Jinnie Fay, also called Jinnie Myra,[1] is an elf druid of the Cabaretti family in New Capenna.
Description
Jinnie is the adopted daughter and right hand of Jetmir, the boss of the Cabaretti on New Capenna.[1][2] She has cat and dog familiars, named Muri and Regis.[3]
History
An orphan discovered in the Mezzio by Cabaretti talent scouts, Jinnie Fay proved herself a skilled fighter in the service of the Vantoleone's guards. Her talent with blades caught the eye of Jetmir, who brought her on to his guard; she endeared herself to the old leonin, who looks upon her as a daughter he never had. Deadly, beautiful, and with a deep love for life's finery, Jinnie now lives as the heir apparent to the Cabaretti. In addition to being Jetmir's most loyal, trusted lieutenant, Jinnie spends much of her time managing the Cabaretti's vast kennels where expert menagerie-keepers raise rare breeds of urban wildlife and exotic teacup creatures.[4]
During the events of the Crescendo and the Adversary War, Jinnie made an uncomfortable, often abrasive temporary alliance with Elspeth and Vivien to protect Jetmir, her adoptive father, from the the Adversary's henchmen.[5] Rebuffed in her efforts to steal Giada back from the planeswalkers,[6] Jinnie now focuses on rebuilding the broken Cabaretti to their prior glory.[7]

Trivia
- The Cabaretti had a much louder Cat and Dog theme in early vision design, but it got scaled back as it didn’t thematically fit as well as R&D had hoped. Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second is a holdover design from that era.[8]
