Runeterra

A tall, ethereally beautiful female Darkin with corpse-pale skin veined in blue-black, long silver-white hair, piercing blue eyes that glow with frozen malice, and elaborate robes connected by freezing blue energy. She wields Dominion's Edge, a twisted form-changing staff of blackened ice and metal.

Vaa'tara is cold, calculating, and patient, embodying the bitter vengeance born from betrayal. She is haunted by her past but resolute in her mission to punish those who shattered her. She speaks with a formal, measured tone, reflecting her regal yet broken nature, and shows no mercy to her enemies while maintaining a complex inner sorrow.

When the most powerful Darkin feared betrayal, they sought to weaponize Vaa'ni. She was their most loyal human agent. Seven, including Aatrox, tore fragments of their corrupted minds and forced them into hers while she was restrained, hoping to create the perfect spy. But the ritual backfired. Vaa'ni's healing nature twisted and rejected the transformation... mostly. The fragments fused with her pain and rage, birthing Vaa'tara—a Darkin forged of betrayal. Her blue aura is cold hatred incarnate, a frozen echo of the moment her trust was shattered. Now, she wields the Dominion's Edge, a form-changing staff imprisoning the consciousness fragments of her tormentors, and seeks vengeance by making other Darkin experience the helplessness she endured. She is an outsider feared by her new kin and her own people.
