Jinx (Ella Purnell) gained a new child companion in Arcane Season 2, but the child’s origins and identity are still very mysterious. The long-awaited second season of Arcane brought as many surprises as the end of Arcane the first season did, and one of the most unusual was a new companion for Jinx. Almost all of the characters in Arcane hate or tolerate Jinx, but her new friend seems to be the only person who really likes her after what happened with Silco in Arcane. Such a unique character will certainly be important to the final two acts of ArcaneThat’s why it’s important to know them.
Although Arcane is setting up the boy to be an important part of Jinx’s story, but it also introduced a number of other new characters. From the new enforcers joining Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Caitlin’s (Katie Leung) strike team to the new threats from the Black Rose organization, Arcane It’s getting bigger by the minute. With so many moving pieces, however, there wasn’t much time to get to know the new characters, and they remained largely mysterious. None of them are as mysterious as the child, but Arcane revealed a little about them.
New Arcane Character: Jinx Saves a Child Who Becomes Her Shadow
Jinx saved the child – Isha – from Chross, one of the Chemical Barons
In Arcane Season 2, Episode 2, Jinx saved a child (identified as Isha in the credits) who was being chased by Chross’s men during the power struggle between the chemical barons. Isha fell from a pipe while fleeing, landed on Jinx’s head, and shot her attackers. Afterwards, the boy began following Jinx and intervened to save her from both Smeech’s attack and Jinx’s ambush she set up for Vi and Caitlin in Arcane Season 2, Episode 3. Not much else is known about Isha other than the fact that they wear mining helmets and goggles, and are extremely loyal to Jinx.
Who could be the boy in League Of Legends
Isha could be a disguised Ziggs, Ajuna Lem, or an entirely new character
There are two existing League of Legends characters Isha could potentially be. They could be Ziggs, a yordle like Heimerdinger. Ziggs befriended Jinx after leaving his place at Piltover’s gym. In League of Legends According to lore, yordles sometimes used glamour, a substance that made them look like short humans. This would explain why Ziggs appeared to be a human child, but glamor has recently been decanonized. Alternatively, they could be Ajuna Lem, the child from the Sumpsnipe Scavenger card in Legends of Runeterra. Ajuna was friends with Ekko, not Jinx, and he died in a canon comic, so neither option seems perfect.
Therefore, it seems more likely that Isha is a new character created for Arcane 2nd season. The child will likely be used to add even more depth to Jinx’s story and potentially even let her become a mother figure, much like Silco became a father figure to her. Isha could also be used to make Jinx less villainous and give her even more moral complexity as she protects and cares for them. Even though they remain a mystery, Isha seems like an interesting addition to the Arcane season 2.
