As the reclusive leader of theFrostguard, many believeLissandrais a living saint whose followers bring healing and wisdom to the tribes of theFreljord. The truth is perhaps more sinister, as she uses her elemental magic to twist the power of True Ice into something dark and terrible, entombing or impaling any who would reveal her deepest secrets. Indeed, the legacy of her past may yet be the beginning of the end for Runeterra.

Background[]

Early life[]

Lissandra came into existence millennia ago, a time when the barriers between the tangible, physical world andotherrealmswere hotly contested andbeings of old magicroamed freely.

In this chaotic epoch, Lissandra and her sisters, Avarosa and Serylda, sought to conquer whatever they could. Lissandra tried to control the mortal world, only to be attacked by the claws ofVolibear, rendering her sightless.

War of the Three Sisters[]

Deprived of her sight, Lissandra walked in dreams instead. Using her magic, she established a connection with powerful extradimensional entities known as theWatchers. On behalf of herself and her sisters, she made a deal with them to prepare Runeterra for the impending arrival of the Void.

In exchange, Lissandra and her sisters would be granted near-immortality and the ability to withstand the worst of the numbing frost. NamedIceborn, they were promised to be spared until the very end. Lissandra herself became the Watchers' Seeker, mediating their will to the Iceborn.

However, Avarosa and Serylda grew weary of their subservient role and sought to free themselves from their constraints. Caught in the middle, Lissandra tried to soothe her sisters' concerns while appealing to the Watchers for more time, but the Watchers became increasingly impatient. At some point, Avarosa and Serylda beseeched the demi-godOrnnto construct an expansivechasm and bridge, where they would then lock away the Watchers.

The sisters' conflicts had escalated into a full-scale war. As the war drew to an end, Avarosa and Serylda led their armies up into the mountains to face Lissandra. Despite Lissandra's efforts to remind them of the conquests achieved through their allegiance to the Watchers, her sisters remained indifferent.

At last, the Watchers had arrived in Runeterra. Drawing upon all ancient magic, Lissandra sacrificed her sisters and their amassed armies, before sealing the Watchers underneath a barrier of magical ice at the depths of the Howling Abyss.

Founding of the Frostguard[]

Over the passing years, Lissandra slowly realized that the barrier containing the Watchers was insufficient. The monstrous beings she had entombed were merely slumbering, gradually corrupting the True Ice around them into a more sinister essence. Now, they roamed through Lissandra's dreams as easily as she had theirs, and always she would wake, terrified, professing her loyalty to the chilling eternity they promised.

Lissandra rallied her remaining devotees to venerate her departed sisters. Their objective: accumulate as much True Ice as possible to prolong the delay of the Watchers' return, scouring the frozen expanses to enlist those of Iceborn lineage who would join their cause.

Lissandra and the first of her Frostguard exhausted all means to rewrite the history of the Freljord, erasing all records of the true events. Yet, whispers of rumors and prophetic tales endured in folklore and songs, foretelling the return of Avarosa and Serylda. Lissandra would kill silently anyone who had been claimed their reincarnations.

The Dream Thief[]

In one instance, Lissandra senses a Watcher trying to wake up. Laying down on the Howlling Abyss, naked, she uses her psychic powers to feed the Watcher dreams of others. She traverses the entire Freljord in astral form looking checking on other's dreams and even remarks on a young girl who appears to be iceborn.

In the final moments of the ritual, Lissandra enters the Watcher own dream, where she sees herself being devoured by them. She awakens horrified and spilling bile out of her mouth. But the Watcher is finally sleeping again. For her, this is a small price to pay for to keep them at bay.

The Hero of the Frost Moon[]

On a night of frost moon, Lissandra walks through a sacred sanctum of hears, where she visits numerous ice coffins holding half-dead frozen people whom she uses to feed the Watchers. She visits their dreams as she passes between them.

She remarks two sisters who were frozen together and who seemingly are devoted to each other. She thinks their devotion is foolish and mentions she found it more convenient to lose her sisters.

Story Hunting[]

At recent events, Lissandra commanded the story hunters to attack the Notai tribe, for they may harbor ancient history through their culture of retelling myths and legends. They foundNunuand other Notai children and took them to theFoundling Village. There, he met Lissandra personally, who asked him countless questions about his mother’s stories, always seeking information about oneparticularsong.

Lissandra also told him about one fierce monster that killed all who sought its power, thwarting the Frostguard who were sent each year, never to return. Actually, she was trying to discover the location of the Svellsongur artifact.

