Leah 's genies grant her 3 wishes every day, but they often mess up. Each episode features Leah working together with her genies to solve the problems they inadvertently cause, all while keeping Shimmer and Shine a secret from her next - door neighbor Zachary Molloy. In the second season, the characters are transported to Zahramay Falls, a magical land where Shimmer and Shine live. Leah reveals her genies ' existence to Zac, who is given a genie of his own named Kaz. Shimmer and Shine continue to grant Leah wishes in Zahramay Falls and befriend the sovereign of the land, Princess Samira. The season also includes Samira 's pet peacock, Royal ; Zeta, a villainous sorceress ; and Zeta 's dragon, Nazboo. Characters Humanoids Shimmer ( voiced by Eva Bella ) -- An optimistic genie with blue eyes and pink hair. She is enthusiastic and encouraging. She loves cleaning, glitter, and collecting genie bottles. Her pet is a gibbon monkey named Tala. Shine ( voiced by Isabella Cramp ) -- A courageous genie with purple eyes and blue hair. She is an animal lover and is often hungry. Her pet is a Bengal tiger cub named Nahal. Due to her love of animals, she is very knowledgeable about the behaviors of magical creatures native to Zahramay Falls. Unlike her sister, she dislikes cleaning. A running gag involves Shine saying `` It 's like I always say... '' only to humorously reveal that she has just made up whatever she says next. Leah Anne Marie Thompson ( voiced by Alina Foley ) -- A blonde girl with blue eyes who owns a genie bottle necklace, which includes Shimmer and Shine. Although Shimmer and Shine usually mess up her wishes, Leah is patient and forgiving with them. Originally, she was forced to keep her genies existence a secret from her close friend Zac, but revealed her secret to him after being transported to Zahramay Falls. In the second season, Princess Samira grants Leah and Zac 's wish to visit Zahramay Falls whenever they want. While visiting her genies in Zahramay Falls, Leah magically dons a genie disguise in order to blend in, as humans are normally not allowed in Zahramay Falls. Zachary `` Zac '' Molloy ( voiced by Blake Bertrand in the first two seasons, Justin Felbinger from season three and onward ) -- Leah 's neighbor and best human friend. In the first season, he is oblivious to the fact that Leah has genies. Whenever something strange or unusual happens, he responds to it in a carefree manner. He also has a habit of telling humorous experiences he has had to Leah. In the second season, he learns that Leah has genies and gets a genie of his own named Kaz. Princess Samira ( voiced by Nikki SooHoo ) -- The ruler of Zahramay Falls, who is in charge of checking up on all the genies in training. She can grant wishes along with the younger genies. She occasionally rewards genies with magic Genie Gems that can have a variety of magical effects. She acts as Shimmer and Shine 's mentor and teacher. Despite Zeta being her self - proclaimed rival, Samira likes Zeta and is willing to give her a second chance at becoming a genie - in - training, which in season three is revealed to be due to her past friendship with Zeta when they were both students under Empress Caliana and hopes that Zeta and her can one day become friends again. Zeta the Sorceress ( voiced by Lacey Chabert ) -- A resident of Zahramay Falls who is Princess Samira 's rival and wishes to replace her as the most powerful person in Zahramay Falls. Zeta is a sorceress instead of a genie, as she has no desire to grant the wishes of others, relying on magic potions and magical items. Her plans are almost always thwarted by Shimmer, Shine, and Leah. However, her own arrogance and ignorance can cause her to foil her own schemes as well. Despite the trouble she causes, the girls and Zac do n't hold it against her and generally try to be friendly towards her when not foiling her schemes. Though she tends to be antagonistic towards Leah and her genies, she can be civil towards them at times and even work with them such when she finds herself and / or Nazboo in danger usually when her schemes backfire, which usually results in them saving her. Before becoming a sorceress, she was a genie - in - training under Empress Caliana along with Samira, whom Zeta befriended when she was a new student, though later quit school due to her jealousy of Samira and decided to become a sorceress instead, though despite her current rivalry with Samira is shown to cherish their past friendship as she held onto a feather pen Samira gave her when they first met along with a picture of the two of them together when they were both still friends. Kaz ( voiced by Maryellen Alyvia Jergens ) -- A genie in training who becomes Zac 's genie in the second season. In contrast to Zac 's easy - going and adventurous personality, Kaz is more cautious and scares easily. Despite their contrasting personalities, Zac and Kaz work well together and can be brave when she has to be. Her cautious nature