Instead of being trapped in the cave she gets out easily, without the help of the genie, and is intelligent and brave rather then a coward.
She uses the genies powers to help others and catches the attention of the sultan who asks that she come visit him and his"son".
I am torn between them wooing her into marriage, and she forces them to do many great deeds or them rape her because of her beauty and revenge.
Think I will go on the wooing route, where they have to bring her many gifts within a certain period of time: 40 basins of gold and jewels, with 80 well dressed slaves. Essentially she makes them give her all their riches with out their knowledge. While doing this she wins over the heart of the people an soldiers, turning them away from the sultan.
The Magician does not come back to steal the lamp because she had paid him retribution for his previous loss, knowing it was a good thing to have him on her side rather then against her and knowing a magician is a good thing to have in ones back pocket.
Basically turn Aladdin into an intelligent girl who knows how to get what she wants. Someone who knows how to watch and learn, a patient huntress who thinks off all the angles before acting.
