StarryBlade

"So maybe I shouldn't have stayed out all night. Akali and I talked so long that I didn't practice before today's meeting and I kept messing up and I think I disappointed everyone."

- Seraphine's Twitter (@seradotwav).

Starryblade is the femslash ship between Akali and Seraphine from the League of Legends fandom.

Canon
StarryBlade started in Riot Games’ Musicverse (Alternate Universe), where Seraphine is an aspiring singer who constantly does cover songs before the famous K-pop group K/DA offered an exclusive collaboration for their upcoming EP. In her exclusive interview with Inven Global, Seraphine said she was really nervous because K/DA are her idols. Among all of them, Akali is the most friendly, who often joked and teased her to lose any tension. It could be because their ages are implied to be two years apart, so they get along very well.

The two grew close along the production of the upcoming K/DA’s EP. This was told in the first chapter of the official K/DA comic. Their close relationship was also shared by Seraphine herself through her official Twitter account. She mentioned Akali several times on her Twitter. There was also a moment where Akali ‘hacked’ her Twitter and posted a photo of Seraphine sleeping.

Seraphine ever confessed on her Twitter that she one day missed her practice and kept messing up after spending a night talking a lot of things with Akali, hinting the two now became even closer. She later released her cover song for All The Things She Said (originally sung by t.A.T.u.). The song is about a girl developing feelings for another girl, which hinted fans that Seraphine has a crush on Akali.

Fanon
StarryBlade was popular during K/DA’s comeback. However, due to the huge backlash from the players on Seraphine’s champion release at that time, the ship was eventually abandoned. StarryBlade is now categorized as a rare ship.

Quotes
K/DA (Riot Games Musicverse)

"Akali was the easiest to get along with. She always reached out to me and teased me, wouldn’t let me be a stranger. Over time we all got really   close, though. It feels like everyone’s been looking out for me in their own way, which I’m really grateful for. - Seraphine (Interview with Inven Global.)""“The EP and the MV were a lot of hard work, but working together was so much fun. Lots of late nights in the studio with ramen. And we mess with each other all the time. I kept trying to make Seraphine laugh when we were shooting “MORE,” and one of the takes actually made it onto the video.” - Akali (K/DA Interview with The Korea Herald.)"
