Background/History:
In 16th Century Ireland, Seamus O’Riley chanced upon a sleeping leprechaun and captured him. The leprechaun promised to grant Seamus wishes in exchange for being able to keep his pot of gold. The problem was that the leprechaun was a bitter evil creature and fulfilled the wishes in mean and harmful ways. When Seamus wished that his son not be sick anymore, the leprechaun killed the boy. Seamus was beside himself with grief and rage and became determined to find a way to destroy the evil imp. So, he waited until the creature went to sleep on his pot of gold, he carefully put him, gold and all, into a large cooking pot half filled with oil, quietly bolted the lid in place, and dropped in a lit match. The leprechaun startled awake and slipped into the oil before he could use his magic. He burned to a crisp in the pot and Seamus sealed it shut, trapping the malignant spirit in an iron tomb. He sealed the pot in the wall of the keep to bury the evil forever. In the present day, Kathleen’s father decided to have the family castle transported to America brick by brick and during the dismantling, the workers found the pot still sealed after all those years. When they brought it to Kathleen and opened it, the evil spirit was freed. It flew into her body intending to possess the descendant of the man who had imprisoned it, but it failed to reckon with the strength of will she had. She vanquished the demon spirit’s will and took its powers as a result. Able to cause bad luck for her foes, she took the codename, Jinx, and joined the Freedom Brigade.

Personality/Motivation:
She is a friendly and out going girl, with a bit of an Irish temper, enough to enjoy the sometimes cruel effects her powers can have on her adversaries. Knowing the evil of the leprechaun from the attempted possession, she is doubly determined to use the powers for good to make up for it’s evil.
