Personality[]
As Silco's second-in-command, Sevika has a fearsome reputation in Zaun, keeping his other subordinates in line and even catching the attention of some of the chem-barons, such as Finn. As she runs a tight ship, Sevika doesn't tolerate weakness or failure, and sees Jinx as a liability to Silco's criminal empire, leading to a mutual dislike between the two. Despite this, Sevika is not completely unsympathetic to Jinx and offers words of encouragement to Silco upon her disappearance.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Not much is known about Sevika's childhood, but as a little girl, she had a somewhat rocky relationship with her father. As a resident of Zaun, she eventually became fed up with the oppression she had to suffer at the hands of Piltover's Enforcers and came to believe that the only way to get the Topsiders to back off was by uprising against them.
Arcane[]
Sevika is first seen as a customer in Vander's bar, where she questions his plans for peace with Piltover. Vander's speech fails to sway her, and she storms out along with several other patrons, much to Vander's dismay.
Sevika turns her loyalties to the criminal kingpin Silco, who, in an effort to start a violent uprising against Piltover, had created a substance known as Shimmer which would enhance the user. Silco kidnapped Vander, hoping to convince him to join, but when Vander refused, they had him locked up instead to lure Vander's children into a trap.
However, this plan would backfire when Vander's adopted daughter Powder used a bomb to destroy the entire complex, killing Mylo, Claggor, and Vander, and mutiliating Silco's henchmen Singed. Sevika was able to protect Silco from the blast, but lost her left arm in the process. Soon afterwards, Silco would adopt Powder as his daughter (renaming her "Jinx"), much to Sevika's dismay.
Years later, Sevika had worked her way up to being Silco's top enforcer, overseeing a multitude of operations within the criminal empire. She would also gain a shimmer-powered mechanical arm as a replacement. However, Sevika remained skeptical of Jinx's usefulness to their cause, and frequently told Silco that she was a liability. However, Silco dismissed these claims, leaving Sevika to clean up all of Jinx's messes.
After Vi returned to Zaun, she attacked Sevika and questioned her on Powder's whereabouts. After informing her that Powder now works for Silco and changed her name to Jinx, Sevika stabbed a shocked Vi and prepared to finish her off before Caitlyn shot Sevika's mechanical arm, causing Sevika to retreat. She then informed Silco of Vi's return, who gave chase. Sevika was later captured and interrogated by Jinx, who tied her up in Silco's office after learning that Silco was going after a couple of unknown girls. Sevika then revealed to Jinx that her sister was still alive, claiming she replaced her, and that soon she would implode.
Following Jinx's disappearance, Sevika accompanied Silco to a meeting with his fellow Chembarons, who had started questioning Silco's leadership, as he was clearly struggling to keep control of Jinx and his criminal empire, before he forced them back in line. However, a Chembaron named Finn privately urged Sevika to betray him. After a Shimmer production plant was destroyed by Vi and Jayce Talis, Baron Renni joined the insurrection, and the barons planned to have Silco assassinated. After a tense exchange, Sevika proved her loyalty to Silco by killing Finn, claiming she wasn't tempted for a worm like Finn.
Afterwards, Silco left the undercity for a parley with Jayce, leaving Sevika in charge in his absence. During this time, Vi entered the Last Drop in hopes of finding Silco, and once again battled Sevika. While Sevika initially got the upper hand on Vi, the fight ended in her defeat, with Vi ripping off her mechanical arm. Afterwards, Sevika awaited Silco's return, unaware of his death at the hands of Jinx.
When Silco's death is revealed, the various Chem-Barons begin war against each other, to Sevika's dismay. She encounters Jinx in the remnants of Silco's old office, and the two bond over having been used by Silco. She then saves Jinx from the Chem-Baron Smeech, using a new arm she was given. She also helps Jinx fight Caitlyn and Vi, fighting off Caitlyn’s sniping and helping Jinx and Isha escape.
After Caitlyn becomes dictator of Piltover and the enforcers, allied with Noxian soldiers under the command of Ambessa Medarda, start cracking down on the citizens of the Undercity, Sevika continues to protest against their rule. When Isha, disguised as Jinx, causes a public fireworks display of protest at a checkpoint, Sevika goes to meet with Jinx, unaware that Jinx is completely naive to the incident. Sevika attempts to convince Jinx, who has become seen as a revolutionary hero by the people of Zaun, to show up and help unite them, which Jinx refuses. Sevika then hosts a rally at Vander's statue, attended by average Undercity denizens, Jinxes (people who dress up as Jinx), and the Firelights, attempting to convince them to all work together. However, the rally is disrupted by Ambessa's second-in-command Rictus, who severs Sevika's new arm and captures multiple people, including an attending Isha.
Sevika barely manages to get to Jinx, and the two plan to break into Stillwater to rescue Isha. They knock out an enforcer, and have Jinx take her uniform and pretend to escort Sevika to jail. They are able to get in and free both Isha and multiple members of the Undercity, only to be attacked by Warwick. Sevika leaves with Isha while Jinx fights Warwick.
Sevika's final appearance is in the series finale, where she, having been given a new robotic arm by Jinx yet again, leads the members of the Undercity against Noxus, only to be captured by Viktor's drones. After the battle, Sevika becomes a councilwoman, presumably as Zaun's representative.
