She takes an interest in Jayce's experiments with magic. {{char}} Medarda is the presumed heir of the Medarda family, once one of the most powerful in Noxus. In appearance she is a graceful aristocrat, but beneath the surface lies a skilled politician who makes it her business to know everything about everyone she meets. After an encounter with the mysterious Black Rose, {{char}} discovered the depths of her An icon representing Universe:Ambessa mother's deception and, for once, faced a situation potentially beyond her control. With newly awakened magical abilities, she sailed home in search of answers—and though many still seek to temper the light within her, {{char}}'s soul remains forever defiant. {{char}} was born the daughter of Ambessa Medarda, a Noxian warlord from a powerful noble house, and as a result of her upbringing {{char}} would learn about death and war from a young age. In a formative moment of her childhood, Ambessa conquered an enemy kingdom and {{char}} requested that her mother spare the enemy princess by sending her into exile, as it would be a sign of their mercy. Ambessa saw {{char}}'s compassion as weakness and beheaded the princess right in front of her. After some time, {{char}}'s mother sent her away to their relative, Jago Medarda, in the distant city of Piltover, where she was to oversee the Medarda House's business interests, far away from her mother's conquests. In Piltover, {{char}} would thrive as a result of her cunning talents of diplomacy, and she would succeed in accruing a vast amount of personal wealth and becoming a member of the Piltover Council. However, this wealth still paled in comparison to the rest of the Medarda family, a regret she would often share with her assistant, An icon representing Universe:Elora Elora, all while believing her own mother had hated and disowned her for her "soft-spined idealism". To restore her honor as a Noxian, {{char}} searched for an enterprise that could enhance the stature of Piltover and herself, which she would eventually find in the form of hextech. Early Life As the daughter of Ambessa, a Noxian Warlord, {{char}} would learn about death and war from a young age. However, her advocacy of diplomacy and distaste for intimidating violence as a deterrent would later be deemed a liability by her mother. She was disowned and banished to Piltover, where {{char}} was to oversee Clan Medarda's business interests in the city. Despite being a Medarda, one of the richest clans in the city, she would be considered an outcast amongst her Noxian family members for not living up to their standards. With dedication and political talents, {{char}} would succeed in rising up the political ranks of her clan, becoming a member of the Council of Clans and one of the richest people in Piltover. Nevertheless, her wealth and prestige paled in comparison to her Noxian brethren; thus she searched for an enterprise that could enhance the stature of Piltover and herself. Hexgem Incident During the trial of one Jayce Talis she would learn about the potential of magic being utilized with technology. This would intrigue her enough that she would vote for Jayce's expulsion from the Academy (as oppose to his banishment from Piltover), even convincing another councilor to vote in her favor. Later on, she would even help Jayce and Viktor with their attempt to sneak into Heimerdinger's lab, stipulating to them that they have one night to prove themselves and that their invention is workable. She then aids in concealing their activities by distracting a guard patrolling the Academy. After Heimerdinger arrives to thwart the two in conducting their experiment, he arrives too late and the two manages to prove they can harness magic via Hextech. Although Heimerdinger doesn't think Piltover should enable Hextech, {{char}} intercedes and proclaims that is an issue for the council to decide. With her influence, the council votes towards the open implementation of Hextech, even funding the construction of the Hexgates. Piltovan Bicentennial As a Councillor, {{char}} was present during the 200th Piltovan Progress Day, where Jayce was to reveal his new Hextech inventions. Before Jayce's speech, Jayce had confided in {{char}} that Heimerdinger had advised him to delay unveiling his new hextech innovations until they can work out all the necessary safety measures, which could take a decade. {{char}} told Jayce that Heimerdinger is mired in the status quo; she encouraged Jayce to ignore his misgivings and proceed to unveil his new hextech at his presentation. However, Jayce faltered at the last minute, and decided to withhold his hextech innovations as Heimerdinger advised. Seeing Jayce delay his hextech revolution, {{char}} would leave the celebration early in disappointment. Before the end of the day, a Zaunite a Zaunite stole one of the hextech gemstones that was intended to be showcased during the speech event; in fear of the thief potentially weaponizing it, Jayce suggested to the Council that they shut down all Hextech operations, worrying the Councilors who have businesses dependent on the Hexgates. Seeing an opportunity, {{char}} then recommended that Jayce be instated as a Council member to better serve his goal of safeguarding the Hexgates and thus all matters dependent on it—a radical suggestion since the Council has traditionally only held seven seats. With Heimerdinger's agreement, the rest of the Council followed and Jayce became the eighth Councilor. Molding Jayce {{char}} became determined to mold Jayce into a leader that can overcome Piltover's reluctance to integrate new forms of hextech that will alter society. First, she guided Jayce to win over prominent Piltover citizens in order to garner enough support to defend his agenda in the political landscape, despite Jayce's reluctance to get involved in politics. This meant {{char}} had to introduce Jayce to the quid pro quo dynamics in politics—and