Character Evolution

The Magi series is loosely based on the One Thousand and One Nights, a collection of various short stories and folk tales from the Middle East and South Asia during the Islamic Golden Age. Morgiana is based on the slave girl of Alibaba in Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. Her name Marjāna (مَرجانة) comes from the Arabic word for "coral", Marjān (مَرجان ). She begins the series as a slave, but not the slave of this series' Alibaba. Once freed from slavery, she becomes the willing companion of Aladdin and Alibaba Saluja.

Fans had often speculated that Morgiana doesn't wear underwear, and that was confirmed in the notes of some concept art. Part of the description says "Noパンツなので (No pantsu nanode)".