also means she puts more thought into how she grants Zac 's wishes, resulting in her messing up Zac 's wishes far less often despite being less experienced in wish granting than Shimmer and Shine. Like most genies in Zahramay Falls, she has her own magic carpet, though sometimes uses Zac 's Super Zoom Flyer, a magic carpet wished up by Zac. Kaz has a pet Ziffilon named Zain, who summoned by one of Zac 's wishes after he learned that Kaz always wanted a Ziffilon as a pet. Thoughhe and Zac get along well, she occasionally becomes unenthusiastic when granting wishes for Zac she would prefer not too. She was initially afraid of Zac 's dog Rocket due to being unfamiliar with dogs, though eventually overcame her fear after Zac and the girls reminded her of how other genies were initially scared of Zain before they got to know him. Empress Caliana ( voiced by Barbara Eden ) -- Princess Samira 's famous, semi-retired mentor. Caliana was the one who gave Samira her special necklace back when she was a little genie - in - training. Empress Caliana was a great explorer when she was a little girl and made many groundbreaking discoveries, such as finding the Caliana Caves. She is also old friends with Rohan, the normally shy crystalline golem that guards the caves. When Zeta and Samira were younger, Caliana taught genies - in - training at her school in Genie Hall, where Zeta was her top student. While praising Zeta 's potion making skills, she tried to teach her to be more considerate of others and assigned Samira to sit next to Zeta when Samira was a new student which lead to Samira befriending Zeta, though Zeta eventually became jealous of Samira when she became the class 's new top student, which eventually lead Zeta to quit school and decide to become a Sorceress instead after her attempt to sabotage Samira backfired, though Caliana expressed hope to Samira that she would one day return. Captain Zora ( voiced by Kellie Pickler ) -- A pirate genie who is Shine 's idol. She is absentminded at times and can be very clumsy and forgetful, especially when she is on an adventure. She owns a flying pirate ship that she sometimes accidentally docks in odd places. Shine loves pirate genies and Captain Zora is her favorite of them all, so she gets very nervous and sometimes can not talk clearly when she is around Zora. Layla ( voiced by Danica McKellar ) -- An ice genie who is a good friend of Princess Samira. She possesses an ice gem necklace that gives her freezing powers and keeps her body cold. She originally lived in a genie bottle buried on a sandy beach in Zahramay Falls, but it was accidentally broken by Leah and her genies. She currently lives in an ice palace. Shaya ( voiced by Kim Santiago ) -- A lightning genie in training who rides around on a flying cloud - board and can generate magical lightning. Leah and her genies help her catch a run away magic lightning bolt she created while practicing her magic. Though she is reluctant to work with Leah and her genies at first, she eventually learns the value of teamwork from them. Nila ( voiced by Mila Brener ) -- A mermaid who lives in the waters near Zahramay Falls. Leah and her genies befriend Nila after Leah wishes to find a Mermaid after learning they are real. She helps the girls obtain the Mermaid Gem to change the girls back to their non-mermaid selves after Leah accidentally uses up her wishes which leaves the girls trapped in Mermaid form. After Nila and the girls obtain the gem by befriending its lonely Guardian, she teaches them the spell to activate the gem 's power which can both transform into Mermaids as well as undo the transformation allowing the girls to visit Nila and go on underwater adventures with her. Imma - The Waterfall Genie who oversees the source of the rainbow waterfalls of Zahramay Falls in Rainbow Zahramay. The girls befriend her after Samira sends them on their first adventure to Rainbow Zahramay to investigate the cause of a weird mist produced by the falls that disrupts magic in Zahramay Falls and help Imma resolve the problem. Imma can use water magic that allows her to manipulate water using her magic staff which she also uses to activate the locks that control the flow of rainbow water to the falls. Ayla ( voiced by Liliana Mumy ) - A hair - changing genie who has the power to change hairstyles. Minu ( voiced by Kitana Turnbull ) - A flitter genie. Animals All animals in the series are voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. Tala -- Shimmer 's pet gibbon monkey. She has green eyes and wears white pearls, like Shimmer does. Tala is shown to be a talented dancer. Nahal -- Shine 's white Bengal tiger cub. She wears pink jewels and a gold circlet, like Shine does. She has a talent for playing the keyboard. Rocket -- Zac 's pet dog who appears in several episodes of the first season and reappears in the third season. He is a rambunctious dog with a tendency to drool and chew on things which often causes trouble, though is simply