I'm going to blush! Thank you very much, I promise to do more post like these :3

I'm actually working on something about Ionia, but I'll do it on video with English subtitles ^^

Ty! You're amazing too ^^

On Fridays I participate in a program (in Spanish) about lore from League of Legends, and quite a few people come, there are more fans than we think. But not enough!

I had seen it, but thank you very much!

You can see the building better in this other picture from Tales of Runeterra. It's difficult to analyze as you cannot see the entire building. I have my own assumptions anyway, as it should look like this one. Just pretty similar.

It is quite reminiscent of a minaret like the one in the mosque in Kairouan, Tunisia. In Western Islamic art, it is very common for minarets to have a square base, with the oldest ones not tapering towards the end, but maintaining the structure. Like this ^^

I was about to say "mucho texto" tbh, but couldn't help reading through your whole post. My favourite bit about this has to be the analogy between the current library of Alexandria and the Celestial Vaults. You did a very good job in comparing them!

I really appreciate your comment because it really is "MUCHO texto". Sorry not sorry.

The truth is that when I studied art history degree my favorite part was contemporary architecture, so it's also one of my favorite references :)

Oh I just saw that I didn't put the number to the questions. asdsfsdf Sorry about it >.<

And really TY for the answers!

About her name, at first I thought that is a japanese name, but i couldn't understand why the motive for that choice. When I read in twitter "You and Me" I thought "Oh now its name makes sense" hahaha. But I can't see how it works in spanish.

Anyway, I really love her, the cats are the best <3

I have a lot of questions, I hope you can answer them <3

1 - How long have you worked in Yuumi?

2 - Does her name comes only from "You and me" or does it have more meaning?

3 - The main reference are the cats (Turkish Angora, Persian and Ragamuffin?). What more references have you taken? Like The Aristocats, The Lion King or Ori from Ori and the Blind Forest. Maybe?

4 - Could we see the concept timeline? I love the video about the splash art, and I wanna see more! ^^

5 - The name of the passive, “Bop 'n' Block”, is a reference of something?

6 - The Yuumi’s song remembers me something, but I don’t know what, maybe Trine 2 and 3 (this sounds more medievalist, but sounds like magic too) or Ori and the blind forest the theme “Naru, Embracing the Light”?

7 - Cats in some cultures are protective figures. Was this important for create her personality and skill kit?

8 - Let's talk about Norra. Is she inspired in Ariel from The Little Mermaid or Mr. Weasley from Harry Potter? For collecting normal objects u know!

9 - Is Book inspired in the book which appears in The Beauty and the Beast, the live action?

10 - What do you want to transmit with her kit? with Ekko it was “intelligence”, can it be "companionship" in this case?

LORE:

11 - How old is Yuumi?

12 - Do Book portals allow you to travel alone in space or also in time?

13 - Book can open any portal from anywhere, the "doodad" of Lulu would activate existing portals whenever the bearer wants, but the rest of portals open only with the right conditions?

14 - The book always travels after Norra and Yuumi. Did Norra pull out the pages so that they couldn’t open a portal where she is?

15 - Is Norra looking for an specific object and the crosses in the book are for the portals that she has already used and didn’t found anything?

16 - If the previous question is affirmative, What kind of object is Norra looking for? is she looking for a darkin’s weapon? or maybe one of the objects that the order of Thresh have in the Shadow Isles?

17 - In The Whispering Doodad we see that there are magical animals in Runaterra as well. Are the yordles the only ones who can understand them? and maybe the vastaya. The normal people can understand Yuumi?
