- A short story to birth. (Idea and rough sketch)

Concepts are <Voluptuous teenager> <Arabic dancer> <Star>
The monster girl of this post is the "genie" of the lamp!
The origin is the spirit that appears in "Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp", which is one of the famous tales in The Arabian Nights. In this story, the spirit appears from the lamp and grants wishes.
The name "genie" comes from the Arabic word "jinni", which means spirits or demons. Female jinni also called "jinniyah".
I chose "genie" because it makes sense to me as the race.
Genies in the MGE world have power that grants wishes for who summoned them.
I thought a lot about how to put this too omnipotent power into the setting in MGE world.
In early, I got an idea that they require essence in proportion to the magnitude of the wish and requirement can be eternal intercourse if the wish is too big. However, this is not enough because a bad person can use the power for evil if they get the lamp.
Genies are monster girls being true to their desire and doing whatever they please.
As the result, keeping their nature that grants the wishes, I designed them have the mode of life that they twist the wish with their body if they do not like it.
As described in the encyclopedia, they are restricted for controlling their power. One of these is a given that "only three wishes", which is well-known for Aladdin, the Disney film. However, the given almost lost its substance because they turned into monsters.
They grant only three wishes just in a stated principle, but it is almost meaningless like that the number of times of wishes increases when they like a man and they extend it if three is not enough to make a man her husband.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first rough sketch, the design was already almost completed! I took in elements widely known such as harem pants and ponytail that comes from queue hairstyle because she is the genie of the lamp.
These elements are so typical, which are seen in old characters such as Akubi-chan who appears in an old anime The Genie Family.
It was a bit hard to decide her color, especially for her hair color.
Black can be associated with not mystical things such as spirits, but real world things like human and animals.
Green hair was strong accent, but she became like named character that is far from standard individual, so this was not suitable for the encyclopedia.
Consequently, I chose whitish color, which has a mystical impression.
Their hair and smokes have the same color because they are magical being and smokes and hair are a part of their body, which is made of their mana.
Her expression is cheerful and cute as if that she says "You sneeze, I please, that's the way it goes". In addition, she has a mean face because genies seduce and induce men.
I took in Arabic dancer style into her costume along with harem pants. I tried to minimize the area of her bra and panty, but not to be dirty.
The smoke in the pants inflates its silhouette, and produces the pattern by flowing continuously.
The ornament of magic lamp and her neckless have the same design. This comes from that the god of the sun created genies and lamps together. It means that both existences have the same nature.
In addition, there are many star-shape accessories. For example, stars hide in lines between star and star on anklet and bracelet.
Who created genies is the god of the sun, the same god who gave power to pharaohs, which are kings of deserts.
For that reason, genies wear golden accessories as same as pharaohs and their subordinates.
However, the pharaoh is "sun" but the genie is "star".
Both are celestial body, but the star is a motif that attributed to "night" rather than the sun and "day". In this point, genies have things in common with apophes, which are dressed in accessories of "moon".
This is because the god of the sun used mana of monsters when he created genies, demons of the lamp.
Because of this, they easily turned into monster in spite of they were not monster originally!
