Chishio: Neither of your comments actually is relevant here.

First, Dew's weapon obviously looks like a spear because it is. (Though we haven't exactly seen her use it as one yet.) However, the head is rather wide and has a prominent gem, which looks unusually like several of Janna's sceptres from various skins. (In fact, the Hextech and Victorious Janna skins both have sceptres shaped much more like spears or pikes and the Frost Queen Janna skin has a sceptre with a blade-shaped head.) Additionally, most of Dew's usage of her spear so far has been much more sceptre-style than spear-style (as a mage focus and as a deflective weapon).

Second, of course tornados are a good idea for wind Dust wielding. Other obvious uses would be using wind as a shield or to increase movement speed. All of these Janna also does.

In addition, consider this: Dew moves a lot like Janna. Gwen has a ridiculously high number of throwing knives like Katarina. Nebula has a silver dart crossbow like Vayne. Sage has a clock-related sword like Ekko. Sun has a staff and creates illusions like Wukong. I'm not saying that RT is ripping off Riot's designs. It's not like wind mages, knife-throwing assassins, cross-bow wielders, bo-staff fighters, and time-influencing swordsmen are uncommon characters to run into in anime or video games. I'm just pointing out that these characters (at least in their introductions) seem to be strongly based off of certain League characters rather than mythological or fairy tale characters.