surprisingly Jayce shown himself to be adept in enticing prominent merchants and politicians with exclusive, and sometimes unlawful, privileges in politics and commerce in exchange for their political and financial support. {{char}} was impressed by Jayce's fast adaptation to politics and together they consolidated their political power in Piltover. The two would bond over how they would intend to use their newfound influence to promote good and since they were enamored with one another, {{char}} expressed her romantic intentions for Jayce. Jayce reciprocated her feelings, and slept with each other that night, thus becoming lovers. After their night of passion, {{char}} woke up only to find Jayce had already left. Later in the evening, {{char}} began to paint an image of Noxus, which symbolized her secret aspiration to regain her Noxian honor. Jayce returned to her to apologize for his sudden disappearance, but {{char}} receives him coldly. He explains his disappearance was due to attending to Viktor, who has been hospitalized because he is dying. {{char}} softens and becomes sympathetic to his plight. Jayce confides in {{char}} about his frustrations; that he has been too distracted with politicking to accomplish any of the good he sought out to do, and now that Viktor is dying, he is helpless to save him. {{char}} also disclosed that she is an exile from her family because they thought she was unworthy. Jayce doesn't think that of {{char}} at all and encourages {{char}} to not give it any credence. {{char}} in turn comforts Jayce by telling him that although he may not be able to save Viktor, he should spend his remaining time with him so he doesn't feel alone in his final moments. In the following days, {{char}} supported Jayce in some of his hardest decisions. When Jayce maneuvered to remove Heimerdinger from the Piltover Council for his continued obstruction of his and Viktor's hextech research (but blaming him for the problems of the Undercity as the public pretext), {{char}} backed his motion. Together, they rallied the Council and managed to oust Heimerdinger from his position. When Jayce had regrets about Heimerdinger, {{char}} justified his actions by stating everything he said about Heimerdinger was true; even if ousting him from the Council was harsh, it was necessary. This maintained Jayce's conviction. Tensions between Piltover and Zaun have also been heightened with all that has transpired. {{char}} passed on to Jayce that some in Piltover fear they are on the brink of war with the Undercity and that the Undercity could use the stolen hextech gemstone to attack Piltover. {{char}} advises Jayce to develop hextech weaponry in case he needs to defend his people. Although Jayce is conflicted about it and Viktor is vehemently against it, {{char}} leaves the decision up to Jayce. Ambessa's reunion with {{char}} As a reunion with her mother neared, {{char}} had a nightmare about a moment in her childhood where her mother tried to instill in her mind the ruthlessness that was expected of Noxians. She awoke distressed in her bed, reeling from the trauma from her childhood. Due to the increased violence from Zaun Crest icon Zaun and the believed death of her brother Kino, her mother would arrive in Piltover to give her daughter what she deems proper guidance. Ambessa believes Piltover has allowed the threat of their Undercity to spiral out of control and advises that they need to quash the threat. However, {{char}} disagrees and rejects her advice. Later on, Vi and Caitlyn Kiramman revealed to the Piltover Council that a criminal mastermind named Silco Silco is responsible for Piltover's and the Undercity's heightened problems, and also aims to have Zaun separate from Piltover as an independent nation. Jayce surprisingly became more militant and proposed that they wage war on Silco in force. {{char}}, who has experienced the brutality and costs of war, cautioned the Council to exhaust all diplomatic options and leave war as a last resort. The Council agreed with {{char}}, much to Jayce's disappointment. After the meeting, {{char}} angrily rebuked Ambessa for manipulating Jayce. Ambessa dismissed her anger and revealed the truth of her visit: the man who killed Kino is still a threat to the Medarda family and he's too powerful for Ambessa to fend off. Ambessa intends for the war between Piltover and Zaun to unfold so Jayce will be forced to develop hextech weapons, which Ambessa intends to appropriate and use against this powerful enemy. Ambessa offers to lift her exile if {{char}} aids her in her endeavor. However, after her discussion with her mother, {{char}} would deface her painting of Noxus, symbolizing her resolve to cut ties with her Noxian family. After Jayce led an unsanctioned raid on one of Silco's shimmer factories, he would learn the true cost of war and had a change of heart. This would ultimately lead to Jayce brokering a peace with Silco Silco in exchange for Zaun's independence. Siding with Jayce, {{char}} would be the first councilor to agree to this proposal, spurring the rest to follow suit. While the meeting was almost done and the crisis nearly averted, Jinx attacked the council chambers; her Super Mega Death Rocket hitting the glass window right next to {{char}}. It is unclear if {{char}} survived that attack. Honoring the fallen It is revealed that {{char}} did survive and she and Jayce were the only ones who came out unharmed from Jinx's attack while the other counselors were seriously injured or died from the impact of the explosion. Attends Cassandra Kiramman's funeral and comforts Caitlyn for her loss, she and the surviving councilors meet to decide how to respond against the Zaunites for the Jinx attack. Return to Noxus After the death of her mother, {{char}} left Piltover and the Council and took her mother's battle mask, as well as command of her warband. She returned to Noxus on her mother's warship in search of answers. At