## **History**

### **Jinx: 1995 - 2005**

The girl known as Jinx was born in the slums of Delhi, India — supposedly not far from the 'scarred lands' created by the intrinsic explosion of 1987. Her mother was in the Cult of Limbo she was the woman who was supposed to engaged in a ritualist mating ceremony with the demon Trigon sadly fell in bed with the cult's priest. The child resulting from this ritual was intended to be an anchor for Trigon on Earth, but due to these events derailed the plan. Losing the support of their infernal patron, the Cult of Trigon broke apart and Jinx grew up in the streets with little memory of her life in the cult.

Not knowing what happened to her mother or even recalling what she looked like, Jinx fell in with a gang of street kids. She learned to pick pockets and shoplift to survive. Her unusual appearance drew attention, often unwanted attention. Other street kids picked on her, often blaming her for their failures and calling her a curse. She did not let that get to her and instead embraced it, choosing to call herself Jinx.

### **Jinx: 1995 - Present**

By the time she was ten years old, Jinx was the lieutenant to a young gang leader a couple years older than her. She became handy with a knife and would lead a few kids her age in some extortion schemes, usually cornering people at night and harassing them until they paid or offered up their valuables in exchange for safety.

But that was not the lifestyle that satisfied Jinx. She had bigger plans and began to concoct confidence schemes and plans to turn bigger profits than the pocket change they were hurting people for. When she shared her plans with her boss, Jinx was rejected... repeatedly.

When she was twelve, she just about had enough and was closed to leaving the gang and setting out of her own. That is when her outfit lured a strange blonde man into a corner and made the bad decision to threaten him. With a wave of his hand and an uttered word from an ancient tongue, Jinx's friends were turned into rats that scurried away. Jinx herself was unchanged, much to the surprise of both the man and herself.

Before she could flee, the man grabbed Jinx and disarmed her with the deft tactical motions of a seasoned killer. He dragged her into the light and asked her how she blocked his magic. Jinx said she didn't know. The man took a moment to get a good look at her pink hair, gray skin, and the markings on her arms. With a devious grin, the man laughed and said: "Ah, foolish me. You're not a mere street rat, are you? You're a princess."

The man left her there and walked away. Jinx was stunned, not only by his cryptic message but also his sudden departure. She followed him from a distance as he carried out a few stops in the darkest hour of the night. When he retired back to his hotel suite, he paused at his door to tell her he knew she was shadowing him and asked if she'd like some food or a bath.

After a long shower, Jinx was treated to a hearty gourmet meal. Between bites, she told her tale of woe to the man who called himself Mr. Darhk.

## **Trivia**

* Not much is known about Jinx's personal history prior to her joining the Holistic Integration for Viral Equality movement. What little we do know is entirely provided by Jinx herself so please take this with a grain of salt.
* Raven and I had been fighting Jinx and the Fearsome Five for nearly a decade before we discovered that she and Raven were half-sisters. How we didn't see that before astonishes me. I mean, we knew she had the same tattoos as Raven and had similar magic, but I guess we just never thought that Trigon had more than one kid. Man, we were wrong...
* The markings on Jinx's arms are binding wards. They bind her to the service of Trigon. Though they look like tattoos, they are actually magical manifestations, placed on her during her conception ritual. The bindi gem on her forehead was given to her by Damien Darhk. Much like the gem Raven wears, this represents the third eye and helps stabilize Jinx's internal psychic energies. This gem gives Jinx greater ability to resist the demonic impulses that cloud her mind, thereby counteracting the wards on her arms while also allowing her to retain the esoteric perks of her infernal heritage. Though the gems do help, when Trigon is encountered in person and at full power, the gems are basically useless.
