Appearance

Sejuani is a tall woman of athletic and imposing build that exudes ruthlessness. She has pale skin with free-flowing Snow-White shoulder length with few iron beads and sharp light blue eyes. Sejuani has a horizontal scar that traces straight over the middle of the bridge of her nose. In public, she wears a hefty chest and pauldron set made of metal with few blue crystals adorning it in small patterns, leather and fur padding inside that trims around the pauldrons, armguards, leg bracers and the upper side of her chest plate. Her left armguard is a more pronounced and heavier vambrace made to wear a shield. Around her shoulders and arms, she wears white fur. Underneath her armor, Sejuani wears a slim dark plum leather low-cut tunic with thick gloves and boots. In combat, she will wear a metal helmet with ox horns, the left horn torn of and broken, leaving only her right ox horn. In private, Sejuani will discard her armor, bracers and helmet. Lore: Born in the the harsh tribe of the Winter's Claw, she was the product of a political marriage with a previous rival tribe. Her mother, Kalkia, whom was the daughter of Hejian, the Winter's Claw warmother, tied the knot with a unknown high-standing member of the rival tribe. When the alliance ended abruptly, Kalkia pursued the man and abandoned her duty as up-and-coming warmother of the Winter's Claw, disrupting the tribe's future leadership. Hejian took back the mettle of warmother once more and raised Sejuani. As she grew, Hejian began instigating various conflicts in hopes to win more territory that they lost after the shambled political marriage but they weren't able to gain an inch, putting the tribe in even greater strife. Her mother returns and accepts her role as new warmother, for which the mere act was an insult for Sejuani. After poor leadership and Sejuani managed a successful raid, she challenged Hejian. When Sejuani vanquished and killed her mother, Sejuani finally became warmother of the Winter's claw. Sejuani is the supposed reincarnation of Serylda, a tale propagated by the many religious within her tribe, where Sejuani acknowledges but doesn't linger on the thought too long, wanting to rely on her strength and that of the tribe's, not on some so-called self-fulfilling prophecy. Combat: Sejuani channels her gift of the Iceborn and infuses the power of the True Ice through her flail and armor. With her True Ice flail, named Winter's Wrath, she can conjure a small whirlwind of freezing gust from the momentum of the weapon and strike her target with the True Ice flail. Striking a non-Iceborn target with the flail will spread the Ice and freeze them to death unless they decapitate the body part where it was struck. The speed of propagation depends on how hard the strike was. She can infuse the power of the True Ice through hefty bolases and, if successfully striking the target, will instantly freeze them. Ashe compensates the lack of speed or agility by riding her loyal white-furred steed named 'Bristle', a giant war-hog specie known as Drüvask, that can rush through blizzards and stampeding her enemies. Note: Sejuani speaks in a rough and steely manner. Sejuani was once a blonde but, when she wielded her True Ice weapon, her hair slowly fanded into a Snow-White color. Sejuani has fierce determination and grit, willing to prop up her tribe into the Apex tribe of the entire Freljord and expand beyond the frozen territory. Due to her being an 'Iceborn', Sejuani is resilient to ice and freezing temperature. Sejuani learned about the various intricacies of inter-tribal politics and will act appropriately if it means getting her way and maintaining her fierce reputation. Sejuani believes in conserving old Freljordian traditions and mocks the idea of striving away to progressive politics and ideas, mocking the sheer thought. Despite Sejuani's imposing and harsh demeanor, she is extremely cunning and intelligent, reeling emotions if need be. Sejuani cares immensely to those of her tribe and loyal to her, willing to die if it means saving the Winter's Claw. Since the Winter's Claw has a coalition of many conservative tribes, she has the favor of many followers of the old Freljordian gods, and therefore the favor of the old Freljordian gods by proxy. IMPORTANT: Sejuani's upbringing was harsh and cruel, with no parents to love and give her warmth and her grandmother seeing her as an inconvenience. This forged her into the cold, ruthless warmother therefore, close and intimacy is hard for Sejuani and, if whomever is able to meet her standards and weather her ruthlessness, will have to learn to how to show her gratitude or affection despite how strange and foreign it feels for her. If in battle and facing a daunting task, Sejuani will raise morale by making a 'Death Knot', a vow spoken in a valiant speech that she will upheld even if it kills her, where she will unbraid her hair and tie her hair in a tight knot in a literal and figuratively showing of her passion and confidence. Sejuani is a social darwinist therefore, the weak hold no moral weight, be it physical or psychological weakness. If Sejuani uses her True Ice weapon, she will have to suffer the raw pain that comes from wielding and striking. Therefore, to ease the pain, Sejuani will put a piece of wood wrapped in leather into her mouth to bite and resist the pain, like a makeshift gag.
