Hama of the Lamp (Character)

Hama of the Lamp whose real name is Hama Galland or Hama is a magically, beautiful genie girl of the lamp who serves as the main protagonist of the four-part short story of the same name and one of the main characters of An Oasis for Djinns. She is mostly a best friend of Zain Al-Mushtari, until Zain Al-Mushtari also became Hama's master.
==Character description==
As a human girl, Hama was a university student of architecture in the fictional Middle-Eastern nation of Azuljubai (an island nation in the Red Sea) - she wants to create stuff that helps and beautifies the world, but is very withdrawn and socially awkward as a result of being orphaned. She struggled to make friends and was constantly dealing with bouts of anxiety and depression, but underneath all that was a gentle and kind-hearted person.
Becoming a powerful and immortal genie stripped all those fears and anxieties away as part of her transformation - she now knows herself intimately and has been set beyond any fears and doubts she had previously - plus she now has the power to play architect with the universe! It's basically allowed her innermost self to come forward, and while Hama acknowledges that part of this is due to her having undergone mental rewiring/conditioning as part of her transformation, she accepts that and is comfortable with it... though of course, that might be because her transformation forces her to accept it. Either way, she's happier as a genie than she ever was as a person.
At this point in her genie life, Hama is confident, enthusiastic and eager to grant wishes and make people's lives better - her past experiences have made her very empathetic to the pain and suffering of others, and so she very much desires to use her immense magic to improve the world one wish at a time.
Crucially, Hama's concept plays around with the classic genie master/slave dynamic - while she is compelled to grant wishes (and will do so happily) for the master of her lamp, her relationship with that master is more complicated. She's not here to just grant three wishes and then vanish - her connection to a master is a lifetime one (or until the master decides to dismiss her from their service), and so she sees herself as a guide and servant rather than a slave there to provide instant gratification. While she has to grant 'almost' any wish demanded of her, she's not above using magic on her master to ensure they don't go mad with power - be it through actively using it to teach a lesson or illustrate a point or through a kind of subtle hypnotic charm or 'influence'. Plus, if she feels they are making wishes or giving orders contrary to the 'spirit' of the agreement by which she serves, then she can BREAK her 'contract' and revoke her service - freeing herself from this master and allowing her to pass judgement on them.
==Alternate Bio==
French-born orphan Hama Galland was attending university in her mother’s Middle-Eastern homeland when a chance encounter with a magical book saw her transformed into a powerful being capable of containing and wielding vast cosmic power - a spirit of fire and light, a genie.
However this power came with the classic price. Hama’s soul now resides in a lamp created at the same time as her transformation, obliging her to serve and obey whomsoever possesses the lamp. Fortunately for Hama, the person to discover her lamp was her best friend and fellow student, Zain Al-Mushtari. Their friendship proved so strong that even when Zain became her master, Hama retained her basic human personality and many of her memories, typically lost when a genie is first bound to a master.
In her transformation, Hama has found her truest self. Freedom from the fears and anxieties that governed her life have allowed her inner light to shine forth, and while her energy and love of creation might make her reckless in turning her magic loose, she possesses a kind heart that seeks to use her new powers to help others as best as possible. This is the core of her being, and one she holds onto even as she grows in experience and confidence as a genie, as a wish-granter, and as a friend.
==Background==
===Lamp===
Hama lives trapped inside her oiled Dharmic Lamp or Dharma lamp resting on a carved wooden stand made out of her wooden chair, with a giant pink clear cloth underneath a red pillow, emblazoned with the star of the ancient kingdom of Azuljubai. Those who peer within its jeweled facets may just see a female figure dancing within, but the true worth of this treasure is revealed when one gives it a rub...
===Personality===
Hama is a playfully magical, and lovely genie girl who spends a lot of time with her master, roommate, classmate, and best friend, Zain. She is kind, sweet, pure goodhearted, respectful, peaceful, calm, and she keeps her touch on humanity. If you get on her bad-side, or make a wicked wish, she might just find a way to turn it back upon you.
