* Current Official Bio
* Unofficial Updated Bio
* Old Official Bio

This is Willo's official bio currently found in her champion page in-game.

Though short-lived and even-tempered, the faeries of the Summer Court wage an endless war against the encroachment of modern civilization. Willo might only have a few summers to her name, but her aggressive demeanor more than makes up for her lack of experience. She charges into the fray with an eagerness and tenacity that worries the precious few remaining faeries.

At a time when the fae should be regrouping to bolster their dwindling numbers, Willo has taken it upon herself to take arms against anyone who stands to threaten the faeries' way of life.

This is an unofficial version of Willo's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding her. Sources can be found here.

While most faeries are currently regrouping to bolster their dwindling numbers, Willo has taken it upon herself to take up arms against both the Magistrate and Resistance, much to the worry of the remaining few faeries.

This was Willo's in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.

Though short-lived and even-tempered, the faeries of the Summer Court wage an endless war against the encroachment of modern civilization. Willo might only have three summers to her name, but her aggressive demeanor more than make up for her lack of experience. She charges into the fray with an eagerness and tenacity that worries the precious few remaining faeries.

At a time when the fae should be regrouping to bolster their dwindling numbers, Willo has taken it upon herself to attack both the Magistrate and the Resistance against them.

## Summary

Willo is a damage champion who provides consistent splash damage and focuses on zone control and instantly denying enemies all healing effects. With her Wand of Overgrowth, Willo shoots Blasts of Fae Energy that explode on impact without damage falloff. Her right click, Deadzone, will fire out a Toxic Spore that covers the location it hits in a circle area, preventing enemy healing so long as they're in the area and for a short time after escaping it. Willo can control the point and other zones by throwing her Seedlings which, after hitting the ground, will explode after a short period into four smaller Seedlings, which also explode after a small delay. All explosions by Seedlings cause area damage, which will break down any and all enemies who fail to move away from the immediate area. Her mobility ability, Flutter, allows her to quickly fly into any direction she is facing, including vertically, allowing her to change her position to a nearby platform, escape over a wall, or chase down a fleeing enemy. Her Ultimate Ability, Fae Flight, allows Willo to fly quickly into the air, gaining cc immunity and infinite ammo without having the need to reload. Willo's basic dps is rather low for a damage champion, making her a difficult champion to 1v1 flanks with if flutter is on cooldown. Uncontested, Willo can devastate the point and limit the effectiveness of enemy healers.

## Trivia

* General
* Champion Skins

* Lore
* Cameos
* References
* Concepts
* Other

**Lore**

* Willo originates from the Enchanted Forest.
* Although Willo is only three years old, she's an adult in faerie years.
	+ By this point though, Willo would logically have turned four at some point during Yagorath's rampage.
* Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Willo would be around 3'10 or 115cm tall.

**Cameos**

Willo appears in the following content:

* **Cinematics and Trailers**
	+ *Strix's Teaser Trailer*

* **Sprays**
	+ *Chibi Willo*

Notable Characters that appear in Moji's own content includes:

* **Cinematics and Trailers**
	+ Drogoz, Fernando, Evie, Lex, Pip, Torvald, and Tyra - *Willo's Teaser Trailer*

**References**

* Her voice line "Hey! Listen!" (▶️) is a reference to the fairy Navi from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
* Her ultimate voice line "Reach for the sky!" (▶️) may be a reference to Toy Story.
* The line "It's just a prank, bro." (▶️) references the controversial YouTuber, Logan Paul.
* The line "My main goal is to blow you up, then act like I don't know nobody. Hahaha!" (▶️) references the famous Vine by rapper Riff Raff.

**Concepts**

* There are a number of skin concepts for Willo that ultimately went unused; these include various types of skins, such as a maid and vampire skin to name a few.

**Other**

* Willo is the only champion so far whose default voice pack was replaced at some point. The original voice lines by Xanthe Huynh were switched out in Open Beta 66 for a new version by Kira Buckland, only for the original voice to be restored in Open Beta 68. The replacement lines can be heard here, and footage can be seen here.
	+ The replacement voice pack added the line "I don't like your voice." (▶️) for killing Evie, which references Kira Buckland being Evie's voice actress as well, though the line was removed when the original pack was restored.
* Willo was made as a plant-based fairy character due to not wanting a generic girl with wings wielding a generic gun.
* Originally, Willo's cards were created under the assumption faeries were closer to stereotypical smaller sized fairies, before the artists found out Willo was meant to be plant-based and more moderately sized. Some of these concepts were later posted on Twitter.
* While the faerie shown in the card Flora has been noted as bearing resemblance to the 44th US President Barack Obama, the artist of the card claimed this was unintentional and he has no idea why it ended up as it did.
* In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Willo, these recolors included the Lilac skin.
* Having been present in the mobile game 'Paladins Strike', Willo received unique skins exclusive to Strike. These skins include Bewitching Willo and Moonflower Willo.

**Champion Skins**

* **Bluebell**
	+ This skin is named after the Hyacinthoides flower, commonly referred to as Bluebells.

* **Viceroy**
	+ A viceroy is an official who runs a polity in the name of and as the representative of the monarch of the territory.

* **Jolly Holly**
	+ This is the only skin to change just Willo's wings.
	+ This skin is named after the song A Holly Jolly Christmas by Johnny Marks.

* **Hemlock / Firecracker**
	+ The Hemlock skin's splash art appears as a spray.
	+ The Hemlock skin was intended to be teased with a unique piece of artwork, but this ultimately didn't end up happening.
	+ The Firecracker skin was removed from all chests it was in, for it to later appear as a Twitch Prime reward; it shares this trait with Xeno-Buster Ash, Infiltrator Strix, Carnival Ying, and Omega Dredge.
	+ The Firecracker skin is one of the only recolors of a non-default skin to not be released at the same time as the original skin.

* **Sugar Plum**
	+ This skin is likely named after a candy of the same name.
	+ The line "You're a holly jolly headache." (▶️) references the song A Holly Jolly Christmas by Johnny Marks.
	+ The joke "What do you call an ache in Santa's back? A Krampus." (▶️) references the Krampus, a type of demon that on Christmas, punishes children who have misbehaved.
	+ This skin shares its theme with A-bomb-inable Bomb King, Merrymaker Evie, Merrymaker Lian, Merrymaker Dredge, Merrymaker Maeve, and Kraumpus Raum.

* **Will.0 / Yellow Jacket**
	+ The line "Print: Hello world!" (▶️) references the beginner program "Hello, world!".
	+ The line "No bugs here, only features; stunning features, I might add. Ha haha ha." (▶️) references how some program and video game developers will often claim an unintentional bug is actually an intended feature, to the point many individuals joke about a bug that severly breaks a program or game being an intended feature.
	+ The Yellow Jacket skin is one of the few recolors of a non-default skin to not be released at the same time as the original skin.
	+ This skin appears in the Insert Coin avatar.
