Felicia is Vi and Jinx’s mother!

Felicia was first introduced to viewers during Season 2 Episode 5, “Blisters and Bedrock” during a fight between Warwick, Jinx, and Vi. Having heard the monster call her by her real name, “Powder”, Jinx aimed to convince Vi that Warwick was indeed their father, Vander. After much fighting and hesitation, Vi lets down her guard and shouts, “Vander!”, sending Warwick into an immediate flashback.

The flashback features Vander as a bartender meeting a pregnant Felicia. At the bar, they are unsure of what to name their incoming baby girl. Vander then suggests naming the child “Violet,” which is Vi’s real name.

They talk about how they hope for a better future in Zaun through the leadership of Vander and Silco. However, it is later revealed that both Felicia and Connol, Jinx and Vi's father, passed away in the war between Piltover and Zaun, leaving Vander as the surrogate father to Jinx and Vi. While it is a sad moment to know that Felicia is no longer alive, it is a moment that leads to a reunion between Vander, Jinx, and Vi that reunites the estranged sisters in Arcane Season 2.
