The original concept was a Victorian-esque half spider-woman with a female torso. We realized that this wasn't something we wanted to go with, but we wanted to keep a lot of the elegance and grace, with the frightening spider as a hidden treat.

The silhouette has to be recognizable and not too messy. You have to be able to quickly recognize Elise on the battlefield. She's one of the most visually interesting characters we've developed and it would've been a shame having her too busy and too messy that you've never get to appreciate her. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=30421067#post30421067 There, done. We have confirmation from Reds that Priscilla and Elise are one and the same so they get merged. Until we have the same kind of confirmation about Gavid and Zyra, they stay separated.
