Is Kalista Senna?

In the "Tales of the Black Mist: The Harrowing" video, the video shows a a couple and the woman getting taken away from the husband. Sounds pretty familiar to Lucian's lore to me. Also, in the video, the narrator says "There's no coming back once you're claimed by the harrowing" and "You're cursed, condemned, to haunt the black mist forever more". There's multiple things you can take out of this. I think that Senna was "claimed by the harrowing" and was "cursed to haunt the black mists forever more" in Kalista's body. I also italicized condemned because it's the name of Vayne(The Night Hunter)'s "e" ability. I don't know if I could be right but if anyone has any more information comment please. I forgot to add that in Kalista's abilitiy preview, under the gameplay section, you can see Kalista, Thresh, and Lucian together on the twisted treeline.

"Treacherously murdered," That's not Senna. It's Kalista....someone completely new....

I doubt it. First off we got to see Seena from Lucian's intro back when he was released. She does't like like Kalista at all. I mean I guess you could say "Well maybe the Shadow Isles changed her look woooooooooooo~ but then exactly how did she get out of Thresh's Lantern? Why does she now make deals to capture souls? Why did she go from Gun Wielding to chucking spears around etc.

Actually it very well could be Senna. If you check Lucian's lore, several things make sense. It says that Lucian has BOTH of the relic weapons they used to use in combat together, which would explain why she is using a new weapon. Also it says that Thresh tricked Senna and then captured her soul, which could fit the part where Kalista was "treacherously murdered", it is a tiny bit of word manipulation I will admit but this is all in theory. Her appearance was "twisted by the horrific power of the Shadow Isles" which may explain why she would look different. And finally I don't think that we have been told to what extent Thresh can use his captured souls. If he can do more than just capture them, then it stands to reason that he saw the potential in Senna once he captured her and decided to make her a minion of his, which is why she gathers souls. Oh and also, Thresh would know that it would torture, distract, and piss off Lucian if his wife was reanimated as one of the very things he has set out to eliminate.

Personally this seems to connect fairly easily to what we have on lore but if you disagree on a point please feel free to point out any flaws in it.

Senna is entrapped inside Thresh's lantern alongside the other damned souls he's captured. Unless they decide to expand on with what he does with those souls, it's unlikely Kalista has a Senna connection.

The Shadow Isles champions tend to keep to their own domain as far as governing the dead is concerned, by all looks of it.

Check Kalista's lore on the PBE.

They are unrelated. Senna is still being tortured by Thresh and his buddies.

I'm just imagining the heartwrenching interactions if it's true, since Lucian is all cold and distant now or something

Like Lucian does like one less damage to her, like how commando skins reduce leona's damage because he's having second thoughts

Lucian "I'll purge them all...even you, if I have to."

No. If anything, Kalista is more likely to be related to Nidale.

Exhibit A: Weapon of choice. Exhibit B: Animal-like hop with passive Exhibit C: The longer spear toss attack Exhibit D: The hunter like nature of the Sentinels feel more comparable to Nidale's way of seeing foes (traps) than Lucian's (starburst).

Lucian shows up in the videos because his job is to kill evil beings like Thresh and Kalista. If you want an alternative lore idea, Lucian might sell his sole to bring down Thresh.

I think that thresh let Senna out to "haunt the black mists forever", but I don't know why she would switch from gun weilding to spears. Maybe the shadow isles are on a cheap budget? Also, I think maybe Senna's appearance was altered kind of like the woman was in the video but on a much larger scale.

Don't think too hard about it, next year her lore will say she's TARIC REAJU WAIFU from Planet Diamond.

The thought crossed my mind, but in the end, she has no interactions with Lucian, and also Senna is still locked away in Thresh's lantern as a prize.

TL;DR: Kalista made a soul pact with Senna.

Kalista makes soul pacts and seems to have these souls inside her. Kalista also seems to have a bit of a personality or identity disorder in that she can't remember who she is fully and also refers to herself in the plural. I believe Senna was treacherously murdered(maybe by Thresh) and made a pact with Kalista and her soul is now with Kalista and maybe even partially with Thresh's lantern somehow.

If this is true that Senna made a soul pact with Kalista, then Senna is most likely a support character?

She's not Senna.

Now can we please move on? This question's been asked about a MILLION times by now.

A Rioter confirmed that Kalista is not Senna in some Q and A
