Miss Fortune — League of Legends

During Burning Tides, Miss Fortune's carefully layered scheme culminates in the destruction of Gangplank's flagship, the Dead Pool, in Bilgewater's harbor. The explosion publicly topples the reaver king and appears to kill him. Sarah has achieved the spectacular humiliation she sought, but Gangplank survives with grievous injuries. His continued existence will make her apparent victory far less final than Bilgewater believes.

Gangplank's fall leaves competing captains fighting for his old territory, with civilians caught between them. Sarah uses the Syren and her allies to negotiate an uneasy truce, but rival leaders soon test her authority. In the Fortune Smiles comic, Bragg, Crow, and Petyr Harker conspire against her; the confrontation at MacGregan's Killhouse demonstrates how violently she will answer a challenge. She can remove a rival more quickly than she can create a stable government.

During the Harrowing depicted in Shadow and Fortune, undead forces descend upon an already unstable Bilgewater. Sarah helps defend the living and becomes involved with figures whose aims differ sharply from hers, including Lucian and the priestess Illaoi. Protecting the port from the Black Mist demands cooperation against a danger that cannot be settled with a bounty or a captain's bargain.

In Dead in the Water, a sea-burial gathering disguises a murderous scheme by rival captains. Sarah survives the trap, which brings her into the path of Nautilus, and Petyr Harker's plotting ends with his death. Other Bilgewater stories, including Destiny and Fate, also bring her into conflict with Graves and Twisted Fate. These episodes show how dangerous her position remains even after Gangplank loses his throne.

In Ruined King: A League of Legends Story, Sarah struggles to unite Bilgewater's rival crews. Her attempt to bring Captain Thorne into line ends in violence; an attack by the Black Mist then brings fresh losses among her own people. To avert a new Harrowing, she joins Illaoi, Ahri, Braum, Pyke, and Yasuo. Illaoi reveals that Gangplank survived the Dead Pool's destruction, and Sarah's pursuit of him threatens the fragile alliance.

The group confronts Gangplank and Viego's threat, eventually returning to defend Bilgewater. When Viego tempts Sarah with power and the possibility of recovering what she lost, she rejects him and helps seal the Ruined King inside an amulet. But Gangplank escapes captivity during the crisis. Rather than end her hunt, Sarah intensifies her campaign against his remaining supporters, disturbing the uneasy understanding she has reached with Illaoi.

In the Rise of the Sentinels event's Bilgewater chapter, Sarah is depicted accepting Viego's power while fighting to maintain her control of the city. That portrayal differs sharply from her refusal of his offer in Ruined King. Riot later explained that the 2021 Sentinels story was told in several versions with inconsistent details, and identified a shared canonical core without separately confirming every scene involving Sarah. Her apparent choices in the event therefore need to be attributed to that version rather than flattened into a single unquestioned sequence.
