Background
Early Life
Jinx grew up in Zaun as an innocent girl who was good at tinkering with machinery and never quite fit in. However, a tragedy changed her into a completely different person who delighted in acts of destruction.
Contemporary History
Jinx eventually became a widely known criminal, first gaining notoriety through her anonymous “pranks” on the citizens of 
Piltover, particularly those with connections to the wealthy merchant clans. These pranks ranged from mildly annoying to extremely dangerous, causing chaos and mayhem throughout Piltover and Zaun. Law enforcement attributed these to other gangs in Zaun, and Jinx was annoyed by this, deciding to make it clear that her future "pranks" were going to clearly mark her as their perpetrator from then on. Soon, word of her began to spread around and she became the most widely known criminal in Piltover and Zaun, causing mayhem and destruction wherever she went.
Recent events
Jinx continues to cause mayhem around Piltover and Zaun wherever and whenever she can with seemingly no regard for the property damage or potential victims she would create, only occasionally being thwarted by enforcer 
Vi or 
the sheriff.
Appearance
Jinx is a slender, sinewy, and light-skinned woman. She wears common punk street fashion typical for Zaunite youth. Her most noticeable features are her tattoos of stylized clouds, pink eyes, and natural blue hair.
Personality
Jinx is an eccentric inventor and criminal, taking pleasure in inventing and causing mayhem and destruction. She has become the most notorious and feared criminal in Zaun and Piltover, delighting in her criminal activities.
Abilities
- Chemically Altered Physiology: As many of Zaunite youth, Jinx has dabbled in shimmer, which changed her physical appearance and mental deteriorated state. It is possible it affected her physical strength and durability.
- Inventor: While not having any formal education, Jinx would ultimately learn how to create numerous contraptions and weapons with her own creativity and ingenuity. She is also capable of quickly reverse engineering technology with just the aid of a research journal, being able to properly utilize hextech gemstones in a device.
Pow-Pow: A machine gun of her own design, this would be Jinx's primary weapon during her usual escapades around Piltover and Zaun.- Fishbones: This rocket cannon has a chemtech payload known as Super Mega Rockets, which is enabled it to shoot great distances.
- Zapper: A gun that shoots lightning arcs, it's able to stun any person targeted.
- Chompers: The chompers have a chemtech payload inside them. Disarming one can prove to be dangerous, as its inner mechanisms are difficult to go through due to their random scrapheap design.
- Mr. Sparkles: A laser cannon or rocket launcher. After she tried modifying it with the stolen hextech core in Piltover it launched itself out of her hands and landed in Zaun, being destroyed from the impact.
Relations
Vi
Vi, as an enforcer, is dedicated to capturing Jinx at all costs. Jinx once painted a rude depiction of Vi on the wall of the Ecliptic Vaults, one of Piltover's most secure treasuries. Jinx and Vi may have a deeper connection with each other, but this connection is unknown, if it exists at all.
Ekko
| “ | "I had a crush… until you started talking to the gun." |
—  Ekko to Jinx
| |
 |
Jinx seemingly shows no signs of knowing Ekko, despite Ekko stating that he knew Jinx and had a crush on her when they were kids.
Caitlyn Kiramman
Caitlyn as the sheriff of Piltover is dedicated to arresting Jinx for her many crimes around Piltover and Zaun.
Zigmund
Meeting Ziggs during her regular escapades around Zaun, she quickly saw through his yordle glamour, believing him to be a product of her imagination, more specifically, her conscience. Due to their shared love for explosions, Jinx convinced Ziggs to live with her in Zaun after a night of hijinks.

Oh, they say I'm crazy -- they say that Yordles would be easy to spot in a city such as ours, what with their fuzzy countenances and diminutive stature. But I've heard rumors that they have invented some sort of magical charms that make these abominations appear no different from you or I. But don't be fooled! No matter how adorable they may seem, these mischievous creatures will bring our city of Piltover to ruin! If I were so moved, I'd say they're an even bigger threat than those lunatic terrorists from Zaun! But I'm getting ahead of myself. Our story starts in a small pyrotechnics shop in Piltover, run by two unnervingly fuzzy gentlemen...

Starring: Jinx
Mentioned: Ziggs
Trivia
- While Jinx's real name, Powder, was only officially confirmed in the Arcane universe, 4Ekko calls her Powder in his Legends of Runeterra interactions with 4Jinx.
- Before the release of Arcane, Vi and Jinx were often theorized by the community to be sisters. The reference to this on Jinx's release was her quote, "You think I'm crazy? You should see my sister". Though there was never any implication that the sister was Vi, players equated Jinx's antagonisation of Vi specifically as "sisterly bonding".
- Incidentally, Jinx only antagonized Vi specifically on English-speaking servers. Other servers showed her antagonizing other champions, such as Lucian.
- Hermit later says to Vi, "You look like your sister! Er, wait, I'm not supposed to talk about that...". This could be a confirmation that Vi has a sister, but could also be an example of Lyte repeating rumors he's heard from players (such as the rumor he heard from players that Lux and Ezreal were dating, which Lux herself later denied after hearing the rumor).
- There is a significant indication that the pair did grow up together, however. With Vi currently suffering from amnesia, Jinx has taken it upon herself to try and trigger her memories.
- In an interview with Ghostcrawler, he mentioned that Jinx and Vi are "sisters", but later confirmed he was merely stating what he thought was true, and that the narrative team said otherwise.
- Incidentally,
- Jinx is around 20s, being around 5 years younger than Vi.
- Warwick may have encountered Jinx at some point in the past.
