Jinx is a character in Riot Games' video game League of Legends and its associated media franchise. She first appeared in the music video "Get Jinxed" to commemorate her official debut as a playable champion in the game's October 2013 update. Jinx is depicted as a manic and impulsive criminal from Zaun who serves as the archenemy of the Piltover enforcer Vi. The 2021 Netflix animated streaming 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 has become one of the franchise's most popular and iconic characters since her introduction. Her portrayal in Arcane has garnered acclaim from critics and fans. Concept and creation Illustrator Katie De Sousa posted conceptual artwork of the "gun-toting, braid-rocking criminal" that would end up being Jinx on a bulletin board for potential ideas at Riot Games. De Sousa wanted to create a "completely insane female villain who is beyond any kind of reform or rehabilitation" for League of Legends. 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. 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 work on her with De Sousa. 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 Joker, Gollum, and actress Helena Bonham Carter served as primary inspirations for Jinx's character. Jinx's backstory was written by Graham McNeill. To commemorate her in-game debut, a music video starring the character titled "Get Jinxed" was released on the League of Legends YouTube channel. Jinx would officially join League of Legends in the October 2013 update. Sarah Anne Williams provided Jinx's voice for most of the games and videos she featured in. The character's origin was later expanded upon when she was adapted by Christian Linke and Alex Yee for the animated series Arcane. The first season was released on Netflix in November 2021. Ella Purnell voices Jinx in the series, while Mia Sinclair Jenness voices a younger version of the character in Act 1. Appearances League of Legends Jinx was added as
