Annie's Lore fails to fit Annie.

So, from what I gather, Annie lives in an outcast society of dark magicians in the woods, according to her current lore. The problem is that her base skin, her demeanor, and her character don't fit that mold at all. She's got a preppy schoolgirl's outfit on, with a backpack and a headband with cat ears, she skips around instead of walking, and her innocence seems disingenuine considering the reality in which she lives.

I feel like Riot has clung onto this pedophilic, lolicon character that just feels out of place in this game. The logic behind her design balances itself between, "Well, this character has always been this way," and, "OMG, Annie is so kawaii." It lacks narrative and depth. Given how they have changed even Lux, who was pretty much a prissy, spoiled cheerleader in the old lore, into a symbol of repressed talent and internal conflict, they could do so much better with Annie.

Annie is an old champion with outdated looks and lore, so it makes sense that her design doesn't exactly match up.

Right, but like many an old champion, they retconned the old lore and reconstructed a new one. Ryze has had it done, Lux, J4, etc. I'm just pointing out that it's time.

I agree that her design doesn't fit her lore,but tbh,her lore doesn't fit the whole game anyway.

I mean the "voodoo lands" are a place that is likely going to be either completely retconned or that will get completely redone from scratch.

And given that Annie got a visual update already(and it isn't that outdated),I'd say it is more likely that they'll be changing her lore to fit her model instead of changing her model to fit her lore.

Given that, could she be that creepy orphan girl that just so happens to leave a trail of burned down houses? Potentially Zaunite?
