Annie

Annie’s childlike appearance is accurate, and that mismatch makes the rest of her harder to square. Nothing in her manner hints at what she can do until it’s far too late to matter.

• A mage whose pyromantic power far exceeds what her age would suggest
• An anomaly even among the mountain folk near Noxus, where she was raised
• A young girl whose emotional outbursts came out as fire before she had any control over them
• The owner of Tibbers, a teddy bear she can summon as a flaming guardian
• A drifter who never fully outgrew the unshakable innocence of childhood

She still calls her fire “playful tricks,” and to a degree that’s fair. Disintegrate launches a mana-infused fireball that gives back its cost if it kills the target. Incinerate throws a cone of flame over anyone bunched up too tightly. Pyromania doesn’t demand any elaborate setup; it simply rewards her for chaining spells together, charging her next spell so it stuns whatever it strikes. Molten Shield grants her or an ally a quick burst of speed along with a shield that scorches anyone who keeps attacking it. Summon: Tibbers transforms her beloved toy into the most dangerous presence on the battlefield, a bear that fights independently and sets fire to anything that stays close to him. Roaming the dark forests near Noxus looking for someone to play with, she carries a menace that has nothing to do with her age, and that’s precisely why it so often catches people unprepared. Anyone who expects a conventional mage soon realizes that Annie’s real danger isn’t the amount of power she holds, but how offhandedly and how fast she draws on it.
