Hi, welcome back to tumblr!! I hope this isn’t weird but as soon as I saw you reblog the jiin art I drew in 2019 I was consumed by thoughts of “oh my goddddd I could do better now 😭” so I made an updated version! I can’t use my iPad rn so it’s not digital unfortunately & it’s a little messy & not like an absolute masterpiece or anything but jiin was fun to draw and it’s nice for me to see that I did improve even if it wasn’t as much as I wanted to so!! Yeah!! Jiin fanart: 2025 edition!

I couldn’t sleep so as per usual I felt the urge to draw to distract myself. I’m still kinda disappointed I didn’t have the energy to make a full version of Pariah Dark but I’ll get around to it eventually. In the meantime you guys voted for Desiree next so here we go! Also, shout out to @dnpanimationstudioclone for brainstorming a few ideas with me that you’re about to see! Be sure to check out their own artwork of Desiree too!

As for my version I wanted to combine the gold in her original outfit with the blue one she wears as a ghost. I had a lot of fun adding a lot more bangles and jewelry like that little nose ring. It took a few tries for me to settle on a look for the lower half but then I got this idea to have it kinda wrap around her spectra tail to mimic the magical smoke that appears when a Jiin/Genie leaves the bottle or lamp where their spirit resides...

As for her story, it’s a bit darker than the original where she died of old age (likely in her 40′s during that time period which was the average lifespan around that time) and a broken heart. In this version Desiree was more interested in her dancing than anything else, even riches, but even so became very close with the Sultan who promised to grant her every wish as a sign of his adoration. However, the Royal Consort, grew jealous of Desiree and arranged to have her killed after framing her for stealing from the palace. Devastated by this so-called betrayal the Sultan banished Desiree and before he had the chance to discover the truth about what had really happened she was slain by the guards assigned to escort her out of the city that were mercenaries hired by his wife.

And to add insult to injury even after her demise, the Royal Consort hired the services of a sorcerer to trap Desiree’s spirit in a bottle as a Jiin/Genie who could only grant the wishes of others but never her own. That’s why she usually maliciously complies but typically adds a dark twist to punish the greedy, cruel, and ungrateful. There are rare exceptions though where she’ll take pity on someone and grant their wish with no strings attached, usually a young woman that reminds her of herself from a more innocent time. Thankfully, with each wish Desiree grants, she comes one step closer to becoming powerful enough to finally grant one wish for herself and break free from the curse that was placed on her.

What that wish is, who can say...?
