Edit 21.12: face and hair tweaks!

Here's my take! I like Nid because of her pretty unique kit, at least pretty unique back when I played league. That "chonk" sound that regaled my ears when a max range spear hit really made the whole exotic archetype work =)

HOWEVER. Examining her design, I gotta say, it's pretty stupid =[ As far as I can tell her forest isn't located in a snow biome, why does she wear those inuit-grade fur boots? She has some exotic flair but how does she keep that hair so tidy? Why is the rest of her outfit so perfectly cut? I think she came about at a time where Riot didn't have a great handle on design, and kinda threw things together haphazardly.

I don't mean to say my take is superior, to be honest I don't think the "grimdark" aspect worked out how I intended, but for what it's worth, I think she looks appropriately busted up by all that jungle living, I hope you enjoy this re-imagining !
