Personality

Background / History

Caitlyn first becomes involved with Ling Ying after Vi arrests her for Sophie Midalda’s death. While reviewing the case, Caitlyn recognizes that the suspect’s claimed identity, Lilia Lance, belongs to a mercenary presumed dead. 8 9

Rather than prosecute Ling Ying as an outsider vulnerable to the Midalda Family’s influence, Caitlyn offers to fake “Lilia Lance’s” death and provide Ling Ying with a new identity. She later recruits her into the Enforcement Department, viewing her as a valuable asset against external threats to Piltover. 9 10

After witnessing Ling Ying’s destructive power during the Noxian port operation, Caitlyn chooses to continue trusting her. She explains that surveillance reports showed Ling Ying helping ordinary citizens, and that trust is the best way to prevent her strength from becoming a threat to Piltover. 11 12

Caitlyn subsequently places Ling Ying in Hextech Academy as an undercover student. When a shadow-magic incident damages an academy building, she covers up the aftermath while keeping Ling Ying assigned as the Enforcement Department’s key agent against extraordinary threats. 12 18

• Ling Ying / Cecilia Ilana — Recruited ally and undercover Enforcement Department operative. Caitlyn stages her escape from prosecution, assigns her missions, and offers continued trust despite knowing she may be inhuman. 9 12 18
• Camille — The two discussed Ling Ying’s recruitment into the Enforcement Department; Caitlyn remains displeased when Ling Ying later cooperates with the Fierol Family independently. 10 29 30
• Dilana — A promising Enforcement Department intern and daughter of the late Chief Constable Markos. Caitlyn does not blame her for her father’s actions, though she notes Dilana’s prejudice against Undercity people. 26
• Ezreal — Caitlyn knows he is concerned for Ling Ying and asks Ling Ying to reassure him after he repeatedly visits the Enforcement Department. 12