Appearance[]

Lissandra is a towering blue pale-skinned woman with a semblance of a sculpture. She wears a gown that looks like is made of stone or ice. She wears her signature horned headpiece and is always being followed by a trail ofDark Ice. Her bluish silver hair is braided into a single pigtail that goes down to her waist.

Personality[]

Lissandra is a very imposing presence. She ports herself like a glorious monolith, always standing above everyone else. Lissandra is very manipulative, frigid, demanding, a perfectionist, and will do anything to achieve her goals. She is a very harsh leader and does not cope well with defeat or failure. She is also a very patient person, observing the Howling Abyss for almost ten millennia, waiting for the beings below to wake up.

Although she has this icy facade, Lissandra is a fearful person. She is in constant dread that her past will catch up to her and perpetually carries a heavy burden. She came to accept that she will find no peace in this life.

Relations[]

Avarosa and Serylda[]

Lissandra and her two sisters, Avarosa and Serylda, were three Iceborn sisters who served the FrozenWatchersuntil the latter two decided to fight for independence. Lissandra is the youngest of the triplets.[1]At the final battle on the Bridge above the Howling Abyss, she sacrificed her two sisters. After the fall of the Watchers and the deaths of her two sisters, Lissandra tried to wipe out any historical records of them from the Freljord. She was unable to completely snuff out legends regarding Avarosa and Serylda which still lingered on to the modern day. Seeing a threat in the tales about her past, Lissandra secretly plots the kill any potential Avarosa and Serylda figureheads.

Spirit Gods[]

She lost her sight toVolibearduring one of their confrontations in the early days of the Freljord and along with her Frostguard has been actively containing his worship as well as other old demigods' in order to weaken them, though he refuses to vanish and continues to actively expand his influence.

Legend says the Three Sisters asked forOrnn'shelp to build theHowling Abyss, though the tale may not be true.

Lissandra is actively trying to contain the worship ofAnivia, sending out allied raiding parties to attack Notai carravans. At some point Anivia herself would battle against the Frostguard army.

Watchers[]

The Watchers would give Lissandra and her sisters trueIcebornpowers. Lissandra was the 'Seeker', the intermediary between the Iceborn and the Watchers. Eventually, after learning about the Watchers true intent, her sisters would openly rebel against them, with Lissandra seemingly still allied with them. During the final day of the rebellion, the Watchers broke out and threatened to consume the world, Lissandra betrayed theWatchersand sealed them away under theHowling Abyss. At that battle she sacrificed many, including both Avarosa and Serylda. Lissandra and her Frostguard keep watch over the Howling Abyss in an attempt to prevent the release of theWatchers.

Ivern[]

Before becoming the Green Father,Ivernthe Cruel was opposed to the Three Sisters.

Yeti[]

Lissandra unleashed an icy cataclysm to seal theWatcherwhich also decimated the Yeti civilization and robbed the Yeti of their magic, resulting in most Yeti descending intosavagery. The Frostguard keep some of the living savage Yetis as military animals.

Trolls[]

Lissandra has found an easy ally inTrundleand the FrostTrolls. She would1freezemany Frost Trolls, eventually turning them into obedient8thralls.

Udyr[]

Lissandra tried to kill Udyr and other spirit walkers when he was a boy.

AsheandSejuani[]

Ashe and Sejuani are believed by Freljordians to be the reincarnations of Avarosa and Serylda, but are also possibly their direct descendants, making Lissandra their great-aunt-many-times-removed. Currently Lissandra is the leader of theFrostguardand openly hostile towardsAshe'sand herAvarosan, andSejuaniand theWinter's Claw(as suggested byLegends of Runeterraofficial artworks, whereTryndamereis battling against the Frostguard forces, as well as the Frostguard openly raiding Avarosan settlements and attackingBraumwhen excapingDa'arvonginThe Raidcinematic).

During her attempt to find Avarosa's grave, Ashe and her original Avarosans were attacked by Lissandra's followers who were trying to conceal the truth. It is unknown what Ashe thinks of the Frostguard at the moment. Lissandra appears to know about Ashe faking the origin of her bow, as stated by one of theirLegends of Runeterrainteractions.

NunuandWillump[]

She metNunuin the Foundling Village after his tribe was attacked by raiders. She told him about a beast that lived near by, which Nunu would later befriend and nameWillump. Her intention was to gain a gem that swirled with the dreams of any mortal mind nearby that theYetiWillumpwas keeping.