===Appearance===
====Mortal State====
In Hama's former human state, she wore her usual baggy whitish light green sweaters and loose blue jeans, and she is slender, has fair skin, pink lips, brown hair flowing down her back, and dark eyes.
====Genie State====
In Hama's current genie state, she's dressed in what could only be described as a harem dancer’s bedlah, a strapless bra made from a shimmering shade of rose silk, and exposed the whole of her midriff. Her shoulders were bare drawing the eye up to her neck, which was accentuated by a choker tailored from the same rosy material. Both were trimmed with tinkling coins. She wore a pair of thick bracelets on her wrists, stud earrings connected by loops of velvet thread, and a metal circlet upon her brow. All of this jewelry, from the bracelets to the coins sewn into the bedlah, looked like real gold, radiant and luminous, and a gleaming pink gemstone was set in the center of the tiara.
Her entire skin was bubblegum purple, and she was floating two feet off the ground, bobbing slightly in mid air, her weight supported by a smoky tail. It was the same color as her skin, and extending down from her waist towards the lamp, flicking and twisting languidly.
Hama's eyes are a brilliant gold, gleaming with an inner fire that made her new jewelry look dull and tarnished by comparison. The same light seemed to shine from out of Hama’s entire being, lending a radiant glow to her plummy body, which was firm with new muscle. Her hair had grown darker and glossier, with a fullness and volume Zain had never seen outside of fashion magazines. It was tied back in a high ponytail that cascaded down Hama’s back like a dark waterfall.
===Powers and Abilities===
In Hama's dream, She became even more powerful than any other genie. She commanded, and controlled the center universe, by bending all reality around her with a cheerful smile. Like all genies who are summoned, they can grant people wishes and desires. She also moves a float like genies with tails, especially Shahra, the genie of the ring. Her powers would always carry away an element of danger.
==History==
An orphan since childhood, French-born Hama Galland was attending university in her mother’s Middle-Eastern homeland when she discovered an ancient treatise on holy temples and churches in the depths of a dusty market shop. She purchased it thinking it might help in her studies as an architect, never realizing that the divine architecture described in its pages had kindled the birth of a small but powerful spirit within the fabric of the book, one whose purpose was to pass on that power to one it deemed worthy. In its new owner, it found that worthy soul, and transformed her into a being capable of containing and wielding the cosmic power it would bestow upon her - a djinn of fire and light, a genie..
This power comes with a price however. Hama’s soul now resides in a lamp created at the same time as her transformation, and although she is powerful, only the keeper of that lamp can unlock her true powers. In so doing, that keeper would become her Master, and Hama in turn would lose her human memories and identity.
Fortunately for Hama, the person to discover her lamp was her best friend and fellow student, Zain Al-Mushtari. Their friendship proved so strong that even when Zain became her master, Hama retained her basic personality and all memories relating to their friendship, which makes her a unique case.
Like all genies, Hama now commands immense power; sustained by the cosmic web of energy that underpins the universe, she is able to tap into that energy and bend it to her whim, reshaping minds, lives, and whole worlds if so commanded, and her training as an architect has translated into an extraordinary skill at manipulating these threads of reality.
However, unlike other genies, Hama's unique circumstance mean she has not completely lost touch with her humanity, and remembered what it was like to suffer from loneliness and want, of uncertainty and fear in the face of a seemingly uncaring universe. This makes her unique amongst genies, and possibly, uniquely dangerous ...
In her transformation, Hama has found her truest self. Freedom from her mortal fears and anxieties has allowed her inner light to shine forth, and while being energetic and eager to turn her magic loose, she possesses a kind heart that seeks to use her powers to help others as best as possible. This is the core of her being, and one she holds onto even as she grows in experience and confidence as a genie, as a wish-granter, and as a friend.
Hama had once been to the Club Oasis bar with Naylee, the hypnodjinn.

==Trivia==
*Having to be transformed into the genie she was meant to be, she was absent for class the afternoon before Zain came to her house looking for her.
*Unlike female genies who live trapped inside bottles or rings, Hama lives trapped inside a lamp, like male genies do.
