Jasmine

Princess Jasmine is the deuteragonist of Disney's 1992 animated feature film Aladdin. She is the princess of Agrabah, a Middle Eastern kingdom ruled by her father, the Sultan. Rebellious and outspoken, Jasmine rebukes the oppressive control of her kingdom’s outdated laws and longs for freedom beyond the sheltered confines of palace walls.
Jasmine is loosely based on the character of Princess Badroulbadour from the Aladdin fairy tale featured in the One Thousand and One Nights storybook collection. She is also the sixth official member of the Disney Princess line-up, and the first to not be of European descent.
==Background==
Jasmine is the daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah and his late wife, residing in the kingdom's lavish palace alongside her father and loyal pet tiger, Rajah, whom she found several years before the events of the film. She believed him to be a spiritual gift from her mother, who would tell her stories about the "star tiger" named Rajah.Disney. Tales from Agrabah. Chapter Book, 1995. Print. It is revealed in the book Tales from Agrabah that, whenever Jasmine would long for her mother, she would sit on her balcony and stargaze for a period of time.
Because of her status as a princess, Jasmine was unfortunately forbidden to ever leave the palace walls, spending her life sheltered within the confines of the royal home. She often felt suffocated by the laws of her kingdom, which restricted her from socializing with her subjects, and forced her to constantly meeting suitors to possibly arrange marriages. This situation ultimately prevented Jasmine from making any connections, as she had never had any true friends (aside from Rajah), and left her with the desire to see the world and experience life outside of being a sheltered princess, which would eventually result in meeting Aladdin.
===Official Description===
:Jasmine is a dreamer who loves her pet tiger, Rajah. She's free-spirited, confident, and kind. When she meets Aladdin, she discovers the wonders she's often imagined outside the palace walls.
===Development===
Loosely inspired by the Aladdin folk tale, Howard Ashman's 1988 treatment for an animated adaptation of Aladdin included a shallow, spoiled, and materialistic princess named Jasmine, whose "brattiness" served as comic relief in the story. Her personality was fleshed out in the song "Call Me A Princess", in which she arrogantly flaunts her royal status. There was also another female character, a tomboyish street urchin named Abbi, who joined Aladdin on his quest to rescue the princess. At the end of Ashman's treatment, Aladdin is offered the princess' hand in marriage, but he ultimately refuses in favor of his true love, Abbi. However, as development on an Aladdin film furthered at the studio, Ashman's screenplay saw major revisions. The Abbi character was cut, while Jasmine was given a larger role as Aladdin's love interest. Furthermore, Jasmine's "spoiled brat" persona was scrapped in favor of a character that was more endearing and sympathetic.
In Linda Woolverton's screenplay, the relationship between Aladdin and Jasmine served as a driving force of the narrative, slowly replacing Aladdin's desire to make his mother proud (as was the case in Ashman's treatment). Woolverton also gave the princess a human handmaiden for a friend. Although Ron Clements and John Musker enjoyed the love story blossoming between Aladdin and Jasmine, they believed Woolverton's script featured too many human characters and seemed better suited for a live-action format as a consequence. They sought to remedy the issue by adding characters that were "animation-friendly", thus, the handmaiden was replaced with a pet tiger.
Even with Musker and Clements on board to direct, there was still work to be done with the story. While observing preliminary sketches of Aladdin and Jasmine (the former of whom was portrayed as a young boy, while Jasmine was a young woman), Jeffrey Katzenberg believed that a love story between the two would be seen as unrealistic, as a woman of Jasmine's age and beauty would never fall for a juvenile like Aladdin. Screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio called for an aged up and redesigned Aladdin, while also expanding Jasmine's character to be "stronger".
===Personality===
A complex and multilayered person, Jasmine is introduced as feisty and no-nonsense, with zero tolerance for anyone who dares to belittle her. Having been sheltered most of her life due to her social status, the princess spent her childhood in misery and loneliness as she was denied any friendships, with her social interactions being restricted to the royal court but because of her gender she was frequently disrespected by the Agrabah elite. The emotional and psychological impact of having her entire life controlled and her existence reduced to nothing more than an object of desire caused Jasmine to become blunt, assertive and rebellious during her adolescence as she started to resent her role as a princess. With each passing year, Jasmine became more frustrated with all the traditions her role demanded her to uphold, including being forced to remain within the palace at all times, forced to marry for political gain rather than love, and being valued only for her beauty rather than her individuality.
