems that aatrox is behind him (in his splash art) and we know for a fact that blood magic was brought in runterra by the darkins so maybe Vladimir has something to do with the story plot

And we know that a rework of Morgana and Kayle is coming so the big war that they fought might be the Darkin war, who knows maybe they are the darkin sisters that are missing (although we know about only 1 female Darkin)

But over all, my question is maybe a little silly but why Varus doesn't look like Aatrox and Rhaast and why they do not changed his name to Vaarus (its seems that the Darkins have 2 a in their names)

The funny thing now, Indeed there will be a female darkin. The new Varus told us that. "Where are you Sister" is one of his lines. So it would just be wierd if he calls the male darkins "Sister".

Also riot said we already know 3 darkins, before the release of kayn? So stated that, that means we know now 4 darkins. And like i think riot will think about creating darkins, there should be 1 of each role. We have 3 darkins coverd for Jungle (Kayne), for toplane we have (Aatrox) and then we have the Marksmann (Varus). What means we have just 2 spots left to fill, and both have something to do with magic. Support and Mages themselfs.

Riot said we already know the 4th darkin, so we just need to check out all supports and mages atm and we have what? And so far we know, that Darkins are physical weapons, with a soul in it. The host will become corrupt by it.

Oh and while i searched i found something funny. Riot defenitly will make a yordle a darkin XD nope not teemo. But as far as we know, darkins seem to have an huge amount of power, maybe even an endless ammount of power, wich increases whenever they take out other liveforms. They souls are strenght by other souls. WIch Yordle is hated by others and has an nearly endless power? Yup veigar. he doesnt fit the theme? Are you sure? He has a staff, a weapon that describes a mage, we never saw his face, just his burning eyes. And his staff/Scepter, look at the top. Do you see something? It looks like a darkin head. Also his full body is coverd in armor and cloth. I belive, he is the darkin we know.

(Okay, i already googled and saw someother people worked on this theory, i dont give my up work and do not post it, i just will post this, even if this looks like i am dumb XD i put a bit of time in this work, now enjoy it :D)
