♠ Character Info
Name: Jasmine
Movie/series: Aladdin
Year/Position: 1st Year College
Non/Speaking Animal/Companion(if any): None~
Powers: None
Canon history: Here.
AU history: Born into royalty, Jasmine spent all of her days growing up inside Agrabah’s palace walls. Horribly sequestered from the world outside, not to mention smothered by the world inside, she longed to be able to make her own decisions and go where she pleased. That longing led her to run away from the palace, where she eventually met and was saved by a boy in the marketplace. Without her title as a princess to change how he acted towards her, she found herself treated as a normal girl, and soon found herself enamored with the young man . He was brave, cunning, kind, and full of hope; that was something she didn’t see often in the men that frequented the palace. However, fate proved far too cruel; Jafar had sent Razoul and his fellow guards to hunt down the boy. Unable to disobey Jafar, even after Jasmine revealed herself and ordered them to stop, the boy was sent to the dungeons, and Jasmine was returned to the “safety” of the palace.
When questioning Jafar about the warrant for the boy’s arrest, she was told (and subsequently believed) that he was unfairly sentenced to death. Heartbroken for the first time in her life, bitter, angry, and repulsed by Jafar, she spent the next few days in tearful agony, mourning her friend... the only friend she ever made (outside of Rajah).
However, as time passed, something seemed off, even to her; her misery went beyond that of normal grieving... It was then that the Mist first began to sweep into the deserts of Agrabah, slowly but surely affecting the people in the city. Alongside her father and his vizier, they successfully evacuated the kingdom into the north-western regions of the Middle Kingdom, away from the Mist’s grasp. Without the “security” of the Palace walls serving as her protective cage, she was confined to a guarded tent. As one can imagine, the lack of space and liberty made for a very restless princess. She trapped in that ridiculously space under the guise of “security,” her home was in danger, and she was unable to properly help her people. None of that sat agreed with her heart, already so distraught from the boy’s apparent death.
The only redeeming factor of being evacuated and confined? The law demanding she marry before her 16th birthday had put on hold since proper ceremonies couldn’t be carried out so far from the sanctity of the Palace. However, it wasn’t much consolation. She spent her days pacing about, trying to figure out how to make herself useful when she was in such a predicament.
Then, a ray of hope was delivered to her: a letter of acceptance from Walt Disney Academy, signed by the headmaster himself. This was her chance! She could escape being cooped up, help find a way to stop and destroy the Black Mist (which had uprooted her father and her people from their relatively happy lives), and it had the extra bonus of proving herself capable as not only a Princess, but also as an independent young woman. Determination renewed, she begged and pleaded with the Sultan (while away from Jafar’s ears, of course). After reassuring him that she would be safer at the Academy, and after giving him the promise of returning with a way to reclaim their home and kingdom, he let her go with a heavy heart.
A year has passed since then.
She made a few friends while at the Academy, and lost most of them to their decision to leave; however, many of her memories of a handful of individuals has become foggy, leaving her with nothing but inexplicable feelings of hopelessness and heartache, usually rearing their heads after reoccurring nightmares. Something about... someone... she can’t put her finger on it, though.
Personality: Jasmine can a very sweet and caring individual. When given the opportunity and the right setting, she manages to sympathize and empathize with those around her; however, she finds it exceedingly difficult to do this when the person is over-confident, cocky, rude, crass, etc. (Examples: Prince Achmed, initially Prince Ali, the apple peddler) . The people who get to see her demonstrate her understanding tend to either be completely innocent or have proven themselves worthy enough to get past her emotional barrier.
This princess is exceedingly opinionated and knows what she wants. She typically refuses to stoop to anything lower unless it’s absolutely necessary (Example: swallowing her pride to seduce Jafar even though he disgusts her). Stubborn to the core, those who get on her “bad list” (such as Jafar and Iago in canon) are typically on it for life, unless they can prove their worth and loyalty. She’s more than happy to speak her mind and stand up for what she believes in; loss of tact may, from time to time, be inevitable when she does. She’s also shown to resort to force if need be, though she’s not physically strong or adept at fighting. When that fails, she has shown to use her position in society as a princess to order people to cease (Razoul arresting Aladdin).
