The "Colorful Mage Champion" might be a Vastaya from the Strig Tribe.

According to the teaser, the champion will be able to shapeshift into different champions. The teaser shows as well that the shapeshift may be often incomplete and can show what we can assume to be the champion's real appearance, this is especially visible with Ahri, as one of her tail is a reptile's. Other champions with shapeshift flaws have very floaty parts reminding of butterfly wings.

Now, looking at the Vastayan Tribes Tree, one of the tribe on top left have the definition of what is described above, "Reptilians Butterflies".

So my guess is that the "Colorful Mage Champion" is from the Strig Vastayan Tribe.

EDIT: ~~Looks pretty much confirmed judging from her appearance.~~

EDIT2: Nvm she's from a new tribe called the Oovi-Kat

YES! YES! YES! PLEASE. Also hopefully it's not just a pretty woman with a tail and wings... please... let it not be a pretty woman with a tail and wings...

... It's going to be a pretty woman with a tail and wings... isn't it? Eh. I'm prepared to be solcrushed. (badum tss)

Yeah... I, too, am eyeing that "shapeshifter" flower out to the side.

But perhaps it isn't connected to the tree for a reason. Maybe every tribe has a certain % of shapeshifters?

are they going to release the new champ on pre season or on season 9?

Nah, pretty sure she is a plant mage and from Kumungu.

are shapeshifters their own tribe or race? they aren’t included on the tree but are placed next to it instead. if this is true then the champion can’t be from the strig tribe because it’s not actually from a vastayan tribe

Hey, anyone know the exact time the champ will be released?

15 RP say's it's going to be able to turn into other champs temporarily.

Because i keep seeing everyone talk about this champ being a shape shifter. they arn't. in the video its showing off darius, nunu and ahri and what bothers them the most emotionally. darius lost his wife nunu lost his mom and ahri believes she is a monster

the champ isnt shape shifting, they are showing the champions greatest emotional trauma

Does anyone know which Vastayan tribe Wukong is a part of? I know the other Vastayan champs, but not him.
