In a
blog post, a woman named Stephanie is claiming that her ex-boyfriend, who worked at Riot Games, used her likeness to design a new
League of Legends character named Seraphine. Stephanie's argument is based on the fact that some photos of herself with pink hair and glasses look like images of the character Seraphine, who has similar hair and glasses. Riot tried to deny any wrongdoing, saying her ex was never directly involved with the character's development and that the character was never inspired by any real person. But then they screwed up by later saying that the character
was inspired by a person, just not Stephanie. Aside from the creepiness of this character looking like Stephanie, she's most bummed about the amount of Seraphine porn out there, which people have been sending her. Regardless of whether you believe Stephanie or not, the takeaway here is that you never want to date anyone who makes video games. Other wise you might just find yourself playing
GTA 6 as a character that looks a lot like you and has an identical micro penis.

Compare Stephanie on the right with the League of Legends character Seraphine on the left.
2
This character costs $25, and this lady is pissed that a woman with pink hair is making Riot so much money, while her own pink hair isn't helping her bank account one bit.
3
The resemblance is there, but it's kind of too hard to really prove it.
4
If this lady's ex really did design this character after her, he's kind of an idiot for choosing such a similar name.
5
Some of these photos are actually un-convincing. Should have restricted the amount of evidence to be more believable.
6
This is also not really helping her case. Her drawing on the left is supposed to be the same art style as the drawing in the video game? OK...

These photos show that Stephanie did visit Riot Games' offices once, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Also she sort of tried to keep her identity hidden by not revealing her last name, but she left her real Instagram handle in this photo. Whoops!
8
It's also worth noting that Stephanie is a recent law school grad. There's definitely similarities between her and the character, but not a whole ton of "evidence" that would hold up in court.
9
Riot Games claims the character is based on a Korean pop star from the group K/DA.

This is where Riot messed up. This game designer at Riot admitted the character was based on a real person, instead of sticking with Riot's earlier claim that the character wasn't based on anyone. Riot's probably not too happy with this dude.