Trivia[]

• Lissandra is among the very last living originalIceborn.Based on the timeline inRealms of Runeterra, Lissandra is between around 9000 and 10000 years old.
• Lissandra used to tellthe storyof theHowling Abyssif one waits 30 seconds after winning a game there. It was later removed due to having some details clashing with the current canon."Before magic shattered the broken peaks"might be referencingAurelion Solunleashing anewborn starinto a mountain to seal a Void rift or the destruction made by the Rune Wars."Before the desert swallowedShurima"implies she is as or even older thanAzir.Both of the previous statements are confirmed true based on the official timeline.
• Of the Three Sisters, Lissandra is possibly the most worshipped due to the Cult of the Three Sisters which she proliferated. The Ice Witch; however, is one of the most feared and hated figures in Freljord.
• Thematically, Lissandra lost her sight, Serylda lost her voice and Avarosa lost her hearing as Lissandra could see what needed to be done, but was blind to the cost, Avarosa could no longer ‘hear’ Lissandra’s explanations and Serylda’s voice in the matter has been lost to time.[2]
• Lissandra controls the narrative of what happened to make it easier to bend it to her will as well as to hide the failure of her family.[3]
• Lissandra might think she’s more clear headed than she actually is due to hearing the whispers of theWatchersover millenia.[4]
• Not all of the original followers of the Three Sisters werehumans, which explains the existence of non-humanIcebornin theFreljord.
• Lissandra's eyes were mauled byVolibearhimself before she became Iceborn. After she became one, she managed to overcome her blindness through ice manipulation.[5]Lissandra might use echolocation to guide herself (considering how she shouts after using any of her abilities).Her original eyes were crystal-blue in color.
• Lissandra possesses telepathic abilities which allow her to mind-travel during her dreams to see things beyond her sight, enter others' dreams and communicate with theWatchers.Lissandra uses this ability to feed the Watchers with those dreams.Lissandra seeks those who areIcebornsince they could prove useful or dangerous in the future.Lissandra uses dream manipulation to stop those seeking to destroy her andThe Frostguard Citadel.Each time Lissandra dies in someone else's dream or tries to put a Watcher back to its sleep, she loses part of her spirit.
• The 5 characters appearing in her storyThe Dream Thiefwill potentially play an important role during the11returnof theWatchers.
• Based on the timeline inRealms of Runeterra, Lissandra is between around 9000 and 10000 years old.

Her Iceborn army andAniviaeventually defeated the Watchers. It is implied Lissandra would later murder Avarosa for revenge.
• Lissandra is her original name, but later became similar to a title for the Frostguard leader. She murdered and stole the identity of a Frostguard leader, then she slowly began to warp the tribe's proud traditions. Whenever her human form grew old, she faked her own death and then murdered her successor to steal her identity.
• TheSeeker's Armguardused to be hers. The gauntlet is now inSejuani'spossession (how the Fury of the North got it is uncertain).[6]
• The Frostguard appears to be an ally ofAshe'sAvarosanbut is actually preparing for the return of the Watchers, ready to strike both the Avarosan and the Winter's Claw in the process.
• Lissandra met withQuinnandValorin theFrostguardcitadel when theyjourneyed to the Freljordon a scouting mission atJarvan IV'sbehest.She later pursued them in her true form (the Ice Witch) after they sneaked out the citadel (neither knows both incarnations are the same person).

Trivia:
Lissandra first appeared in theJournal of Justice,Issue 2, several years before her announcement as a champion. Like now, she was portrayed as the leader of one of the three tribes of the Freljord, but her portrayal was originally vastly different, as a mortal princess allied withAshe's tribe.This was later revealed to be her alter ego, and most people are not aware of her being the Ice Witch herself.
If Ashe, Lissandra, and/orSejuaniare played on opposing teams,Battle for Freljordwill trigger. This in-game quest consists in one killing the other to earn the title of 'Queen of Freljord' (complete with a floating ice crown floating above their heads) referencing the civil war taking place there, between the three tribes each lead.
Lissandra is the only champion to possess a single-targeted ability (Frozen Tomb) that can be used on herself but not on allies.
Lissandra,Elise, andLucianare the only champions to feature a monologue on their login screens.
Lissandramay be the feminine form of Greek name Λύσανδρος (Lysander or "liberator").
Her champion theme is the same as the pick music ofARAMand is titled "Freljord".
