Jiji of Stone

Jiji is a twelve-year-old girl from the poorest village across the archipelago. Orphaned at a young age and then hunted by the Royal Navy for “mass murder”, her life has been far from easy. But with her newfound earth magic abilities, she’s shown even the toughest of pirates that she can do just about anything.

It was seven years ago when Jiji’s father, Rotha, stumbled across an ancient lamp of the Titan of Earth. Rotha was the chief of a poor desert village, and couldn’t believe his luck when he awakened Jinichi, the Nature Genie. He commanded Jinichi to use her magic to make their crops grow larger and faster. The village soon began to flourish. But the more of Jinichi’s power Rotha used, the weaker the Genie became, and she begged him for freedom.

Rotha ignored her pleas, but Jiji could not. She smashed the lamp and set her free…but the Genie’s anger was too far gone. She cursed the crops she once helped grow and poisoned the town. Every man, woman, and child would eat the tainted crops and die. Including little Jiji.

But guilt took over when Jinichi saw the body of the child who saved her. Using the last of her magic, she returned life to Jiji and left her with a gift – the gift of earth manipulation – granthing this little girl the power of four grown men combined. Unfortunately for Jiji, as the sole survivor with newly found strength, she became the number one suspect of her own village’s destruction.

Jiji now roams the world, relying on her earth magic abilities for survival – bounty hunting, competing in tournaments, seeking treasure…all while avoiding the Navy as she goes. She doesn’t mind being alone, and she never truly is because of her connection to the earth. Grateful to the Genie who saved her life, Jiji even adopted Jinichi's name in tribute.
