传记

天生就与精神领域的魔法相通的阿狸，顾名思义，是一名狐狸模样的瓦斯塔亚。她可以操纵猎物的情感，吞噬他们的精魄——他们生前的记忆与领悟化作碎片在她心中浮现。她曾是一名强大又任性的掠食者，但现在却一心在世间寻觅着先祖留下的残迹，同时努力地创造一份真正属于自己，而非取自他人的记忆。

Innately connected to the magic of the spirit realm, Ahri is a fox-like vastaya who can manipulate her prey's emotions and consume their essence—receiving flashes of their memory and insight from each soul she consumes. Once a powerful yet wayward predator, Ahri is now traveling the world in search of remnants of her ancestors while also trying to replace her stolen memories with ones of her own making.

阿狸此生大部分时间一直都对自己的身世一无所知，她所属的瓦斯塔亚部族几乎彻底消失在历史中，

For most of her life, Ahri's origins were a mystery to her, the history of her vastayan tribe all but lost save for the twin gemstones she has carried her entire life.

留给她的线索只有一对与她生来形影不离的双生宝石。

阿狸最早的记忆，是在尚赞北部与一群冰原狐共同奔跑。虽然她知道自己不是它们的一员，但它们却将她视为相同的灵魂，将她接纳为狐群的一员。

Ahri's earliest memories are of running with icefoxes in the northern reaches of Shon-Xan. Though she knew she was not one of them, they clearly saw her as something of a kindred spirit, and came to accept her within the pack.

在那段肆意狩猎的日子里，阿狸始终感受到自己与周围的森林存在着更深层次的连接。不多久，她便领悟到，这就是流淌在她体内的瓦斯塔亚魔法，与彼端的精神领域产生着共鸣。虽然没有人教她，但她却以自己的方式掌握了这股力量——最常用来提高自己的反应速度，便于追逐猎物。而如果她小心靠近，甚至还能安抚一只受惊的小鹿——即使她和同伴将利齿没入小鹿的脖颈，它也会一直保持着安定。

In that wild, predatory existence, Ahri nonetheless felt a deeper connection to the forests around her. In time, she came to understand that this was the magic of the vastaya that coursed through every fiber of her being, and the realm of spirits that lay beyond. With no one to teach her, instead she learned to call upon this power in her own ways—most often using it to quicken her reflexes in pursuit of prey. If she was careful and close enough, she also found she might soothe a panicked deer, so that it remained serene and calm even as she and her packmates sank their teeth into its flesh.

凡人的世界对于阿狸和冰原狐显得既遥远又嘈杂，但她却因为某种说不清的理由感到一种吸引力。人类是一种格外粗鲁、鄙俗的生物……一天，有一群猎人在附近扎营，阿狸从远处看着他们进行可怕的工作。

The world of mortals was as distant and unsettling to Ahri as it was to the icefoxes, but she felt drawn to it for reasons she could not explain. Humans in particular were coarse, gruff creatures… and when a band of huntsmen camped nearby, Ahri watched them from afar as they went about their grim business.

当其中一人被弓箭误伤的时候，阿狸感受到他渐渐流失的生命。天生是掠食者的她，在本能的驱使下，品尝了潺潺流出的精魄，她也同时收获了这位猎人零散的记忆——在战斗中殒命的爱人、留在南方家中的孩子们。阿狸轻轻把他的情绪从恐惧推到悲伤再推到快乐，用温馨的景象安慰他，让他临死前的记忆停留在一片阳光和煦的草地上。

When one of them was wounded by a stray arrow, Ahri could feel his life seeping away. Knowing nothing but the instincts of a predator, she savored the spirit essence leaving his body, and through it gained brief flashes of his memories—the lover he had lost in battle, and the children he had left behind when he came north. Ahri subtly pushed his emotions from fear to sorrow to joy, and comforted him with visions of a sun-soaked meadow as he died.

之后，她发现自己开始能够理解人类的词汇。他们的语言就像一场模糊的梦。于是阿狸知道，是时候该离开自己的狐群了。

Afterward, she found that human words now came to her easily, like something from a half-remembered dream, and Ahri knew the time had come to leave the pack behind.