The girl's feelings were bottled up until, eventually, Jasmine could bear no more and rejected her position as princess altogether. However, she was quickly introduced to the harshness outside the palace life and when Aladdin was arrested, she forced herself to embrace her princess role again in hopes of saving her new friend, showcasing that she puts the needs of others before her own. When Aladdin was supposedly executed, the devastated Jasmine decided to use the little power she would have as future queen consort to get rid of all the corruption within Agrabah's elite, starting with Jafar.
When her father finally agreed to abolish the outdated laws, Jasmine was free from the old repressive customs and as such she developed a new ambition: to take an active role in her community. Jasmine is later shown to be very much a ruler of Agrabah alongside her father, instead of merely sitting around on the sidelines. She takes part in most political disputes and garners an amount of respect equal to her father. This makes her a trailblazer for women's rights in Agrabah as she will be the one-to-one day rule her nation with Aladdin as her consort.
Strong-willed and defiant, Jasmine is not afraid to speak her mind, nor will she hesitate to stand up for what she believes is right. Her open resentment towards Agrabah's outdated laws, and her belief that people should be judged solely by their character rather than their background, shows that she is progressive. Jasmine is also a free spirit. She spent most of her life isolated from people, much like the birds caged up in the beginning of the film, but during the A Whole New World sequence, she is just like the freed birds, finally being able to be her true self, and to soar to her heart's content.
In addition, Jasmine has a strong sense of independence. Upon finding out who Aladdin really was, she became outraged by how unfair it is that they cannot be together. She does not want to sacrifice her heart's desire and wants nothing more than to live her life on her own terms without interference from anybody. She demands to be treated like a person and does not hesitate to put people in their place when they treat her as anything less. Despite that, she approves of righteous authority when she feels it is necessary. When the guards arrested Aladdin, Jasmine revealed herself and commanded them to let him go. She did not hesitate to use her status as the princess to get the men to release him, and was very firm to the guards to the point where she knocked down their attempt to question her. This shows that Jasmine is direct, decisive and bold.
Jasmine is also remarkably intelligent. She is known to be quick-witted, tactical, pragmatic and resourceful. She primarily displays her intelligence through cunning and artfulness. An example of this is in the episode "The Vapor Chase", where she quickly figured out how to defeat the smoke demon Sootinai. She is also very shrewd and an excellent judge of character. This mentality allowed her to see the goodness in Aladdin, despite his background as a street urchin. Moreover, she was not only able to weed out "Prince Ali's" intentions, but also quickly deduce his true identity and trick him into revealing it. In the same vein, Jasmine was able to see through Jafar's feigned sympathy when he told her he supposedly executed Aladdin. In "Garden of Evil", she was able to see the humanity in the plant creature Arbutus and realize that he sees plant life as sacred for the same reason she sees human life as sacred, whereas others assumed that he was a soulless monster. Unlike other Disney Princesses, Jasmine is fully aware of her sex appeal and is known to cleverly use it to her advantage when she needs to. Indeed, her emotional intelligence, shrewdness and sex appeal not only prove that she is cunning, but also a talented actress. A prominent example of this occurred when Jafar took over Agrabah; when Aladdin tried to steal back the lamp, she took advantage of Jafar's lust for her by seducing him to cover for Aladdin. Another example of her acting skills is when she pretended to be Aladdin's insane sister in order to fool an unhinged vendor that tried to amputate her.
