Lulu's new bio is a hot mess.
The writing is disjointed, it doesn't flow, and it tends to over explain and present points, revisit them awkwardly paragraphs later, and overall is not pleasing to read. It reads like it was written by a child in a creative writing class, and lacks any kind of professional polish that makes it cohesive. And before you even say it, no, having Lulu's whole life being about whimsy and chaos is NOT an excuse for her bio to be so poorly written and edited. Let's hit some examples.
- "Lulu was always a caring and deeply empathetic yordle, who lived as much in her whimsical daydreams as in reality. One day, while wandering the material realm, she came upon what appeared to be a bird with a broken wing. She ran to help, at which point the bird turned into a tiny, mischievous fae spirit."
The story opens like this. It opens with redundant information that didn't need explaining, because her personality is literally touched on nowhere else in her bio, outside of her penchant for whimsy. The bio doesn't establish any kind of personality transition to make this information relevant, nor does it question her current behavior against this established one. It's basically the most amateurish way to explain her actions in the following sentence.
- "Down and down and down they went. Lulu tumbled and scrambled around twisted roots and glowing mushrooms, and at some point they crossed over into the spirit realm without her realizing it. Their surroundings became progressively stranger and more disorienting; up became down, forward became backward, big became small. Finally, after what seemed forever, Lulu caught up with the faerie, whose name, she discovered, was Pix. With a click of his tiny fingers, Pix turned her humble walking stick into a spiraling staff, and tossed it back to her. It sprouted leaves and flowers, making Lulu gasp in delight. So began their forever-friendship, built of mischief, fun, and love of nature. Pix had led her to the Glade."
This bolded sentence is incredibly redundant, and breaks the flow of this set of paragraphs very badly. It also disturbs the build up to the reveal of where she is, and completely reduces the impact of the "the Glade" being this mystical, strange place of weirdness and whimsy. Like no kidding, we know Dorothy's not in Kansas anymore. We didn't need this explained to us, the build up of explaining how the world was warping around her was doing well enough in portraying to us that Lulu had stumbled into some magical realm. It'd be like if the movie of the Wizard of Oz had a narrator explain to us that the tornado had taken Dorothy to a magical world called Oz just before showing us her bizarre discovery of the new world around her crashed house.
- "When finally she remembered, it was like waking from a dream. She found herself back in the material realm, not knowing if a single day had passed, or a thousand years. To her surprise and joy, she found that some of her newfound power had come with her, allowing her to make small things large, change colors to those more pleasing to her, and cause creatures to fall spontaneously asleep. To Pix’s endless amusement, she turned the mightiest beasts into tiny, bewildered frogs or squirrels with a flick of her staff. Nevertheless, she began to miss the Glade. She decided to go back, but realized she didn’t remember the way. Pix was no help, claiming to have forgotten as well, though it was possible he just didn’t want to return quite yet. Unperturbed, Lulu set out anyway. She was certain the route back to the Glade was always shifting, making one way as good as another."
The constant reference to the "material realm" feels weak and browbeaten in this story. We really don't need to be told how Lulu is transitioning between realms, it's readily apparent when you explain how weird things became in the Glade. Also, why is it not really clarified one way or the other how much time had passed? It was somewhat relevant to Lulu's old story that the magical world of the fairies behaved against normal time, leaving her out of place when she returned and recognized no one. It also doesn't do well to place her in the world if it's a mystery how much time has passed, because we don't know her relationships to current characters and how old or new her friendships are. She's disjointed from a narrative perspective because this isn't an element of the story that should be shrouded in mystery, as it leaves her jarringly unconnected to the world. Also, how is she sure that the route to the Glade is always shifting? How would she know this? She only entered once, and goofed off in the magical realm, she didn't come and go. She fell down a hole in a cave near a waterfall, so why wouldn't she have assumed the entrance to be there? And again, not placing her along any timeline also doesn't help this part of her story either, because at least if millennia had passed, that could explain why she couldn't find the same entry.
Overall, the story is full of holes and isn't well plotted and doesn't place her in the world of Runeterra at all. It's incredibly vague, and it makes lame attempts to place her like "She did this in Demacia, she did that in Ionia," but it doesn't actually connect her to the world at large or any of the other Yordles, or even talk about her former home of Bandle City. I actually really hope that a kid DID write this story, like the 5th grader child of a Rioter or something, because this bio was just so poorly put together I'd have a hard time believing that someone was paid to write this.
