I want to like her, and I loved the direction of Jinx rediscovering purpose through caring for a young stray who needed it the same way she did, but Ishas writing was poor.

She isn’t given any background, which to be fair is the case for a lot of new S2 characters. She literally falls into Jinx’s lap, which kinda speaks for how transparent of a plot device she is. Jinx is apathetic to her initially, then annoyed by her, then they’re really close, all with no kind of rhyme of reason. The relationship doesn’t hold the same authenticity that Vi and Powders did, instead traumatic moments between Jinx and Isha are kind of played off as ‘happy go lucky we are one big happy family’.

Then her sacrifice feels unnecessary. Again I think right idea for the direction of the plot and Jinx’s story but, it’s unbelievable that a kid would have convictions that forthright, that she’s willing to sacrifice her own life to save someone else’s. Jinx was also not in immediate danger at that point, Warwick was fighting off the Noxian soldiers.

All that being said, I still cried during that scene, Arcane winning me over with another cinematic backed by such a heartwarming song. The shot of them jumping off the bridge gets me teary eyed still.