Although she appears meek, Jasmine is fiery and can carry a commanding and sometimes downright menacing presence. The most famous example is when she called out the Sultan, Jafar and "Ali" for having the audacity to dismiss her agency before she reminded them that she is not a prize to be won. Another example is how she marched right up to Jafar to get in his face about Aladdin's arrest; the princess wasted no time on pleasantries, demanding answers and admitting no resistance, successfully intimidating the Grand Vizier. Even when Jafar took over Agrabah and took Jasmine as his slave, the girl remained feisty and refused to comply with any of his demands, showcasing that Jasmine has an iron will that is not easily dominated. Although she was visibly horrified when Jafar revealed he intends to use his last wish to strip her off her free will and make her love him. Nevertheless, Jasmine is incredibly brave as showcased when she refused to bow to an all-powerful Jafar, prompting him to force her to bow by means of sorcery. Another example is how quick she was to aid Aladdin in the final battle against Jafar by grabbing hold of the latter's snake staff, despite knowing she is no match for him in a fight.
However, Jasmine's attitude often put her at odds with her father and other members of the elite, who were content with sticking to the status quo and expressed frustration with her refusal to do the same. She has been something of an outcast amongst royalty as a result, so she developed a standoffish nature and sometimes acts incredibly stubborn as a defense mechanism. More comically, releasing Rajah on those who annoy her is another defense mechanism for which she has become infamous.
Jasmine is also incredibly selfless and, as previously mentioned, she puts the needs of others before her own. This is especially highlighted when she gave up a chance for freedom from royalty to save Aladdin, being more concerned for his well-being than any consequences she would face for running away. In "Bad Mood Rising", Jasmine explains that she rules under the philosophy that, "A princess knows the needs of the people outweigh her own". Following that belief, she risked her life for Agrabah on numerous occasions: When her kingdom was terrorized in "Armored and Dangerous", she leaped into battle, with only Carpet by her side, to defend her people from Dominus Tusk's wrath. In "The Ethereal", she sacrificed her life to save a child's life, which in turn saved Agrabah from destruction at the hands of the Ethereal. In Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams, Jasmine attempts to contribute to Agrabah in ways that don't include flaunting her status as a princess - such as volunteering in schools or hospitals.
Jasmine also appears to have a motherly side to her, having a soft spot for children. This is demonstrated by how she has devoted her efforts to the well-being of children by giving a hungry child an apple, teaching and disciplining school children, sacrificing herself to save a child's life and comforting king Mamood in order to fix his nation's climate.
On the more negative aspects of her character, Jasmine can sometimes be too fussy and impulsive. She was willing to leave the palace without knowing the difference in customs between royalty and commoners; this is shown by her donating an apple to a child and being confused when the vendor demanded that she pay for it. She also has difficulty admitting when she is wrong, although she does know when she is beat, showing that while she is stubborn, she is not arrogant. In "Do the Rat Thing", she took offense when Aladdin declared that she didn't know what it's like to be a "street rat", despite the fact that he was right.
===Physical appearance===
Princess Jasmine is a slender young Arabian woman of average height and incredible beauty. She has light brown skin, high cheekbones, red lips, brown eyes, aquiline nose and straight, lush jet black hair reaching her thighs.
Jasmine's casual outfit was designed to be simple, resembling that of Arabian Harem women. She wears a sky blue (later turquoise) bedlah top that reveals her midriff and navel with sewn-in off-the-shoulder straps, matching salwar pants with a light-blue V-shaped waistline and golden, curled shoes with brown soles. Her hairstyle resembles a cobra and is worn in a ponytail in two sections with matching teal bands and ending in a small swirl with this outfit. She wears a turquoise headband which is centered with a sapphire with a gold border adorned into it. She also dons two large golden earrings completely covering her ears and a matching necklace.
For formal occasions, such as the announcement of her engagement, Jasmine wears a purple dress. Opposite of her casual wear, this dress covers most of her body like a normal gown, with the fabric reigning down from her shoulders to her feet. The top half of the dress is strapless, and the lower half consists of a belt piece (centered with a sapphire) and a transparent pink veil that flows down, just below her calves. She also wears a headband with a similar royal blue jewel, while her hair is tied in a ponytail similar to the one associated with her casual outfit, though the bands are purple instead of blue.
When disguising herself as a commoner on the streets of Agrabah, Jasmine wears a brown abaya, with a matching hijab. The outfit would later become casual for her outings in the marketplace, as seen in her later appearances. In The Return of Jafar, Jafar used this outfit and her usual palace clothes as his main disguised forms.
