In order to make her happy, her father often took her to the theater to watch the play. But Orianna always got up and left the stage halfway through, saying that she knew everything about the play.

Seeing that his daughter's original personality is gradually lost, Colin tries to help Orianna recall her memories and motor habits.

Whenever her behavior deviated too far from her previous habits, he reminded her to correct it. Oriana followed his instructions, but grew increasingly disgusted by his interference, because she wanted nothing more than to be herself.

In less than a year, Orianna has completely turned into a mechanical body, and only her heart, miraculously escaped the contamination of poison.

During the time of Oriana's deterioration, Colin's only concern was his daughter, who snubbed many wealthy clients and lost patronage and spending from them.

Without financial resources, Oriana and Colin had to sell their property and move to the underground city of Zaun. They set up a shop halfway up the canyon with an alchemy technology lab below, and soon they found a business: reworking breathing equipment to filter the infamous Zaun haze.

Orianna's skill in making mechanical clockwork equipment is more sophisticated than ever, because her hands are no longer tired from delicate manipulation, and her mechanical mind does not need to sleep.

She doesn't need any measuring equipment, and can instantly calculate the exact length, width and height dimensions at a glance, completing complex calculations that would have taken hours in a matter of seconds.

Oriana also learned to take care of her body, adding lubricating oil, replacing old parts, and repairing stuck clockwork gears. However, when she loses strength, she still needs to rely on her father to tighten the clockwork for her.

The wheels and gears in her body never stopped, but Orianna often felt lost, because time seemed to have stood still forever in this moment—at least her time.

Her father's forehead had a few more wrinkles, and a few strands of silver had crept up his temples, but Oriana's gears were running as usual, and she didn't feel any change herself.

She couldn't help but wonder if her life would go on like this forever, and at the same time feel lost about things she would never be able to experience.

Because most of the Zaun people were accustomed to breathing the air polluted by alchemical exhaust fumes, people only occasionally visited Colin's workshops, and their business began to deteriorate. The leak coincided with overnight rain, and since they moved to Zaun, Colin began to experience severe chest pain and had to stay in bed frequently.

One day, Oriana meets a gutter urchin dangling in front of their shop, so she spends the afternoon making a robot doll for him.

After winding up, this little wind-up gentleman can caress the brim of his hat and bow in salute. The little boy was overjoyed. Oriana realizes that it is this joy that is lacking in Zaun's life, so she designs many elaborate dolls.

In a place where practicality is pure, she makes beautiful crafts that bring smiles to the faces of many Zaun people. Dolls are in short supply, and the fame of Colin's workshop has skyrocketed. Finally, they can afford more expensive materials, even the rare Hextech Crystals.

The trees are very popular, and not all of them are guests. Patrick. Grime, a vicious alchemy baron, is hired by a thug who suddenly visits Colin and forcibly protects Colin from theft, extortion, and vandalism, but requires a protection fee.

Colin rejects them, believing that they should stand up for wrongdoing rather than go against it. But that same night, Colin's shop was ransacked, and all his money was gone.

So it took Orianna a month to build a tool for the caretaker: a brass sphere that could send waves of energy to inflict great pain on the target.

Colin discovers that the orb automatically assists Orianna in her work, and it seems that there is some kind of invisible connection between them.

Colin's health continued to deteriorate, and Oriana had to buy expensive tonic to ease his pain. She did her best to care for her father on the sickbed, but the last surgeon from Zaun came to the conclusion that alchemical exhaust had invaded Colin's bloodstream and poisoned his heart.

While Colin and Orianna are highly technologically advanced in biomechanical clockwork items, they have never been able to devise complex parts that can replace the human heart.

Her own life was able to survive thanks to the fact that her heart has always resisted the invasion of disease. However, her heart is also the strongest connection between her past self and her past self, allowing her to stand still in the torrent of time.

Oriana knew that her father loved his former daughter, but she felt that she was no longer that girl.

Perhaps returning this heart to her father would keep his daughter's memory alive forever, because she herself had begun to forget it.

If she could build a Hextech-powered mechanical heart for herself, then her mechanical lungs would no longer need to be wound. Maybe this way, her time will flow normally.

Orianna fed her father sleeping pills and crafted a new mechanical heart from the Hextech Crystal they had recently purchased.

The ever-regenerating energy contained in the crystal powers the intricate structure of the mechanical heart, far beyond any machine she and her father had ever made before.

With the help of the copper ball, she removed the clockwork key from her back and installed a new heart in it. She knew that the Hextech-powered heart would never need to rely on anyone else's help.

She then slice open Colin's chest, replacing her father's failing heart with the last thing that Orianna had left in the world, which belonged to the one her father knew and loved.

Oriana spent the night listening to her father's steady heartbeat, and at dawn she left, which was a relief for both father and daughter.

Although she still loves her father, she wants to see the world even more. She had become a whole new person, a clockwork spirit, and now that she was completely mechanical, she had been freed.

Colin wakes up to find his workshop filled with hundreds of mechanical figures: some capable of walking tightropes, some singing folk tunes, and some even juggling balls. Such a luxurious stock of goods was enough for Colin to return to Piltover at once and make a comeback.

But there was one doll he vowed never to sell: a golden dancer with no clockwork jacks on her body, but she never stopped spinning and dancing.
