Janna, Malphite and Mt. Targon

As we all know, The Great Retcon left everyones favorite rock monster Malphite in a wierd spot, since he's from another world and wouldn't even be in Valoran if it wasn't for summoners.

Janna is also in a bit of a wierd spot right now. Her "league celebrity" status is gone with the League itself, and her role as a "protector of the weak" from Zaun is now being filled better by Zac. Other than that, I personally think her lore really doesn't have much going for it, and I've always felt she's meant to be something "more". Instead of an orphan from Zaun with a talent for wind magic, I've always seen her as this "avatar of air" type of character; An eternal being above being simply human (which is further supported by her elf-like appearance).

A while ago, Ironstylus spoke about Mt. Targon possibly being this place that connects the earth and the sky. What would people think about making Malphite and Janna the sort of "embodiments" of the Sky and the Earth, respectively reciding at the top and bottom of the mountain as sort of their "realms"?

It could work for Malphite, but it would be harder for Janna without a shift in her personality. Her entire character speaks of ease and gentleness, among other things. On the other hand, everything we've seen from Targon indicates its a pretty violent place.

Overall I think janna being from Zaun could actually stay,I mean the big difference between her and Zac is that Janna is from zaun,but doesn't live in Zaun.

However I think it would be cool to connect Janna Malphite and also Brand cause they are all elementals in some way(ok janna was born as a human,but she is accompanied by an elemental),the only thing missing would be a water elemental(anivia might count as she is made of ice,but she seems to be only connected to the freljord)
