Isha The Magnificent
The Magnificent Isha
"What do you wish for child? I can give you whatever your heart desires, I think you have earned it."
-Isha The Magnificent, talking to a child who just pulled a kitten out of a river
Isha The Magnificent is one of the strongest currently living djinnis, her domain within the plane of air is known in the elemental planes as a place of happiness and freedom. Isha's loyal followers go out into the different ínner planes, hoping to carry on her message of freedom and happiness for everyone.
Isha has for thousands of years stood as an example for everyone, showing that one can break away from the norms of their species, that anyone can become good, even if they grew up in a place that shaped them to be evil. Isha has worked toward ending the slaving ways of the djinnis for millennia, and she hopes that her servants will go out into the world to fight against the same wrong principles that she is fighting.
Some of her servants are mortals with no special powers, and yet they still seek adventurer in her name, Isha has always felt greatly honored by those who would risk so much to fight for what they believe in. To help her servants, Isha grants them magical abilities to help them on their travels, all in the hopes that they will use it to help and protect others, and fight evil should they encounter it.Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Isha has the body of a tall and fit human woman, her muscles are well defined, however she is not overly big. She moves with a flowing grace, her blue skin blending in with the light blue small skies which usually replace her legs. Her arms and legs (if she has them) are fairly long even for her size, giving her a slightly slim appearance despite her muscles.
Body Features
Beyond her blue skin, her entire body seems to be nearly buzzing with magical energy, and if one were to touch her, they would feel the slight energy through the touch. This energy also seemingly makes much of the cloths she wears flow slowly and dramatically even if there is nearly no wind. The same energy seems to affect her long raven black hair, which is always flowing beautifully.
Due to almost her entire body being made of air, Isha is weightless unless she decides to increase he weight magically. If Isha does increase her weight, she usually also manifests legs and will begin walking on whatever surface is under her, something most djinnis would never do.
The few times Isha has felt the need to prepare for combat, she sprouts large wings from her back, it is unlikely that these wings actually help her fly and are more likely for intimidation purposes.
Facial Features
Isha generally has a fine and petite face, her features are seemingly sculpted to fit together perfectly. Her glowing eyes are quite beautiful and will usually take the complete attention of anyone she looks at. Her mouth is almost always displaying a gleaming white smile.
Apparel & Accessories
When Isha creates cloths for herself it is usually thin pieces of cloth layered on top of each other in many different colors, and held to her body with a large ribbon around her waste, and potentially some more around the outfit to keep it together or tighten certain areas.
Her shoes are usually soft and thin, and more for show than anything else. She will often decide to go without.
Her jewelry is not something she has created, instead it is actual pieces of jewelry she owns, and she wears them with great pride. Isha realized early on that if her servants wanted to gift her something, jewelry was usually a good gift for them to give her, and so she vowed to only wear those she had been given, both because she liked it and because she knew it made her servants happy.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
A being as old as Isha has a long and complicated history, and so this section will only attempt to outline the most important events of her life.
- Manifestation Isha's manifestation was very quick, taking only two days, her forming so quickly should indicate the magical ability she commanded from the very beginning of her djinni life.
- Early Life It is believed by many of her followers that Isha built her own court from the ground up, never having called another being master. Isha building her own court would have been very surprising, more likely she became a favored one in one of the large djinni courts early on due to her charismatic personality and manipulations. It is possible that she created a court shortly after securing the support of a different court, which is still very impressive and much more likely than the stories her followers believe.
- The Court Of Isha Isha's court was controversial from the very beginning, she took in elementals as equals to djinnis, and she banned slavery in her court. Many of the other powerful djinnis saw this as a sign of weakness in Isha, however her court swelled with servants, and many slaves even escaped their masters to seek asylum in the court of Isha. We do not know how many conflicts Isha's court has been in, however it is known that she took over other courts and freed their slaves multiple times. Isha's actions in the early days of her court established it as a major powerhouse in the plane of air, her servants are incredibly loyal to her, and she has gone to war for them more than once.
