here, have some general tidbits about ahri that i pondered while in my mini-coma :
she can be incredibly vain now that she’s been exposed to human culture in her recent years; she takes pride in her appearance, and she’ll go the extra mile to care for her skin, hair and tails.
that being said, most of her ‘possessions’ are things she loots off of corpses --- regardless of whether or not she made them that way. not like they’ll be needing it anymore.
although she’ll continue to tirelessly search for her parents, i find it extremely unlikely she’ll ever find them. i theorize them to be part of the original line of the mixture of human and pre-human races --- which would mean, much like the lhotlan tribe, the increasingly low access to magic would have severed their ties to this world long ago ( assuming, of course, something else hasn’t happened to them already ).
ahri is well aware of the steady drain on magical energy in runeterra, ionia in particular. she can feel it on a sensory level, and it will eventually begin to drain her own reserves; however, given her age and mastery level, it’ll take a significant amount of time before her power / stamina suffers as a result --- unless the rate at which magic energy is being depleted undergoes a sudden uptick.
through her artist(tm), she’s learned a few activities / habits that she still keeps up: painting (although not near as talented), meditating, how to handle chopsticks (she still sort of prefers her hands), some reading comprehension, navigating by the stars --- as well as some constellations and corresponding legends, and dancing.
on the subject of reading, her comprehension is still fairly low. although she speaks articulately, her reading level would roughly be about that of a fifth grader. it’s enough to get by in most ionian villages, but she still struggles at times; print in other languages is a complete lost cause. she would love to expand upon her knowledge of the written word, and does look for reading material among homesteads and markets when she can.
ahri has conflicting opinions about intimacy. she’s been intimate since her lover’s death, but it isn’t in the same vein --- it’s more of a means to an end, an itch she likes to scratch. she’s a sexual being, and enjoys it --- both exploiting it and indulging in it --- but there’s an emotional disconnect. she enjoys the attention for what it is, and perhaps in some ways uses it to indulge where she’s deprived herself in terms of feeding off human essence, but can’t find it in herself to become emotionally attached to anyone again just yet ( especially of the human variety ).
she does not, however, engage with her victims sexually before their death. she’s not a succubus; the victims she chooses these days are almost always out of self-preservation, a moral judgment call, or some other deep-seated dislike. she hasn’t slipped into impulse but perhaps three times since her lover’s death, and never on the same scale.
