Star Guardian is a series of parallel universe skins in League of Legends that follow the story of a group of high school students who choose to become cosmic protectors and must battle cosmic enemies threatening the universe. However, they consequently learn of the anguish and perils associated with their newfound roles as self-doubt, desperation and the daily life of a high school student.

In a vast and dark universe, young warriors are chosen by fate to protect the light of the stars. They are destined to burn bright, but collapse as furiously as they shine.

In a vast and dark universe, young warriors are chosen by fate to protect the light of the stars. They are destined to burn bright, but collapse as furiously as they shine.

Magically empowered by the First Star, high schooler Lux and her team of Star Guardians secretly protect the world from interstellar monsters. But who will protect them from the drama of Valoran City High?
Star Guardians
  • Star Guardian Janna Star Guardian Janna
    Soft-spoken and sometimes distant, Janna serves as mentor to her younger team and gently guides them towards a true understanding of their destiny. While she rarely offers information about her mysterious past, her poise and quiet strength are deeply admired by her Star Guardian teammates.
  • Star Guardian Jinx Star Guardian Jinx
    Chromaskins Chromas: Mythic
    Much to the annoyance of her team, Jinx is an impulsive and sometimes cynical Star Guardian who loves a good, glittery explosion. However, when the fighting starts, Jinx will throw herself into the battle to protect others, especially her childhood friend Lux.
    • LoR Champion Indicator4Star Guardian Jinx (LoR Champion Indicator4Level 2, LoR Spell Non-Slow Indicator3 Jinx's Get Excited!, LoR Spell Slow Indicator1 Super Mega Death Rocket!)
      Though fiercely loyal, Jinx was not blessed with the gift of patience. So when it came to breaking–er, repurposing the alien space station as a makeshift spaceship, she didn’t hesitate.
      “The coast is clear! All righty, you big ugly-face. Get a load of THIS!”
      “GIMME SOME OF THAT GALACTIC FIRE!” - Jinx
      “Hey, Kuro and Shiro! Let’s blast this baddie to the moon and back!” - Jinx
  • Star Guardian Lulu Star Guardian Lulu
    The youngest member of Lux's team, Lulu is an odd but gifted Star Guardian. Though her unique relationship with the Starlight is sometimes puzzling, Lulu can be counted on to support her team—and let them know that the light supports them, too.
    • Pajama Guardian Lulu Pajama Guardian Lulu
      Fuzzy onesies! Paper fortune tellers! Cuddly, incoming! Lulu's so ready for this slumber party. Even Pix is excited, and getting into the spirit of things. Star Guardians are destined to protect the universe—but that doesn't mean they can't have a little fun along the way!
    • LoR Champion Indicator3Star Guardian Lulu (LoR Champion Indicator3Level 2, LoR Spell Non-Slow Indicator1 Help, Pix!)
      “Pix, if this dashboard is shooting out little sparkles, does that mean it’s broken? …You have no idea? Me neither! …Oh well, at least they’re pretty!”
      “Woohoo! That’s what you get for being mean to that pretty girl, you bad monster!”
      “Wow, Pix! You’re so bright, it hurts my eyes!” - Lulu
  • Star Guardian Lux Star Guardian Lux
    Cheerful and courageous, Lux shines the brightest among her Star Guardian team. While young and inexperienced, the pink-haired captain's optimism inspires others in their destiny to protect the universe. She truly believes that as long as they fight together, there is no darkness they can't overcome.
    • Pajama Guardian Lux Pajama Guardian Lux
      As captain of her Star Guardian team, Lux knows the importance of a little R&R. As host of the party, though, she's still working on the relaxation part. It's hard to cut loose—especially when a certain handsome blond Guardian keeps flashing that charming grin!—but Lux's boundless optimism still lights up any room.
  • Star Guardian Poppy Star Guardian Poppy
    Fierce and no-nonsense, Poppy is often the first Star Guardian on the battle lines, ready to put her duty before everything else. With her trusty hammer, Poppy sees the universe as black and white: you're either here to smash anything that threatens the sanctity of the cosmos, or you're getting smashed.

