"Welcome to the Playground"

**Jinx,** also known as **Powder,** is a major character from the animated Netflix series *Arcane*.

## Background

Jinx is an orphaned Zaunite. With her parent's deaths while she was very young, she and her sister Vi were taken in by Vander, the then-de facto leader and protector of the Lanes. When a series of events forces Jinx and her sister apart in more ways than one, she is fundamentally and irrevocably changed.

## Appearance

As a child, Jinx had pale skin, blue eyes and blue hair that she wore in a small braid. As a teenager, Jinx wore her hair in two long braids and her eyes became pink after being injected shimmer. Her color palette consists of pink and blue, perhaps an indication of her identity crisis, and whether she is Jinx or Powder.

## Personality

As a little girl, Powder was shy and sweet, but was also clumsy and prone to making mistakes. This and a sad case of middle child syndrome sparked irritation from her older brother Mylo who referred to her as a jinx. She greatly admired her older sister Vi and saw her as a role model. She was also quite creative and enjoyed making different kinds of inventions, mostly bombs, though they usually failed to work. She also showed how skilled she was with a gun, often beating her best friend, Ekko, when the two of them played together.

After enduring the death of her family and her sister's abandonment, Powder adopted the identity of Jinx. Jinx is a mentally stunted teen (assumed) who enjoys reeking chaos wherever she goes and blowing things up. She is loud and ecstatic and often torments others and shows no remorse for hurting or killing others. Despite this havoc nature, she is quite smart and is shone to have improved on her bomb making skills. Despite her loud, crazy persona, she is shown to be struggling mentally and shows an incredible amount of guilt for accidentally killing her family. She is also shown to have abandonment issues after Vi left her, after the death of her family. Her personality is heavily influenced by her childhood trauma.

## Disability

Jinx has an unspecified mentall illness and trauma disorder.

It is heavily implied that she suffers from schizophrenia, a mental illness that causes people to see and hear things that aren't real. She often feels stuck in a world warped through her own anxieties. She also might suffer from borderline personality disorder, a mental condition that causes you to have intense emotions, mood swings and highly impulsive behaviors, and PTSD.
