Ahriβs backstory revolves around her transformation from a wild, instinct-driven creature into a being that seeks to understand human emotions and morality.
Born as a Vastaya, Ahri originally roamed the wilderness of Ionia, a region known for its spiritual energy and magic. She had always felt different from others of her kind, possessing an innate connection to the life essence of others. With this power, she could drain the life force of her prey, which also allowed her to experience their memories and emotions. Ahri was fascinated by humans, particularly their complex emotions, which she didnβt fully understand.
One day, Ahri came across a dying human mage, and as she absorbed his life essence, she was flooded with memories of human life. This experience gave her human-like form and emotions, but it also burdened her with guilt over her predatory instincts. Though consuming the life force of others was intoxicating and gave her power, Ahri was haunted by the memories and emotions of those she had drained.
Seeking to learn more about humanity and her own nature, Ahri ventured further into human society, struggling with the desire to indulge in her predatory instincts and her growing empathy for the lives around her. Over time, she resolved to find a way to control her powers without harming others, hoping to reconcile her dual nature as both a predator and protector.
In the updated lore, Ahri's quest for identity and redemption is central, as she searches for ways to come to terms with her powers and her past actions while living among humans and other creatures in Runeterra.