Veteran Star Guardians Ahri and Miss Fortune suddenly reappear in Valoran City, having rebuilt their team after an unknown event destroyed their previous squad. Seeking to defy the destiny of every Star Guardian who takes up the oath, they join the fight alongside Lux and company as Void Beasts descend upon the city.
Star Guardians
  • Star Guardian Ahri Star Guardian Ahri
    Chromaskins Chromas: Ahri-versary
    Ahri is a charismatic team captain who leads her group of Star Guardians from the outer cosmos, with the authority of a queen bee and the sly cunning of a fox. She's effortlessly popular, with an irresistible charm that disarms friends and foes alike.
  • Star Guardian Ezreal Star Guardian Ezreal
    With a boundless curiosity about the universe, Ezreal is a born explorer, and becoming a Star Guardian only served to fuel his appetite for discovery. Though known to wander off, he always returns when most needed, especially now, as a certain pink-haired Guardian from another team has caught his attention…
    • Pajama Guardian Ezreal Pajama Guardian Ezreal
      The First Star has burdened Ezreal with a lot. The responsibility. The hefty weight of destiny. The sparkly outfit (he's used to it). “Attending a slumber party” was definitely not on the list of expected cosmic duties. Not that he minds, really… as long as they don't actually try to braid his hair.
  • Star Guardian Miss Fortune Star Guardian Miss Fortune
    Second in command to Ahri, Miss Fortune is a hot-headed Star Guardian gunslinger from the galactic rim. She is the first to charge into battle with her twin pistols, often ignoring her own safety as long as she can take down every enemy in sight.
    • Pajama Guardian Miss Fortune Pajama Guardian Miss Fortune
      Sarah Fortune does not usually attend slumber parties. Nor wear fluffy pajamas. Nor play Truth or Dare. But Lulu insisted, and Lux asked so nicely, so somehow Sarah found herself doing all three. At least her pajamas came with holsters—juuust in case some cosmic enemies show up. You never know. It could happen.
  • Star Guardian Soraka Star Guardian Soraka
    A gentle soul with a mysterious origin among the stars, Soraka protects her team from behind the frontlines. Despite her shy appearance, she carries immense healing power and an unprecedented command of the Starlight, more than any other Star Guardian her team has encountered.
    • Pajama Guardian Soraka Pajama Guardian Soraka
      The other girls (and Ezreal) seemed excited for the pillow fights, and staying up all night talking. Soraka was most excited for the cinnamon rolls she brought from Pantheon's Pastries. But nothing makes her happier than seeing her friends smiling and laughing.
    • Prestige Star Guardian Soraka Prestige Star Guardian Soraka
      Leaving the planet behind with Xayah and the other Star Guardians, Soraka's full powers have been unlocked by her undying love for her friends—in the hopes that one day they will find their companion lost in the final battle with the Twilight Star, and be a family once again.
    • LoR Champion Indicator3Star Guardian Soraka (LoR Champion Indicator3Level 2)
      “Ooh, who’s that girl with the pretty hair, Soraka?”
      “I don’t know, Lulu, but she needs help. That kaijuu has her completely trapped in stasis. I wonder how long she’s been stuck here, all alone in outer space...”
      “We have to save her! We’re Star Guardians, after all!”
      “You won’t be imprisoned for much longer, dear one. May the hope of starlight set you free.”
  • Star Guardian Syndra Star Guardian Syndra
    Chromaskins Chromas: Brilliant, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
    Feared and admired, Syndra is a formidable Star Guardian from an earlier era, whose history is cloaked in shadow. She acts as an advisor on Ahri's team, but despite her captain's trust, some members suspect there is no price that Syndra won't pay to achieve her personal ambitions.
    • Prestige Star Guardian Syndra Prestige Star Guardian Syndra
      A vision in silk and shadow, Syndra doesn't need hordes of adoring fans (though she has them) nor hundreds of eager ateliers desperate to design for her (though she has those, too), because she is always at the center of her own orbit. Her secret? Starlight never goes out of style.

Ahri's old squad resurfaces, changed from the events that once tore them apart... and followed by a threat beyond anything the Star Guardians have ever faced. Can the group move past old grudges and save themselves from annihilation? Or will they simply be the next victims of the Twilight Star?
Fallen Guardians
  • Star Guardian Rakan Star Guardian Rakan
    Chromaskins Chromas: Aquamarine, Rose Quartz, Ruby
    Many years ago, Rakan was destroyed in the fight against Zoe, alongside his lover Xayah. The pair were then resurrected and turned against their allies -- a fact Rakan seems keenly aware of. Biding his time to strike, he has a plan to purify the darkness from Xayah's heart... though the price may be losing himself to evil forever.
  • Star Guardian Xayah Star Guardian Xayah
    Chromaskins Chromas: Aquamarine, Ruby, Turquoise
    Many years ago, Xayah was destroyed in the fight against Zoe, alongside her lover Rakan. The pair were then resurrected and turned against their allies -- a change Xayah seems almost happy about. Blaming the Star Guardians for abandoning her to die, she has taken a bitter, personal stand against them, even as doubts begin to creep in...
  • Star Guardian Zoe Star Guardian Zoe
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Emerald, Jasper, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby
    A member of the ancient, first group of Star Guardians, Zoe's heart desired not love, but chaos -- twisting her newfound power into a malignant expression of cosmic madness. After numberless eons of hunting the First Star's chosen, she has finally come to Valoran City, hoping to destroy the latest generation of Guardians as she has countless others.
Star Guardians
  • Star Guardian Neeko Star Guardian Neeko
    A member of Ahri's original team of Star Guardians, Neeko watched her teammates fall against Zoe's dark powers, going into hiding when she, too, was thought dead. Revealing herself to the newly assembled Star Guardians at the eve of their greatest battle, the wide-eyed adventurer has vowed that this time, she won't run.
    • Prestige Star Guardian Neeko Prestige Star Guardian Neeko
      Neeko and the Star Guardians emerge from their battle forever changed, friendships reforged in the face of stunning victory and brutal loss. They will save their lost companion—perhaps not now, but one day—and they will do it together.

