PERSONALITY
Jinx is like a firework oh, oh, oh. Loud, exploding art across the sky, and fizzling out slowly, with left behind debris.


She's a lot at once. Stunning, bright, incredibly intelligent. She's terrified of being abandoned, will go to nasty, reckless lengths to prevent it, and usually immensely regret her snappish decisions. Her violent outbursts are now made worse with the shimmer backing her, and her already emotional instability feeds into the shimmer-fueled state with it being a terrible cycled concoction within her that she struggles to keep in check.


She fears getting close to anyone because (as has been proven on numerous occasions), everyone that gets close to her always dies, somehow by her own hand.


VOICE
Hoarse, raspy, easy rhythm. When she's in a good mood she's very boisterous and excitable, but on the flip side when she's morose it's lulled and an unsteady rumble. It can sharpen though, just like a blade. Quick, erratic cadence. [ 1 | 2 | 3 ]

MIND
Unstable. It's been this way since she was a child, and the trauma of the rebellion taking away her parents, though the hallucinations back then were less severe. It's exacerbated by fear of abandonment and worthlessness by her sister leaving her behind when the kids go to save Vander (something that later haunts Jinx when it comes to Isha and the choice she made there), and worsening when she kills her entire family with one of her inventions. Vi calls her a jinx (something Mylo had previously called her) and blames her, leaving her behind once more.


Jinx continually throughout her life is haunted by her family, with Mylo and Claggor being the loudest, though she told Vi that she always saw and heard her.


Appearance
PHYSICAL
Jinx cut her long hair down so that it's roughly very short fringe to the left side of her head and long bangs cupping her chin to the right. It's blue with a purple streak in the bangs. Her eyes are violet from the influence of shimmer. She has pale blue cloud tattoos down her right arm, back, and torso (likely all the way down her right side), on very pale skin.

Very faint veins around her eyes permanently visible after the stress of her Shimmer operation.

Lips are stained a deep purple, and her fingernails have alternating pink and blue polish.

On her left hand, her middle finger is a prosthetic.

CLOTHING
She wears a black sleeveless leather crop top (shortened) over a white tank. Her usual distressed purple striped trousers have been cut back to just a cuff wrapped over her left leg, instead wearing a pair of simple black pants. She has long asymmetrical skin-tight fingerless black gloves on both her hands and has a cuff of a similarly striped purple over her left arm. This is not only from her previous outfit, but was repurposed from her original outfit as a child.

Necklace of several loops of leather cord.

Tall steel-toed leather boots with multiple different colored lacing patterns (pink, red, green) and various buckles.

She is covered head to toe in numerous brightly-colored paint streaks and various sketched designs.

tl;dr: covered in a lot of paint on a regular basis, white tank top, black pants, black boots, a lot of belts

Skills & Abilities

MARKSMANSHIP: capable of using any type of gun, exceptional accuracy (when she's focused)

FIGHTER: while not as good as her sister at hand-to-hand combat, even before the Shimmer injection she was dexterous and had an awareness of her surroundings, being very good at dodging and quick, harried attacks

INTELLIGENCE: has been building devices and weaponry since she was a child; was able to work out Jayce Talis' notes on the hextech and implement it into her own weapon

SHIMMER-ENHANCED PHYSICALITY: Enhanced strength, speed, endurance (at the cost of shakier-than-previous mental health); notably her speed is her highest enhancement as that was where she excelled pre-Shimmer, causing her to move almost like she's flashing across. She can keep ahead of numerous tankier fighters for awhile before their brute strength can pin her down. [ pre-shimmer | post-shimmer (spoilers) ]
