Dear Narrative Team...

Thank you so much for Janna's new bio and story. It's heartwarming to know that in a world of gloom of and doom there's a peaceful spirit who watches over the unfortunate. I think Zaun -- and Runeterra in general -- was in desperate need of a hopeful protector, and who better than Janna?

Incidentally, were you guys at all inspired by Miss Peregrine during the making of her new character? I see some similarities there, especially the fact that they can both turn into birds, but also their roles as watchful guardians.

And just as a crazy aside, I think it'd be super awesome if Janna could take on her bluebird form in game also, perhaps something to consider for an eventual VGU.

I loved the story. It was heartwarming and captures Jannas newly made bio in a very cute and well written story.

Janna is lovely and the idea of her transforming into a bird would be super nice in a future Update of her!

Thanks to the Narrative team, I love Janna even more :3

When I first started reading the story, I thought was gonna be mad that Janna was no longer a human who ascended to become a protector of knowledge, but this new version of her fits really well, I think. It's not the first instance I've seen of a "man-made-god/spirit" but I really like this take on Janna.

And her story was so heartwarming, and finally featured an lgbt character (I would prefer a champion but I'll take what I can get)

Edit: totally forgot about the character in progress day! But it's good that we're finally seeing more of this, I love to see diversity in League.

I hated Janna (because of her gameplay), but now she's one of my favorite characters because of this story. WP to the writer!

I wonder if her air elemental is gonna change to the blue bird?

Now all we need are Zac's parents back.

Yeah I loved this story too. Couldn't help but outwardly smile when I finished it.

The colortext honestly made me cry when she gave him a hug and talked to him.. I feel like sometimes a lot of us need that feeling of comfort, and to hear those words, and they did a really good job of portraying the emotions with that.

I actually think that if she did take a bluebird form, it'd be for a taunt or recall or something. I'd not want it to be part of her kit. Though, if she's followed by birds and has familiars like Zephyr, that would be neat.

I really love the caring motherly character trope (Toriel anyone?) and love what they did with Janna. Big kudos to the narrative team. Now if only I didn't suck at playing her.

Riot should really just make an anime about Runeterra already

I think Janna's updated bio was done extremely well. I always thought that it was weird and out of place for Janna to be from Zaun from her original lore. That champion never gave me the impression that she was Zaun based on appearance alone would stick out like sore thumb in Zaun. But her new bio totally makes much more sense for her look and why she would is in Zaun.
