Djinni "Whisp" Grant is a 2013/2015-introduced and all-around character. She is the manifestation of the shadow of Gigi Grant, created from a wish for a friend to keep her company by one of finders. For a long time, she was known as the Shadow Genie, but following a wish to turn her into a true genie, she has lost the shadow aspect. Djinni and Gigi have a difficult history, but ever since Whisp became a true genie and has taken over Gigi's duties, getting the spotlight she's always wanted, they've been working on repairing their sisterhood. Whisp is an experienced manipulator and both merciless and creative in obtaining her goals, but she's trying to reform.
Portrayers
Whisp is voiced in English by Jonquil Goode.
Character
Whisp has a smokey purple tail, a top like Gigi's but in a purple smokey look. She has purple hair in a style like Gigi's. She has a jealous personality because of Gigi's power.
Backround
Whisp started out as the literal shadow of Gigi Grant. She was raised to life during an eclipse by a wish made by one of Gigi's finders who, on advice of the Brothers Grimm, wished for her a permanent friend. Gigi and Whisp were very good friends, sisters even, at first, while they were alone in the lantern, but every time the lamp was found, Whisp was left alone. Whisp did not like being ignored and especially didn't like being left behind while Gigi made new friends. Seeking revenge, she learned that she was not bound by the rules of genies. She started to follow Gigi on her adventures, mesmerizing finder's to serve her own needs of attention and retribution. When the Brothers Grimm found out about this, they created a magical mirror that would cancel the effects of Whisp's whispering powers. Gigi used the mirror to save Fawn and thwart Whisp's grab at domination, but the mirror broke into thirteen shards as a result. [Source] Whisp took the pieces and hid them all over within the lamp, ensuring that next time she'd succeed.
Gigi's lamp was found centuries later by Howleen Wolf in Boonighted States of Scaremerica and Whisp got straight to work. The one thing she hadn't counted on were Howleen's sister and friends, who put the mirror back together and got Howleen out of her influence. However, Howleen, being a younger sister too, felt sympathy for Whisp and as her last wish freed Gigi from the lantern and made Whisp it's new host, allowing her to make new friends the same way Gigi could before. Whisp gratefully took the spotlight she always wanted. [Source] She fell to the bottom of the Monster High's Deep End, inside her lamp.
Inside the lamp, Whisp dedicated her life to learning the secrets of a djinni and learning the lessons she hadn't learnt from Gigi, looking back at her actions and sick schemes with dispair and willing to turn a new page in her life. The lamp, flowing down the Deep End, was found by the vampire Kieran Valentine, buried in sand. Being summoned several times, Whisp and Valentine start to develop a close friendship, as both have in common their current redeeming status. Valentine's wishes weren't successfully granted, due to mis-phrasing but his last wish was to make both friends forever, which allowed them to communicate via Djinn-ternet, and can keep contact even when Whisp returns to the lamp.
Personality
“Whisp is most definitely one of a kind—she is clever, mischievous and funny, and bursting with new ideas.” |
Whisp is "clever, mischievous and funny, and bursting with new ideas". She is, however, also the jealous type, which can come in the way of her good side. Sassy and cunning, if not cold sometimes, Whisp is someone who will not open to others and instead will allow an inner hate and dispair to grow inside her head, like she did with Gigi.
After her transformation, Whisp is still equally smart, if not more intellectually defined, more willing to discover her powers and new restriction, with her newly-discovered passion for reading. However, though maintaing her sassy personality, she has decided to turn a new page and be good, entirely devoted to her job as a genie and she has allowed her evil mastermind days be gone.
Appearance
Whisp has two appearances, her shadow genie appearance and her lamp genie appearance. After her creation, Whisp spent most of her life sporting her shadow genie appearance, however, during her genie transformation, she transformed into a full fleshed being, a look she didn't entirely like, which led to her first action as a lamp genie being changing her appearence back to a shadow genie, a form she is most comfortable with.
- Shadow Genie: As a shadow genie, her hair is dark purple and is in a high ponytail, similar to Gigi's. Her skin is dark lavender and she has has a purple scorpion-like tattoo on her neck, as well as an eclipse inspired tattoo on her cheeck, simbolizing all the phases of an eclipse, another tattoo on her right hand, and another going down her left arm. She has patterns resembling a scorpion's on her arms. Her torso fades into a genie tail that resembles either smoke or a shadow.
- Lamp Genie: As a lamp genie, she is a near identical twin image of Gigi with a few differences. Her hair is turquoise with a hot pink stripe and is in a high ponytail, similar to Gigi's. Her skin is light pink like Gigi's and her eyes are a light green. Her tattoo markings are exactly like Gigi's now.
Abilities
Whisp is a majorly powerfull being, being created from a genie's shadow therefore acquiring such abilities, as well as adquiring new ones over her experiences and relationship with shadows.
As a Shadow Genie, Djinni has the ability of:
- Floating: Whisp can float which is her main way of transportation considering her lack of legs.
- Whisper Persussion: Djinni can persuade people by whispering orders, almost like a conscience, affecting their actions. In '13 Wishes', she does this several times, controlling Howleen's mind and consequently her wishes.
- Shadow Morphis: Whisp can choose to either remain a shadow, only able to lurk around surfaces as walls and floors or, when she has enough power, she can also turn into a humanoid shadow that can make contact with the real world. In these forms she can travel unseen by everyone, except Gigi and other shadow beings, like Twyla. However, during eclipses Whisp becomes real, with a real body and can change her size however she prefers.
As a Lamp Genie:
- Teleportion: Djinni is able to teleport from place to place, when summoned by a finder.
- Wish Granting: Whisp has the ability to grant 3 wishes to any of her finders, without being able to interfere with these. However, this is a number that is prone to changing, and will increase as her genie experience rises.
- Lamp Retracting: As a lamp genie, Whisp can travel in and out of her genie lamp.
Relationships
Family
Djinni and Gigi regard each other as sisters, with Whisp being the younger one. However she does not have any family, being a shadow turned individual. She herself expresses to be relunctant over this topic since in her bio she says she wished she could explain her family and creation.
Friends
Whisp has, or used to have, a close frendship with Gigi Grant, broken due to the unhealthy jealousy that consumed her for not having the same liberties as Gigi and being left lonely in her lamp. However, after Gigi sacrificed her powers to stay at Monster High, they've been working on their relationship, as they remain in contact through the Djinn-ternet.
Kieran Valentine and her also became close friends once he becomes her first finder and both share their redeeming status and repulse for whom they used to be and how they used to behave. They remain in contact through the Djinn-ternet as well, after Valentine's final wish to have both remain friends forever.
