If you haven't already, I highly suggest you watch the music video Blood, Sweat, and Tears that's the "intro" for Ambessa as a LoL champion. It's animated by Fortiche as well, and has no spoilers at this point. I think you'll love the insights it provides Ambessa's inner feelings and potentially a bit of her past (how much of it can be taken as 1:1 canon is up for debate, but still, the visual symbolism is a feast)

Very cool show-not-tell from Arcane once again during Ambessa’s dialogue with Caitlyn, as she tells her about the “enemy” out there she is literally stoking the fire, which can be read as her lighting the fire under Caitlyn to further cement her “hate” for Jinx, but also her lighting her own fire to continue giving herself strength to chase the enemy, the threat to her family out there, despite being so tired.

That whole ending sequence of this episode altered my brain chemistry.

I absolutely love this episode, especially when Jinx is talking to Silco's chair realizing she's really on her own now and is no longer a kid. Man...what a brillant character.
