Let's list out what we have agreed upon for lore (or at least have offered each other the idea, and haven't had any rejection of such ideas):
 * Nine/Konoe's name is as of current unknown. However, one of her titles is "Nine."
 * Nine is capable of controlling the balance among the raw elements, something that is considered extremely difficult, if not outright impossible, as the forces of nature react violently in acting against their design.
 * She is still a talented mage in other arts, which includes but is not limited to summoning creatures, teleportation, putting up barriers, conditional telepathy, and more.
 * This is one of the reasons for being entitled "Nine."
 * Nine is older than she looks, in the same way as . However, unlike Camille who is still believable in terms of human years (past her 50s, but hasn't reached her 100s), Nine is much older, as it is unknown how far back she goes.
 * Nine's body is well endowed, but is also ravaged with twisted portions, such as her arms. This is due to an incident that occurred long time ago, likely granting her part-teasing, part-sympathetic attitude.

I'm sure there were more, but I didn't want to go too far and assuming. Otherwise, below are what I believe I haven't told you:
 * Nine, personality-wise, was a diligent and kind scholar who was an apprentice to a large organization that assembled potential talented mages together from all over Runeterra. In the same vein as Hogwarts of Harry Potter, this organization was a secret to those who didn't have such latent powers, only being a rumour. For those who did, they would receive a letter only they can read. Here, Nine was accepted from a currently unknown background, recognized immediately for her willingness to study the arts.
 * Over the course of her studies, she got along with other apprentices, all of them striving to become part of the "The Sages," mages recognized for mastering an art only they are capable of using. Eight Sages have existed before. Nine and her comrades strove to be the Ninth.
 * From here, events should occur to allow the following: Nine is close to bending the elements completely to her will; approached by an Evil spirit and a "Good" ; incident occurs that is about to destroy the organizaiton (related to Evil spirit and maybe one of the {[ci|Ryze|Ryze stone}}), to which Nine attempts to use her elemental powers to stop the catastrophe, but is unable; makes a contract with Ifrit, only to be cursed; Nine is the only survivor, and the organization is destroyed. Below is an example of what I've thought up of, though it's not set in stone.
 * One day, Nine found herself close to being able to control the art of combining the natural elements together. Yet, she wasn't able to complete this. She came across a peculiar grimoire that whispered to her, telling her to use it to allow her to attain this power. Yet, one more book talked back telling her not to. Nine followed the second books suggestion and continued to hone her skills on her own.

I feel I may be pulling Nine in the wrong direction, so let me know if this idea is solid on its own, or requires some work with. I know that at times, my writing can get sappy, or it suits my tastes but not the common liking. And if you wanted to know, the addition of Ifrit, and some changes to the kit, shouldn't be too large for now as the need to change parts of the story for the kit shouldn't be difficult. A bit of rewriting, and change of plot points, may be necessary, but better than starting from scratch.