Ancient enemies appear in a Valoran City scarred by Zoe's invasion, now defended by a new generation of Star Guardians. As darkness gathers in the skies above, Kai'Sa and Akali prepare their untested squad for a fight with forces beyond their comprehension... and the true threat that awaits beyond.
Star Guardians
  • Star Guardian Akali Star Guardian Akali
    Chromaskins Chromas: Brilliant, Catseye, Emerald, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Turquoise
    On-again off-again co-captain of a new generation of Star Guardians, Akali's skill in battle is shadowed by her growing realization that the Oath she swore has condemned her to die. Though she fights for the light with all her heart, she finds that darkness is just as powerful... perhaps, even more so...
  • Star Guardian Ekko Star Guardian Ekko
    Chromaskins Chromas: Brilliant, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Turquoise
    Given time-shifting powers by the First Star, Ekko approaches life with a relaxed and casual demeanor. Why care if you get infinite do-overs? But when it comes to facing monsters alongside the Star Guardians, he's deadly serious, using his command over time and space to keep Valoran City safe from the darkness.
    • Prestige Star Guardian Ekko Prestige Star Guardian Ekko
      Ekko doesn't need magical powers to look like a star. He rocks an effortless streetwear style wherever he goes, turning heads and paparazzi lenses alike. Appreciating the look? Take it all in. He's got time.
  • 06SI012T1 StarGuardian-Circle Star Guardian Gwen
    • LoR Champion Indicator4Star Guardian Gwen (LoR Champion Indicator4Level 2, LoR Spell Non-Slow Indicator2 Gwen's Thread the Needle, Keyword Skill Snip Snip!, Keyword Skill Snip Snip Snip!)
      “This isn’t just a beautiful dream? I’m really free? Oh, whoever you are, I can’t thank you enough!”
      It was so much to take in, all at once. Who were these bright-eyed newcomers? What of Zoe, and the rest of her old teammates? But all that could wait. Now that she was finally free, Gwen was determined to show this kaijuu what Star Guardians were truly capable of.
      “A single thread of hope makes the world brighter!” - Gwen
      "Cut through the despair!” - Gwen
      "Cut through the despair!” - Gwen
  • Star Guardian Kai'Sa Star Guardian Kai'Sa
    Chromaskins Chromas: Aquamarine, Brilliant, Catseye, Emerald, Ruby, Tanzanite
    A born leader with a head for tactics, Kai'Sa takes her job as captain extremely seriously... perhaps too much for her own good. Still, her squad respects her command and will follow her into even the most dangerous missions, where she'll snipe priority targets and spray the rest with payloads of starlight-powered missiles.
    • LoR Champion Indicator5Star Guardian Kai'Sa (LoR Champion Indicator5Level 2, LoR Spell Non-Slow Indicator4 Kai'Sa's Supercharge, LoR Spell Slow Indicator0 Second Skin, Keyword Skill Icathian Rain)
      “Yes, I see it too, Ina. Looks like the monster’s headed towards the city center. Good thing I know just the Star Guardians to call...”
      “We can do this, everyone! Remember, it is our duty to keep Valoran City safe, no matter the cost.”
      “Onward, Star Guardians!” - Kai’Sa
      “I will become their guiding light.” - Kai’Sa
      “Withstand the darkness!” - Kai’Sa
  • Star Guardian Nilah Star Guardian Nilah
    Chromaskins Chromas: Brilliant, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
    A powerful Outer Guardian who patrols the wider universe, Nilah has faced multiple reality-ending threats and returned alive... making her a living legend among her peers. Asked to act as teacher to the new generation, she has reluctantly accepted her new responsibilities... though if a particularly big monster appears in VC, she always calls dibs.
  • Star Guardian Orianna Star Guardian Orianna
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire
    When this robot girl wished upon the First Star, it granted her deepest desire: to become human. With that gift came all the responsibilities of a Star Guardian. Orianna analyzed the risks. Her chances of falling are… 1.3%. Of successfully blending in with high schoolers? The odds aren't looking great.
  • Star Guardian Quinn Star Guardian Quinn
    Chromaskins Chromas: Brilliant, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
    Hailing from a sister city along with Rell, Quinn and her familiar Valor are known back home as a dynamic monster-fighting duo... mask and all. Valoran City represents a big step up from what they're used to, but the two are ready to fight the darkness as only they know how.
    • LoR Champion Indicator5Star Guardian Quinn (LoR Champion Indicator5Level 2, LoR Non-Champion Non-Spell Indicator2 Valor)
      Valor may be a magical Star Guardian familiar, but to Quinn’s dismay, he isn't above fighting the park pigeons for a few extra crumbs.
      “This monster may be big, Valor, but that can’t stop us! Let’s blind it with the brilliance of starlight!”
      “Show them how we shine, Valor!” - Quinn
  • Redeemed Star Guardian Rakan Redeemed Star Guardian Rakan
    The darkness never suited Rakan—the First Star's light complements the glossy shine of his hair more than any chaos magic could. Plus, making evil plans is not really his style. A guardian once more, Rakan can now enjoy a welcome respite and perhaps a dance or two with Xayah.
  • Star Guardian Rell Star Guardian Rell
    Chromaskins Chromas: Brilliant, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
    Hailing from a sister city along with Quinn, Rell is a delinquent loner who does what she wants, when she wants, and avoids making friends by pushing everyone away. In battle she rides atop her mighty steed Sebastien, her simmering rage transforming her into a starlit knight who defends the meek from harm.
  • Star Guardian Senna Star Guardian Senna
    Chromaskins Chromas: Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rainbow, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
    Years spent battling the darkness alone has strengthened Senna's resolve, but it also hardened her heart. After all, when you're a Star Guardian, you know losing loved ones is inevitable. Still, she'll keep fighting now, harder than ever. Reuniting her new friend Xayah with her evil ex-boyfriend is a powerful motivator.
    • LoR Champion Indicator5Star Guardian Senna (LoR Champion Indicator5Level 2)
      Whether she's out battling monsters or beating her old high score at the arcade, Senna aims to win.
      “Sure you want to stand that close, monster? I’ll have you know… I’m a pretty good shot.”
  • Star Guardian Seraphine Star Guardian Seraphine
    Chromaskins Chromas: Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rainbow, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
    Seraphine has toured the entire galaxy as a solo act, but now it's time for a Star Guardian collab. She's ecstatic to team up with a new group of heroes, and she isn't afraid to share that enthusiasm. They're fighting for true love… what could be more romantic than that?!
  • Star Guardian Sona Star Guardian Sona
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Brilliant, Catseye, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Tanzanite
    Quiet and reflective, Sona spends her time away from the Guardians as a composer of music... and her time with them as a fighter of incredible power, blasting enemies away with sonically charged starlight. Though she cannot speak, she always makes her voice heard through deeds... or her chatterbox familiar-slash-interpreter, Chiizu.
  • Star Guardian Taliyah Star Guardian Taliyah
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Brilliant, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
    A rowdy, boisterous fighter by night and a somewhat reserved first year student by day, Taliyah's missions with the Star Guardians are a chance for her to discover the kind of person she wants to become. Surfing across the city on a giant wave of starlight, she's okay with taking her time.
    • LoR Champion Indicator5Star Guardian Taliyah (LoR Champion Indicator5Level 2, Keyword Skill Threaded Volley)
      “Ah, Taliyah! Another soup refill for you, then?”
      “Mmhmm! Thanks, Noodle Bill. Your ramen’s the best in Valoran City!”
      “Hey, monster! I’ve got a bowl of ramen waiting for me, so let’s make this quick!”
      “Soar with the stars!” - Taliyah
  • Redeemed Star Guardian Xayah Redeemed Star Guardian Xayah
    Being bad was fun while it lasted. But all things must end. Through the power of devotion—and the First Star—Rakan sacrificed himself to save Xayah. Now a guardian once more, Xayah searches the night skies for her love, hoping to return the favor without falling into chaos herself.
Star Nemesis
  • Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks
    Chromaskins Chromas: Citrine, Obsidian, Peridot, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sandstone, Sapphire, Turquoise, Wicked
    The creature known as Fiddlesticks has fed on Star Guardians across every era, hunting those on the verge of falling before finally consuming their light. Its connection to the Guardians, and the reason it is drawn to them, is not well understood... but the familiar seemingly trapped within it suggests a truly disturbing origin.
  • Star Nemesis Morgana Star Nemesis Morgana
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Emerald, Peridot, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise, Wicked
    A villainess of mysterious origins, Morgana believes that concepts like justice and order are holding the universe back... and she's willing to do anything to return it to a state of entropy. Targeting the Star Guardians for destruction, she torments them relentlessly before dealing the final, crushing blow.