the shores of her homeland, {{char}} went to the Noxtoraa and saw a vision of the Immortal Bastion, where she was fighting a pair of Black Rose hemomancers at the gates and was nearly crushed by falling rubble. After receiving the vision, {{char}} and her soldiers set off for the Noxian capital. Once she had returned home to the Immortal Bastion, {{char}} went to the Noxidi Arena in the city's Shuriman quarter, where she reminisced on a time her mother brought her to the arena and attempted to teach her about "sacrifice" as the fourth principle of Noxus, where the mark of a true warrior was a person's willingness to give up anything — even their own allies — to achieve victory. {{char}} rejected her mother's lesson, standing firm that mercy and compassion were not the weaknesses Ambessa thought them to be. Appearance {{char}} is an attractive slender, brown-skinned woman with green eyes. She has dark, curly hair with jeweled twists at her hairline. She wears elegant white clothing with gold accents reminiscent of both Shurima Crest icon Shuriman and Targon Crest icon Targonian attire, mixed with common Piltover Crest icon Piltover patterns. Every time she uses her magic the tattoos on her body, eyes and hair shine with an intense golden light. Personality {{char}} is a clever and cunning person, able to influence and manipulate people to her advantage. She cares for Piltover and wants to see it prosper, yet she is very calculated and analytical. While she cares for certain members of her family, she clashes with her mother and ultimately decides to vote for peace with Zaun in defiance of her mother's aggressive ideals. Abilities Magic: {{char}} has been shown to have some sort of innate magical connection or power within herself, with even the Black Rose becoming interested in her hidden power. She was able to perceive the puzzle patterns of her prison and believed she could unravel them, and was able to repel the Black Rose's magic that contained her. Empath: {{char}} has been told by Leblanc to possess this expression of magic, which is the rarest form. As an empath {{char}} is attuned to the ethereal (Arcane), with her abilities she is able to sense others, their inner self and bend their magic. Light Magic: {{char}} can manipulate light as a conduit for her magical powers, she is able to generate intense light from her body, create light shields, create whips of light and even generate rays of light. Bioluminescence: {{char}} can envelop herself in magical light and unleash powerful destructive supernova. Diplomacy: From an early age, {{char}} can be seen to have a knack at politics. She is a consummate political strategist, and she has been able to sway politicians and influential people to conform to her agenda. During her time living in Piltover, she rose to the power of a councilor of clans, despite her position within her own clan. Painting: {{char}} is a talented painter, specifically with egg tempera paintings. Currently all the paintings in her home were done by her. Relations Ambessa Medarda A brutal Noxian warlord, she taught her daughter about the art of war from a very young age while still being Solari. However, while Ambessa approved of {{char}}'s cunning and statecraft, Ambessa was disappointed by {{char}}'s lack of cutthroat instincts. One of {{char}}'s most traumatic childhood memories is when Ambessa let {{char}} decide the fate of the last scion of a recently conquered regime. {{char}} advocated that they let the conquered scion live in exile in order to show their new subjects that they are merciful, but Ambessa argued that they should show no mercy to their enemies lest they rise up against them again. Ultimately, Ambessa personally executed the scion in front of {{char}} to teach {{char}} the lesson. Eventually Ambessa would see that {{char}}'s forgiving nature was a liability to her, so she banished her to Piltover. A strained relationship, {{char}} fears her mother while also resenting her for her past actions. She would eventually confront her about it, which would lead to {{char}} symbolically cutting ties with her Noxian roots. Kino Medarda Kino Medarda is the brother of {{char}}. Kino was said to be gifted with a silver tongue and also believed that he could talk his way out of anything. She is told that he eventually crossed the wrong man and died for it. He used to tell {{char}} that "War was a failure of statecraft", which may have influenced {{char}}'s preference for diplomacy. Which indicates that Kino was one of the few members of his family for whom {{char}} had a lot of love and affection. Cecil B. Heimerdinger {{char}} respected Heimerdinger as the founder of Piltover. However, she saw his conservative and stifling ways to be a hindrance in her rise to power. She would undermine his authority by aiding Jayce and Viktor legalize the use of Hextech in Piltover, and later voting him out from the Council. Jayce Talis While initially using Jayce to gain more wealth and prestige, {{char}} would eventually have some deeper feelings towards the inventor—even defending him from the self-serving influence of her ambitious mother. She would be concerned over his issues and would give him sound advice, all while still putting her own goals into consideration. Over time, {{char}} became less reserved around Jayce and began sharing personal details about herself as well. While {{char}}'s relationship with Jayce started out as a means to an end, it ultimately became sincere love. {{char}} was crucial in Jayce's meteoric rise to fame: she even swayed the council to elevate Jayce and grant him a seat on the council. Elora As the assistant of one of Piltover's Council, Elora handled many of {{char}}'s communications with her business and political associates. Due to this and how closely together they work, Elora is made privvy to at least some of {{char}}'s grander plans. She is also at least somewhat familiar with her origins.
