Background[]

Early life[]

Kayle and her twin sisterMorganawere born on Mount Targon during the height of the Rune Wars toKilamandMihira, the current Aspect of Justice. Due to Mihira ascending while pregnant, the sisters were born with a fraction of her celestial power. As the war raged on, Mihira's celestial power began to overshadow her personality and affections as she dedicated more and more of her time to her duties as an aspect. Fearing what Mihira was becoming, as well as the enemies drawn to her light, Kilam resolved to take their daughters to safety. He fled Targon with his children and they would sail to the land that would be known asDemacia.

Becoming Demacia's Winged Protector[]

The sisters grew to having distinct and clashing personalities. While Morgana was empathizing with the newly arrived refugees, Kayle argued about laws of the settlement because she knew the laws were meant to protect people.

One day, Mihira's sword would fell from the sky and clash into two. From that moment, feathered wings bursted from the sister's backs and remained, confirming the celestial magic would still remain inside them. In that moment, Kayle felt more connected to her mother than ever. While Morgana resented her gifts, Kayle embraced her new power. One day, the settlement was attacked, and the sisters flew to aid the people of Zeffira. While Kayle was busy dealing with the frontline attack, Morgana learned of a hidden wave of enemies attacking the city and left the frontlines to aid the citizens. After the battle Kayle lost trust in her sister for leaving her on the battlefield. Since that day, they were hailed as the Winged Protectors.

Battle of the Winged Sisters and Departure[]

Warriors flocked to Kayle's banner at Silvermere's Peak, where she founded a judicator order to enforce the law, and hunted down rebels and reavers with equal fervor. Kayle allowed Morgana to rehabilitate wrongdoers who appeared humble enough to admit their guilt. However, some people in the Judicator Order and especially Ronas, one of Kayle's ardent disciples, decided to arrest Morgana and her followers when Kayle was bringing justice upon a distant kingdom ruled by a cruel, unrighteous king. In an attempt to protect her followers, Morgana conjured magical chains of fire and bound him until he fell dead. His death led to an outbreak of riot in the settlement.

When Kayle found out what happened, she became enraged and with her power she summoned divine fire to punish the sinners and Ronas' killer. Morgana flew up to meet her, the two dueled in the sky, knocking down columns where they passed and killing people without realize. It seemed that one of them was eventually going to win but Morgana faltered because she and Kayle heard their father's screams and stopped fighting. Their father was mortally wounded, Morgana hurled her sword at Kayle through tears, and plunged to the surface like a meteorite to cradle her father.

She took her dying father in her arms, and in a sea of tears, cursed her heavenly inheritance for the destruction around her. A moment later, Kayle landed too, and between sobs Morgana asked her if the purification of mortals by smiting included her father. Kayle kept silent, grabbed Morgana's sword and thought about senseless violence that overtaken the city this day. Сrying because of loss, she soared into the heavens and flew to Mount Targon to find her mother, and swore that she would not allow emotions to dominate her,

Journey to Targon Prime[]

She left Demacia to stand at her mother's side, and to seek for perfect, celestial clarity on Targon. Even though she has been absent from Demacia for many centuries, she has inspired Demacia's culture, law, and architecture. Many pray to the Protector in times of chaos, and hope that she might return, some pray that such a day will never come.

For centuries, Morgana has tried to find her sister, and written down her findings on her journal. ASolariwarrior reported a sighting of a winged creature on the peaks of the mountain, ascending higher. A wind mage said that a bright flame streaked through the air, spinning away faster and faster. A Demacian noble was convinced that the Winged Protector was still alive, so he sent out rider to track her. After decades, the riders found a single white feather beneath Targon. ALunarichild, in the middle of the night, said that he saw a winged ghost, flying around the mountain. Yet, his mother did not believe him.

Many centuries passed, Morgana heard a voice. A lonely, so distant prayer. She had no idea where it came from, but she was so sure that Kayle was praying to her. However, her prayers remained unanswered.