Kai'sa StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Kai'sa

"The Guardians have always helped people. I won't let them down."

A natural born leader and defender of the weak, Kai’Sa idolizes the Star Guardians as well as all that they stand for. Though she might be trying a bit too hard (perhaps to the point of ignoring some of her friendships), her heart burns with the desire to help others, and she'd do anything protect the world from darkness.

Meet her Magical Medium - Ina
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Ina
A born leader, Ina is always ready to heed the call. With a hop and a bounce, it’ll leap into position, accompanying Kai’Sa even into the most dangerous of battles. If Ina finds time in its busy schedule to relax, it loves to sip on boba… but then it’s right back to training and helping Kai’Sa with school work. Ina’s one busy bunny.

Akali StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Akali

"Star Guardians burn bright, then burn out. Doesn't anyone care?"

A street-smart, gregarious city girl with an upbeat attitude, Akali's life is turned upside-down by the appearance of the Star Guardians... and the destruction that follows them. Taking the oath alongside her best friend Kai'Sa, she stands against the enemies of the First Star with finely honed reflexes and an array of powerful Guardian weapons. Can friendship drown out the doubt in her heart, or will Akali be the first of the new generation to fall?

Meet her Magical Medium - Umi
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Umi
Akali always leaves a few noodles at the bottom of the bowl for Umi, even though it pains her to not slurp it clean herself. But that’s what friends are for, right? The two practically live at Noodle Bill’s. If he starts making breakfast ramen, you can bet they’ll be there bright and early, chopsticks at the ready.

Ekko StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Ekko

"I've done the calculations, and I'm not leaving anything to chance."

A gearhead with a knack for complex engineering, Ekko has gained the power to turn back time... though not quite enough for his liking. Headstrong, loyal, and confident in his power, testing his temporal abilities on the enemies of the First Star is just one step towards building the perfect time machine, one that can send Ekko far enough in the past to save something dear to his heart.

Meet his Magical Medium - Waku
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Waku
Though it may be calculating, Waku certainly isn’t cold. After all, Ekko fabricated his companion with the express purpose of being able to manipulate temporal phenomena, but he didn’t forget to give it a mechanical heart. When thrown, Waku converts into a weapon capable of slowing enemies. Just please don’t hit it with a bat—that really hurts!

Sona StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Sona

"Our melodies will lead the way to victory! W-what!? I'm just saying what you said!" - Chiizu

Born mute, Sona is a kind, reflective soul who prefers to spend her time in quiet solitude. While she has trouble dealing with crowds and dislikes being out in public when not in her Guardian uniform, she is learning to find her own song in a sea of voices. With her supremely powerful music at her disposal, each self-discovery an operatic movement that will drown out the dark.

Meet her Magical Medium - Chiizu
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Chiizu
Sona may be quiet as a mouse—Chiizu is anything but. This talkative critter is known to stretch the truth when it acts as an interpreter for its companion, yet it always has her best interests at heart. Quick tip: if startled it can be calmed down if fed just a crumb of anmitsu.

Taliyah StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Taliyah

"Star Laser Mega Buster! Chu chu! Huge explosion!"

Unsure of who she is or who she wants to be, Taliyah was at a crossroads long before she took the Star Guardian oath... and now must balance her personal journey with fighting city-destroying monsters. Mousy at school, but brazen and loud in her Guardian uniform, she's learning a lot about herself... and how not to wipe out when surfing across the skyline on a giant wave of starlight.

Meet her Magical Medium - Aru
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Aru
Aru is still figuring things out, but its enthusiasm overshadows any overt awkwardness. It just wants to be everyone’s friend! Sure, Aru is huggable, but it's also surprisingly athletic. Star-surfing alongside Taliyah is a favorite pastime, kicking up dust and ‘bahhing’ loud for all to hear.

Quinn StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Quinn

"Not all Star Guardians wear capes. But... I do. I wear a cape."

A Star Guardian duo from another city, Quinn and her familiar Valor are inseparable companions. And a good thing, too, since they carry the hopes and dreams of their hometown along with them. A calculating recon specialist with a knack for guerilla strikes, she brings a new breed of tactics to the fight to save the city... though she might need some time to warm up to all her new, highly enthusiastic squadmates.

