Jinn

"Jinn, little know... cannot tell of self. Too young, its thought, its mind. Born to provide, to trade."

- Steel Soul Jinn

Steel Soul Jinn is a Merchant in Hollow Knight. She only appears in Steel Soul Mode, replacing Confessor Jiji.

Lore
Jinn is an outsider to Hallownest, obeying to unseen masters. She speaks in rhythm and claims to be too young to tell anything bout herself. Her metallic body canot take damage, although she still feels strikes at her. She has been sleeping in the locked cavern of Confessor Jiji, by the base of the Crystal Peak in Dirtmouth.

Hollow Knight
Steel Soul Jinn replaces Jiji in Steel Soul Mode, as the difficulty mode's permanent death makes her service useless. Instead, Jinn buys Rancid Eggs for each, which she claims her friend appreciates.

Trivia

 * The friend she mentions who likes Rancid Eggs is most likely Confessor Jiji, who is willing to offer her services for them.
 * An upcoming enemy revealed in the Silksong trailer bears striking similarity to Jinn. It is also a companion to Steel Assassin Sharpe furthering some sort of motif of "steel" between the characters.
 * Jinn was confirmed by developers to be female.
 * She is mistakenly referred to as male in some translations of the game.
