AppearanceAli Baba is around 6’0 making her a tall woman with a decently well shaped body that form into more of coke bottle shape than an hour glass, though most of her physical appearance is in her long legs. Because of her past Ali hates any and all forms of make-up and as such more often than no will be seen just naturally the most she’ll do is style her hair as it goes down to her back it’ll look like wild growth if nothing is done about it. She can usually be seen wearing silk or fine cotton clothing, mostly dresses (that make a split down her leg), skirts that stop just above the knee and any form of luxurious looking top; almost always loose clothing that hangs from her figure. Even without foundation, eye liner, blush or any form of makeup Ali baba still manages to be a very lovely looking desert flower.
"My tastes aren't so easy to satisfy"
PersonalityObjectively mean is the best way to describe Ali. She knows what it’s like to be ruled by men and as such has a tendency to look down on them when she knows she’s got the upper hand these days. Ali is reluctant to help anyone however if there’s nothing in it for her seeking reward or compensation for the smallest deeds. At her core she is a greedy woman wanting more gold to ‘fill the void’, always running from poverty although she’s the furthest from it, knowing all to well how easy it is to lose money due to thieves or lies has turned her into a very paranoid person when It comes to her money as such she is always wary when she knows for a fact another thief is around (Aladdin cough cough).
She can be sarcastic and quick witted when need be after all she did trick all forty thieves and her master to grab everything she needed to procure her place in life. She can come off as manipulative or untrustworthy when that isn’t the case, Ali will more times than not tell the truth when asked the right question, nothing she tells outright is completely accurate as she has a nasty tendency to withhold small tid bits of information on purpose mostly to see if you’re paying attention. When dealing with a woman she tends to act more understanding and empathetic, always down to listen to another’s problems and off advice not for free but very much discounted.
Ali Baba is a flamboyant showoff. The clothes she wears are always some form of luxury from somewhere, always somewhat loose and hanging from her body, every motion, every movement is exaggerated and dramatic meant to draw your eye away from your coin purse but somewhere along the lines this act because a part of her and just feels so natural when seen. She doesn’t walk she struts with her nose raised in the air with an air of confidence that almost seems obnoxious.

Captivity scares her more than being poor, chains and iron bars decorated her childhood and she would do anything to avoid reliving that hell again.
"I'm a connoisseur of the finer things in life"
HistoryThe woman everyone knows as Ali Baba isn’t the real Ali Baba in fact he’s been dead for a very long time but to understand how this happened you need to revisit the story of Ali Baba and the Forty thieves.
Ali Baba and his elder brother Cassim were the sons of a no name merchant, after the father died, Cassim somehow managed to marry a wealthy woman and becomes a lazy well-to-do good-for-nothing. Ali Baba married a poor woman and began a hard life as a woodcutter. One day, Ali Baba was working in a faraway forest and over hears forty thieves talking about their treasure and decides to trail them to their hideout, a caved sealed with magic and only the words “Open Sesame” will release it. When the thieves leave Ali Baba sneaks in and steals a single bag of gold coins.
The couple borrows Ali’s sister-in-law’s scales to weigh in their new found wealth. However, Cassim’s wife puts wax on the scales to find out what they were using them for naturally just out of curiosity. To her amazement a single gold coin stuck to the scale and tells Cassim, who forced his brother to show him the cave. The greedy Cassim brought a donkey to steal everything he could, but in his thieving heist he forgot to do the most important thing and that was… leave the scene of the crime and in appropriate fashion the forty thieves catch him in the act and kill Cassim. Ali Baba barely made it out panicking about the death of his brother, but having no time Ali Baba ran back home with the forty thieves behind him.
Meanwhile, in Cassim’s household a slave girl who had been eased dropping on her master and his brother also learned of the location of the treasure and saw fit to sneak out herself. As night fell the slave girl found her way to the cave one “Open Sesame” later and she was making it away with more gold than she had ever known but something special caught her eye. A lamp…dusty, old but gold, she had heard stories about lamps and how they could be sold for more than dreams would allow all it needed was a good rub. One rub was all it needed and the genie was free, but the thieves were back with Ali Baba’s head and caught her but not the Genie. At first they were just going to kill her and move on with their lives, but a fine slave girl was too much to pass up, “I could free you,” the genie whispered “That’s not enough,” she whispered back. “What is your name woman” one of the thieves asked her name wasn’t even known to her so when he asked “Ali Baba” she answered back.
The first few months were the hardest and still the Genie hid himself from sight still whispering sweet nothings of freedom into her ear, but she didn’t trust him or any man for that matter. Soon enough she broke up the pressure “We both seek freedom, allow me to inhabit your body and we she both be free’d from our shackles” the Genie said, striking a deal with her “All I ask is that you obey my commands when called upon, otherwise my power is yours” He explained. “You need only speak my true name and I shall obey” The slave agreed, biting her bottom lip and cursing under her breath ashamed she had to agree to such a deal. The pact was made and this wish and all its details were in full agreement, once the thieves were all dealt with “Now Ali Baba I command thee to relinquish your body and soul to me for all eternity” The genie commanded, but nothing happened, all it did was make the girl laugh “Ali Baba!” the magical creature yelled, “Ali Baba isn’t my true name” She whispered.
With all his magical power he scanned the girl for her real name but because she didn’t even know her own true name it was all for naught making her his new lamp only now nothing could free him and he was completely enslaved to her till he learned her name or till all of time ended.
-Jump to present day-
Ali Baba or Saara has since adapted to human life although she would rather be back in her real home lounging on a mountain of gold like she used to and having a single story home and forced to use magic to make it bigger on the inside than the outside is a real annoyance to her. Thankfully the limited use of her magical power enables her to see into regular humans souls and see into their personal timeline futures a service many will pay good money for and something she is more than happy to provide.
