Ximena Talis is Jayce’s mother and only known relative, a low-ranking Piltover noble who is cautious of his ideas. She is very protective of her son.
Biography[]
Ximena first appears in Jayce's flashback in episode 2, where she collapses and nearly dies from presumably hypothermia, and was frostbitten as shown by a close up of her blackened fingers. She and Jayce are saved by a mysterious figure using magic, something she does not want Jayce to continue pursuing. When she appears later on, she is shown to lost some of her fingers in this incident, having gold prosthetic fingers.
She is a member of House Talis, a toolmaking House known for their invention of the collapsible pocket wrench. Her voice holds some weight in the Piltover Council during Jayce's trial, when she backs up Heimerdinger and Cassandra Kiramman's vote for Jayce not to be exiled. She claims he is not of his right mind and that his dreams of research are impossible. She later tells him she said what she had to in order to keep him safe, indicating she would support his dreams if they were safer.
In episode 4, she can be seen among the crowds on Progress Day. In episode 7, she comforts Jayce as he decides whether or not to take violence against Zaun.
Characteristics[]
Personality[]
Ximena is a gentle and caring mother. When her and her son were trapped in the blizzard, she sacrificed her warmth to try and keep her son safe. Later on in the season she steps up during Jayce's trial to save him from being banished. When Jayce gets mad at her for this, she sympathizes with him for his dream of magic, but tries to set his expectations to be more realistic.
Appearances[]
Ximena is a tan skinned woman with sharp cheekbones and nose, thick eyebrows, and brown (later grey) hair pulled back into a bun with a white streak. She has a mole on her right cheek, along with dark brown eyes, dull purple lipstick, and pearl earrings. Since the frostbite killed her left pointer and middle finger, she wears a black and gold prosthesis (or coverings) on them. Ximena wears a green shirt with puffed shoulders under a maroon and black vest with gold embellishments.
Later in Season 1, she wears a white, gold, black, and navy version of this outfit.
In Season 2 while shes in mourning for her son, she wears a black version of this outfit.