She can be a great judge of character, but not always. She falls prey to those who lie convincingly, but Allah forbid she catches someone in their lies. Malevolent or needless lying is one thing in her book she can’t stand, more so than anything else; it can make or break one’s relationship with her. This is because when she puts her trust into someone, she expects them to cherish that trust like a irreplaceable treasure. Lying quickly compromises that. Similarly, when people put their trust in her, and if she accepts it wholeheartedly, she knows (and expects the others to realize) that she would never betray it. That’s not to say occasional fibbing doesn’t happen; she does understand the reasons behind it (heck, she even does it herself, such as pretending to like Ali on the balcony, or tricking Jafar into thinking she had fallen in love with him). There is, however, a difference between lying to protect or harmlessly put off and lying for malicious purposes (such as Jafar lying about Aladdin’s death so that he could use the boy to fetch the lamp) or purposely hiding the truth when it’s unnecessary (Ali hiding that he’s not really a prince). It is thar level of falsehood and deceit that she cannot stand.
All the same, she carries the assumption that most of the everyday people are generally good, and that they wouldn’t take advantage of her. This most likely comes from a lack of normal interactions between various types of people, as she was kept hidden away most of her life.
Most of the interactions she’s had over her years have been with animals (as seen throughout the canons; they include birds, fish, Rajah the tiger, and horses). Because of this, she finds it easier to relate to animals than humans, even if she does love interacting with real people. Her affinity for animals typically makes it easier for her to handle them ( if Rajah obeying only her, the birds refusing to fly away when she holds them isn’t enough proof, she’s shown the ability to tame a supposedly untamable horse in “Follow Your Dreams.” Along those lines, and a bit off topic, though the various canons of Aladdin, it’s been seen that she’s incredibly adept at horseback riding, which gives way for reason to believe she has studied it since she was young).
When people assume she’s incapable of something that she knows she isn’t, she makes sure to take pride in proving them wrong. She’s a quick learner (pole-jumping over the rooftops of Agrabah) and thoroughly enjoys learning, particularly if it’s hands-on. She loves the challenge of taking on something new, though, like many other people, she’s been seen to become discouraged if it doesn’t go as planned.
While she is indeed proud and confident, she’s also shown to be vain; while she doesn’t let it get the best of her all the time, it does rear its ugly head here and there. She clearly takes pride in her looks (brushing her hair in front of a mirror, for what seems to have been for an extended period of time) and the way she dresses (the many outfits of Jasmine throughout the movie and TV canon). At the same time, she’s well aware of how men perceive her; she knows they find her attractive and has played on that factor several times to seduce them (with damn good motives, though; such as to emphasize her point against flamboyant suitors like Ali and to keep Jafar sidetracked while Aladdin tried to fetch the lamp). However, she doesn’t want people to like her only for her looks, status, and wealth. Even with her vanity, she wishes for people to like her (or heck, even hate her) for who she is as a person.
Greatest Fear: Jasmine’s terrified of being trapped; it doesn’t necessarily need to be a particular place, but rather, a situation. She needs the ability to be able to change aspects of her life, to get away from certain people (for a small or extended period of time), to be free to live, and do the things she wants to. After all, that was the reason she ran away initially; she was not only confined to the palace, but to the promise of being wed to someone she couldn’t love, who would control her life and what she could and couldn’t do. All of that played into why she despised being Jafar’s personal “slave” in canon, though her disdain for him certainly didn’t work in his favor either.
She had actually faced this fear several times in the previous game (though, due to the incredibly complicated player plot, she wont remember the majority of it); she was trapped in a downward spiral of self-loathing, fear, and confusion, thanks to months of psychological, emotional, and physical “torture” at the hands of Mozenrath. While I cannot say if something similar will or won’t happen again, it proves to be a good example of what I mean by situation vs. location.
Has your character been at the Academy before/ does your character remembering being at the Academy before?: Yes, she has; she’s been there for just about a year, now. Her memory of her time spent there is selective (much of it is foggy).
What are you plans with this character?: I wish to continue to delve into her characterization through interacting with the various characters in the game. I feel Jasmine’s very diverse in personality and has many facets (and different things that trigger those facets). I want to keep exploring them and building her. I also want to involve her in new player-plot through said interactions, though hopefully nothing as drastic and ridiculously long-term as the one at the previous game (for obvious reasons).
Previous players with returning characters from disney_academy only:
How has the Black Mist affected your character’s memory, if at all?: All memories of Mozenrath, Hades, and Aladdin have been compromised in different ways. I’ve done this in order to change her canon point from the end of the TV series to the beginning of the first movie.