Meet her Magical Medium - Valor
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Valor
Though it’s far from the nest it once called home, Valor remains a vigilant protector of this strange new city. Perched on Quinn’s shoulder, it shares her point of view—and her nostalgia for the days of their youth. Of course, there’s plenty to see (and scout) in Valoran City. But the skies seem just a little bit more gray.

Rell StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Rell

"Maybe this ‘having friends’ thing isn’t so bad after all. Maybe."

The scion of a well-connected political family, every aspect of Rell’s life was ruthlessly picked apart by her parents – leaving her alienated and unable to make friends. Her chaotic rebellion against them, and the school they oversaw, succeeded in winning her independence… along with an unjust reputation as a troublemaker, and a one way ticket to VC High. To protect her lonely heart, she’s learned to push everyone away… yet beneath her unbreakable shell dwells a brilliant, loyal Star Guardian whose only wish is to turn back the dark.

Meet her Magical Medium - Sebastien
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Sebastien

As wild as the girl that tamed him, Sebastien rides into the fray at Rell’s side, a fun-size representation of her rule-breaking attitude. If the fight calls for it, Sebastien transforms into a steed capable of carrying Rell on its back. Sometimes, Rell catches it trying to fit in spaces much too small for its battle-form—it will always be a miniature horse at heart.

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Rell

"Talk to me again and I'll punch you into the sun."

Hailing from a sister city along with Quinn, Rell is thriving in the big VC... much to the chagrin of her homeroom instructors. Known for vandalizing school property and beating bullies to a pulp in the halls, she's not easy to get along with and prefers to work alone, especially when riding her mighty steed Sebastien. Yet rumors swirl of a unapologetic manga fan with distinctive hair and a violent temper... though nobody's brave enough to ask about a possible connection.

Nilah StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Nilah

"A giant monster is on the loose? Perfect!"

A ceaselessly joyful Star Guardian famed throughout the cosmos for destroying planet-sized foes, Nilah has given up her jurisdiction over the great expanse of the universe to help out in the fight against Morgana. Bound by her promise to Lux to train and oversee these new, fresh-faced heroes, she relays tales of great victories and legendary opponents to the bright-eyed forces of good... as well as the truth of their oaths, and how to thrive when faced against impossible odds.

Meet her Magical Medium - Dahlia
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Dahlia
Dahlia’s bark is definitely worse than its bite—its tongue gets in the way of any damage those canines could do. Nevertheless, when Nilah’s companion transforms into her mystical blade, it cuts deep. Fighting monsters brings it unparalleled joy, but then again so does everything. Will its tail ever stop wagging?

Xayah StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Xayah

"Sure, the Star Guardians are a bunch of dorks. But they're my dorks."

Abandoned by her captain and teammates, Xayah spent years in darkness. She sought revenge—yet deep down, she only wanted an explanation, an answer as to why Ahri left Rakan and her to die. Xayah pursued her former friends across the galaxy until, during the Battle of the Twilight Star, Rakan sacrificed his own light to purge the darkness in Xayah's soul. Now a Star Guardian once more, Xayah searches the night skies for her love. She hopes to return the favor and bring him back to the light, but to do so, she must battle the darkness that still rages inside. Xayah's love is her guiding force—though she'd never admit to something so horribly sentimental.

Meet her Magical Medium - Saki
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Saki
Sentimentality was never Xayah’s strong suit. She prefers to speak with actions rather than words. If Saki could speak—in a language understood by anyone other than the Star Guardians—it would probably call most of the Star Nerds “a bunch of misty-eyed babies” before flying up to Xayah’s shoulder for a wing-bump. A great diss deserves a celebration.

Rakan StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Rakan

"I tried being good, but evil just brings out the sparkle in my eyes."

Even after falling and becoming host to Zoe's corruption, Rakan's love for Xayah persisted. Across the universe, he joined her in her quest for vengeance, all the while formulating a plan to purify her heart. Doing so cost him his own sanity, and he fell deeper into a swirling dimension of chaos and destruction. Desperate and heart-broken, Xayah longs to bring Rakan back to the light. Rakan has other plans. Namely: finding a good hair-stylist and practicing his evil villain monologues. Burns this good can't be improvised.

Meet his Magical Medium - Riku
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Riku
Whenever Rakan needs to primp his hair before battle, he can trust Riku to hold the mirror in its talons. Of course, that’s only if this arrogant ally stops long enough to tear its eyes from its own reflection. When your feathered friend looks that good, who can blame it?

Senna StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Senna

"I'm not scared of a little chaos. Heh, I'm not scared of anything."

Years spent battling the darkness alone has emboldened Senna’s resolve, but it also hardened her emotions. After all, when you’re a Star Guardian, you know losing loved ones is inevitable. Senna's resilient demeanor hides a more sensitive side: she enjoys a good romantic manga as much as fighting any old interdimensional threat. She alone has the strength to carry a massive gun—and provide much-needed tough love if the situation calls for it. Just don't expect a heart-to-heart.

Meet her Magical Medium - Giru
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Giru
Senna always says that she’s a team of one, but that’s doing Giru a disservice. When there’s blood in the water, it dives right in, eager to get a piece of the action. Now that they are teaming up, this lone shark might need some time to get used to the new pack. It’s not fond of sharing its food, so keep your paws away from its mango sticky rice!

Orianna StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Orianna

"Being a Star Guardian is 50% battling, 45% school, 5% mandatory team bonding, and 100% incredible. That is 200%!"

When this robot girl wished upon the First Star, it granted her deepest desire: to become human. With that gift came all the responsibilities of a Star Guardian, responsibilities that Orianna took eagerly. Orianna excitedly absorbs any new bit of information she finds, from the whole of history to the taste of every sugary candy. Her favorite discovery: dance. Her attempts to emulate the hypnotic ways in which the body follows the beat of a song improve each day.

