Amara Tahan is a very tanned woman who speaks with a slight middle eastern accent. She is a tall (5'8") extremely beautiful woman with long dark hair and piercing dark eyes. She looks to be in her mid 20's.  She has a shapely figure and moves very gracefully on her long legs. She is known as a Professor of Egyptian antiquities and archeologist at the Morgan Library.

The Fay at the Library know she is a Djinn, who is actually like 7' tall, prefers to wear halter tops and silk pants but otherwise doesn't look much different. She looks to be a teenager though she is known to be over a thousand years old. She is open and friendly and likes to wear a lot of different jewelry. She lives just out side the city in an old mansion as she doesn't seem to like confined spaces.
