Biography:
A half-breed born from the union between dragon and human, Shyvana searched all her life for belonging. Persecution forged her into a brutal warrior, and those who dare stand against Shyvana face the fiery beast lurking just beneath her skin.
Dragonkind considered Shyvana's impure blood an abomination, and she spent her youth pursued relentlessly by one cruel drake. Constantly on the run, she and her father, an outcast dragon, never knew a lasting home. A brutal reflection of countless battles, Shyvana grew hateful and savage. After years of strife, her father finally fell to the other dragon, but not before gravely wounding his foe. Furious with grief, Shyvana pursued her father's murderer as he fled north to recover. There she encountered a group of humans on the trail of the same drake. Though the men looked upon her in fear, their leader approached Shyvana peacefully. He introduced himself as Jarvan IV, the Prince of Demacia, and offered to aid Shyvana in her quest for vengeance. Together they hunted down and confronted the vicious dragon that had slain her father. Shyvana did not expect the men to survive, but in the clash of fire and steel, Jarvan and his men fought with strength she had never believed humans to possess. The ironclad warriors drove their foe into submission, and Shyvana struck the final blow, tearing the beast's heart from its body. Inspired by her ferocity, Jarvan offered her a place in the ranks of his elite guard. Shyvana could still see fear in the eyes of his men, but she longed for a true home. Trusting Jarvan's word, she accepted his offer and now serves as a Demacian warrior. Though her human allies admire her power, they keep their distance. Shyvana strives to repay the prince's kindness with the power of the dragon within, but she cannot help but wonder if the humans are right to fear her.

Where you eventually want to see your character:
Q: Does it hurt when you dragon up?
A: Shyvana doesn't feel any pain whatsoever when she transforms, quite the opposite really, she's relieved.
Usually when she transforms she's in a state of absolute anger and rage and when she's allowed to bring out the dragon within her it feels like a giant weight is removed from her and she can be what she really is, a Dragon.
Q: Is Shyvana interested in tracking down her people?
A: Well, Half-Dragons she want to find but she knows that her kind is really really few in numbers, but she wants to find more like her and offer them a place in Demacia along with her. Dragons on the other hand, she has thought about looking for Dragons but not for killing purposes, she wants to speak with them, and if they attack or won't listen, well, she'll fight them.
Q: What does Shyvana suspect about the future of Demacia?
A: Shyvana doesn't really understand why they had to invite the Solari to Demacia and isn't that involved in politics, or any politics at all, she personally thinks that most if not all problems should be solved through military means. But if the talks go as planned she is pretty sure that she'll be involved in some sort of fighting in the future, be it with Noxus or some other force.
Q: What is Shyvana's Dragon Form size? Would she be as large as say, Nautilus? (Comparing to A New Dawn which looks like proper sizing considering Nautilus size in lore.)
A: Shyvana isn't really tall as she's long, sure when she's transformed her shoulders reach above most of normal people's heads, using Jarvan IV as an example I'd say that his head is just below her shoulder. Long she'd be 5-6 meters long which is 16-19 feet long with her tail being the longer part. Standing up on her hind legs she'd reach up to a bit below his shoulders.
Q: How much would being, perhaps casually, used as a quick source of fire annoy Shyvana?
Ex: A soldier asks her to help light the campfire.
A: It wouldn't bother her at all, she understands that not everyone can use fire to their will as much as she can, and if it's during the winter, she'd be glad to help as she dislikes the cold a lot.
Q: Does the cold disliking is due to the fact that her other side is a cold blooded reptile? Or that she just hates the cold for personal reasons?
A: It's mostly from personal reasons but there's a slight preference to the warmth because of her draconian blood. The reason to why she dislikes the cold so much is because during her time on the run with her dad they never had a proper shelter but moved from day to day to different locations in Runeterra. This meant that she had to endure freezing cold weather with nothing but thin clothing. Even though she has propper clothing now for the winter she still can't get over her dislike for the cold.
Q: What does Shyvana think of Kayle's joining of Demacia
A: Shyvana isn't really sure what she thinks about that, she has respect for the Judicator and thinks that Kayle is a formidable fighter on the fields of Justice. Though she's not so sure what the Judicator gets for joining Demacia, whether that might be for personal gain or if she really cares. But she's glad she joined Demacia over Noxus.
Q: I think the biggest question here is whether Shyvana prefers ass or tits, and on a slightly more serious note, what shyvana's views on relationships (with her in them) is.
A: 1. Shyvana isn't looking for a person with either big ass or tits, she's looking for someone who actually respects her as a person and doesn't treat her like an animal that should be caged or put on a leash.
2. Shyvana haven't thought a whole lot on relationships with others as she hasn't been that interested in one, but as stated in the first answer, she's looking for someone who will respect and treat her like a person. If it happens to be a woman or a man is entirely situational and as of right now she has no preferences when it comes to sexes.
Q: Hello Shyvana. If your father's a big dragon, and your mother's a normal human female, how did she, and he... you know?
A: The way Dragon and human relationships work is through transformation. Any normal dragon can take on the form of a human male if they are male or Female if they are female. Half-dragons are the other way around, they are stuck as Humans until they learn how to control their transformations, Shyvana does this through willpower and her willpower is fueled by rage.
Q: What l kind of clothing does Shyvana wear when she's not in armor?
