Who is Isha in Arcane Season 2?

Netflix released the first episodes of Arcane Season 2 and Isha is one of the new characters introduced to the League of Legends-inspired show.

Isha is a young girl who appeared for the first time in Arcane during Season 2, Episode 2 "Watch It All Burn".

Arcane introduces Isha by showing her running from thugs in Zaun, the Undercity. They corner Isha, but she bites one of the criminals.

The young girl keeps running from them and bravely jumps from one tunnel to another to escape. However, Isha loses her grip and curiously falls on Jinx, who was wandering right underneath her.

When the thugs get to Isha and Jinx, the latter protects her unceremoniously shooting all three criminals.

"You feel it, that buzzing behind your eyes," Jinx asks Isha, after killing the criminals. "Because you know, in a moment, it could all… poow. Best feeling in the world, kid."

Isha then realizes that Jinx is the most wanted criminal in Piltover, but instead of running away, she proceeds to follow Jinx.

The first interaction of Jinx and Isha, in our opinion, highlights two things:

Later on, Isha most notably saves Jinx from being killed by Vi in Season 2, Episode 3 "Finally Got the Name Right." The little girl jumps in front of Vi and threatens to pull the trigger, making Caitlyn fire her rifle. This doesn't scare Isha and she continues to hold on to Jinx despite Caitlyn explicitly trying to kill her.

The relationship between Jinx and Isha strengthens in the beginning of Episode 4 "Paint the Town Blue" to the point that Jinx is a parental figure to Isha. The little girl dyes her hair in blue like Jinx and start attacking Piltover as Jinx has gone under the radar.

While the Zaunites were rallying at Vander's statue, the Piltover enforcers and Noxian military arrive and start arresting everybody, including Isha.

Jinx come out of her hideout to free the Zaunites alongside Sevika. After the plan succeeds, Jinx tell Sevika to take Isha to safety as Warwick crashes the scene. Before Episode 4 ends, Jinx realizes Warwick is Vander and he realizes that Jinx is Powder.

Isha and Jinx decide to look for Vi in Episode 5 "Blisters and Bedrock" to tell her that Vander is alive. Jinx and Vi successfuly reunite and they track down Vander alongside Isha, forming a new family.

In Episode 6 "The Message Hidden Within the Pattern," they bring Vander to Viktor but Ambessa and Jayce crash the scene. Warwick loses his mind and Vander's personality, and start attacking everybody.

Isha attempts to save Jinx and aims her weapon powered with Hextech toward Warwick. Despite Jinx running to stop her, the little girl pulls the trigger and a huge explosion happens.

Arcane never acknowledged Isha in any of the Act 3 episodes, so unfortunately we have to assume that she died in that sacrifice.

On top of appearing in Arcane Season 2, Isha also has a dedicated track. The song "Isha's Song" is sung by Eason Chan, a Hong Kong actor and singer.

Unfortunately, Isha isn't a playable character in League of Legends.

However, it's certainly possible for Riot Games to add Isha to League of Legends in the future. The developer recently added Ambessa Medarda from Arcane to League of Legends and fans absolutely loved it.

That's all for now. Stay tuned to esports.gg for more Arcane content.
