Ghinelle (Empath stories)

Ghinelle is a character who is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. She is a female genie whom Smurfette encountered in the forest, who lives in a bottle of perfume, and often smells like perfume whenever she appears.

Ghinelle sympathizes with Smurfette being the only adult female Smurf in the village and often tries to help her be seen as an equal among her fellow Smurfs by granting her wishes, though the wishes Ghinelle grants along those lines have unexpected side effects. At one time, when Smurfette wished that she could have all the answers like Papa Smurf so that the other Smurfs could see her as intelligent, Ghinelle granted that wish, but it had the side effect of making every male Smurf in the village increasingly less intelligent until even Empath had the same intelligence as Dimwitty Smurf. Like Smurfette, Ghinelle dislikes Hefty's chauvinistic attitudes toward females and at one time cursed Hefty to be a female Smurf for an entire day, which really made Hefty angry to the point of feeling violated.
