“Volatile explosives are a girl’s best friend.”
Have you ever heard of a loose cannon?

Jinx was an innocent, sweet girl, who grew up in Zaun. She loved playing with machinery, but she never really fit in. only when a terrible tragedy changed her completely into a different person who loves chaos and destruction.
Eventually, Jinx became an extensively known criminal by playing anonymous pranks on the citizens of Piltover, especially those who had connections to the city’s ruling houses.
Her pranks soon went from being somewhat annoying to extremely dangerous, causing disorder throughout Piltover and Zaun.
Law enforcement thought these events were caused by other gangs in Zaun, but Jinx didn’t like that and decided to put her mark on the next pranks in the future.
Soon enough, the word began to spread around, and Jinx became widely known as the cause of destruction and disorder in both cities.
