Question about Kalista

Kalista/SkinsTrivia

> Prior to her announcement, a strange fog appeared on seven champion-description pages on the official League of Legends website; Cassiopeia, Hecarim, LeBlanc, Lissandra, Twisted Fate, Xerath, and Zed. These champions have all betrayed one or more people in their lives. Although Warwick had betrayed Soraka as per her new lore, his page did not seem to be decorated with the strange fog. It is highly implied that Soraka is too noble hearted to think of revenge against Warwick.

Okay, so Kalista is hunting these champs because they betrayed someone. But obviously if the betrayed person doesn't wish for revenge, she doesn't hunt the perpetrator.

My question is this: What happens in instances of forgiveness? Twisted Fate and Graves have made up, there was no betrayal, and they're friends again. Since Graves has forgiven TF, does Kalista stop hunting him? Or does forgiveness not matter to Kalista, and she continues despite it?

I'm fairly certain she's not actively hunting them, since that would require a pact to be made. I simply think that they were representatives of people she WOULD hunt down.

To answer the direct question, I highly doubt Kalista would stop her pursuit because someone had a change of heart. Someone gave up their soul to set her on that path. It would take an equal measure to put her off it.

I think an interesting question here stemming off this is what happens in the case of perceived betrayal?

What if someone misconstrued a situation and believed that they had been betrayed by a former friend when that person hadn't actually done anything to hurt them? Would Kalista be able to discern the difference between true betrayal and a misunderstanding and would she feel any kind of guilt if it ever came to light that she had slain an innocent under false pretences?

As a note, Soraka didn't seek revenge on WW because she is now able to leave the grove she used to be bound to, and now she can seek out the people who need healing instead of the other way around.

She buys them a drink or two.

I've actually thought about this before. I was curious as to whether or not Riot would change Kalista's special interaction with an enemy TF after the Bilgewater event. I'm not really sure what would happen, but it would be very interesting to see whether or not Riot does anything about that.

I guess in the eyes of Kalista Tf is still a betrayer TF still ran away when Graves got into trouble,even if graves forgave Tf that,it won't change what TF has done.

I originally went and looked at Kalista's trivia simply because TF's page says that he is hunted by Kalista. Cassiopeia's directly says "She is being hunted by Kalista because she betrayed Sivir while they were exploring Shurima." I believe all of the champs listed on her page have it listed on theirs as well that she is hunting them. So, either the wiki wording is off, or Kalista's lore is worded wrong and a soul is not directly needed.

Her page no longer lists Twisted Fate. (However, I don't remember if it did in the first place.)

So she might not hate him anymore.

The Wiki one does still.

Maybe Soraka is just to noble hearted to seek revenge?
