Well, the Crimson debuff kinda works like Kata's mark debuff, although stackable and stronger on tankier targets. The W is basically Sivir's spell shield, just with a different bonus if blocks. And ok, maybe I messed things a bit when I mentioned Anivia, only similarities here are the walls. Overall I think this set works really fine, activate shield to improve success when ambushing, make a dash so you can cut your target's primary escapeway with a barrier, then use the second as a gap closer, so you can finally hit with the Q and some item effects, like Liche Bane or Deathfire Grasp. I just think that you could personalize it a bit more, but I don't want to throw random ideas at a character that doesn't belongs to me (Must admit that I don't really know what would I change, and still, the little ideas that come to my mind are not that original).

What I didn't understand before (I blame the fact that I'm not a native) is that you were actually talking about the Black Rose organization. Yeah, it actually makes me feel even weirder.

Now, with all this walltext I don't mean to say that this is bad work. Overall, I think that it's really fine, it's just that I have mixed feelings bout it.

P.S.: Shame on Riot for not making any concept-art like that one. Really, I love it. Great idea of yours and great design by your friend.
