Sejuani is the brutal, unforgiving Iceborn warmother of the 
Winter's Claw, one of the most feared tribes of the 
Freljord. Her people's survival is a constant, desperate battle against the elements, forcing them to raid 
Noxians, 
Demacians, and 
Avarosans alike to survive the harsh winters. Sejuani herself spearheads the most dangerous of these attacks from the saddle of her drüvask boar 
Bristle, using her True Ice flail to freeze and shatter her enemies.

Background[]
Early Life[]
Sejuani was born of a Freljord political marrige, daughter of the Warmother of the Winter's Claw, Kalkia. But her mother would quickly abandon the role of Warmother, instead pursuing another man she had her eyes on, leaving the tribe in chaos. Instead, Sejuani was raised by her Grandmother Heijan, a cold and uncaring mother figure who's expectations Sejuani could never seem to meet.
The Winter's Claw was left poor from the neglect of Kalkia, but during a visit to the Avarosan, Sejuani saw how well people could have it under a competent warmother. During her visit, Sejuani was taken in by the famous warrior and warmother, Grena, who Sejuani learned had once bested Kalkia in a duel, an act that earned Sejuani's adoration. It was also here she met with Grena's only daughter, 
Ashe, who became Sejuani's best and only friend. Though things quickly turned sour as Grena started to openly question Heijan's treatment of Sejuani, an act which infuriated Heijan. Heijan cut all ties with the Avarosan and started expanding into the surrounding tribes, which only further weakened the Winter's Claw.
Word reached Kalkia about the failiures of the Winter's Claw, which brought her return where she proclaimed herself Warmother again. Sejuani was enraged by her mother's return and started secretly plotting to overthrow her and become the new warmother.
During an expedition, Sejuani once more met with Ashe, who was starving and alone in 
Ursine lands after the 
Frostguard had destroyed the rest of the Avarosan. Sejuani took pitty on her old friend and brought her back to the Winter's Claw, an act which the new warmother and the Frostguard did not take kindly. Sejuani told Ashe about her plan to overthrow Kalkia and asked for Ashe's help, to which she agreed and they both swore and oath, making them Battlesisters. Though this friendship was short lived, for unbeknownst to Ashe; Sejuani's plan involved raiding and destroying the neighbouring tribe, the Ebrataal Tribe, to steal their supplies. Ashe did not approve of this raid and the two former battlesisters were now sworn enemies.
After Ashe's betrayal, Sejuani completed another raid agaisnt a Noxus Warship, hoping it would be enough to rally the tribes in support of Sejuani. During this raid, Sejuani freed Bristle from the ship's slaughterhouse, who would become her most royal steed. This raid proved enough, and Sejuani returned back to the Winter's Claw to challange her mother to a duel, an act which was extremely taboo. Sejuani won decisively, killing her mother in the process.
Sejuani was now the new warmother and did not waste a second, she immediately began raiding and absorbing nearby tribes while also throwing out the Frostguard. Sejuani had taken the Winter's Claw from the brink of collapse and ruin, and had turned it into the most feared and brutal tribe of the Freljord.

But the Cauldron had been stolen by the 
Volibear and is deep in Ursine territory. Sejuani decided to take a gamble, believing the old mans story, and is now on an expedition into Ursine lands to steal the Cauldron, joined by

Sejuani and Ashe were once childhood friends but were seperated when Ashe's mother offended Sejuani's grandmother, Heijan, over how she was raising Sejuani. Years later, Sejuani found Ashe starving in Ursine lands after the Frostguard annihilated the rest of her tribe. Sejuani and Ashe became battlesisters the next day, but had a falling out during a raid against the Ebrataal Tribe, a raid which Ashe did not approve of.
Sejuani now considers Ashe and her new tribe an enemy to the Winters Claw and a traitor to the Spirit of the Freljord. She views her peacekeeping and agricultural ways as a complete betrayl to Grena, Ashes mother who Sejuani respected, and to her legacy.
Bristle[]
Sejuani's loyal Drüvask steed who was freed from a Noxian warship during a raid by the Winters Claw and named by Sejuani after the texture of its hide. Even in the most tense of situations, grooming Bristle's hair always seems to calms Sejuani down.
Udyr[]
Udyr has been Sejuani's father figure in her actual father's absence. Even through his strange behavior, Sejuani has a deep rooted respect for him and his struggles, and will not tolerate any disrespect towards him. When Sejuani became warmother, Udyr acted as a trusted advisor for the new warmother.
Volibear and the Ursine[]
Sejuani has worked togheter with the Ursine in the past, performing an summoning ritual with the help of Udyr. Sejuani considered the Ursine kin of the Winter's Claw, matching eachothers with their savagery, though she still has a deep rooted fear for the Volibear and his corruption. Recently Sejuani has set off on a expedition into Ursine terratory to steal Ornn's Cauldron, originally stolen by the Ursine, in hope it would feed her people.
Lissandra and the Frostguard[]
Sejuani views the Frostguard in a very negative light, seeing them as nothing more than a slow poison, destroying the Freljord.
Olaf[]
Olaf once fought against the Winter's Claw, seeking a good death, which ultimately ended in Sejuani and Olaf battling eachother. It seemed Sejuani and Olaf were equally strong and as the battle neared a standstill, Sejuani offered Olaf to fight for the Winter's Claw where he would surely come across a good death, which he gladly accepted.