When Jafar takes control of Agrabah for a short while, he makes Jasmine wear red salwar pants with a matching bandeau bikini top, both made of silk, with several golden accessories, such as a snake armlet on her right arm and triangular, gold earrings. Her hair is also tied in a high ponytail, with a golden seemingly metallic band. Jafar later creates a gold tiara for Jasmine from her shackles when he decides to make her his queen.
During the finale, Jasmine wears a violet strapless tube top, with matching pants consisting of linings around the waist that come full circle and end with a blue, encrusted jewel. Her shoulders are covered by a transparent, blue veil that reaches down to her waist. The outfit is completed by purple bands to tie into her ponytail and the gold earrings she has with her casual outfit.
When she has a discussion with Aladdin about Iago's presence, Jasmine wears another formal outfit; her cropped tube top is now lavender with pink trim and long sleeves, her lavender harem pants gain a matching short greave with a pink trim adorned with a sapphire at the center and brown curled shoes. Her hair clips and headband are adorned with a sapphire at the center are lavender to match her outfit, and she wears a gold necklace on her neck and different dangling earrings on both of her ears.
In Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Jasmine incorporates both of her outfits in the previous films. She wears a pink long-sleeved tube top with white collared sleeves on each side, pink harem pants with white trim, and brown curled shoes. She wears a pink hat instead of a headband and retains her gold necklace and earrings from her first casual outfit. Her hair clips are also pink to match her outfit.
Jasmine's other outfit is identical to her first casual outfit but is pink with gold trim. She wears a dark pink and light purple Arabian jacket with a gold trim beneath it. Her headband is gold and has a ruby gem in the center, and she maintains her gold accessories.
Jasmine's initial appearance and at the end of the film (where she is finally married to Aladdin, and they set off on their honeymoon) is a simple white Arabian wedding dress with a gold trim adorned with an amethyst gem on the chest and a gold sparkle designs at her dress skirt. Her hair is loose with lavender flowers on each side adorned and a long white wedding veil.
===Abilities===
*Intuitive Aptitude: Jasmine is quite intuitive and intelligent, and has described herself as a fast learner. After one demonstration from Aladdin, she was able to pole vault across a rooftop. Jasmine has been able to manipulate foes and read people for their true intentions, such as Prince Achmed, Jafar, Mirage or even Chaos, showing an ability to uncover lies and secrets. This is prominently seen during her night with "Prince Ali" when she suspected that he is the same boy that she met in the marketplace. After spending more time together, she tricks him into confirming her suspicions, proving that she is smart enough to outsmart a street-wise street rat.
*Acting: Jasmine is a remarkably talented actress, being able to improvise her way through any situation without breaking character. She is able to use her acting skills to let others think they have the upper hand when in reality she is the one in control of the situation, such as when she pretended to be easy for "Ali" only to call him out when he let his guard down, when she seduced Jafar to the point where she kissed him without ever breaking character and when she induced overwhelming sympathy into king Mamood so he would release her.
*Animal Empathy: With her kind-hearted nature, Jasmine has shown a remarkable affinity to most animals she encounters. Most noticeably is the massive Rajah, who is undeniably loyal to her and acts more akin to a house pet with her. Other animals, such as Iago in their adventures together and even random fishes, tend to take a liking to her.
*Multilingualism: As an aspiring queen, Jasmine can speak several unspecified languages, as it was briefly mentioned in Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams.
*Hand-to-Hand Combat: As seen in the television series, as well as Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Jasmine eventually garnered skills in combat, being able to hold her own in battle against thieves and other antagonists. She is rather unmerciful in battle, as seen in "The Secret of Dagger Rock", "The Great Rift", and "The Vapor Chase" In the episode "A Sultan Worth His Salt", Jasmine is shown to be skilled in the use of weaponry for combat. Her skills are arguably best showcased in "Forget Me Lots", where she (under magical amnesia) easily battled and nearly defeated Aladdin, as well as numbers of other characters. Both that episode and "The Wind Jackals of Mozenrath" feature a whip as her personal weapon of choice, with which she displays exceptional skill in an offense, defense, and even non-combat ingenuity. As well as a variety of acrobatic feats, like jumping off a magic carpet high in the air and squeezing your way around the sides of buildings without hurting yourself.
