Poppy's Age/ Race

Noccturnal·3/5/2016, 6:47:33 PM·3 votes·6,349 views

I'm really confused about Poppy as she looks like a young adult however in her lore it states. "She accompanied him to the site of the new settlement–an ambitious new nation called Demacia, where all were welcome, regardless of station or background, so long as they contributed to the good of the whole." which proves she was there during the beginning of Demacia, Jarvan is the 4th king of Demacia, meaning Poppy has to be, roughly (assuming the former kings died at around 50, as that is more common for a king who fights in batter) 150 which is really old.

Also her race also concerns me, I know she was originally part of a race which was removed, but if so why did they add the line "I don't get yordles, to fluffy" to the updated Poppy? Was she supposed to be a different race, are male yordles and female yordles completely different races, or what because she looks similar to Tristana and Lulu which may mean female yordles aren't fluffy but males are, however I still don't understand why she would say "I don't get yordles, to fluffy" unless she wasn't a yordle.

I'm no hero, just a yordle with a hammer.

I don't know about her age, however, she's a yordle. The word "Fluffy" doesn't necessarily refer to hair, it encompasses anything that's soft or cute. So when she says, "I don't get yordles, too fluffy", it's to symbolize how she doesn't quite fit in with her own kind. A paragraph in her lore talks about this actually.

"Poppy was once a very different yordle. For as long as she could remember, she had been in search of a purpose. Feeling alienated by the chaotic whimsy of other yordles, she preferred to soak up stability and structure where she could find it. This drive brought her to the human settlements of western Valoran, where she gazed in wonder at the caravans striping the countryside in an endless file. Many of the people there looked tattered and weary, but they stumbled on in pursuit of some ephemeral better life that might lie just beyond the horizon."

Actually, she's almost certainly older than 150. Jarvan is only the 4th member of the royal family to bear the name "Jarvan." Orlon was the first king, and iirc there was a gap between Jarvan I and Jarvan II.

If she's 150, I'm 150 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Well Yordles age a lot differently than others I'd assume, she's probably older than 150 but in her teens compared to other Yordles maybe.

Yordles have exceptionally longer life spans than avarage humans, this is partially due to the innate magic within all yordles.

she is 100+ year old yordle, it seems like yordles dont actually age (donger looks kinda old as the only exception but i think it's because of his experiment on his brain.)

She actually has fur on her face,female yordles simply have shorter than the male ones.

The yore quote she has originally came from the fact that before her rework and a lot of lore changes she wasn't a yordle

They changed her to a yordle to make things easier on the lore team

Menling was never a thing, I will copy/paste an argument I had if I have to.