- Isha The Magnificent Isha is one of the youngest "old" djinnis, and while she probably is not the strongest in the entire plane, she is without a doubt one of the heavy hitters. After she established her court and secured it's borders and her servants, Isha began to send agents to the material plane. In the material plane Isha learned of many different creatures, beings who would live for such a short time, and yet would experience enough to be satisfied, these beings were very interesting to Isha, so much so that she allowed some to become her servants. Isha has never been happy to lose a servant, but even more so the ones from the material plane, because where most beings in the plane of air would never die of old age, almost none of the beings she took as servants from the material plane would even live to see two hundred years. Isha's ultimate goal is known only to herself, but her servants and followers believe that one of the core beliefs of Isha is to protect and care for those who cannot protect themselves. Isha's followers expect of themselves and each other, to seek out ways to help those weaker than themselves, and more specifically, to free anyone from their undeserved shackles.
Gender Identity
Isha, while she has no true biological sex, took on the appearance of a young woman when she first manifested, and feels most comfortable in that body. Throughout her life most assumed her gender to be female, and it was likely due to this assumed gender that her master named her Isha, a name she feels fits her well. Isha has taken on the female gender identity, however she has explored this identity throughout her life, and always found the same answer, that she was happy with identifying as female.
Sexuality
Isha is more than powerful enough to alter her own body to suit any partner she should desire, and throughout her life she has had plenty of partners. Her partners have varied between gender as well as species, in that sense she is completely free when it comes to her sexuality.
Education
Isha is over three thousand years old, and with that comes oceans of time to study. While Isha has no formal education beyond what she was taught by the court she most likely served in, she is often seen reading or talking with her servants of many different subjects, and has presumably learned through that.
Isha is quite well read, and often asks her servants to bring her new books from all over the different inner planes. Isha knows a great deal of history, and many of her followers assume that Isha's excellent leading abilities stem from her historical knowledge mixed with her impressive dedication and magical power.
When it comes to magic, while Isha is not unmatched in the plane of air, she is without a doubt one of the most powerful magic users. Isha has enough magical power to build clouds into walls as tough as stone, and grant mortals almost anything they could wish for.
Accomplishments & Achievements
The first big accomplishment of Isha's life is forming her own court, a feat most djinnis never manage, and it is even greater due to her creating a court without the use of slaves.
In the early days of her court, Isha had to fight off political enemies constantly, and she never lost a debate, to the great annoyance of her djinni enemies. Beyond just defending her own servants, she managed to free slaves from the other courts, both through political discussion, as well as bloodshed, something most old djinnis try to avoid. Isha became known as one who was not scared to go to war for her beliefs, and her servants followed her. Djinnis will usually rather talk than fight, as the risk of losing the lives of servants is a steep price to pay in a plane with almost no resources other than other beings. In some of the battles, both the bloody and the political, Isha even managed to free some marid slaves, and for this, Isha is one of the only djinni who is not hated by all marids.
Without a doubt the biggest achievement of Isha's life was the formation of her court, and the policies it manages to maintain. Isha managed to carve out a part of the plane of air, and along with making it her domain, she has maintained it as a place of peace and freedom for everyone. With a species as powerful as the djinni, managing to keep all of them at bay through the sheer threat of one's power is incredible.
Failures & Embarrassments
Isha and her followers all know of one failure, Isha takes responsibility for the horrible events of The Cleansing Hurricane which can be read about in this timeline: Presumed History Of The Genies.
Most people would argue that Isha had no way of knowing this would happen as she was kept in the dark, and the actions of her fellow djinni are not her responsibility. Some believe like Isha, that she should have realized the other djinnis hatred was boiling over to war, especially since she was the one who most often faced their wrath due to her policies of freedom in her own domain, something many djinni courts despised.
Morality & Philosophy
Isha's view of right and wrong are quite unusual for a djinni. Where others see the value of life as a monetary thing, Isha sees life as something to be protected and helped. Limiting others in unjust ways are, and will always be wrong, and this thought process is also what makes her so against slavery. For Isha, right and wrong is very much like black and white, it is either right, or it is wrong, and one should strive to never do wrong.
Isha's general philosophy is that everyone can live a good life, and if someone can't it is because others failed to help them.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Beyond just being comfortable in her every day life, Isha has two big motivations that move her to act as she does.
- Justice Isha feels that there is much injustice in the world, and that she, with the help of her servants can do something about it. If one knows that others are suffering, then you should do what you can to help them, that is what Isha believes, and strives to live up to.
