Unlike what one would expect from an all-magical genie, Genie of the Lamp has a very happy, fun-loving character and is rarely seen without a big smile on his face.
Genie normally wears a red sash around his waist, a gold earring which in the movies is seen on his right ear, and a pair of gold bracelets that come off after his freedom is given to him (by the next movie, Genie is seen wearing the bracelets again) and wears baggy pants with brown curly-pointed shoes. For most of the first movie, Genie is seen mostly with his lower-half as smoke, but, after being freed by Aladdin, Genie is seen more on two legs. His default appearance, though, is a blue, barrel-chested man with three fingers and black hair tied in a ponytail and a beard with a swirl that sticks out at the chin. Throughout all three movies, Genie has been seen in various forms including some notable impersonations.
