Capitalize on Janna's new lore!

I don't know if the right people are going to see this, but I'm putting it out there.

Janna's recent lore update was one of the greatest shifts in backstory I can bring to mind. She went from an orphaned child from Zaun made famous for her windy talent to a benevolent wind spirit born from and empowered by belief.

Seeing as how the entire nature of her existence changed, I cautiously propose a visual update to be in order. Not only are most of her models and animations pretty outdated by today's standards, but now they seem ill fitting for a being of her nature. At least by my tastes, that is. I think with her new identity she could be made into something a lot more than a lady with impractical armor and weird flowing tails. Maybe do away with plate armor and deck her out in some majestic, flowing ensemble with a blue bird motif as a nod to her new origins.

I don't know if Riot would really want to siphon the resources into a new Janna on the whim of some dude on the forums, but hey, I gotta ask for a breath of fresh air for my main.

There's actually this really cool artist on Twitter named Tom Randby who was working on a VU concept for Janna based around the bluebird motif. Not sure what the status is of this particular piece but I really like the direction it's going so far, and sounds a lot like what you described in your post:

I agree it'd be awesome if Janna could get a VGU one day to reflect her new abilities/theme.

Also I think a title change might be in order to. She was never really furious to begin with, so I say swap "The Storm's Fury" to "The Windspeaker" because if Ivern can get a mastery named after him then Janna can too.

Honestly, i think she is fine as she is. She is the personification of a spirit after all.

What you would do to her? Remove her bra? :P Feathers feel too much like something "earthen" than a spirit of air.

What if she wore clothes made of blue feathers?

I will say Janna's animations are outdated but tbh her model seems fine
