Xayah’s team:

Xayah:

Still sarcastic but redeemed, Xayah is now focused on trying to find Rakan.

She’s not entirely sure what to say if when she finds him. She’ll probably call him an idiot and they’ll go out for dinner.

She’s a little softer with her team, but will deny it whenever someone brings it up.

Xayah tends to keep her distance from her Horner teammates. Too much baggage for now, you know?

Orianna:

The best student out of the group. She is the only reason they haven’t flunked out because of their SG work.

Can be a bit comically serious. Her and Seraphine have a fun dynamic.

Dances in her room.

Reads the Battle Academia Manga.

Senna:

Acts as Xayah's lieutenant with strategies. With that said: Hit it with everything we have is a viable strategy in her books.

Keeps in touch with her boyfriend, Lucian. He knows about the SG thing.

Has given a book report on Forbidden Flame. She got the best grade in the class and she has it framed as bragging rights.

Seraphine:

Has a crush on the punk rock girl in class. (Scratch.) They practice together sometimes.

The one who hates keeping her identity secret the most. Especially from her dad.

Brings a sense of levity for the group.

Also reads the Battle Academia Manga.

[league-of-starlight]

Bel’Veth in the SG universe, but instead of being a monster to fight, she’s just a member of the school staff who despises Kai’Sa for some unknown reason.

Ahri team headcanons.

Ahri:

Can be a little “Mean Girls” to Lux and the team, but it’s mostly out of a place of tough love. Mostly. It’s also kind of funny to mess with them.

Is more friendly with Sarah than the rest of her team, in account of their longer history.

Ahri has a habit of using her charm magic to get her way. She used it on Lux once to make her stay out of a fight.

Despite her attitude, there is a heart underneath, a heart hurt by the loss of her last team. She doesn’t want to lose anyone again, so she keeps most people at arms length.

Miss Sarah Fortune:

Superlative: Most likely to be a pirate captain. She agrees wholeheartedly. Star Pirate, fuck yeah.

Keeps a killcount score game with Ahri. It’s mainly for her amusement than anything else, but she loves when Ahri gets into it.

Like Lux and Jinx, has a bit of a rivalry with her leader. But they are close through shared experiences.

Ahri: Could you stop rushing in?

Sarah: And miss out on spending time with you? Nah.

Only Ahri gets to call her Sarah. To everyone else, it’s Miss Fortune.

Ezreal:

Ezreal is a free spirit type of guy. (His words, not mine.) Brought into Ahri’s new team by the First Star, he had to learn to work with others.

He misses the days of being a solo act, but he can’t deny the thrill of fighting alongside people like him. Even though Sarah pistol-whips him sometimes.

Has an eye on Lux, but every time he tries to make a move, it either blows up in his face, or the red haired girl threatens to blow up his face.

Despite his cocky demeanour, Ezreal does have a kinder side to him, most often seen with Soraka. They read the Spirit Blossom manga together.

Soraka:

One of the newer members of Ahri’s team and the most outwardly empathetic towards Lux and her team. She often acts as a mediator between some of her teammates… unpleasant attitudes, although can be a tad reserved when thing get too high strung.

Has a fond interest in stargazing, and can often be found looking up to the night sky. Sometimes. Ezreal joins her. She likes the company.

While Lulu sees the Starlight as a friend, Soraka sees it as a patron to be assisted. They’d probably have some fun conversations together.

There is one way to flare up her temper, and that is by putting your needs above others. There was a moment in her old life where she tore into someone for putting someone’s life at risk for their own skin.

Syndra:

Like Janna, Syndra is a veteran Guardian, but while Janna attempted to retire her duties after a devastating loss, Syndra went missing for several years. She now returns as an advisor for Ahri’s team.

Janna can’t help but feel uneasy around her. Her return feels too coincidental, and she seems different than Janna remembers.

“Stop talking to Lux.” “Why, I’m just giving her some motivation.”

Despite the air of mystery and uncertainty, Syndra’s drive to accomplish her ambitions are unquestionable. One can only hope those ambitions remain noble.

[league-of-starlight]

Lux’s team headcanons.

Lux:

Ray of sunshine covering a lonely core. Parents are a bit overprotective and focused on assuring her daughter’s future. Garen tries to give her some guidance, but she sometimes feels trapped in the expectations.

Bullied by the popular girls, because being a little clumsy and earnest equals bully fodder. Garen used to stick up for her, but she doesn’t want to be known as the girl who can’t fight for herself.

Admires how Jinx can just do things without worrying about what people think. That being says, she does butt heads with Jinx a couple times.

When it comes down to it, she’s a hero. And a leader unlike any other.

Jinx:

Vi’s younger sister, used to go by Powder before some things happened. Not Arcane level tragedy, the Vander-fam is still alive and functional (for now). But something happened.

Knew Lux as a kid, drifted away when Lux’s mother became a bit overprotective, met again in high school because Lux lives in a rom-com.

Agent of mischief. Has set off fireworks at school. Will do it again. Has an idea for an awesome graduation present, if she makes it that far.

