Riot, I think you need to acknowledge the best ship in LoL
That is, of course, Gnar x Shyvana.
Shyvana is a half-dragon of questionable emotional stability. She falls to her anger and becomes a fire-breathing engine of destruction. As a result, she seems broody and closed-off from the world.
Gnar is someone she can relate to. A tiny Yordle with a similar situation to her own. His anger gets the better of him, and he becomes a rampaging beast. But, he clearly doesn't let this get him down. When not transformed, he's a happy-go-lucky Yordle. From his example, Shyvana might be inspired to live happier, despite her nature.
And then she can go on awesome Dragony adventures with her plushy, adorable Yordle.
