Development
- "Fabulista" was a name that kept popping up during the "Black Mist" promotional event for the Harrowing of the 2014 season that was used to promote the release of Kalista.
- Fabulista remained in the forums after posting his message; answering the questions of the "voices in his head" (The players).
- After a while, Fabulista began to refer to himself in plural pronouns; "We are the fallen", "We do not recognize the named", and "We will ruin those who are against us."
- During development, she was called the Spectral Legionnaire. [1]
- Over a year ago a 'prototype' of who would later become Kalista appeared on Reddit.
- Kalista was leaked by Redditor 'WhyRenektonWhy' (which also leaked Ultra Rapid Fire, Yasuo, and Gnar, and whose account has been terminated) a few weeks before his reveal.
- Kalista could come from a fusion of several inspirations, all from Greek mythology:
- The goddess of the hunt Artemis (her preferred weapon is spears) and Callisto, originally the epithet of Artemis "the most beautiful", then her devotee deceived by Zeus;
- The goddesses of revenge, the Erinyes;
- And the siege weapon of the ancient Greeks Ballista;
Lore
- Kalista is between 1050 and 1100 years old, born sometime before the ruin of the Blessed Islands.
- Kalista marked many traitors for execution during the Harrowing of 2014.
- Cassiopeia for backstabbing Sivir.
- Hecarim for his betrayal of her in the Blessed Isles.
- LeBlanc for helping the barbarian invaders against Mordekaiser and betray many others.
- Lissandra for murdering Avarosa for leading the rebellion against the Ice Watchers.
- Twisted Fate por abandonar a Graves to be imprisoned in the Cajon (Kalista is trying to convince the outlaw to surrender to his hatred despite being told by the Card Master that he and his crew tried to get him out, reconciling their differences and resolving the dispute)
- Xerath for conspiring against Azir and destroy ancient Shurima.
- Zed for murdering Kusho, the father of Shen, massacre the Kinkou Order, and found the Order of Shadows on the remains of their monastery.
- 'The Spirit of Vengeance' (the specter Kalista became after the Ruin) is a multitude of betrayed souls (hence she refers to herself as 'us'), while Kalista herself is buried deep beneath them all, with each new soul burying her deeper and deeper within the entity at that she has become.
Phrases

- "Give in to your hatred, Graves "could be referring to Palpatine from Star Wars (" Give in to your anger ")
- The " Snakes are creatures of treachery "could be referencing snakes' real-life association with cunning and treachery, as snakes often lurk stealthily and suddenly bite into large prey or even threats.
- Kalista and Kled share the quote "Die".
