Sejuani is a playable character in League of Legends and one of the three dominant powers within The Freljord. She is an Iceborn, the Warmother of the Winterclaw Tribe, and the modern day reincarnation of Serylda, one of the fabled Three Sisters of old. While not inherently evil in that Sejuani does not choose to bring suffering onto others from a sense of sadism or desire to destroy, The Winterclaw nonetheless are brutal warmongers who will do anything and everything in order to survive. For Sejuani, only the strong can live in The Freljord, and only the strongest can rule it. She is the friend turned archnemesis of Ashe and her Avarosans, a major enemy to Lissandra and her Frostguard, and the adoptive daughter of Udyr.
She is voiced by Nicki Burke.
Biography/Lore[]
Early life[]
Sejuani was born of a Freljord political marriage, daughter of the Warmother of the Winter's Claw, Kalkia. But her mother would quickly abandon the role of Warmother, instead pursuing another man she had her eyes on, leaving the tribe in chaos. Instead, Sejuani was raised by her Grandmother Heijan, a cold and uncaring mother figure who's expectations Sejuani could never seem to meet.
The Winter's Claw was left poor from the neglect of Kalkia, but during a visit to the Avarosan, Sejuani saw how well people could have it under a competent warmother. During her visit, Sejuani was taken in by the famous warrior and warmother, Grena, who Sejuani learned had once bested Kalkia in a duel, an act that earned Sejuani's adoration. It was also here she met with Grena's only daughter, Ashe, who became Sejuani's best and only friend. Though things quickly turned sour as Grena started to openly question Heijan's treatment of Sejuani, an act which infuriated Heijan. Heijan cut all ties with the Avarosan and started expanding into the surrounding tribes, which only further weakened the Winter's Claw.
Word reached Kalkia about the failiures of the Winter's Claw, which brought her return where she proclaimed herself Warmother again. Sejuani was enraged by her mother's return and started secretly plotting to overthrow her and become the new warmother.
During an expedition, Sejuani once more met with Ashe, who was starving and alone in Ursine lands after the Frostguard had destroyed the rest of the Avarosan. Sejuani took pitty on her old friend and brought her back to the Winter's Claw, an act which the new warmother and the Frostguard did not take kindly. Sejuani told Ashe about her plan to overthrow Kalkia and asked for Ashe's help, to which she agreed and they both swore and oath, making them Battlesisters. Though this friendship was short lived, for unbeknownst to Ashe; Sejuani's plan involved raiding and destroying the neighbouring tribe, the Ebrataal Tribe, to steal their supplies. Ashe did not approve of this raid and the two former battlesisters were now sworn enemies.
After Ashe's betrayal, Sejuani completed another raid against a Noxus Warship, hoping it would be enough to rally the tribes in support of Sejuani. During this raid, Sejuani freed Bristle from the ship's slaughterhouse, who would become her most royal steed. This raid proved enough, and Sejuani returned back to the Winter's Claw to challange her mother to a duel, an act which was extremely taboo. Sejuani won decisively, killing her mother in the process.
Sejuani was now the new warmother and did not waste a second, she immediately began raiding and absorbing nearby tribes while also throwing out the Frostguard. Sejuani had taken the Winter's Claw from the brink of collapse and ruin, and had turned it into the most feared and brutal tribe of the Freljord.
Contemporary history[]
Recent events[]
The Freljord is currently undergoing the harshest winter in living memory, and the Winter's Claw are starving becouse of it. Sejuani, after returning from a failed hunting mission, found herself at a loss of what to do. Thats when a old man from a village she destroyed requested to speak with her. The old man should have starved weeks ago and Sejuani was intrigued over how he was still alive, where he mentioned that he had eaten from the Cauldron of Ornn, a legendary artifact with the ability to fully feed anyone who eats from it for, leaving them full for several weeks. But the Cauldron had been stolen by the Volibear and is deep in Ursine territory. Sejuani decided to take a gamble, believing the old mans story, and is now on an expedition into Ursine lands to steal the Cauldron, joined by Olaf, in hopes that it will be able to save her starving people.
Appearance[]
Sejuani is a athletic, pale woman with white hair tied up into a bun and a large scar vertically across her nose. She wears a mix of furs and metal armor, decorated with blue crystals. Over her head she wears a metal helmet with two blue crystal horns on either side, one of which has been broken off almost entirely. As a weapon she wield the Winter's Wrath.
Personality[]
For Sejuani, might makes right. A fierce enforcer of the ways of the Winter's Claw, Sejuani is a hardened true survivor and a veteran of countless, and more endless to come, battles. To survive in the harsh and unforgiving realm of The Freljord is to fight with everything you have, and the will, and drive, to do what you must to ensure it. While nowhere near an evil and maniacal cultist and traitor like Lissandra, Sejuani also holds disdain for Ashe and what she perceives to be pathetic weakness. To her, diplomacy has no place in their arctic home for it breeds weakness and complacency, which will be the death of you in such a brutal land. Sejuani takes what she wants without any consideration for those she attacks, will use any underhanded tactics needed to get the job done, and harbors contempt for the meek and weak.
While openly hostile and a ferocious warmonger to her enemies, to her people, Sejuani is a beloved warrior and protector. She does not have any sadistic tendencies nor does she kill for the thrill of it, she simply does what she has to to ensure the survival of her people.