*Physical Strength: Despite her appearance, Jasmine has impressive physical strength, as she could push a large statue in Aladdin and the King of Thieves, and a boulder in "My Fair Aladdin" and beat a thug with a punch in Aladdin and the King of Thieves.
*Horse Riding: In Disney Princess Enchanted Tales, Jasmine notes that she has been riding horses since before she could even walk.
==Appearances==
===Aladdin===
Jasmine is the daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah. By law, Jasmine must be married to a prince by her next birthday, which is in three more days. The Sultan is angered and frustrated when she rejects the various suitors that approach her - even going as far as to allow Rajah to attack them. She is unwilling to marry any of the princes her father suggests, as she proclaims that if she decides to marry, it will be for love rather than for wealth, power, and tradition. She also alludes that all her suitors so far have never shown any interest in an equal partnership or mutual respect and that the only thing they value is her beauty. Jasmine continues with the distress that she's never done anything on her own, had any friends (except Rajah) nor has even been outside the palace walls, believing she should be allowed the chance to experience life before being forced into marriage. Though the Sultan shows sympathy, he explains that he simply wants to ensure that Jasmine is provided for after he dies, though this is not enough to sway Jasmine's opinions.
Fearing she will eventually be forced into a loveless marriage, Jasmine runs away from home while disguised as a commoner, doing so in the dead of night, despite an attempt by Rajah to stop her from sneaking out, out of concern for her. The princess spends the rest of the night exploring the city, delighted to finally be able to experience her culture. Morning comes and she makes her way to the marketplace. Having never needed money before, a forgetful Jasmine inadvertently gets into trouble when she gives an apple to a hungry young boy without paying for it. Before the deranged merchant can punish her by amputating her hand, a street urchin named Aladdin quickly intervenes and saves her by claiming that Jasmine is his mentally-ill "sister". Jasmine plays along, pretending that she believes Aladdin's best friend, Abu the monkey to be the Sultan and that a camel is her doctor. Eventually, Aladdin leads Jasmine to his home, where they talk and continuously connect. Aladdin reveals his wish to escape the struggles of being a "street rat", while Jasmine wishes for freedom. They both come to realize they have a lot in common by feeling "trapped" in the life they were born into. Jasmine and Aladdin begin to develop romantic feelings for each other and lean to share a kiss, but the royal guards led by Razoul suddenly arrive. They try to escape but are surrounded, eventually leading to Aladdin's arrest. Jasmine reveals herself to the guards as the princess and demands that they release Aladdin. Razoul explains he cannot as his orders come from Jafar, who outranks her, and must be taken up with him to secure Aladdin's release.
When Jasmine angrily confronts Jafar upon returning to the palace, the latter claims that Aladdin was charged with "kidnapping the princess". Jasmine explains that she wasn't kidnapped, but willingly ran away, only for Jafar to lie, declaring that Aladdin cannot be released on account that his sentence has already been carried out: death by beheading. Shaken, a saddened and furious Jasmine leaves the room and mourns the loss of her only friend, feeling responsible for his death. Upon noticing his daughter's depressed state, the Sultan comforts Jasmine and learns the story of Aladdin and her outing. Jafar is promptly chastised over the matter, but Jasmine still holds a grudge against the Vizier, swearing to "get rid of him" once she becomes queen. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Jasmine, Aladdin is alive and has been sent to the Cave of Wonders to retrieve a lamp by orders of a disguised Jafar. Aladdin ends up trapped within the cave during the mission, with the lamp, and subsequently, releases a Genie and becomes his master.
