League of Legends cosplayer Sofia ‘Paperwings’ conjured up a magical take on the fearsome mage Syndra, leaving fans in awe after sharing her incredible attempt at her Star Guardian outfit.

Riot’s popular MOBA, League of Legends, now has 150 unique champions in the game, following the addition of Yone in patch 10.16.

This leaves plenty of choice for creative fans of the title, such as Paperwings, who like to recreate some of their favorite characters through cosplay and art.

Syndra is often seen as one of the most powerful mid-lane champions in League of Legends

While Syndra is one of the most popular picks in-game, it is not often that the Ionian mage is cosplayed, with fan-favorite characters such as Ahri or Miss Fortune usually standing out first.

However, cosplayer Paperwings reminded League of Legends fans just how impressive The Dark Sovereign can be, sharing her take on the champion’s Star Guardian skin on her Instagram.

She was praised for her impressive attention to detail, flawlessly recreating the character’s outfit, even adding her matching headpiece as seen in-game.

Star Guardian Syndra 🙂 I'm very excited for my Birthday next week, because I will eat a lot of cake, enjoy the weather in my pool and work on costumes. Sadly I had a really hard time with this Syndra costume though, because it makes me feel very self-conscious, but next one will be better for sure. . #cosplay #syndra #starguardian #syndracosplay #cosplayer #starguardiansyndra #star #leagueoflegends #league #costume #purple #violet #midlane #mid #leagueoflegendscosplay #cosplayarmor #gaming #leaguecosplay #game #riot #riotgames #girl #selfie #mage #nofilter #lol #cosplaygirl #makeup #germancosplay #skin @leagueoflegends @leagueoflegendsde

I'm starting to feel a lot better than last week already, so I decided to take Cowgirl Miss Fortune selfies today (sadly the best picture shows my bruise but I don't care) because I can't wait to start working on my Captain Miss Fortune Cosplay soon! In case you want to help me out with that, feel free to support me by visiting my Ko-fi site (link in my bio). I'd really, really appreciate that, because I love Miss Fortune so much. ❤️ . My cat has some mad eyebrows. . #cosplay #missfortune #cowboy #missfortunecosplay #cosplayer #cowgirl #cowgirlmissfortune #leagueoflegends #league #costume #wildwest #blonde #hat #adc #leagueoflegendscosplay #cosplayarmor #gaming #leaguecosplay #game #riot #riotgames #girl #selfie #adcarry #nofilter #lol #cosplaygirl #makeup #germancosplay #skin @leagueoflegends @leagueoflegendsde

Paperwings is no stranger to cosplaying League of Legends champions and has proven her talents on many other characters from the game such as Miss Fortune, as seen above, as well as Ahri, Nidalee, and more.

While the popular cosplayer admitted that she was self-conscious with her latest costume at first, she received an overwhelmingly positive response from fans, particularly amongst Syndra mains.
