Cecilia

Lore:

Though there are worlds beyond Runeterra that some know of and others don't, only a few of them are directly connected to even consider them an extension of it. One particular realm is known to house among the most enigmatic beings; those beings, of course, being Yordles. Most of their culture remains largely unaccounted for, but for what Runeterrans know of them is that they look like smaller humans, either furry or blue, and in some cases even purple. Not that it matters for them, or at least those that wish to stay in Bandle City. One such particular individual goes by the name of Cecilia. A jolly farmer who wishes nothing more than to tend to her garden, Cecilia spent most of her life in Bandle City, doing nothing more than farming vegetables in her so-called Candle Garden, named after the population of fireflies inhabiting it. Most of her days went by peacefully, reaping the harvest with her long sickle, affectionately named Candle Branch, amidst a field of fireflies that won't stop lighting up the area. Everything seemed like a happiness that would last forever. That is, until the Dark Beasts came out of nowhere. One day they just came, but after that day, they stayed for all of the days, stepping on the produce with their dirty feet and causing general havoc all the while, never showing what kind of purpose they came to accomplish. But frankly, Cecilia did not care for what or who they are, or what they want. The only thing she could think of is how these creatures, which are nothing more than pitch-black shadows walking on four, keep ruining not only her good days, but her garden as well. For a long time she tolerated, believing that if she gave in to their shenanigans, she will give in to anger, something that she would prefer to avoid. But Yordle or human, every creature has his breaking point, and Cecilia is no exception. After a time that lasted who-knows-how-long, Cecilia wanted nothing more than to reap vegetables, but on one bright day, she found herself reaping shadows. With the Candle Branch in hand, there she moved swiftly across the Candle Garden, Reaping beast after beast. For the first time ever, she saw them fleeing in fear. Cecilia wanted to believe that this would be the end of the pests, but then she realized that if they run away, they will come back stronger. The solution: chase them and pluck the root. And that’s exactly what she did. She followed them all the way to a portal that lead her straight to Runeterra, the one place in existence she hoped never to come across. Alas, these are desperate times, and now she finds herself in the thick of some forest she never knew even existed. Slightly agitated while trying to keep her cool, now all that Cecilia wants is to find these Dark Beasts and take care of them so that she can go back to tending her vegetable peacefully. Although she's not quite sure she'll find that peace again. But right now, all that matters is to pluck the root of the problem. Because if you want to solve a problem properly, you can't just reap the fruit… you have to pluck the root.

Appearance:

Cecilia is a female Yordle gardener colored light pink. She is accompanied by a group of fireflies. Her signature scythe, the Candle Branch, looks like a scythe that is made from plants, with a flower blooming at the base of the blade and fireflies hovering around it.