After Aladdin's wish to become a prince is granted by the Genie, he parades through the streets of Agrabah under the guise of 'Prince Ali Ababwa'. She initially believes him to be just another arrogant suitor and shows no interest in him. After hearing 'Prince Ali' speak to the Sultan about his intentions to "win Jasmine," she becomes disgusted with Ali's suggestion that she is only a prize and refuses to meet with him, telling off Ali, her father, and Jafar before storming back to her room. That night, Ali visits Jasmine on her balcony and makes an unsuccessful attempt to woo her, prompting the frustrated Jasmine to sic Rajah to scare him away until she recognizes the prince as the boy she met in the marketplace. Ali denies this and continues his facade, disappointing the princess. As he continues to flirt with her, Jasmine pretends to be easy for him only to suddenly embarrass him and stating that he is no different from all her previous suitors and, in frustration, tells him to jump off the balcony. Ali soon agrees with Jasmine that she is not just some prize to be won and further states that she deserves to make her own choices. Ali then actually jumps off the balcony, shocking Jasmine. But it was soon revealed that Ali only jumped onto his sentient Magic Carpet, which flatters Jasmine by kissing her hand. Jasmine finally begins to warm up to Ali upon seeing that he is actually interested in getting to know her, but immediately deduces that Ali is the boy from the marketplace when he asks her if she trusts him. Confident in her theory, Jasmine accepts Ali's proposal to go for a Magic Carpet ride - during which, the two fall in love. After the carpet takes the two to watch some fireworks in China, Jasmine tricks Ali into revealing the truth. She is, at first, angered with his lies, feeling demeaned, but Ali claims that he sometimes dresses up as a commoner to "escape the pressures of palace life," which she relates to, softening her attitude and prompting her to forgive him. Jasmine is then taken back to the palace, where she and Ali share their first kiss, cementing their romantic relationship.
In her bedroom, the lovestruck Jasmine blissfully contemplates her growing affections for Ali, just when her father arrives and claims to have chosen a husband for her: Jafar. A disgusted Jasmine refuses, telling her father that she has chosen Ali. Just then, Ali arrives and accuses Jafar of attempted murder. Jafar scoffs at the accusations, and the Sultan suspiciously agrees. Prince Ali suddenly grabs Jafar's Snake Staff and destroys it. He then reveals that Jafar has been controlling the Sultan with it all along. With Jafar revealed to be a traitor, he is confronted by Jasmine, Ali, the Sultan, and the guards, though he manages to escape. The Sultan has been initially distraught at the situation, but he quickly perks up upon realizing that Jasmine has finally chosen her suitor in Ali. The Sultan gives the couple his blessings and informs them that they will be married as soon as possible, also revealing that Ali will then become the next Sultan once they are wed. Unknown to either the Sultan or Jasmine, however, Ali was disturbed by the news, feeling undeserving of such power, and Jasmine's love.
The following day, the Sultan announces Ali and Jasmine's engagement in front of the palace. Jasmine is delighted to have her engagement announced, as she is happy to have found someone who truly loves her. She watches from behind the curtains as her father gives his speech and soon takes note of Ali's arrival by preparing him to make his appearance to the crowd. Just then, Jafar arrives and takes control of the kingdom, having stolen the lamp. Though her father cowers in fear, Jasmine refuses to obey Jafar's commands as Sultan, prompting him to use his next wish to become the most powerful sorcerer in the world. He then uses his new abilities to forcefully have the two former rulers bow to him. Once Ali rushes in to protect Jasmine, Jafar sadistically reveals the supposed Prince as a fraud. Aladdin struggles to explain the truth to a confused Jasmine, having made an attempt to do so earlier, but Jafar separates the two, sending Aladdin to freeze to death at the ends of the Earth, while Jasmine and the Sultan are left to suffer his wrath in a dystopian Agrabah.
In the palace, Jasmine has been relegated to serve as Jafar's chained slave. She is forced to watch her father be tortured by Iago, but Jafar eventually adheres to her plea to spare him. While admiring Jasmine's beauty, Jafar proposes to have the princess become his queen. She hotly refuses, soaking the tyrant with a glass of wine and angering him to the point of near physical abuse. Instead, Jafar decides to use his final wish to have Jasmine fall desperately in love with him, much to her horror. The Genie tries to explain his limitations, but the impatient Jafar refuses to listen, confronting his slave.
