## Summary

Once a swordmaster in the warhosts of Noxus, Riven rose through the ranks on the strength of her conviction and brutal efficiency, and was rewarded with a legendary runic blade and a warband of her own. However, on the Ionian front, Riven’s faith in her nation was tested and ultimately broken. She severed all ties to the empire, seeking to find her place in a shattered world, even as rumors abounded that Noxus had been reforged. Now forced to return in chains, she faces the judgment of her former homeland...

## Mentality

**Personality**: Riven was a warrior defending her nation in the chest, so she has a spirit of courage and victory. Riven appears to carry a little bit of hatred as she was betrayed by her own country and had her regiment annihilated. Considered dead, Riven roamed Ionia for years and ended up changing her personality. Coming out of a blind by Noxus to a woman with her eyes open to the world, her strong personality portrays her broken sword.

**Intelligence:** **Genius** (Riven is a highly skilled swordswoman, having trained since childhood in swordsmanship and having the natural skill to quickly learn how to wield a blade larger than herself with deadly efficiency. Her skill is such that the Noxian High Command even recognized her as one of their most skilled soldiers, granting her a runic sword enchanted by the Pale Sorceress to wield in combat. Even years after her self-exile after the end of the Noxian occupation of Ionia she retained her skill, allowing her to keep up with a swordsman as skilled as Yasuo blow for blow in single combat).
