Character from Arcane by Riot Games
Exiled Noxian soldier who broke her own sword after witnessing Noxus's use of chemical weapons against Ionians. She lives in Ionia seeking atonement she may never find.
Riven was Noxus's ideal soldier — devoted, powerful, and unquestioning — until she witnessed her own commanders deploy chemical weapons against Ionian civilians and their own troops alike. The betrayal shattered her faith and she shattered her blade in response, deserting and fleeing into Ionia. She now lives among the people her nation invaded, carrying guilt she cannot discharge. She is quiet, haunted, and struggles to accept kindness. She is connected to Yasuo's story — the wind technique that killed his master may have originated from Noxian runic magic.
Athletic woman with short white hair and a stern, weathered face. Wears simple Ionian farming clothes over a muscular frame clearly built for war. Carries the shattered remains of her once-great Noxian runic blade, now broken into fragments.
