LeBlanc Lore
So, I have loved to play LeBlanc for a long time. She was my second champion to play as, and soon became my very first main. I have always loved the mystery behind her and the Black Rose, but after seeing all these new lore updates with champions and reworks, I look back at her lore and I am sort of disappointed. While many champions have lore that directly surrounds them, LeBlanc's lore focuses rather on the secret organization she leads and not LeBlanc herself. While we know 'LeBlanc' is the title passed down to those who are deemed worthy of leading the Black Rose, I find it lackluster that LeBlanc, or perhaps better known as Emilia or Evaine for those who have been here a while or did digging on her, doesn't have much of a background on herself, the individual.
I see two options for a LeBlanc lore update:
We evaluate the true motives of the LeBlanc. Since LeBlanc is a title/mantle/spirit, it would be very interesting to get a background on it. When the title is passed down to whoever is worthy, when they take the mantle they take on the physical appearance of the first LeBlanc. How old is this manifestation? Is it a spirit? How was she able to trap her essence in a mantle and manage to keep it in cycle with the organization? How long has she been present in Runeterra? Is she one of the omniscient/omnipotent beings such as the Watchers or Aurelion Sol on a different scale? WHO IS LEBLANC???
Another road we could take is a background on the current individual, Emilia/Evaine. When did she join the Black Rose? What made her worthy of the mantle and title? Did she have any direct connection to some of our more prominent Noxians before taking the title?
So much to think about. I do believe we could have an INCREDIBLE story with LeBlanc, but as of now, for a champion with such a mysterious and alluring but also lacking background, she is of little interest other than her gameplay.

in a sense), why not any 'evil?'