For Mozenrath, she cannot remember any specific about him, his face, or voice, though his impact on her will still been around somewhat; the nightmares will continue, though they will be handled as if they are inexplicable. She wont know he was the original cause of them.
Per agreement with Becca, we’ve decided to scrap the Hades plot. All memories of him have been compromised completely.
Aladdin’s situation is similar to Mozenrath’s. She wont remember his face, voice, or anything about him. The last clear memory of him will be the market boy’s arrest. She won’t know his name, and assumes that the boy is dead. However, she has vague recollections of what happened with him at the Academy, though it feels far more like a dream than reality due to the hazy and vague quality of the memories.
Are there any noteworthy events that happened to your character in the previous game?:
-Pratically a whole year of intense psychological, emotional, and occasionally physical torture at the hands of Mozenrath; this won’t carry over except in her nightmares or Mist-induced flashbacks.
-Breaking her engagement to Aladdin as a result of said torture; this won’t make a difference now that the canon point has changed.
-She failed Dream Training, making her more susceptible to the Mist.
-However, due to the intense emotional chaos that was constantly inside her during the latter half of her year there, the Mist actually had caused her to temporarily lose all key emotions when it was around.
-Jasmine exchanged her hand in order to bring back Meg in a deal with Hades; this will not carry over.
♠ Writing
Third person writing sample: Heavy.
Everything felt heavy, as if every bone, every organ, every drop of blood within her was made of lead. That was the first thing the Princess noticed as consciousness slowly returned to her, pulling her limp body back to the surface of reality.
The second thing she noticed was how cold she was. She could feel the goosebumps on her arms and legs, the freezing sensation of the floor against her skin. Her eye began to open, squinting as light invaded her vision, painful and somehow foreign. Blurred sight eventually gave way to clarity as she looked around herself, confused, dazed, and for all she knew, still half-asleep. What her eyes beheld was certainly not the walls or furniture of her dorm, but it was pleasantly familiar. Grass, trees, potted plants (all overgrown as if no one had cared for them), and concrete... well, no wonder she was cold! She had been lying on the man-made stone for who-knows-how-long. But... how in the world did she even get in the quad?
Jasmine sat up, groaning, moving her aching muscles for what felt to be the first time in months. However, the urge to lay right back down again hit her like a ton of bricks, sudden dizziness causing her head to spin, a heavy fog permeating her mind. Briefly, the images of two young men flashed before her eyes, only to disappear completely from her mind in an abrupt, sharp, and very much unnatural purging beyond her control. Even mere moments after the images left her, try as she might, she couldn’t recall anything about them. Even something as simple as eye and hair color alluded her.
What in Allah’s name just happened?! Frantically, she searched her mind for memories... there was a good handful of uneventful and mundane activities she could recall with ease: watching Axel practice, sharing ice cream with Meg, studying in the library, tea with Elisa. However, much to her bafflement, she couldn’t account for her entire year of enrollment. It was as if... as if a whole part of her history had been erased.
An uneasy and strange feeling settled on her shoulders: unusually relief but confusion and a bit of anxiety, among other unrecognizable twinges of this and that.
Who... were they? The thought leaves her wincing as a thudding pang thunders against her head. Screw it; there was no way she would figure any of that out with a migraine, much less sitting on the ground in the middle of Quad by her lonesome. Knees wobbling as she stood up, she stumbled a few paces before she regained her balance and hastily walked back to her dorm inside Hoover Hall.
First person writing sample: [Confounded machine... poor Jasmine was never any good with the communicators.] How do I turn it on again? Allah, this would be so much easier if my head was not throbbing... Ah!
[Eventually, she finds the right switch and her weary face comes into view.]
Does anyone know what in the world just happened? I am afraid I do not understand.
[A beat as she pauses, pursing her lips; as much as she wants to ask about why it felt like she had forgotten something... someone... very important, she knows that this isn’t the time for it. Not to mention that she’s not so sure she likes the idea of relative strangers answering that particular question.]
That should be all. Thank you. [She looks a little upset as she switches the privacy tab on, sending out a more personal message to the few people that had managed to get close to her. Princess most definitely appears a great deal more concerned as she speaks into the device.]
Meg, Axel, Elisa, Brooklyn. Are you all alright? You are not harmed, are you?
