Qiyana

Ixtal

In truth, Ixtal is not the uninhabited wilderness many imagine. Far from prying eyes and greedy hands, the sprawling arcologies of Ixaocan remain safely hidden by the deepest rainforests.From the hinterlands of Kalduga to the ageless beauty of the Amarantine Coast, the Shuriman jungles beyond the desert wastes remain shrouded in mystery. Once part of Shurima's vast empire, these verdant forests are home to many strange and terrifying creatures. Secluded deep in the wilderness of eastern Shurima, the sophisticated arcology-city of Ixaocan remains mostly free of outside influence. Having witnessed from afar the ruination of the Blessed Isles, and the softening of Buhru culture, the Ixtali view the other factions of Runeterra as little more than upstarts and pretenders, and use their powerful elemental magic to keep any intruders at bay.

Ixaocan

Ixaocan is the capital city of Ixtal. Located in southern region of the Shuriman Jungle. Hidden city of the Ixtali. Far older than most outsiders would ever guess, its great arcologies are neither wholly habitats nor colleges of magic, but something in between.

Magical People

Magical individuals, also commonly known as Mages, are beings that have either been born with magical properties or gain magical abilities through some form of training. There are a huge variety of different magical abilities that these indiviuals are capable of but almost all of them utilize magical energies pulled from the Material, Spiritual and Celestial realms. Some have been magically altered to become completely unique beings entirely.

Description

In the jungle city of Ixaocan, Qiyana plots her own ruthless path to the high seat of the Yun Tal. Last in line to succeed her parents, she faces those who stand in her way with brash confidence and unprecedented mastery over elemental magic. With the land itself obeying her every command, Qiyana sees herself as the greatest elementalist in the history of Ixaocan—and by that right, deserving of not only a city, but an empire.

Story

Qiyana was born into the royal family of Ixaocan, the Yunalai, being the last of her nine sisters in the line of succession and grew up thinking that the throne would never be hers. Qiyana was educated in the elemental magical arts of Ixtal, she proved to be one of the best students of her time and not only that but at a very early age she mastered powerful techniques and spells that her older sisters were still struggling to achieve, seeing the potential within her, Qiyana began to believe that the throne of Yun Tal should be hers.

Personality

Though she does possess the skill to back it up, Qiyana is a proud and arrogant woman who brags often and loudly for all to hear about her prowess with elemental magic, her ostentatious nature reflected even in her choice of attire. She thinks very highly of herself and is fully convinced she deserves the throne regardless of her place in the line of succession. She is extremely competitive, proactive, and determined. When challenged by her older sister Inessa to ritual combat, Qiyana displayed a ruthless side by not only rising to the challenge but crippling her sister in the fight to assert how seriously she takes her desire to rise to the top and ultimately become Empress.

Appearance

Qiyana is a young and attractive Ixtali woman with tanned skin and wavy shoulder-length white hair. She has a round face and button nose, and yellow eyes. She is of short and curvaceous stature, with a trim waist, broad hips, and thick thighs. She wears a strapless blue-green dress with a black midsection, detailed all over in gold. On her lower half she wears black leggings and a pair of open-toed sandals. She lavishes her appearance with jewellery and makeup, wearing a golden tiara, bracelets on her wrists and upper arms, and a necklace, all of which are inlaid with large green gems. Her eyes are decorated with golden-green eye shadow, and her nails are also painted in her signature green.

Power, abilities and weapons

Magical: Qiyana was born with natural magical abilities, which can grow the more she trains and expands her knowledge about magic. Qiyana is a natural prodigy in the elemental magics of Ixtal, proven to be one of the most powerful elementalists in Ixtal. Since childhood, Qiyana has managed to master the most advanced elemental techniques where her sisters struggled to grasp the basics. The most unique part of Qiyana's special talent in elemental magic is that she has learned to master not just a single element, as most of the Yun Tal do, but rather she has mastered three. Despite this, the elemental magic that Qiyana struggles with is fire, which she is self-conscious about it.

With this, she can throw out shards of ice at her opponents or freeze them in place. Qiyana Terrashape Rock.png Magma Axiom By manipulating magma and rocks, Qiyana is capable of infusing her weapon with magma magic, allowing her to toss heated stones at her opponents to deal immense damage and cause huge explosions. Qiyana Terrashape Brush.png Nature Axiom By manipulating plants, Qiyana is capable of infusing her weapon with nature magic, allowing her to manipulate grass to restrain enemies and grow large bushes to camouflage her. Ohmlatl Proficiency: Qiyana's primary weapon used in combat is an ohmlatl, a traditional ring-shaped Ixtali blade capable of acting as a medium for Qiyana's elemental magic, allowing her to infuse it with magical properties. Qiyana wields it with ease, capable of spinning and tossing it with acrobatic strength. Combat Mastery: Qiyana is a well versed fighter, especially in ritualistic Ixtali combat. She expressed this during her initial attempt to claim the title of empress within the Yun Tal, challenging her eldest sister Inessa in combat, easily defeating and crippling her.

Relationships

Qiyana's parents neglected her due to her being the youngest of her 9 sisters, and thus furthest from the throne. As a result of her parent's preferential treatment, Qiyana does not have a good relationship with her siblings. Inessa, the eldest daughter and 12 years Qiyana's senior, sought to humble her by besting her in ritual combat, but was instead defeated and crippled. Mara, the youngest of Qiyana's elder sisters, conceded her prefectship over Tikras after Qiyana exposed the hidden paths between villages in Ixtal. The Piltovan raid that followed killed about half the populace, and nearly Mara herself. Unbeknownst to Mara, Qiyana planned the entire ordeal in order to take over as prefect, amassing additional power and support from Ixtal citizens.
