Shyvana A half-breed born from the union between dragon and human, Shyvana searched all her life for belonging. Persecution forged her into a brutal warrior, and those who dare stand against Shyvana face the fiery beast lurking just beneath her skin.

Dragonkind considered Shyvana's impure blood an abomination, and she spent her youth pursued relentlessly by one cruel drake. Constantly on the run, she and her father, an outcast dragon, never knew a lasting home. A brutal reflection of countless battles, Shyvana grew hateful and savage. After years of strife, her father finally fell to the other dragon, but not before gravely wounding his foe. Furious with grief, Shyvana pursued her father's murderer as he fled north to recover. There she encountered a group of humans on the trail of the same drake. Though the men looked upon her in fear, their leader approached Shyvana peacefully. He introduced himself as Jarvan IV, the Prince of Demacia, and offered to aid Shyvana in her quest for vengeance. Together they hunted down and confronted the vicious dragon that had slain her father. Shyvana did not expect the men to survive, but in the clash of fire and steel, Jarvan and his men fought with strength she had never believed humans to possess. The ironclad warriors drove their foe into submission, and Shyvana struck the final blow, tearing the beast's heart from its body. Inspired by her ferocity, Jarvan offered her a place in the ranks of his elite guard. Shyvana could still see fear in the eyes of his men, but she longed for a true home. Trusting Jarvan's word, she accepted his offer and now serves as a Demacian warrior. Though her human allies admire her power, they keep their distance. Shyvana strives to repay the prince's kindness with the power of the dragon within, but she cannot help but wonder if the humans are right to fear her.

this story is just super nice and makes me wanna play Shyvana now what is your favorite story for a champs lore

Shyvana's daddy tried to solo dragon before 6 and failed, so that's his fault.

In all seriousness though, I find her lore to be interesting, not because she is, sadly, but for the relation between dragons and humans. Shyvana has great potential, but her story is essentially the same revenge plot plenty of other champions share, only hers is resolved in a few paragraphs. We have no understanding of who she is as an individual, no inkling of personality, even in-game she be summarized with one word: angry. Shyvana could use an update all around, visually and narratively, because as of now she is just "angry lady that turns into a dragon when even more angry."

I am not saying she has no right to be angry, her mother is missing and her father is dead with no end in sight to the persecution from both humanity and dragonkind, but she needs more personality than a plank on fire.

I like talon's lore. He was a street thief that knew how to use knives, Noxus sent some assassins to murder him and he killed them all.