- Love Isha loves all of her servants, and wishes to help and support them in their lives, just as they do for her. Her love for her servants drive her to do many things, like freeing their friends or family from slavery to other djinni courts for instance. Her love is different for each servant, some she loves like children, others as students, and others again as friends, and the list goes on and on.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Isha has countless contacts, everything from beggars to king, from angels to even a few devils, and everything in between. Isha has a massive network of contacts, many of whom she considers close friends, and she talks with them relatively often for an immortal being. Isha would never imagine calling on most of these friends, and they know it, but should she ever need them, by far most of them would show up to help her.
Her close contacts are her servants, especially her favored ones. Her servants are the ones she asks when she wants something done, and they are the ones she is closest to, and her favored ones are the ones she relies on the most.
Social Aptitude
Isha puts on the mask of a leader, but in reality Isha is relatively introverted and can be a bit nervous, she will be confident when needed, but if she is with someone she trusts her masks fall away. When Isha is just herself, she is very relaxed and actually prefers to be treated as an equal rather than a superior. Most of Isha's servants have seen her put away her mask, she trusts her followers, but just because she can relax around them does not mean that all her servants have had long, deep and personal talks with her. While she does talk with most of her servants, some she talks with more than others, and these people get to meet what many would describe as a normal and energetic woman, who seems young for her great age.
Mannerisms
When Isha is relaxed and talking with someone she likes, she has a very open and active body language, using her hands to emphasize her points and deepen her explanations. When she is relaxed she also tends to laugh quite alot, feeling content and happy with the current situation.
If Isha is with people she does not consider good friends or people she trusts, she is caring and nice, but with a certain distance maintained. She does not laugh too much or too loud, and she is much more careful with how much she gives away through her words and body language. Even if she is angered, Isha will rarely say any words with anger, but a certain cold and calculating tone is used when she is angry enough, and most who have heard it agree that such a tone is much scarier than Isha yelling could ever be.
Hobbies & Pets
Where most djinnis enjoy their free time by giving into any desire they have, be it food, drink or sexual partners, Isha has developed quite a varied arsenal of hobbies. Isha has always made an effort to understand and connect with her servants and followers, and this has introduced her to many different hobbies. Isha enjoyed some of her followers hobbies so much that she has continued to partake in them in her own time.
Isha makes sure that her followers all have their free time as well, and so many of the group hobbies are also possible for Isha. Isha enjoys ball games alot, finding it is a great way for her to connect with the followers she is on a team with, and she is overjoyed to see her servants having fun and learning together, how to talk and work togheter are very important skills in Isha's mind.
Beyond physical activity Isha also enjoys other games, one of her first followers introduced her to a game using many types of dice, where she tells great tales of adventure with her fellow players. She plays this game quite alot, and also enjoys running these games as well.
Isha has also taken quite a liking to books beyond their educational value, and has found she enjoys books where the author has imagined what the future could look like, these books are extra fun if she can read them after the time the author looked forward to has passed.
Wealth & Financial state
In terms of djinni wealth, Isha is incredibly rich. In a society where lives are like gold, the many willing and strong servants who follow Isha makes her very wealthy in the eyes of other djinni. Isha is considered weird for not having slaves, but since slaves are usually considered less valuable than free and willing servants, it does not really affect her wealth in any way. The other great wealth she has is in who she knows, and who owes her favors. Countless beings have interacted with Isha over the years, and many of them consider her their friend to this day, and a good number of them even owes her for helping them, and all of these being are ready to help her.
When it comes to "traditional" wealth in the form of gold, diamonds, lands and so on Isha is by no means poor, but the only real things of value she has is in her jewelry and other gifts. Isha has been collecting gifts of jewlery and other items for over four thousand years, so she has quite alot, but it was never something she gathered for the monetary worth.

Honorary & Occupational Titles
"The Magnificent" is actually not a title Isha made for herself, rather it was something the slaves she freed began calling her. The former slaves would tell stories of how "Isha The Magnificent" saved them from slavery, and of how strong and beautiful she was.

"If you do a little right today, then it has been a great day"
"No matter where you are, what you face or which path you take, know that I love you, and I support your freedom to choose your destiny."
When one of her servants wait for permission to speak, Isha will usually say "So tell me, what wish can I grant today?", and always with a smile on her lips.