A: When it comes to clothing Shyvana doesn't really care what she wears, though she is not a fan of wearing dresses or skirts. If she has a day off she usually wears a t-shirt along with some simple pants or shorts. During the winter Shyvana wear pretty much the same but when she's outside she will be dressed in a winter variation of the Ironscale armor which has more padding than the regular version.
If she's going to a formal event with a requirement of wearing a dress she has one dress she wears most of the time, an Ionian dress, she find them rather simple and easy to wear.
Q: What is her favorite thing to eat and her favorite way to get it?
A: Her favorite thing to eat is Mountain Goats from the Iron spike Mountain lines, though because of the distance between the Iron Spike mountains and Demacia, as well as the short distance between said mountains and Noxus, it's quite rare that she get to eat it. But back when the Institute of War had not begun to fall apart and Noxus was still in it, she'd travel there once in a while to hunt the goats by herself. She's quite a good hunter but far from the levels of Rengar. When she has gotten her hands on the Mountain Goat meat she usually cook it over an open fire along with some seasoning.
Q: How does she do when she's lonely? Missing her father?
A: Shyvana doesn't feel as lonely now as when she first came to Demacia, the first few weeks she had cried herself to sleep but after having found a teddy bear she began to grow attached to them. Now several years later, she has a slowly growing collection of teddy bears tucked away for the times when she misses her father at night. Though it depends on her mood as well. Sometimes she takes out a bottle of scotch to help her sleep, but it has often happened that she'd need to get either a new table or some stitches on her hand.
Q: How does she react when humans try to flirt with her
A: When Shyvana was new to the League of Legends she was approached from people both from Demacia, Ionia and even a few from Noxus that tried to flirt with her. At first she thought they were joking but after having a conversation with one of the higher summoners from the city of Piltover she had been told that they were flirting with her. Now at the time she was oblivious to it and payed it less attention, but she enjoyed the feeling that people wanted to be with her for some reason. But as of right now, she's not looking to be in a relationship and mostly find those who try and flirt with her, annoying.
Q: Is Shyvana familiar with any rune of sorts?
A: No she's not, because of her lineage. She also doesn't know what rune her father held and has no real need to have one of her own.
Q: Opinions about gunpowder, and gunpowder based weapons?
A: Shyvana thinks gunpowder based weapons, along with weapons that keep you away from the actual fighting, is something only cowards use and those who are weak.
Q: What does Shyvana think about yordles?
A: Shyvana doesn't know a whole lot about Yordles besides those she's met and fought on the Fields of Justice, of course she's met them outside of the league in the institute and she meets Poppy fairly often in Demacia. But her opinion on the 'small things' which she calls them when speaking about them is that they can be rather fierce, but are also rather odd. They can vary from being friendly and happy to being insane. So her opinions on Yordle depends on the Yordle entirely.

Judgement
Candidate: Shyvana
Date: 17 August, 22CLE.
Observation:
The Half Dragon walked through the institute of war, approaching the reflection chamber. The summoners that filled the corridors of the institute looked at her, and she looked at them. She saw one thing in their eyes, fear, it was always fear. Shyvana pressed up the doors to the reflection chamber, walking in and standing in the middle she looked around her, it was pitch black except for the one light in the middle where she stood. She closed her eyes and let the procedure begin.
Reflection:
Her eyes shot open; that roar, she knew exactly who it was. She looked around her, seeing the same lake she had been sitting at all those years ago. She heard the roar again, no, this was not a dream. She hurried back to the camp where her father was, running through the bushes, rage boiled within her. This time she was going to save her father, she had to. Running she didn’t stop as she heard her father’s roar, her heart rate accelerated and flames engulfing her as she ran. The sound of fire getting launched through the air made her stop, she was too late. No, she had to make it, she had to save him.
Leaping out from the forest out on the field where the two Dragons fought she was covered entirely in flames. The Half Dragon had become whole. But she was too late, the other dragon had begun it’s escape and fled north. She was covered in flames again and ran up to her father, too late again she sat down next to his head, tears ran down her cheeks. Shyvana cried for what seemed like hours next to her father. The sound of a roar echoed through the air, looking up she saw him return.
Shyvana clenched her fist as the Dragon landed a few yards away from her and her father. She stood up on shaking legs, she couldn’t transform again, it had been too recent since she last had done it. But the rage boiled within her. Step after step she moved closer to the Dragon, she began to run towards him, everything went black.
She stopped and looked around herself; blinking a few times a familiar figure approached her, Jarvan. He wore the same outfit he had the first time they met, slowly she walked up to him, but was stopped by him. “J-Jarvan?” she released her clenched fist and looked at him. His eyes were cold, they didn’t feel like Jarvan’s. She took a step back from him. “How does it feel to expose your mind?” He said, it wasn’t his voice, it was someone else. She put on a façade, “It felt relieving.” The voice rang out again, this time from behind her, Garen stood there, but it wasn’t his voice. “How does it feel, to expose your mind?”
Shyvana turned around, fire burning in her eyes, a small flame in her hands, “Infuriating.” A third time the voice was heard, “Why do you want to join the League, Shyvana?”
The question caught her off guard, had she been nineteen it would have been easy to answer, but now not as easy, after a few moments of thinking she had her answer. “To defend my home, I will defend Demacia until the day I fall, be it by time or by enemy hands I will always fight.”
The two figures around her disappeared into smoke and the doors to the League opened behind her. Shyvana looked over her shoulder, turning around and walking towards the bright light she exited the reflection chamber.
