Role in Runeterra. In the fiction, Leona is a resilient protector who holds the front line and a guardian who empowers and shields allies, usually seen in the top and support role in play. Their in-game kit echoes this identity, but the lore frames them first as a figure of the world rather than a set of numbers.

Powers and presence.
