Biography[]

Ariella was a retail clerk who worked at a men's boutique somewhere in California. One of her customers was a man who called himself Nathaniel Demerest. Demerest was actually an evil Djinn in disguise, who acquired the souls of unsuspecting humans by granting them wishes. After flirting a bit with Demerest at her station, she asked him how he would like to pay for his purchases. He left the decision to her. When she said "cash", the money suddenly appeared inside of her top. Demerest probed further, asking her if she would like to remain beautiful forever. Thinking nothing of it, Ariella said that she would like to remain young and beautiful forever. Using his power for sadistic purposes, he then turned her into a mannequin.

The Djinn continued to grant wishes to other people, but it was ultimately an appraiser from Regal Auctioneers named Alexandra Amberson who undid him. With her final wish, she undid the events of the previous two days, preventing the Djinn from ever awakening. As such, none of the actions that he had committed actually took place, including Ariella's transformation into a mannequin.

Notes & Trivia[]