Urges for Lux to do crazy stuff. It turned out that one of Lux’s ideas was to kiss her. Smooth moves, flashlight.

Despite her disregard for rules and butting heads with her teammates, Jinx can always be counted on to pull through with an explosive comeback. Literally.

Poppy:

Father moved around a lot, leaving her with little time to build lifelong bonds. She copes by focusing on schoolwork.

Doesn’t like thinking of herself as a hero. Just doing what has to be done. But, it does feel nice to see herself in the news, even from afar.

Has a secret appreciation for the Battle Academia series. Yes, it’s cliche schlock, but it’s fun, okay?!

Has a bunch of team attacks with Jinx. It almost makes her ignore the height jokes. Almost.

Lulu:

Can communicate to the First Star in her dreams, although she doesn’t quite know how. Was convinced it was just an imaginary friend until she became a guardian.

Major sweet tooth. Coffee is kept as far from her as possible.

Keeps beating everyone in video games. Poppy isn’t bitter about it, of course she isn’t.

Lulu and Jinx have conversations that nobody else can decipher. It scares them.

Despite her demeanour, she has a great sense of magical power. Acts as a healer and support member.

Janna:

Mom friend. Most common expression is a tired glare followed by sipping tea. Affectionately called “The Janna glare.”

Despite her outward calmness, she does have doubts brought upon from her old team’s fall. Her only hope is that these new recruits aren’t doomed to follow.

Good listener, especially with Lux’s doubts. Even Jinx has moments where she can’t he’ll but be moved.

Stands up for Lux whenever Ahri’s team step out of line. Has a history with Syndra, but keeps it to herself.

Logical part of brain: There are enough Star Guardian skins for now. Maybe they should focus on exploring the lore and characters already there rather than stuffing characters into a skin-line they may not fit.

Indulgent writer part of brain:

Corrupted SG Amumu as a consequence of falling to despair and loneliness.

Star nemesis Evelynn who was once a simple high school bully before being granted the chance to become even more.

Give us an “office dad Kassadin” as just this overworked father who doesn’t know that his daughter is a guardian. Bonus points if the splash art has Kai'Sa in her SG outfit peering outside while he's running out the door with a briefcase or something.

Imagine Akali activating her SG weapons to cut a cake perfectly.

Enemies/Star nemesis:

Zoe:

Likes referring to fights as games. Everyone’s a playmate or a toy. Usually the latter.

The reason why Lux became a statue was when she used a powerful technique to stop Zoe’s attack on the city. Since then, Zoe’s been recuperating strength, waiting for the day she can get some sweet payback.

Had a pet void-monster. Lux exploded it in the big battle.

Her plans are usually: “Fight the guardians, kill them, celebrate.” Xayah tries to say that they’re good, but she’s lying.

Deep down, beneath the childish cruelty and chaotic nature, there is a wounded soul. A soul that just wants to have her friends back.

Corrupted guardian Xayah and Rakan:

Both of them:

Their lovey-doveyness makes their enemies sick. It’s a perfect distraction.

“Aw, look. Junior guardians. Aren’t they just the cutest?” “Sure are, time to kill ‘em.”

Basically like Team Rocket, very haughty and smug to Lux’s team. It’s partly a front.

Just Rakan:

“Hey, foxy. Remember me, didn’t think so.”

Makes a list of villainous taunts and words. He’s a big fan of “quaint” and “star-losers.”

Despite his jokey approach to battle, Rakan is smarter than he comes off. He gets more aggressive towards Ahri.

Often tries taking hits for Xayah. She often tosses him out of the way and calls him an idiot. One day, he’ll get to pull it off.

Just Xayah:

“Hey, Ahri. Miss me? Yeah, didn’t think so.”

As a contrast to her lover, Xayah is far more cold and dispassionate.

She knows that something is up with Zoe, and is trying to work out a plan. She’s not going back to the Star-Loser’s, no way, but she and Rakan aren’t puppets for Zoe to play with.

Taunts Lux about how new she is to all of this. “You think this life is some fun adventure where you blast the bad guys. Let me tell you, it’s not.”

Despite her complaints, she likes how Rakan constantly jumps to protect her. It’s sweet, if a tad cheesy.

Star nemesis Morgana:

Currently spending time observing the new group, picking up on their weaknesses. The one with the ninja mask seems to have doubts. Doubts that can be used to control her.

The only thing she actually treats with care is her familiar. They share a love of destruction.

Ages ago in the past, she had a sister named Kayle who wished for cosmic order. As siblings are want to do, they fought. Morgana won. Sorry, sister.

Star nemesis Fiddlesticks:

Practically Runeterra Fiddlesticks but with extra glitter and a priority of ruining SG lives. It isn’t really loyal to Morgana, but they have a common cause.

The familiar is a weak point, but good luck hitting it.

Has a strange fondness for chess motifs. A holdover from Harp?

[league-of-starlight]

Out of curiosity, since I highly doubt that Riot will stop with SG skins, which characters would you give if you had creative control?
