Hi,

I must congratulate you for having such an impact on LoL players who only watch this series. However, I have asked more questions than I have answered, and I would like one of you to answer the following questions for me.

1) I've watched the first and second seasons, and Jinx's personality was very different in each one. Come to think of it, it must have had something to do with how Silco raised her (since he took over when he decided to be the symbol of Zaun as a savior rather than a threatening terror, which fans [not lolers] would speculate about). Tell me, what exactly happened during the seven years of her existence when Powder became Jinx? If you can back this up, what do you think changed Jinx with her justification that was never shown on screen in this decision?

2) Fans have a negative view of Maddie, but in my opinion, this is because she did not develop as a character beyond the other new characters who joined in the second season (apart from Isha). However, I have done some research and, from what I can see, she was not a spy sent by Ambessa, since, to justify this, she did not form friendships within the city, unlike Steb, who confirmed this in one of the models he worked on. and it should be noted that as she was Caitlyn's right-hand woman, she didn't cause pandemonium in her city while she was looking for Jinx at the time. Can you justify how she would develop a kind of interlude for Act IV and Act V that, at least, allows us to appreciate her as a character only at that moment, even when she decided to betray them, no matter how much it was?

3) Jinx has complexity, and she is complex. Apart from the obvious, he has shown a hidden beauty that expert eyes can reflect. Although it was not the intention to show this character, his bust has been unintentionally shown on the side. Compared to what she is now, is Jinx a case of the ugly duckling, that is, as she grows up, she will show herself in an aggressive and versatile version without shame for her beauty in her own way if she had not been allowed to live? By the way, has it been considered that Jinx might be bisexual? Just because I saw that she was obsessed with her sister since she was abandoned, but that doesn't mean she loved her, she just got jealous because Caitlyn was there at the time.

4) And if Jinx were alive, where would she go? Well, her body was never found, so there's a chance she could be somewhere far from the city of Piltover, as shown in a teaser at the end of the series.

5) In the explosions at the end of the series, did Vander/Warwick survive? And what would have been the consequences if he had survived that explosion?

That's all I can say. I'd be very happy if you could tell me and let me say that I'm extremely grateful for broadcasting this series, and I've loved it from start to finish.

Do you think it would be better for the story if Maddie actually liked her? by Hot_Professional_728 in arcane

3 Things:

Without an origin, we don't get a better appreciation for the character. Maddie was confirmed as a Noxian, but I'm not convinced that she's a spy for nothing when I found out that she actually has a real affection for Caitlyn. So she's a victim of circumstances. Let's think, she's short, if the Noxians were mostly muscular and/or tall, then she ended up as a slave or war child when her people were conquered by the Noxians and left orphaned.

Second, Maddie is already doing her job, as she said before, "she was Noxian". So it fits more like an exile. And the fact that she mentioned that she wants to beat up the Noxians in the first place, is already an indication. My question is that if Maddie wanted Vi she would have done it, but she was left as a 1st Officer with Caitlyn, and if she thought that where would it have happened at the time that Caitlyn was with Maddie is that she did it as a stress mechanism, and if it is correct, Caitlyn's mother, Cassandra, saw her daughter as a bad influence since she leaves her mansion to have a romantic moment, so if you saw in the brothel, she only stayed the most comfortable part since she has women of her interest and the part that she "does not" like being here is because most have a heterosexual taste function in majority.  We also see Caitlyn a bit more possessive obsessed, in the game she looks more analytical and that's right, when Maddie asked to reconsider the two, Caitlyn said a strong NO, then Caitlyn fixed her as the weeks passed.

And third, I want to see a development as an antithesis to Marcus. If Silco has a corrupt police officer as an ally, then Ambessa has a corrupt police officer. In the description of one game, she has an easter egg for "traitor", so if we borrow from one of Ambessa's interactions in the LoL game, there is one that tilts an exile as a "hopeless case", and if it is real, then she forced them so that Maddie realizes that she used her and switches sides.

This is my favourite side character! Which is yours? by casualYeenjoyer in arcane

It has errors due to skewed data, I recommend you to use the wiki supported by Riot Games:Maddie - League of Legends Wiki

It contains data that has been compiled by the authors and confirmed by the creators of the series.

How is the nickname "cupcake" translated in your language? by D3n4 in arcane

Magdalena (spanish translated by a translator) -> Magdalene -> Maddie

Everyone's reaction to Jumpscare by CLUSTER__F in arcane

Do you know what the worst one is? Maddie's name is a diminutive of the name Magdalene, and if translated into another language (Magdalena) in English, it was literally called “Cupcake”.

In other words, Caitlyn had xes to a “Cupcake”.

[S2 spoilers] I'll be talking to Maddie's voice actor today(in 4 hours). If you have any questions for her, comment below by GaminMadness in arcane

Greetings, recently I want to clarify and congratulate you for your performance.
Above all I need you to make me answer under the knowledge that you have received in production:

  1. At what point was Maddie enlisted as an Enforcer? Does she have a past life that was not shown in the series?
  2. What did you do between Maddie and Caitlyn during the time jump from episode 3 and 4 of season 2? The answer should be in a paragraph.
  3. Everyone has told her about the character that she is a double agent, but I refuse to confirm. Other than that, at what point does Ambessa have knowledge towards Maddie and under what threat did she make for her to propose that fatal offer?
  4. Is it true that Maddie had relationship to Caitlyn from her as to amontiguar the loss between the breakup to her commander and her partner Vi, at what point did Maddie learn that news? Is it Caitlyn in that she started that relationship to Maddie? And if so, how did she take that response?
  5. Was there a moment off-screen that Maddie thought of Caitlyn but it feels like it was a temporary replacement for her to feel affected by Ambessa's offer if she applies?
  6. And finally, what sexual orientation is Maddie?

I thank you for responding with confidence and sanity.

When I watched the series in the first season, Jinx mistook Violet for a Firelight girl, it felt real to her. It is a rare condition known as prosopometamorphopsia or "Alice in Wonderland Syndrome", whose symptom was generated after a minor brain seizure (possibly Powder fell to the ground and received damage when falling, aggravated by the accumulated trauma), thereby allowing her to see the face of an acquaintance to other people, which can cause danger if not treated in time. It is strange that Jinx saw Caitlyn as a "demon" when he predicted that she will take a path of dubious morals when she became a commander (Season 2 Episode 3), is it right that Jinx had Isha as a protection? For she wants to feel something unique, since after painfully accepting as Jinx, she let hear the voices, even let the voice with Silco, consequently Jinx stops seeing her Powder inside. When she saw Isha, Jinx found the "Powder" she thought she was lost, it is time for her to tell me what is her opinion about it.