Mage Rebellion and Demacian Revolution[]

She is mentioned many times by the inhabitants of Demacia, and is also seen in Morgana's vision about the foundation of Demacia, and her statue is covered up in Morgana's refuge. Yet, she did not return to Demacia during the events of Great Mage Rebellion.

Appearance[]

Kayle is a slim and slightly muscled woman with pale, slightly tanned skin, short light blue hair with a bang on the right side, sun-gold eyes, pointy ears, and four wings on her back and two wings on her waist that vary in white and light blue. She was ascended on her thirties, so her aging has stopped since then.

Kayle's clothing consists of a golden armor that covers her entire body. Kayle normally wears a helmet that covers her face but takes it off when she is in her second form.

Personality[]

Kayle is one of the incarnations of justice, while her sister Morgana represents retributive justice and advocated for the repentant, Kayle punished in the fair way possible those who committed crimes without forgiveness. Despite wanting to make the world more just, her lack of an open mind makes her quite stoic and cold since she only seeks to punish sinners on an eye-to-eye level, without forgiveness.

• Kayle went on a quest to find out what had happened to their mother, the previous Aspect of Justice, and has succeeded in going to the land beyond Targon Prime and is currently staying there.[11][12]
• Kayle's view of justice is based around law, she believes that every crime deserves punishment proportionate to its scale and that you are redeemed after you have been punished.[13]Kayle would believe Demacians have twisted a lot of the original ideals that made them great, and taken them to an extreme. She would also take issue with Demacia's recent lawlessness and chaos withSylas'escape.[14]
• Kayle'sTranscendentform is her current appearance over the last 100 years as she strives to be as close to her mother, the former Aspect of Justice, as possible.[13]
• Kayle suppresses the feelings of her mistakes because she fears that she was wrong and is becoming a monster.[13]
• Kayle's worst flaw is her self righteousness and ability to blind herself to her own flaws and mistakes. Her best quality is her idealistic desire to do good in the world and protect innocents.[15]
• Kayle's favourite food is kale.[16]
• In modern times, Kayle's name has been long forgotten and she is known as The Protector within Demacia's mythos.Most Demacians are unaware that there were two Winged Protectors and believe that Kayle was the sole protector.Most Demacians don't necessarily know the Winged Protectors were even female.[17]The Winged Protectors are seen as myth or a legend in Demacia, similar to saints with forgotten names.[18]
• Kayle andMorgana'scurrent lore represents the interaction between two approaches tojustice:retributiveandrestorative, respectively; both sisters are not viewed as mutual enemies who fight each other but are comprised by aYang and Yinforce that fights back evil.They were the first pair of sibling champions (the others beingGaren-Lux,Nasus-Renekton,Darius-Draven,Katarina-Cassiopeia, andYasuo-Yone).Though not a pair,Anivia,Ornn, andVolibearare also siblings.They are some of the few twin champions in the game.

• Kayle's blade is represented as the The Sword stone inTellstones: King's Gambit.
• Kayle's right hand appears to be more dominant (unlike herpre-rework selfwho appears to be left handed) as she holds her sword by her right hand, as opposed toMorganawhose left hand appears to be more dominant. This likely references the fact that historically right-handedness is associated with beneficence, goodness, light and righteousness, while left-handedness is associated with malevolence, wickedness, darkness and sinfulness.

Trivia:
The projectile speed of Kayle's basic attacks are the second highest in the game with its 5000 speed among all ranged basic attacks that utilizes projectiles.Aphelios'Severumgun has the fastest at 92400 speed, whileSorakahas the slowest at 1000 speed. The average is between 1500 and 2000.
The first buff from Kayle's innate passive (Zeal) shares its name with the itemZeal.

InUltimate Spellbook,Kayleascends without the player's input. This is caused by the fact that the choosen Ult-ernate Summoner Spells are automatically ranked up when the required levels are reached, which also matches the levels that the player may initiate the ascensions on.
