Character
Whisp originated as Gigi Grant's shadow, became vengeful after being left behind, and later transformed into a true genie seeking redemption.
Whisp started out as the literal shadow of Gigi Grant. She was brought to life during an eclipse by a wish made by one of Gigi's finders who, by the idea of Giles Grimm, wished for her a permanent friend.
Whisp is clever, mischievous and funny, and bursting with new ideas. She is, however, also the jealous type, which can come in the way of her good side.

- Eclipse Genie: Whisp is almost identical to her shadow form during a solar eclipse, except her body becomes solid, gigantic and she stands on two legs instead of a tail.
- Lantern Genie: As a lantern genie, she is a near-identical twin image of Gigi with a few differences.
- Floating: Whisp can float which is her main way of transportation considering her lack of legs.
- Whisper Persuasion: Djinni can persuade Gigi's finders by whispering orders.
- Shadow Morphing: Whisp can choose to either remain a shadow or turn into a humanoid shadow.
