In Arcane’s first season fans learned the origin and tragic meaning of Jinx’s name. In season two, they discover the story behind Violet’s name with a flashback. But there’s no official name origin story to Powder, which has sparked fans to create their own theories, some humorous and others connected to the show’s nuanced lore.
Arcane delves deep into the origins of many League of Legends characters, tying the story of two cities to that of two sisters, Vi and Jinx. While fans learned Vander’s fondness for the name Violet gave the pink-haired sister her name, the same can’t be said for Powder. Her name’s origins have remained a mystery, leaving fans to come up with their own imaginative explanations on social media.
