Theory on Annie (Based on New Noxus Predictions!)
So with Swain's new reveal, along with some strange new summoner icons, I began to think of something.
Now if you don't remember, Swain actually had some of his Chinese voicelines leaked a while back (which are seemingly confirmed at this point, Reav3 noted on his passive and, as seen in his teaser, he's got a demon arm, just as the leak predicted).
Now at first, I didn't think much on the Annie icons (if they even are Annie, which I am 99.9% sure they are) as I just thought "oh probably another event for a different Server," but that doesn't seem to be the case. On the boards, some users were discussing these new icons and what they could mean, where a Rioter actually replied by showing how Annie's bio in Universe has actually been updated to match her in-client bio, even noting that they updated it 'just now' with a winky face at the end.
Now with this, it confirms that this isn't just 'some event' but that something is cooking up for Annie (and no, it's not another skin this time). My guess is she's getting a small lore update, maybe even a VO update, as Riot mentioned they actually have one in the making. Question is; why Annie? And what'll it be like?
Firstly, and most of you may not know, but Annie is actually a Noxian! Or at the very least, born Noxian, a key theme they seem to keep with her story is that she's abandoned/banished or something to the outskirts of Noxus due to her destructive capabilities, so maybe she's just getting a larger lore-rework right next to the rest of her Noxian buddies!
Now, let's backtrack to the Swain leak so hear me out. In the leak, it mentions a few interactions with certain Champions. One of these, the strangest one in my opinion, was Swain's taunt towards Aurelion Sol, where he says something along the lines of "What's this about...siblings? (could also mean 'brethren' or 'kin' due to the translation). This seems like a strange thing to say to Aurelion Sol, along with the fact that he actually says this to BEATRICE, not Aurelion himself. Now in the leak, Beatrice was also confirmed to be a Demon of sorts that had made a deal with Swain, a pretty neat retcon!
But when I saw those new Annie icons, it hit me. Now the leak was honestly a little messy, some translations were wrong and even some voicelines weren't that clear, but what if that taunt wasn't towards AURELION, but rather towards ANNIE. It goes alphabetically, and considering Annie is basically right next to Aurelion on the Champion List (alphabetically), it could be possible that the leaker mistook it for a taunt to Aurelion. Now you may be thinking, "but that's crazy! How could that possibly apply to Annie instead?" Well one element ties them together; TIBBERS. Tibbers has been described as a fiery hellbeast, Annie's disturbed pokemon and, you betcha, a DEMON. If you apply that voiceline on Beatrice's 'Kin/Siblings/Brethren' to Annie, he could very well be taunting TIBBERS, a demon that Annie was capable of capturing! So this means one thing, like most spirits/demi-gods/entities (as seen by Ornn and his 'Siblings'), Demons consider each other siblings as well, meaning BEATRICE AND TIBBERS ARE BROTHER AND SISTER. As far as we know, Tibbers's real name could be TIBBERIUS.
But you know, I could just be dead wrong and babbling like an old man in the end, who knows! **tl;dr: ** Annie might be getting a lore-rework to fit he better into the Noxian storyline like she was meant to. Tibbers and Beatrice are also siblings.
