MaraPets - Neda the Jinn Yuni

Having lied about the most inconsequential of things,
I'm unable to go back
With no statute of limitations for my crimes,
My own thievery has robbed me of forgiveness

Neda is an Arabic name that means "prayer".
I wonder if she is praying right now...?
In Arabic tradition, it is believed that Djinns (or Jinns) are born of fire.
Djinns live for a very long time, so they are very intelligent.
They know many languages, even ancient ones that others do not know.
But since they are on a different plane of existence, many often cannot see them.

Contrary to popular Western thinking, Djinns actually have their own free will.
If you call her "pet", she may become angry.
When she comes for you, there is no bottle to restrain her.
Perhaps do not get on Neda's bad side...

In this world, Neda makes her way as a thief.
She is natural trickster with much skill in pickpocketing and sleight of hand.
Neda has stolen everything from food, to jewelry, to magic items.
The authorities have listed her as wanted criminal, but she always gets away.
Rumour says that she is sometimes hired by maffia to retrieve valuables...

To the citizen of Eleka's Castle, Neda is not truly a criminal.
She has done much work opposing the Desert Spy to preserve Eleka's reputation.
In her eyes, the Desert Spy serves as form of propaganda by the Sultan.

Though Neda may seem mean, she feel shy at heart.
To earn approval from others she act out to appear tough.
In reality, she only seek comfort and validation from peers.
But because of this behaviour, she has no one to call "friend".

Neda practices incantation to summon fire at will.
She can also see infrared in complete darkness.
Sometimes she steal tomes to help learn new spells.
