Runeterra Crest icon Runeterra has no shortage of valiant champions, but few are as tenacious as Poppy Poppy. Bearing the legendary hammer of Orlon, a weapon twice her size, this determined yordle has spent untold years searching in secret for the fabled “Hero of Demacia,” said to be its rightful wielder. Until then, she dutifully charges into battle, pushing back the kingdom's enemies with every whirling strike.

Background[]

(TBA)

Appearance[]

Poppy is a yordle with light blue fur, and magenta colored eyes. Her hair is styled in two ash-blonde ponytails. Her outfit consists of a red scarf, various armor pieces, and Shieldy mounted on her back.

Personality[]

Poppy is a dutiful soldier, described as tenacious and determined, but is not always obedient, shown to question Orlon's orders when she disagrees in an inquisitive and almost childishly naive manner. Nonetheless, Poppy was one of the most devoted followers of Orlon's cause, and continues to abide by her mission even centuries after his death, making her true to her word. By Orlon's description, Poppy embodies the characteristics of the true "Hero of Demacia Crest icon Demacia", and though her humility prevents her from realizing this, her bravery has helped the kingdom numerous times, making her the one rightful wielder of Orlon's hammer.

Abilities[]

  • Yordle Physiology: Poppy is a Yordle, a being coming from the Spirit Realm and possesses several abilities natural of her species.
    • Immortality: Being spiritual beings, Yordles don't age the same way as normal humans, and they can't normally die.
    • Yordle Magic: Just like any Yordle, Poppy is capable of performing yordle magic, which she utilizes in tandem with her skills as a warrior.
  • Trained Warrior: Poppy was trained in the arts of combat and war for centuries, since Demacia was founded. She incredibly good with the hammer, which she wields without problem in combat

Relations[]

Orlon[]

Poppy's hammer hammer belonged to Demacia's founder and weaponsmith Orlon, who passed it on to her on his deathbed. She is searching for the 'Hero of Demacia' meant to wield the hammer (without realizing she is the one). When Orlon passed the hammer to Poppy, he did not specifically identify her as the Hero (or meant to, but died before he could), leading to Poppy's misunderstanding. Poppy and Kled Kled are notable for being Yordles responsible for helping in building the human civilizations they align themselves with (Demacia and Noxus, respectively).

Lulu Lulu & Tristana Tristana[]

Poppy knows about the existence of Lulu Lulu and Tristana Tristana, though it is uncertain what she thinks about them. Lulu states that Poppy and Tristana has "a little furrow just above her nose when she gets mad".

Vayne Vayne[]

During a Black Mist attack by Viego Viego on a Demacian city, Vayne Vayne and Poppy fought side by side against the undead army.

The Slayer

By John O'Bryan

Poppy had nothing against the briar wolf, aside from the fact that it was about to maul her. Its muzzle was stained crimson from a previous kill, and the yordle wouldn't chance being its next. She was hot on the trail of a renowned monster slayer, and she didn't intend to die before she found the man and judged his worth.

The Whispering Doodad

By Graham McNeill

“Here, doodad,” she whispers to the grass. “Pretty please, with sprinkles on top! I'll let you take us somewhere you want to go next.” The doodad—or whatever it's really called—doesn't respond, but I sense it rolling away from Lulu. Well, not really rolling, as such, more making itself be where she isn't.

  • Poppy's true age is unknown, but since the in-universe present year is at least 997 AN and Poppy's earliest known event is her arrival on Runeterra during the Rune Wars (13 BN - 3 BN), it can be safely concluded that she is at least 1000 years old.
  • The Hammer of Orlon is represented as the Hammer stone in Tellstones: King's Gambit.
    • The author of the rulebook is aware that Poppy is the true hero and that she does not know it.
