LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WIKI SERIES

As established in the lore written by Graham McNeill, Jinx was once a young innocent girl from Zaun, the seedy underbelly of the utopian city of Piltover. Jinx was added as a playable champion to the marksman roster of League of Legends in October 2013. Ella Purnell voices Jinx in the series, while Mia Sinclair Jenness voices a younger version of the character in Act 1. The first season was released on Netflix in November 2021.

Jinx's origin was later expanded upon when she was adapted by Christian Linke and Alex Yee for the animated streaming series Arcane. Sarah Anne Williams provided the character's voice for most of the games and videos she featured in. Jinx would officially join League of Legends in the October 2013 update. To commemorate Jinx's in-game debut, an animated music video starring the character titled 'Get Jinxed' was released on the League of Legends YouTube channel. The Joker, Gollum, and actress Helena Bonham Carter served as primary inspirations for Jinx's character.

They avoided giving her a ' sexy persona' and instead depicted her as a pale and slender woman who wielded disproportionately oversized weapons to make her stand out from other female League champions. The character was given the codename 'Psycho Arsenal' and remained on the board for months until August Browning, seeking to make a weapon-swapping ADC, decided to develop her with De Sousa, while her backstory was written by Graham McNeill. De Sousa was also a fan of 'Attack Damage Carry' (ADC), a term used to describe champions that deal high levels of continuous damage in matches. De Sousa wanted to create a 'completely insane female villain who is beyond any kind of reform or rehabilitation' for League of Legends. Illustrator Katie De Sousa posted conceptual artwork of the 'gun-toting, braid-rocking criminal' that would ultimately become Jinx on a bulletin board for potential ideas at Riot Games. Her portrayal in Arcane has garnered critical acclaim. Jinx has become one of the franchise's most popular and iconic characters since her introduction. The Netflix animated series Arcane explores the character's origin story as Powder, Vi's younger sister who, following a series of family tragedies, is taken in and raised by the crime lord Silco. Jinx is depicted as a manic and impulsive criminal from Zaun who serves as the archenemy of the Piltover enforcer Vi.
