Gene Grant

"You have to be specific with your wishes, you know~"

- Gene Grant to Sharif Ad-Din

Gene Grant is a 2019-introduced and all-around fanon character. He is part of the story Aladdin as the next Genie of the Lamp, and he is a student at Ever After High. On the destiny conflict, he is on the Rebel side because he wants to be released from his imprisonment in the lamp and travel to see the world.

Personality
Gene is an arrogant, relatively naive, and childish genie. He is rather loud and likes to make flashy entrances whenever he announces himself in a room. Gene is aware of his vast magical powers and often exploits them for his personal amusement. However, when it comes to wish granting, he shows a more responsible side and reminds his summoner that there are consequences to the wishes.

Despite being a mischievous character, he is surprisingly gentle and caring underneath. He is quick to take note of others' emotional states, such as noticing when Callum wants to be left alone during one of his bad moods and sits quietly nearby, in case he wants to open up and talk about it. He constantly seeks entertainment and dislikes being alone because of his solitary life inside the lamp.

Appearance
Gene has short dark purple hair that reaches his upper neck, with some of it tied into a small ponytail and orange eyes. His body from the neck down is a blue-purple gradient color while his face is pale white.

Family
He is the son of the Genie of the Lamp.

Sharif Ad-Din
Gene is close with Sharif and thinks of him as a brother. Although the two get along well most of the time, they sometimes can be heard arguing over the wishes. A past incident caused Gene to become protective of Sharif and worry over him whenever he wants to make a wish. Nevertheless, he always obeys Sharif's commands because it is his duty as the genie.

Callum Pillar
No one knows why, but Callum doesn't hate Gene like he does with everybody else. The two of them bond through their different magical abilities and share stories about their home. Gene finds Callum to be a fun kind of person and understands when he wants to be left alone during one of his moods.

Romance
Ever since Gene met the cloaked fairy Ella Glamourwing in Magicology class, he started acting more obnoxious than usual whenever she's around. Gene would tease and play pranks on Ella to get a reaction from her, much to her dismay. He doesn't seem to be aware of his own feelings and gets confused when he feels irritated after seeing another guy with her. The only one who knows the true intentions of his playful behavior and possessiveness are his best friends, but they prefer to let him figure it out on his own.
