User blog:Duskeh/Does anyone else see the League of Legends references in Penny?

They might be kind of vague, and I doubt they're intentional (I'm definitely overthinking it) but am I the only one? Her floating swords make me think of Irelia's floating knife-things, and their shape sort of resembles that of Irelia's other blade (the one to her left).

Also, although we haven't gone into her character much at all yet, robo-girl sort of immediately makes me think of Orianna.

For those of you who aren't familiar with LoL, Orianna's backstory in a nutshell is that she was created by a scientist, who fathered a girl of the same name. She was obsessed with becoming a summoner (someone who uses magic to summon and control League of Legends champions) and her excitement led her to take an unspecified unneccessary risk, which resulted in her death. This caused her father to spiral into deep depression, and he created Orianna to fill the void and sort of accomplish his daughter's desires to become affiliated with the League of Legends.

I'm trying, but for the life of me I can't think of what that references. There's some fairly famous fairytale, isn't there, about a parent who creates arificial life in the place of an actual child? (out of sorrow for the loss of said child, if I'm not mistaken).

This is kind of a tangent, but maybe, maybe, Penny's backstory goes something like this? Just a thought.