她游离在人类社会的边缘，从未感到如此充满活力。她依然保留着掠食者本性，但却被许多前所未有的体验、情绪和艾欧尼亚各地的风俗所深深吸引。看起来，凡人也同样会被她迷得神魂颠倒——她经常利用这一点，吸取他们的精魄，同时让他们陷入优美的回忆、渴望的幻象和痛彻心扉的忧伤梦境之中。

Keeping to the fringes of society, she felt more alive than ever. Her predatory nature remained, but she was caught up in a riot of new experiences, emotions, and customs across Ionia. Mortals, it seemed, also became fascinated by her in return—and she often used this to her advantage, draining their essence while charming them with recollections of beauty, hallucinations of deep longing, and occasionally dreams colored by raw sorrow.

那些不属于她的记忆令她沉醉，而结束他人性命则让她感到精神焕发，只不过她也能感受到自己给受害者带去的悲伤和痛苦。记忆的闪回让她体验到短暂而又美妙的心碎与欣喜，让她欲罢不能。这种感觉让她无所适从，但每当她试图远离人类，就会感到自己的力量开始消散，于是她忍不住一次又一次地重蹈覆辙……

She grew drunk on memories that were not her own, and exhilarated in ending the lives of others even as she felt the grief and woe she brought to her victims. She experienced heartbreak and elation in tantalizing flashes that left her craving more. It was overwhelming, but she sensed her own power fading whenever she tried to stay away, and could not help but partake again and again…

渐渐地，她开始以凡人的眼光看待自己：她是一只怪物。

In time, she began to see herself as mortals did: a monster.

直到那一天，一位艺术家遇到了她，当时她正弓在一个人身上，吸取他的生命。换做别人一定会仓皇逃走，但他却没有，而是甘愿献出自己的生命，换她一刻倾心。此生第一次，阿狸让自己沉入了爱与被爱的旋涡中。

Until one day, an artist stumbled upon her, hunched over a man as she drained his life essence from him. Where others would run, he stayed, offering his own life essence in exchange for her heart. For the first time in her life, Ahri let herself fall in love and be loved, wholly and completely.

二人度过了温馨甜美的时光，阿狸只会索取恋人的精魄，以此学会克制自己的食欲。她真心感到幸福……直到她失去控制，彻底吸干了自己的恋人。

Their days passed in warmth and laughter, Ahri curbing her hunger by feeding on her lover. She was truly happy... until she lost control, draining her lover completely.

阿狸陷入了彻骨的绝望，终日在哀恸中缅怀自己第一个、也是唯一一个真正爱过的人。第一个，也是唯一一个真正爱她的人。她远远离开人类的社会，一心只想追寻自己的来历，希望借此控制自己的力量。

Ahri fell into despair, her grief consuming her as she mourned the loss of the first and only person she's ever truly loved. The first and only person who ever truly loved her. Retreating even further from society, she became consumed with learning more about where she came from, in hopes that it would help her control her abilities.

她手中紧握着那对双生宝石，踏上了寻找同类的旅途，在机缘巧合之下离开艾欧尼亚去往比尔吉沃特。 最后在暗影岛的沙滩上，她终于查清了自己的祖先——维沙狞部族。这支瓦斯塔亚部族曾为世界带来创新与魔法，最后却被破败之咒灭绝。

这些回忆激励了阿狸，她再次启程，要去寻遍世界各地，探访维沙狞留下的其他遗迹。她希望能传承先祖的瑰宝，为这个世界带来美好。她不再背负悔恨的负担，她希望能够放下那些偷来的记忆，创造属于自己的新的回忆。

With her twin sunstones in hand, she set out in search of others like her, a journey that would take her out of Ionia and across Runeterra, eventually leading her to the discovery of her ancestors, the Vesani, a vastayan tribe that brought innovation and magic to the world before being wiped out.

Inspired by their memories, Ahri has set off to travel the world in search of other remnants of the Vesani. She hopes to carry their legacy forward, bringing good into the world like they did. No longer burdened by the heavy weight of her regrets, she also hopes to finally leave her stolen memories behind and create new memories of her own making.
