The problem with Nunu's perception of Lissandra.

Alright, my beautiful boardmates, here I come with another lore problem I found during listening to new Nunu's voicelines. As we know, in ancient ages, there were three most influential people in the Freljord, one of them was known as Lissandra. As we know this name is ancient, and its original owner decided to disguise under other people identities (no information of her being known as Lissandra), in the meantime creating a myth of The Ice Witch. She is just the Ice Dervish of unknown name, a noble from the Frostguard. Then, again, Nunu knows for some reason that The Ice Dervish (aka Lissandra) is the Ice Witch. It seems understandable, mostly because he must have had many adventures with Willump, yet, there, again, is a quote, when he called Lissandra his boss. And this strongly implies that they still see her as a righteous ruler, not a tyrant.

summary and conclusion:

Why do Nunu calls the Ice Dervish by the name of Lissandra? Was she that dumb to keep that name through all those fake identities? And the other thing, what's his perception of her, if he knows that the Ice Dervish is The Ice Witch, then why he still finds her a righteous ruler (he even says they should go back to "their" village, even though they were nomads adopted by the Frostguard)?

^The image of The Ice Dervish (Lissandra's fake identity), she clearly seems different than the Lissandra we know from the splash art.

Because the name of the Ice Dervish IS Lissandra, that has been stated even before the relase of Lissandra herself in the old Journal of Justice.

The elders of her tribe determined the cause of death to be natural, which cleared the way for** the new Princess, Lissandra, to claim her throne and the title of Ice Dervish.**

Lissandra, the leader of the Frostguard, is a well-spoken and elegant woman who carries herself with the poise and presence of a Queen. She reminds me more of the nobility of Demacia than the barbarians of Freljord—maybe that's why Val doesn't like her.

She didnt keep the name with all those Identities, only the newest one is called like the "original" Lissandra(herself), previously she was impersonating Mauvole

Nunu doesn't know Lissandra aside from being the matron leader of the Frostguard tribe. The whole Ice Dervish business is currently no longer cannon because the Institute of War, Journals of Justice, and everything else was made defunct when the great lore overhaul removed them from the stories.

Lissandra's lore places her as an ancient Iceborn, who infiltrated the Frostguard when she needed to lay low and set her plans into motion. Over the years, she's masqueraded as the matrons of the clan, changing her name and having a "daughter" and conveniently dying to allow her "daughter" to take over every generation. She's only recently come full circle back to her true name, Lissandra, for at this point in time, no one remembers her from history. She still rules the clan as the matron, and for all intents and purposes, the clan just knows her as that. Only a rare few individuals, namely Trundle, know who she actually is, and the rest just assume she's their leader and nothing more. Nunu knows her as the leader of the clan, who took a particular liking to some of his music, and she in a way acts a mother figure to him, so that's how he sees her. He doesn't know that she's an evil Iceborn witch, because she operates as the Ice Witch behind the scenes, away from prying eyes.

Nunu doesn't know that the Ice witch is Lissandra..Also When she took over the Frostguard leader she gave birth to a girl and named her Lissandra. And after some time she took her body. So her current human disguise is called Lissandra.