an overly playful pouch who means no real harm. He has encountered Shimmer, Shine, Tala, and Nahal at various times. The only pet native to Leah and Zac 's world, he eventually is wished to Zahramay Falls by Zac though is mistakenly seen as a monster by genies like Kaz and animals native to genie world like Parisa and Zain who are unfamiliar with dogs at first due to dogs not being native to their world, with the exception of Shimmer, Shine, Tala, Nahal, and Samira. After helping Zac stop Zeta from stealing Samira 's staff, Samira permits Rocket to accompany Zac when he visits Zahramay Falls. Nazboo -- Zeta 's taking pet dragon, who caters to her every need and acts as Zeta 's underling. She is somewhat clumsy and often accidentally causes Zeta 's schemes to backfire. She can also get easily distracted by food or anything that piques her interest. She also enjoys getting an occasional tummy rubs from Zeta. Though she acts as Zeta 's underling most of the time, she is friendly towards Leah, Zac, and their genies as well as their pets to the point she often greets them by saying `` Hi, Friends ! '' even in the middle of one of Zeta 's schemes. Unlike Zeta, she is generally more considerate of others and prefers to play fair in competitions though usually assists Zeta in cheating. In the third season, she is revealed to be from Manetikar, The Land of Dragons and befriended Zeta when she came to Manetikar to find a dragon for a pet. Feeling sorry for Zeta after her attempt to make one of the larger flying dragons her pet failed, she agreed to become her pet and went home with her to her lair in Zahramay Falls, where she has lived ever since. She has a sister and two brothers who resemble him in appearance and personality. Royal -- Princess Samira 's pet peacock, who resides in her palace. Royal is the polar opposite of Shimmer and Shine 's pets, as she would much rather show off her feathers or practice walking gracefully than play or dance. Unlike Samira, Royal has a strong dislike for Zeta and Nazboo, to the point of literally chasing them out of Samira 's Palace on one occasion. Once a year, she sheds a special feather with the ability to repair any magical object. Parisa -- Leah 's pet Zahramay fox who possesses the ability to camouflage himself, making him practically invisible, whenever he wants. e also has a talent for painting. Parisa is introduced midway through the second season. Like Kaz and Zain, he was initially scared of Rocket, due to being unfamiliar with dogs, though not to the same degree that Kaz and Zain were. Zain -- Kaz 's pet Ziffilon ( a griffin - like creature ). Kaz had always wanted a pet Ziffilon before getting Zain, so Zac uses one of his wishes to wish up a Ziffilon for Kaz. Zain is by far the largest of the pets, as he is big enough for Kaz to ride on his back, though despite his size Zain gets scared easily even more so than Kaz. Like most Ziffilons his favorite food is Zlam Berries and is originally from Ziffilon Island. Though he gets along with the other pets, he is frightened by Rocket at first due to being unfamiliar with dogs though after Zac reminds Kaz and Zain how other genies were scared of Zain at first, he and Kaz manage to overcome their initial fear of Rocket. Zoomicorns - Winged Unicorns native to Zahramay Falls and Rainbow Zahramay introduced in the second season. They are friendly and helpful creatures who occasionally aid the girls and allow them to ride them. There is also a game called Zoomicorn Toss, where players ride flying Zahramay Cloud Boards while trying to throw rings around a Zoomicorn 's horn as it flies around, without the use of magic as using magic is considered unfair. The only known named Zoomicorn, is Gleam who lives in Rainbow Zahramay that is a friend of the Glitter Genie Afina whom the girls meet and befriend during one of their adventures in Rainbow Zahramay in the third season. Scallywag - The magical pet of the Pirate Genie Captain Zora, who helps Zora remember things that she forgets such as names and the meaning if words and phrases used by pirates. Scallywag flies around by spinning her tail in helicopter like fashion. Her magic goes out of control when scared causing random magic effects. Nazboo 's Family - Nazboo 's three siblings Razboo, Kazboo, and Frank who are introduced in the third season. They all small flightless dragons that resemble Nazboo in appearance and share his friendly playful nature as well as his love of food and tummy rubs, though Nazboo and his siblings tend to get into trouble when they are together much to Zeta 's frustration and annoyance, when they come to visit Nazboo. His sister Razboo has purple scales and wears a bow on her head. His brother Kazboo has green scales and a mohawk, while his brother Frank has blue scales and wears a bowtie. While Kazboo and Razboo are capable of speech like Nazboo, Frank 's vocabulary is apparently limit to saying his own name which does n't rhyme with his other siblings ' names.
