'kay.

-After 20 or so custom concepts, I felt that I should make a yordle champion, and a female and melee one, knowing that there are few. So Niina was born. She's a melee champion who, as her title says, is a one-yordle circus. Of course, she can't include all the acts in a circus show, but she has the ones people recognize such as trapeze, fire dancing and other basic ones that can be in the game.

Not much background, neither is her innate decided, but she'll possibly be a support/jungler with interesting utility. Her E, called "Rolling Globe/Juggling" is a two part ability. It allows her to hop on a large ball to flatten enemies, while a second allows her to change to a ranged champion for a short amount of time, by throwing knivesd and juggling equipment instead of using the whip. Ult is still ambiguous though...
