This article has recently been converted to the new character-focused layout but it needs a lore enthusiast to help fill-out the sections. In addition, 'Relations trivia' and 'Lore trivia' have been moved here but need restructuring into article content - lore is no longer trivia. If you're eager to help but would like to reference a completed character article: Aurelion Sol, Jinx, Mel, and Viego are excellent. |

Universe
Once a criminal from the mean streets of 
Zaun, 
Vi is a hotheaded, impulsive, and fearsome woman with only a very loose respect for authority figures. Growing up all but alone, Vi developed finely honed survival instincts as well as a wickedly abrasive sense of humor. Now working with the Wardens to keep the peace in 
Piltover, she wields mighty hextech 
gauntlets that can punch through walls—and suspects—with equal ease.
 | "We can either do this the hard way or… Oh wait, no. There's just the hard way." — Vi |

Appearance
Vi is an tall, athletic, and light-skinned woman. She wears common punk street fashion typical for Zaunite and Piltover youth atypical for her Warden profession. Her most noticeable features are her mechanical augments inspired tattoos across her entire back and arms (including a VI tattoo on her left cheek), as well as her natural pink hair.
When at work, she is rarely seen without her Atlas gauntlets which become extensions of her hands.
Personality
(TBA)
Abilities
- Brawler: Vi is skilled at hand-to-hand combat, being able to dodge and counter most punches, even those from shimmer enhanced individuals. She would use her fighting skills in tandem with her gauntlets.
- Atlas Gauntlets: Exceedingly rare and powerful hextech augments created by Vaido Violante that considerably boost Vi's strength and dexterity. Vi actively uses prototypes of the Atlas Gauntlets.
- Deduction Skills: While not as skilled as her partner
Caitlyn, Vi has some skills at collect information to solve crimes by talking to witnesses and informants, collecting physical evidence, or searching records in databases. Her familiarity with the undercity of Zaun would prove useful numerous times during her time as a Warden.

Biography

Short Story • 5 Minute Read
Vi stifled a yawn as she moved through the gilded chamber at the heart of Piltover's Hall of Law. Dawn was less than an hour old, and the place was quiet. A few drunks were sleeping it off in the shaming cells, and she'd heard there were a couple of chem-augmented thugs in the deeper, more secure lock-ups. She'd ask around later, see if she could provide any insight as to what they were doing up in Piltover.

Short Story • 27 Minute Read
Tamara forces herself to rise early - an easy habit to get into when the earth is your bed and fallen leaves the only blanket. Less so when the mattress is stuffed with goose down and the sheets woven from soft cotton. The curtains are pulled back, and warm light pools on the floor of her third floor boarding room. She'd closed the curtains on her first night in Piltover and had slept two hours past dawn, which worried her so much, she has never closed them since.

Short Story • 5 Minute Read
Even three bells after the Sun Gate had closed, Piltover was still full of life - life that was currently getting in her way. Caitlyn sprinted down Mainspring Crescent, weaving a path between midnight revelers strolling down the fashionable promenade of cafes and bistros. The supper clubs were emptying, as were the nearby theaters inside the Drawsmith Arcade, so this street was going to get a whole lot busier. If they didn't catch up to Devaki soon, they were going to lose him.

Outdated Lore
Trivia
- Vi is a Zaunite sumpsnipe who became a Guardian of Piltover.
- Vi's prototype Atlas Gauntlets were created by Vaido Violante, a former apprentice of Covin Reveck, Orianna's father.
- Vi remembers nothing from her early childhood, even her name 'Vi' comes from the tattoo on her cheek.
- Before the release of Arcane, Vi and Jinx were often theorized by the community to be sisters. The reference to this on Jinx's release was her quote, "You think I'm crazy? You should see my sister". Though there was never any implication that the sister was Vi, players equated Jinx's antagonization of Vi specifically as "sisterly bonding".
- Incidentally, Jinx only antagonized Vi specifically on English-speaking servers. Other servers showed her antagonizing other champions, such as Lucian.
- Hermit later says to Vi, "You look like your sister! Er, wait, I'm not supposed to talk about that...". This could be a confirmation that Vi has a sister, but could also be an example of Lyte repeating rumours he's heard from players (such as the rumour he heard from players that Lux and Ezreal were dating, which Lux herself later denied after hearing the rumour ).
- There is a significant indication that the pair did grow up together, however. With Vi currently suffering from amnesia, Jinx has taken it upon herself to try and trigger her memories.
- In an interview with Ghostcrawler, he mentioned that Jinx and Vi are "sisters", but later confirmed he was merely stating what he thought was true, and that the narrative team said otherwise.
- Incidentally,
- Vi is in her 20s, and around 5 years older than Jinx.
- Vi is left-handed and weighs 8,140 lbs with her gauntlets on.
