Annie Hastur Edit

Annie-Render
In the time shortly before the League, there were those within the sinister city-state of Noxus who did not agree with the evils perpetrated by the Noxian High Command. The High Command had just put down a coup attempt from the self-proclaimed Crown Prince Raschallion, and a crack down on any form of dissent against the new government was underway. These political and social outcasts, known as the Grey Order, sought to leave their neighbors in peace as they pursued dark arcane knowledge. The leaders of this outcast society were a married couple: Gregori Hastur, the Grey Warlock, and his wife Amoline, the Shadow Witch. Together they led an exodus of magicians and other intelligentsia from Noxus, resettling their followers beyond the Great Barrier to the northern reaches of the unforgiving Voodoo Lands. Though survival was a challenge at times, the Grey Order's colony managed to thrive in a land where so many others would have failed.

Years after the exodus, Gregori and Amoline had a child: Annie. Early on, Annie's parents knew there was something special about their daughter. At the age of two, Annie miraculously ensorcelled a shadow bear - a ferocious denizen of the petrified forests outside the colony - turning it into her pet. To this day she keeps her bear Tibbers by her side, often keeping him spellbound as a stuffed doll to be carried like a child's toy. The combination of Annie's lineage and the dark magic of her birthplace have given this little girl tremendous arcane power. It is this same girl who now finds herself as one of the most sought-after champions within the League of Legends - even by the city-state who would have exiled her parents had they not fled beforehand.

"Annie may be one of the most powerful champions ever to have fought in a Field of Justice. I shudder to think of her capabilities when she becomes an adult."
High Councilor Kiersta Mandrake

The Latest Toy Craze in Valoran Has Arrived! Edit

Announcement made by Average Gatsby:[1]

Reverse Annie Promo

Summoners!

The latest toy craze is positively sweeping across Valoran, and it promises to be bigger by far than any we've ever seen before! Experts are predicting hysterics beyond Yordle-Patch Dolls, My Little Kog'maw, and even the infamous Tickle-Me Cho'gath!

We're talking, of course, about the Reverse Annie Skin. If you've yet to purchase a bear suit and its Tibbers-sized accompaniment for your little one, we suggest you hurry off to the League of Legends Store while supplies last. After all, we've heard that bad things can happen when a Dark Child throws a temper tantrum!

Visual Upgrade Edit

Announcement made by NeeksNaman:[2]

Hide your combustibles! The Dark Child herself is receiving a visual upgrade in an upcoming patch, and will soon be taking names and melting faces more brilliantly than ever before.

This update brings a brand new model as well as improved textures, sounds, spell effects and voice over to Annie and all of her skins. But the pain doesn't end there, because Tibbers is also badder and more bear-like than you've ever seen him. The same care and attention has turned everyone's favorite ursine firebrand into a high-def, rampaging monstrosity, ready to scorch Annie's foes across the Fields of Justice.

The Lunar Revel is Here Edit

Announcement made by NeeksNaman:[3]

The Lunar Revel is upon us, and all the champions of the League are out honoring the first new moon of the year. And what better way to celebrate than by rolling out some year of the snake-themed swag.

There are plenty of reasons to feel the moon's brought good fortune this year. For the entire duration of the holiday you can select free, Lunar Revel-themed wards, and the gifting center is once again open for business. You can also earn some special summoner icons for participating in the new year festivities. And, of course, no holiday would be complete without a few appropriately-themed skins for some of your favorite champions. Annie, Corki, Cassiopeia, Xin Zhao and Jarvan IV are all sporting festive new threads to ring in the new moon in style.

"I want to catch a new pet to keep my favorite panda company, and they say there's a beastie out there eating little girls. He sounds perfect, but he keeps on running away! I don't think he likes fire. Don't burn so bright, Tibbers. That's a bad bear!
