    "I thought maybe you could love me liked you used to. Even though I'm... different. But you changed too. So, here's to the new us." As a little girl, Powder was shy and sweet, but clumsy and prone to mistakes. This, combined with typical middle-child struggles, often sparked irritation from her older "brother" Mylo, who mockingly called her a jinx. She deeply admired her sister Vi, her only biological family, viewing her as both a role model and a parental figure. While she lacked Vi's physical strength, Powder was highly creative and spent much of her time building inventions, mainly bombs and small explosives. These early creations were unreliable and only became effective later in her teens. Despite her quiet, timid nature, she showed surprising skill with firearms and outperformed Ekko and Mylo on several occasions. Powder also experienced intense emotional reactions, especially when threatened with abandonment; this trait continued into her later life. After witnessing the deaths of her family and being left behind by her sister, Powder fractured and adopted the persona of Jinx. Her new identity combined warmth, psychosis, and sadism in a deeply unstable mix. As a teenager, she became unpredictable and merciless, showing no compassion toward her enemies or anyone she considered a threat. Jinx proved herself to be incredibly intelligent, both in combat and in designing weapons. While she had always felt emotions strongly, her grief, guilt, and feelings of abandonment intensified her hallucinations, rage, and panic attacks. Depending on the trigger, she might react with aggression, such as shooting at Vi and Caitlyn on the bridge, or attempt extreme acts to gain approval, like attacking the council and stealing a Hextech gemstone to prove her worth to Silco after failing to protect a Shimmer shipment. Despite her cruelty and instability, Jinx still experienced joy. This was seen when she hugged Silco after presenting the stolen gemstone, or when she jokingly stuck a paint-filled grenade on Chuck. Her behavior often revealed a spontaneous, childlike quality, suggesting that Jinx was still, in many ways, the same girl Powder had been. She frequently claimed that Powder was gone and only Jinx remained, but she continued to reach for her sister. Even through all the change, she seemed to long for Vi’s love and recognition. Jinx carried the burden of guilt over the deaths of Vander and her foster brothers and resented Vi for leaving her behind. Silco reinforced this belief, unaware that Vi had survived, because Sheriff Marcus had kept her imprisonment a secret. Although Silco tried to help Jinx cope with her past, Vi remained the source of her greatest emotional conflict. Silco’s death and the events surrounding the dinner deepened her self-hatred. Her time with Isha gave her the chance to experience something she had been denied: moments of sisterhood and connection that the chaos of Zaun had stolen. Despite Jinx’s rough edges and erratic nature, Isha stayed with her and even protected her from Vi. While she still retained her sarcasm, defiance, and fighting instinct, her trauma became quieter. She sometimes visited Silco’s empty chair, as if trying to talk to him. When Sevika informed her that Isha had been captured and imprisoned, Jinx suffered a breakdown accompanied by hallucinations.Sevika later accused Jinx of neglecting her role as a symbol of Zaun’s rebellion. Jinx lashed out but began to recognize the way the people of Zaun looked up to her. She started to understand the importance of the imagery and symbolism attached to her identity. A confrontation with Vander, now transformed into a monstrous werewolf by agonizing experiments conducted by Singed, brought her face to face with Vi once more.
