Trivia

• Ahri is inspired by the Nine-tailed fox - a mythological being originating from East Asia, and has become a recurring creature in modern fantasy.
• Ahri was designed by Ezreal, although Coronach helped him develop her kit.^[1]
  • There were several different names for the Nine-Tailed Fox throughout development: Ezreal himself referred to the Nine-Tails as Gumiho (구미호).^[2] The more common name Kumiho is a direct reference to the Nine-tailed fox from Korean mythology. A player found a poll for her name on the Riot Korea webpage,^[3] which gave 6 different options to vote for:
    • Danbi (단비) (meaning Saviour or Saving Rain)
    • Nabi (나비) (meaning Butterfly)
    • Ruri (루리) (meaning Dazzle)
    • Ari (아리) (meaning Graceful or Elegant)
    • Chorong (초롱) (meaning Glittering)
    • Dasom (다솜) (meaning Loving).
• Ahri is voiced by Laura Post.
• Ahri was simultaneously released (on all servers) with the launch of the Korean servers.
• Ahri's dance is based on the choreography for the song Run Devil Run by Girls' Generation (소녀시대; So Nyeo Shi Dae/SNSD), an extremely popular Korean girl group. A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
•  Essence Theft, previously shared its name with Nasus' passive -  Soul Eater. The name was changed in a minor patch shortly after her release.
  • In the Champion Spotlight, Phreak refers to her passive as "Soul Eater".
• Ahri's final design has fox ears, whereas her original design did not. Her clothes were also changed.
• Her title on the League of Legends site is displayed as "the 9 Tails Fox",^[4] while in-game and spotlight are both "the Nine-Tailed Fox". The latter title is grammatically correct.
  • This has been fixed on the website.

Skins

• Ahri's hairstyle in her main skin is a fish tailed braid. She shares this trait with Lissandra.
• Dynasty Ahri is wearing modernized Hanbok (traditional Korean clothing).
  • Additionally, this skin changes her dance to a traditional Korean dance.
• Midnight Ahri is also referred to as the Shadow Fox skin.
• Foxfire Ahri might be a reference to the Mozilla Firefox browser as she bears the same color scheme of the browser's icon in her splash art background.
  • Foxfire Ahri shares the internet browsers theme with Explorer Ezreal, Chrome Rammus, and Safari Caitlyn.