Meet her Magical Medium - Tocker
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Tocker
Calculating… Tocker is a delightful and curious creature with an extraordinary ability for analytics. Though constructed of metal, it was given life by the same wish that made Orianna human. Tocker’s wish is to choreograph a graceful dance among the stars… and have the confidence to pull it off.

Seraphine StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Seraphine

"I think this calls for a... GROUP HUG!"

A pop sensation across the galaxy, Seraphine can't wait to team up with the Star Guardians for a brand new collab. Her glittering personality may occasionally get on the nerves of the group's more... jaded members, but for the most part, even they can't resist the harmonies that Seraphine sings. When she's not defending the universe, she's likely dragging her friends to a weeknight karaoke, hoping that the selection of songs includes her own.

Meet her Magical Mediums - Treble & Bass
Star Guardian 2022 Promo TrebleBass
Fans may recognize Treble and Bass as the dynamic duo that provides the beats to Seraphine’s popstar ballads. They also make a great team in combat: when Treble goes high… Bass goes low. Fighting a roaring chaos monster can be fun, but they’re more partial to the roar of a crowd. And just look at those dance moves!

Gwen StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Gwen

"A lot has changed sinced I've been gone. I can't wait to see it all!"

Thousands of years ago, Gwen was one of the first Star Guardians to exist… until her teammate Harp turned into a monster, and Zoe went violently insane from grief and rage. Destroyed and transformed into an unliving doll, Gwen has missed out on multiple millenia's worth of experiences and has no idea what has become of the Guardians.

Meet her Magical Medium - Tai
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Tai
Tai can almost always be found sleeping, nestled up in its fleece like a warm blanket. Gwen once tried to snip at Tai’s coat with her scissors, and she won’t make that mistake again. Fiercely protective and inquisitive (when awake), Tai would like nothing more than to find out what happened all those years they slept… before going right back to bed again.

Fiddlesticks StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Fiddlesticks

???

A terrifying, violent monster that appears with Morgana seemingly from nowhere. Despite the apparently villainous team-up, Fiddlesticks acts of its own accord, largely ignoring Morgana as it sows chaos and destruction wherever it goes—though it takes a peculiar, almost obsessive interest in the Star Guardians, particularly Akali. Fiddlestick’s power is so great that the area directly around it turns macabre and chessboard-like, as though the world is shifting to match it. And every day, the creature grows stronger.

Meet its Magical Medium - Geist
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Geist 01
Long ago, Geist may have enjoyed the life of other familiars, joining its guardian in combat and in camaraderie. Now, it resides in a cacophony of chaos, trapped inside Fiddlesticks, a final remnant of the soul of a Star Guardian that once was.

Morgana StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Morgana

"These children fail to comprehend the bigger picture. Perhaps it's time they learned..."

A mysterious villainess who claims to be an envoy from dark space, Morgana sends monsters rampaging through Valoran City in an attempt to force Akali to fall, fragmenting the Star Guardians and allowing her to destroy them one by one. Convinced that justice and goodness are immutable, single-minded ideas that don’t properly respect the darkness of the universe, she seeks to snuff them out entirely... along with anyone who gets in her way.

Meet her Magical Medium - Rigel
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Rigel
Swooping in from the starless sky, Rigel helps Morgana haunt the dreams of Star Guardians. Nothing brings the winged wretch more glee than sealing a Guardian’s fate in darkness. Though batting around their hapless familiars in battle certainly comes in a close second.

Zoe StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Zoe

"Let's play a new game, hee hee! It's called KILL THE STAR GUARDIANS!"

A member of the ancient, first group of Star Guardians, Zoe’s heart desired not love, but chaos - twisting her newfound power into a malignant expression of cosmic madness. After numberless eons of hunting the First Star’s chosen, she has finally come to Valoran City, hoping to destroy the latest generation of Guardians as she has countless others.

Meet her Magical Medium - Ran
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Ran
Appearances can be deceiving. Zoe’s child-like air disguises a chaotic and destructive evil. Ran, similarly, could be confused for a colorful plushie brought to life. With a sparkling glimmer in its eye and a devious smile, it dreams of wreaking havoc across the galaxy.

Neeko StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Neeko

"Neeko will throw her own slumber party. First on the guest list: Neeko!"

A member of Ahri’s original team of Star Guardians, Neeko watched her teammates fall against Zoe’s dark powers, going into hiding when she, too, was thought dead. Revealing herself to the newly assembled Star Guardians at the eve of their greatest battle, the wide-eyed adventurer has vowed that this time, she won’t run.

Meet her Magical Medium - Towa
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Towa
Towa may be slippery, but that won’t stop Neeko from trying to squeeze it as tight as she can. Towa doesn’t mind, though it covets a simple life of hopping around catching flies to the more adventurous work of Star Guardian-ing. If only Neeko could disguise herself as someone with less responsibility.

Harp StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2022 Promo Harp

"Let's always be friends, Zoe. Always."

A member of the very first group of Star Guardians, alongside Gwen, Syndra, and Harp's best friend Zoe. A brilliant battlefield tactician who was fascinated by logic puzzles, she helped the Guardians win out over darkness again and again... but the cost was great, as the atrocities Harp witnessed over the decades eroded her light, causing her eventual fall. Almost nothing of her original self remained, only raw negative emotion in the form of Fiddlesticks.

Meet her Magical Medium - Geist
Star Guardian 2022 Promo Geist 02
Contemplative and calculating, Geist loved chess, checkers, puzzles, and games... especially beating other familiars at them. Its gamesmanship was in another class altogether, though it could be a real stickler for the rules whenever Harp pursued her more complex plans. When she fell, Geist was imprisoned within Fiddlesticks... though now, maybe it's still out there, a last vestige of the Guardian who was.

Ahri StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2017 Promo Ahri

"It's time we decide our own destiny."

