So I wanted to know how are Ekko and Janna related in lore?

When I looked up new lore, where she is now from what I can tell a goddess of wind, it states that she is related to Ekko, in fact Ekko is the only champion she has any relation towards so I was wondering what is their relation? Does Ekko pray to her? Are they friends? Is this a new ship?

As for my other question I just wanted to know how does Ekko know Jinx?

So I know x is a pretty common ship and it comes from Ekko's line saying "I had a crush... until you started talking to the gun." So that shows at some point Ekko thought Jinx was attractive. But unfortunately there's nothing showing Jinx being involved in Ekko's lore like being a part of the same gang, past lovers, or anything.

Jinx lore is pretty ambiguous, all we know she is chaotic evil and is obsessed with Vi and Piltover, and involved with new Warwick in some way.

EDIT: Restructured post for clarity.

it could be number of things , considering Janna supports techmaturgy , and ekko is just one moving tech! it could be anything from colleagues , co-workers , research partners to romantic pair ( any kind of it not just romeo and Juliet nonsense) , friends , long lost family members

but keep in mind unlike the old champion info page both friends and rivals sections merged into "related champions" in universe so for all we know they can be rivals as well.

To answer your question, Ekko is a youth from Zaun, and Zaunite youth believe in Janna.

She is like a spirit that people sometimes references or prays to. She's not a god or anything.

Think of her like Jack Frost in Disney's Guardians.

In the movie, we have several holiday characters (Santa Claus, Easter Bunny) and other make believe figures such as the Sand Man and Tooth Fairy Jack Frost is the first snow. He is winter and ice and fun.

He both exists and not exists. While he may be around, nobody believes in him which causes everyone to just pass through as if he was not around. Only when people believed Jack Frost is real did he manifest in a way for others to perceive him.

That is how Janna is. And that how Ekko is to Janna. He is one of the kids who believes.
