Jenji is a powerful and quick-talking cat-like genie. He is a good friend of Mystic Force Power Rangers and partner of Daggeron, the Solaris Knight.
Biography
Not much was known about Jenji until the episode "Ranger Down", were Daggeron explaned that Jenji was banished from his homeland; cast away by the ones he loved the most. In his homeland, he was the strongest and most popular cat in the land. However, this did not sit well with Rexigan, the King Cat. Rexigan had a witch cast a spell over the entire village, convincing everyone that Jenji was evil. Everyone then turned their backs on Jenji, and he was banished.
When Daggeron found Jenji, the cat was a wandering nomad and all alone. Jenji had found some treasure, and was about to open a Evil Magical Trap. Solaris Knight arrived and tried to stop him, but Jenji didn't listen and opened the box. The Evil Magic inside the trap was about to destroy Jenji, but Solaris used his powers to place Jenji in the Lamp, and in doing so, turned him into a Genie.
Jenji is an old friend of Udonna's and the other Mystics. Jenji was Daggeron's partner, who used Jenji's lamp as the key element in the sealing of himself and Calindor within the cave nineteen years ago.
But once the Rangers found the lamp, they broke the seal, and he was free. TV STORY-Scaredy Cat
When Calindor reappeared, he tried to warn the Rangers and Udonna of him but was unable to when Calindor dumped a pile of books on top of his lamp. Once he was reunited with Daggeron, he now is usually seen hanging out with Daggeron as the pair wise crack together. TV STORY-Long Ago
The Rangers wanted to use Jenji against the Four Barbarian Beasts although Daggeron insisted that he shouldn't be used. When the Rangers fought Fightoe and 50 Below, Daggeron gave in and used Jenji's Shining Attack against the two monsters. However, this was the chance that the villains had been waiting for. Fightoe captured Jenji using his magic staff and brought him to the Underworld where Imperious released him, and, being a Genie, Jenji was forced to grant his wish: that the Mystic Force Power Rangers never existed. This allowed the forces of darkness to conquer the world. Although Jenji's magic was powerful, it proved reversible, but only by the Tribunal of Magic. When the world was restored, Leelee found Jenji's lamp and released him when he told her that she would receive one wish. As she contemplatively bit her nails, he warned her that she "shouldn't do that". Leelee moaned and told him that it was a nervous habit, saying that she wished she had never started biting them. Jenji granted her "wish", and as Leelee's nails grew almost 6 inches long, Jenji fled back to the safety of Root Core . TV STORY-Dark Wish
He was temporarily turned to stone when Serpentina's snakes bit him and then she activated her shield. Fortunately upon Serpentina's destruction he was returned to normal. TV STORY-Hard Heads
Jenji was destroyed by Sculpin in Mystic Fate when he took a direct hit from one of Sculpin's fireballs when the secondary antagonist tried to kill the Mystic Rangers but returned to life along with Daggeron and Leanbow. After the Master's final defeat, Jenji was last seen with Daggeron and Itassis in the forest. He presumably remains with Daggeron in whatever his current endeavors are. TV STORY-Mystic Fate
Personality
Personality wise, Jenji is similar to that of a Genie, but with a more useds cars sells man side aided to him, he is similar to Bulk and Skull from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, a tie between Choobo, Marah and Kapri from Power Rangers Ninja Storm and Piggy from Power Rangers S.P.D., as he (along with Toby and Clare) serves as the comic relieve for Power Rangers Mystic Force, he is quick talking, wide eyed, jolly and always positive, despite his power however, Jenji is somewhat cowardly, and retreated from Imperious in his first appearance, but he managed to overcome his fear, he can be somewhat of a trickster and kind of unfair, such as not telling the Rangers that if wish for ten wishes, they will be nullify, all tho despite his goof-off personality however, should one of his friends be in danger, he will take his mission seriously.
