Body Build:
Petite and slim, Farah has never been considered a large person. Her curves aren't unnoticeable, but neither are they particularly astounding in size.
Complexion:
Immortality has blessed Farah with blemish free skin, pimples are a thing of the past. Her skin tone is a natural cinnamon brown, usually tanned a shade darker in the summer.
Hair:
Farah's hair is dark brown and usually lies midway down her back in messy curls. She likes wearing it up, in plaits and so fourth. She's had plenty of time to practise styling her hair. When she's in the mood she'll push it up into some elaborate hairdo.
Eyes:
Farah has warm brown eyes that sparkle every time something amuses her. They are very expressive, generally giving away her emotions even when her face is controlled.
Scars/Tattoos:
She has no tattoos or scars.
Piercings/Accessories:
Farah has several piercings including two on her left ear (currently holding a real ruby and a golden stud), three on her right ear (the matching pairs to the ruby and golden stud, plus a small silver flower). She has her nose pierced with a simple golden stud and her belly button pierced with ruby and sapphire jewels.
Her accessories include a pair of permanent golden cuffs around each wrist. They wrap completely around her wrist and are impossible to remove. When she has a new master her cuffs glow and a matching pair appears around her ankles.

Personality description:
[Curious, Naive, Excitable, Kind, Anxious, Stubborn]
Farah is both naive and knowledgeable. She still finds a childlike delight in many of the small things in life, this no doubt comes from being released from a century long snooze in your lamp. She gets excited by what many people take for granted and seems to relish being able to refuse people requests. She has lived for over 500 years, and in that time has either been trapped within her lamp, or at the beck and call of her current master. Freedom, to Farah, is the most valuable thing a person could have and she has promised herself she will make the most of it. For that reason she rarely holds back. If she sees something that catches her attention she will investigate. If a question pops into her mind she will ask the closest stranger for an answer.
She is kind and friendly, especially to children. She'd go out of her way to help a child in need, or a friend if she had any. Friends have always been rare for Farah. The only people she's really interacted with over the past few centuries have been her masters. She has befriended few and has yet to make a true friend on her own. Of course, that doesn't mean that she's not eager to expand her circle. She isn't particularly shy, but when she's decided to make friends with someone she can become rather self-doubting and slightly anxious. However, with enough practise she would hopefully be able to feel more at ease.
For all that, she does hold a quiet cynicism about the world. She has seen greed, lust and pride propel people to make extravagant wishes. Having no other option, she has granted them. Not everyone who gets hold of her lamp is a saint. She's all too aware that there are people in the world who would kill their grandmother for a chance at three almost limitless wishes. She is extremely anxious about not returning to answering to someone else and gets rather jumpy any time anyone asks about her lamp. Rather stubborn, she has been known to hang onto ideas for decades. She can hold grudges for just as long.
βEverything you can imagine is real.β
β Pablo Picasso



"When I have a master, my powers become insanely awesome, like omnipotent awesome. I can grant them three wishes, anything they want is basically theirs. The only wishes I can't grant are to bring back the dead, create love or to create more wishes. Without a master, I'm almost a normal human being... you know, just with the added bonus of magic and immortality."
Offensive:
Magic \\ This isn't the kind of magic from Harry Potter. Farah doesn't wave a wand, say an incantation and produce a spell. Her magic is simpler. All she has to do is will something to be and it is. Of course, without a master her powers are limited. She can summon weapons, clothes or other items from nothing (no bigger than herself), temporarily animate nearby inanimate objects, and and move small items with her mind. On her own she can't do anything too flashy, neither does her powers enable her to directly harm a human. Her magic is a golden colour. Her wrist cuffs (and ankle cuffs if she has them) will glow gold while she is using her magic. If her magic is aimed at an object, that object will usually be surrounded by the golden colour too.
Defensive:
Magic Shield \\ Her best defensive magic is in producing a magical shield that cannot be penetrated by magical, physical or mental means. As long as she's concious and has the energy to keep the shield up, no one can pass through. The shield is always the same colour as her magic, a glowing golden colour.
Extra:
Flight \\ Farah can fly at rapid speeds through the air. Be it simply hovering, or cruising through the clouds it is a handy trick to have, especially when you don't have a passport to travel on commercial flights. Again she will usually be surrounded by a golden glow when using her magic to fly, although this is much harder to see than when she uses her other magic.
Note: Her magic grows stronger when she has a master, but if completely freed from her lamp, her powers would increase to the same level.

Role/description: When Farah became a genie she lost her family name, taking up the name of 'Djinn' instead. She has the vaguest memories of her life before becoming a genie, the impression of parents and siblings, but not a lot else. She has spent centuries granting other people's wishes or, when not a slave to a person's greed, growing bored within her lamp. Only a year has passed since her last master, a young man who wished for her to explore the world. With her lamp securely in tow Farah has done just that, amazed at all the wonders of the world. She does not want to return to service, so she guards her lamp dearly.
