| “ | You wanna know a secret? Silco thinks he made "Jinx". With all his rants and his hard-won lessons. Excise your doubts, Jinx... Be what they fear, Jinx! Like everything was the same as when Vander left him. But he didn't make "Jinx"... You did. | „ |
Summary
Jinx, born as Powder, is a notorious Zaunite criminal and Vi's younger sister. When she was a little girl, her parents were killed in a failed uprising against Piltover, leading Vander, the upspoken leader of the undercity, to adopt both her and Vi as his own daughters. After a series of events forced Jinx and her sister apart in more ways than one, she was fundamentally and irrevocably changed, transforming her into the crazed killer she is today.

Despite not having any formal education, Jinx is a highly capable engineer, having created numerous weapons and devices with her own creativity and ingenuity, even devising a crude method of weaponizing a Hex gem into a makeshift bomb when she was only a child.[5] Her devices have been described as crude brilliance by Viktor and Jayce, with its inner mechanisms being so complicated to go through that they nearly died trying to disarm it. Jayce later theorized that Jinx could very well crack the mysteries of Hextech,[2] and true to his theory, she did, quickly reverse engineering Hextech to use as a weapon with only the aid of a Jayce's highly complicated research journal, demonstrating the ability to properly utilize Hextech gemstones in a device as well as rudimentary knowledge of the runes required to do so[2]
While not as skilled in hand to hand combat as her sister, Jinx has some close-quarters combat skill, her fighting having been ranked just below teenage Vi's in proficiency when measured on their old combat trainer,[2] and though she is demonstrably less honed than Vi, her reliance on using her speed and dexterity to outmaneuver her opponents in combat. She is also capable in using Pow Pow as an improvised bludgeoning weapon to a high degree of success and surprising accuracy.[1] Despite primarily wielding imprecise weapons such as a minigun and a rocket launcher, Jinx has shown the ability to use both with a surprising level of precision, able to shoot incoming projectiles out of the air with ease and hit flying targets moving at high speeds with little issue,[1] as well as accurately hitting small targets from kilometers away with her rockets.[6] Even as a child she was a skilled enough marksman to be able to hit dozens of bullseyes in rapid succession against numerous moving targets, all within a span of a few seconds while wielding a pistol.[8] She is able to utilize her grenades with similar accuracy as well as utilize them with a surprising amount of stealth, regularly clamping multiple grenades to people's bodies or equipment at once without them knowing it until its too late[9][1]
Weaknesses: Can be severely mentally unstable to the point of experiencing vivid hallucinations if she is presented with something that reminds her of her past
