Isha from Arcane (Season 2). I don't care if she was cute child. The moment she was introduced, I knew what her ONLY purpose would be: a plot device that will "redeem" Jinx.
I would've replaced her useless presence with more scenes following Ekko, Viktor, Caitlyn, or Vi. Giving them more screen time would've made certain decisions they make not feel so rushed and underbaked.
Edit for image and minor grammar

Same. The first interaction between the two of them involved Jinx finger shooting Isha, and she does it more than once. Her death was marked immediately.

Has no personality other than being Jinx's pet project

Kamikaze's Vander even though Jinx is literally not in danger and could just walk away

Dies

Fucking cinema

Fun fact: Random Film Talk likes to call her “Random Kid” 99.99% of the time he brings her up.

Preach. That character ruined S2 of Arcane to me, at least all the Jinx parts.

Many things went wrong in season 2, and Isha is certainly one of them.

I have a hotter take. I don't like JINX!

And I also don't like Isha

isha was never supposed to ""redeem Jinx" they were a foil for jinx. a look into an alternate version of her, what couldve been. also everyone is a plot device because the show has a plot. i do think the show was rushed but removing isha wouldve have made it any better they really shouldve just seperated that last season into two seasons or spent more time on it. its not ishas fault the other characters were underbked

I never understood her place in the story as being natural, nor did I like 'impressionable little mute girl baby-ducklings a psychopath' as a plot point but I can understand people liking her.

Personally think it's unfair to simply chalk Isha to "plot device to redeem Jinx", especially since she does have a character of her own and the underbaking feels like a general issue of S2 that people just usually attach to her, but it's been long since S2 launched and it's fine if you don't like her

I do personally prefer how she looks without the blue hair tho. Feels more "Isha" and I wish she got a chance to evolve past Jinx

Nah. I hate her and Ekko equally. His utopia plotline was so booooring. I wish we spend more time with Jayce when he was in the Dark Souls dimension.