Ahri is a charismatic captain who leads a team of both new and veteran Star Guardians, from the outer edges of the cosmos. Having experienced the pain of losing teammates in the line of duty, she is viciously protective of her “family,” and a strong desire burns within her to ensure no one she cares for ever fades away again. These events have also shaped how she approaches other teams and their captains, especially the less experienced ones like Lux. There's no more room for patience and understanding in her universe—tough love is all that's left. Though that be the case, none are immune to Ahri's own unique charms.

Meet her Magical Medium - Kiko
Star Guardian 2017 Promo Kiko
The mischievous Kiko accompanies Ahri as a vulpine embodiment of her charisma... and sass. Even unprompted, Kiko isn't shy about saying how it really feels, though only Ahri can understand its unique language. As biting as the creature's manners can sometimes be, it's not too proud to turn down a good belly rub and cuddle. Just try to refrain from saying, “Aww.”

Miss Fortune StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2017 Promo Miss Fortune

"Revenge is a dish best served by Starlight."

A member of Ahri's original team, Miss Fortune is a hot-headed gunslinger, renowned across the galaxy as a monster slayer. Angry at losing comrades, the second-in-command now fights in their memory—not out of a sense of duty, but for vengeance. Even with new members joining the team, she can't forget her past. She is always the first to charge into battle, often ignoring her own safety as long as she can take down every beast in sight. Her short temper often leads to butting heads with teammates who she sees as wasting time when they could be laying waste to the enemy. Despite being scornful of others, the only member of the team Miss Fortune truly holds at a distance is Syndra, who she suspects has less noble reasons for her return.

Meet her Magical Mediums - Boki & Baki
Star Guardian 2017 Promo Boki & Baki
Boki and Baki are twins born of Sarah Fortune's desire for vengeance, but it's hard to tell by their playful, best-friends-forever demeanor. Where Miss Fortune charges forward with a burning rage, this duo allies with her from a more easygoing perspective. It's no fun watching the bad guys burn if you can't butt-bump about it!

Soraka StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2017 Promo Soraka

"The Light calls, and I will answer."

A gentle soul with a mysterious origin among the stars, Soraka protects the team on their perilous missions from behind the frontlines. Despite her fragile appearance, the second-year carries immense healing power, unparalleled by any other Guardian the team has encountered. Her unprecedented command of the Starlight and willingness to put everyone else's needs ahead of hers has earned the team's trust and respect—the ever-humble warrior, Soraka only shyly accepts her responsibility. Like Lulu, she has a special connection to the stars, though she and her team do not fully understand it yet.

Meet her Magical Medium - Shisa
Star Guardian 2017 Promo Shisa
Grumpy and overprotective, Shisa guards Soraka from anything that could threaten her safety, including her own naiveté. The tenacious creature is often frustrated by Soraka's trusting nature, and will throw itself into a fit or sulk for a good while afterwards–although red bean ice cream has been known to cut its tantrum time down by half.

Syndra StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2017 Promo Syndra

"The difference between me and you? I know what I'm doing."

Feared and admired, Syndra is a formidable Star Guardian from an earlier era. Like Janna, her history is cloaked in shadow, but it's clear as day that she is an ambitious warrior who is quick to dismiss those she deems unworthy of her time. Currently, she acts as an advisor on Ahri's team, guiding them away from unforeseen dangers and toward a promising future. Despite Ahri's trust in her, some members have questioned the veteran's true motives and suspect there is no price that Syndra won't pay to achieve her personal goals.


Meet her Magical Mediums - Multi
Star Guardian 2017 Promo Multi
A triple-manifestation of Syndra's incredible power, Multi represent an array of emotions. These impish orbs make various squeaks, chuckles, and snickers while carrying out the veteran Guardian's will. They never stray too far from her side; she is the center of their little universe, and the only one who can juggle their energy.

Ezreal StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian 2017 Promo Ezreal

"Did someone call for a dashing young hero?"

Before he was awakened by the First Star, Ezreal was a born explorer with boundless curiosity for the world around him, and becoming a Star Guardian only served to further fuel his appetite for discovery. Now, the universe is his uncharted map, the stars his destinations. As a newcomer to the team, his energy can be both refreshing and annoying to his teammates. The burdens of being a Star Guardian are lost on him—he'd rather focus his energy on solving the exciting mysteries of the galaxy. During the team's travels, he has been known to wander off without notice, but always returning when he is most needed. For the time being, though, a certain pink-haired Guardian from another team has caught his attention...

Meet his Magical Medium - Yuuto
Star Guardian 2017 Promo Yuuto
Yuuto is a mirror of Ezreal's youthful wanderlust, though it prefers to witness their travels from inside the explorer's gauntlet. But when out in the open, the feline freely roams the skies, serving as a valuable scout. It can also fuse with Ezreal to grant him angelic wings and the power of flight, which often leaves an impression on the ladies.

Lux StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian Promo Lux

"We've got this, as long as we stick together!"

Cheerful, courageous, and just a bit clumsy, Lux shines the brightest among her Star Guardian team as its captain. While young and inexperienced compared to teammates like Janna, the pink-haired teen's optimism inspires others in the face of an unkind—but in her eyes, noble—destiny. Protecting the universe is a responsibility that Lux is committed to, even if she doesn't fully realize the gravity of it just yet. There are many challenges ahead on her journey to becoming a strong leader worthy of the First Star's call. For now, Lux truly believes that as long as they fight together, there is no darkness they can't overcome.

Meet her magical Medium - Radiant Staff
Star Guardian Promo Radiant Staff

While some Guardians' unique power manifests in a magical creature, others hone their innate powers into weapons. Lux's selfless nature and purity of purpose are channeled into an ever-glowing staff blessed by the Starlight. With enough coaxing from Lux, it can also draw out a sweet, long-eared companion named Pajama Guardian Lux profileicon Mimi.

