Will Riven's character ever develop?

One of the reasons why I don't like Riven as a character is her personality. She sounds and acts like a fallen creature who can't find its way back. That's how she lived in this game and that's how she will probably live for the next years. But after looking at the playful arcade login screen, I thought that she could actually change from sounding defenseless and pitiful to joyful and heroic, or at least less whining. I mean, with the powers like hers, she can't always sound so helpless. Will there ever be point where she stops feeling sorry for what she has done and actually decides to move on? https://i.gyazo.com/a8d41d007599482ff6114f577b77d4e4.jpg

Well, that would require for something happy to happen in the lore, and I doubt that something like that will happen.

I mean, they turned Gangplank into a Warhammer 40k character, what chance does Riven have?

Riven in the Arcade Log-In looks like her as a child. She has a youthful quality to her face, as does Sona. Kids play games. The skins are full of alternate universes; Riven could be legitimately happy.

Having a cheerful side of Riven sounded always like something that would eventually happen.

From what we heard from Riot it might happen with the conrontation with Yasuo which is the only charatcer Riot has said to be interacting with her lorewise.

I'd really like to see that. This doesn't have to end up with them being in a sort-of-relationship as Lux and Ez but I won't oppose it since I really like the couple :P

first off, that artwork is awesome

second, where the heck did you get defenseless and pitiful from? i dont recall anything she does or says that gives me the feeling of defenseless or pitiful, not even remotely.

You haven't actually read her lore, have you?

Not until she gets an Elsa skin.
