A reply, fashionably over an year later.

I wanted just to clarify her style and reasons for fighting (along making just some minor adjustments to her skills). She would be more of a humanoid spirit, something like Kalista without armor. Only after using E, she'd get some heavier bark armor and not just be a shiny incorporeal body, thus making that skill visually very reconizable.

Only thing she knows is how to make things grow and bloom, and after something bad happening to her forest she has to put her stuff on offense. That's why she's making trees and using them to hurt, she doesn't know anything else (not counting her weak ass will-o-wisps that are only a minor nuisance) and believes that it's better to sacrifice a few trees than the whole forest burning down.

Her fruits are just magical, a remnant of her former healing ways, and I guess she realized the fruit would be more beneficial that way and not make them poisonous. Maybe she was so potent of a healing spirit that by just squashing one under your foot you'd get healed.

And her ult is really specific visually. I actually didn't mean that she herself would be growing as a tree, but she buds a giant fast growing tree and jumps "in to it", like someone would jump in to a pool, swimming inside the solid tree with her incorporeal body and riding it to the top waiting for the perfect opportunity.