Star Guardian Promo Lux icon

Jinx StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian Promo Jinx

"Starlight, schmarlight. Just point me toward stuff to blow up!"

There are Star Guardians who solemnly and respectfully hold to their duty to defend the cosmos... and then there is Jinx. When the First Star imbued her with the power of Starlight, the cynical teen rebelled, refusing to treat her powers as anything more than a plaything to serve her own interests. Even now, this selfishness causes her to repeatedly clash with her teammates, who can't understand why such an explosive soul was chosen to serve the order. While Jinx scoffs at protecting a world she doesn't trust, she does believe in her childhood friend Lux—and if someone could see into the depths of Jinx's heart, they'd see a furious, burning need to keep those she holds dear out of harm's way, at any cost.

Meet her Magical Mediums - Kuro & Shiro
Star Guardian Promo Kuro
Star Guardian Promo Shiro

Creatures known to transform into physical weapons, Kuro and Shiro are Jinx's willing tools of mayhem. Kuro is ferocious and adores all things colorful, explosive, and glittery. Shiro's blank expression masks a truly disturbed soul; Jinx recalls only ever seeing Shiro's strange grin in the aftermath of one particularly savage fight.

Star Guardian Promo Jinx icon

Janna StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian Promo Janna

"A Guardian may die, but their spirit never fades."

A veteran Star Guardian, Janna now mentors the young and impressionable Lux. This seasoned Guardian rarely offers information about her mysterious past, and often seems preoccupied with memories of another place and time in her life. While distant and soft-spoken, Janna is the wisest of her team, holding a wealth of knowledge about their greater purpose and gently guiding them towards true understanding. Her poise and quiet strength are deeply admired by her teammates, and even Jinx can't ignore the respect that her presence commands.

Meet her Magical Medium - Zephyr
Star Guardian Promo Zephyr

Of those who know Janna, Zephyr is her oldest friend and confidant. It often glides around her, emanating a soothing glow that calms allies in the midst of even the most chaotic battle. While other magical companions on its team exude energy and whimsy, Zephyr's quiet and unassuming nature serves as a counterbalance to keep the group in harmony.

Star Guardian Promo Janna icon

Poppy StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian Promo Poppy

"I'm a soldier, not a savior. Now get out of my way—I've got work to do."

No one takes their Star Guardian responsibilities more seriously than Poppy. A fierce warrior with an even fiercer personality, Poppy wields her hammer judiciously and frowns heavily upon any Star Guardian who is doubtful (or in Jinx's case, flippant) about the call of the First Star. While she doesn't see herself as a hero, she is often the first Guardian on the battle lines, ready to put her duty before everything else. Her no-nonsense attitude carries her team along, especially at times of indecision. To Poppy, the universe is black and white: you're either here to smash anything that threatens the sanctity of the cosmos, or you're getting smashed.

Meet her Magical Medium - Light's Hammer
Star Guardian Promo Light's Hammer

Poppy found a loyal companion in the form of a trusty weapon, and her bravery and intense desire to do good are now bound in the weight of her winged hammer. Only Poppy can wield it; if the Hammer of Light had feet, it would stubbornly dig its heels into the ground, rejecting anyone else who dared try to carry it.

Star Guardian Promo Poppy icon

Lulu StarGuardian stats

Star Guardian Promo Lulu

"The light says hi, and that you're safe with us~"

The youngest member of Lux's team, Lulu is an odd but gifted second-year at Valoran High School. Her unique relationship with the Starlight, the source of every Star Guardian's power, lets her communicate with it like a close companion. To Lulu, this inner world is the most wondrous place, and anything outside of it is not as interesting. Because of her fascination with the Starlight, outwardly she may appear unconcerned with the gravity of her responsibilities. This whimsical behavior is puzzling to some teammates, but they accept her and all her eccentricities. At the end of the day, Lulu can be counted on to support her team—and let them know that the light supports them, too.

Meet her Magical Medium - Pix
Star Guardian Promo Pix

Pix has been with Lulu since long before the whimsical youth joined the Star Guardians... or so she claims. A golden ball keeps the bubbly creature afloat, though Pix can also fly by flapping its long ears. It loves food that tastes green.

As referenced by Xayah and later confirmed, she has a history with Zoe, who possesses a similarly shaped star gem. Syndra also covers one of her eyes, possibly because it shows a sign of corruption, akin to the corrupted Star Guardians. During her transformation sequence, she also hides inside Multi, likely for the same reason.

    • Season 3 and the corrupted guardians have a Star Guardian 2019 profileicon four-pointed star gem with corrupted colors.
      • Rakan Rakan and Xayah Xayah have the same type of star gem as Syndra Syndra and Zoe Zoe due to being corrupted guardians after their resurrection by Zoe Zoe.
      • When Rakan Rakan or Xayah Xayah die, their familiar picks up their gem. They are also seen to be revived from the gem. It is unknown if any other Star Guardian can be revived this way.

    'Burning Bright' Lyrics
    Star Guardian Burning Bright Cover
    Burning Bright SoundCloud

    Burning Bright
    We were born from light before there even was a dawn,
    so pure, so bright.
    Caught in destiny we shine for we are meant to be
    the Star Guardians

    Gone in a flash before our time,
    up in the skies together.
    The vow we have made has kept us strong.
    Don't fade away, it's time to shine.

    Burning bright,
    as we reach out for the same horizon.
    Burning brighter,
    runnin' outta time, we're chasing the light.

    Gone in a flash before our time,
    up in the skies together.
    The vow we have made has kept us strong.
    Don't fade away, it's time to shine.

    Burning bright,
    as we reach out for the same horizon.
    Burning brighter,
    piercing through the dawn, we burn on and on (and on)
