Quoted By:
>Jynx may be based on ganguro (blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls). Jynx could also be based on the legend of the Yama Uba, a yōkai which is described as always wearing a tattered red kimono, having whitish-blonde hair, control over snow, dark-colored skin, and large lips. "Yamanba" is also a slang for the extreme end of ganguro fashion. Jynx may also be based on a female viking or the iconic image of an opera singer.
The common theory is ganguro + yama-uba + fat opera singer
