A manic and impulsive criminal from Zaun, Jinx lives to wreak havoc without care for the consequences. With an arsenal of deadly weapons, she unleashes the loudest blasts and brightest explosions to leave a trail of mayhem and panic in her wake. Jinx despises boredom and gleefully brings her own chaotic brand of pandemonium wherever she goes.
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.

Personality

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 learned how to create numerous contraptions and weapons with her own creativity and ingenuity.
- Pow-Pow: A machine gun of her own design, this would be Jinx's primary weapon during her usual escapades around Piltover and Zaun.

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.