Meanwhile, Jasmine spots Aladdin in the distance, alive and plotting to steal back the lamp. To help him do so, Jasmine manipulates Jafar into believing she's fallen madly in love with him and seductively keeps his attention away from the lurking Aladdin. Iago notices this and tries to alert Jafar, but Abu stops him. When their scuffle briefly grabs Jafar's attention, Jasmine, out of desperation, turns him back to her with a kiss, which shocks and disgusts Aladdin, Abu, and even Iago. Once Jasmine and Jafar break the kiss, the latter spots Aladdin's reflection in Jasmine's tiara and immediately attacks.
A battle follows, and as Aladdin and Jafar confront one another, Jasmine defends her lover and attacks Jafar, only to be quickly overpowered by him. She gets back on her feet and goes for the lamp, only to be imprisoned in a giant hourglass by Jafar. With sand slowly filling the glass, Jafar uses Jasmine's oncoming death to distract Aladdin, who simultaneously tries to retrieve the lamp and save the princess. Aladdin ultimately manages to defeat Jafar by tricking him into using his last wish to become a genie and imprisoning him within his own lamp, thus saving the kingdom and freeing Jasmine and the Sultan. With peace restored, Aladdin apologizes for his lies, though Jasmine ultimately forgives him as she knows why he did it, lamenting the fact that they cannot be together because of the law. The Genie, however, urges Aladdin to use his last wish to regain his princely status. Aladdin declines this, however, and instead uses the final wish to set Genie free. Believing Aladdin has proven his worth by saving the kingdom, despite not being a prince, the Sultan decides to abolish the law, declaring the princess is free to marry whomever she deems worthy. Jasmine immediately chooses Aladdin, showing that she truly loves him. After seeing the Genie off, a celebration is held in Jasmine and Aladdin's honor.
===The Return of Jafar===
In the first direct-to-video sequel, The Return of Jafar, Jasmine begins to question her choice in Aladdin, wondering if he was trustworthy enough after defending Iago, Jafar's former pet parrot who had terrorized her father. She quickly gets over these questions with Iago's help, when he reminds her of how much she loves Aladdin, and using reverse psychology and calling her bluff in the song "Forget About Love".
Jasmine apologizes to Iago soon after when he suggests Aladdin and the Sultan go for a carpet ride together (which is, in fact, a trap), and her kindness almost prompts Iago into a confession, but Jafar scares him into silence before Iago can say anything further.
She is later captured by Jafar, who magically impersonates her in an attempt to have Aladdin killed off by framing him for the Sultan's murder and having him executed by Razoul via beheading. It seems to be primarily her disappointment and anger at Iago for double crossing Aladdin, which finally prompts him to help free Genie, to her and her father's surprise and realization that he's still on their side and is fully counting on him. Jasmine accepts Iago as a friend after he rescued everyone and showed full trust by clearing him and explaining to Aladdin what he did for them, and after he helps defeat Jafar for good. At the end of the film, Jasmine goes with Aladdin to see the world.
===Aladdin: The Series===
In the series, Jasmine aids Aladdin, Abu, Carpet, Iago, and the Genie in their adventures, often proving herself to be a valuable aid in their adventures and not just a damsel in distress. She is shown to have excellent fighting skills, possibly learned by adventuring with Aladdin. She also has several episodes (including "Garden of Evil", "Forget Me Lots", "Do the Rat Thing", "The Secret of Dagger Rock", and "SandSwitch") in which her personality, skill, and intelligence are focused on.
Of all the members of the group, Jasmine has made the most daring sacrifices often giving up her freedom to save her loved ones or even complete strangers. She once commented on this in the episode "Bad Mood Rising", telling Aladdin "I was raised a princess, Aladdin, and a princess knows, the needs of the people out-weighs her own." A good example would be in "The Ethereal" when she sacrificed herself to save a boy named Tanti, convincing said envoy into calling off her attack on Agrabah and reviving Jasmine. However, when scorned or threatened, Jasmine can become quite enraged at her offender, including Aladdin.
The series also focuses on Aladdin and Jasmine's growing romantic relationship. The two are currently engaged and continue to let their relationship grow and develop as they become closer and their love grows stronger before they are ready for marriage. Aladdin and Jasmine are best friends throughout the series and often serve as each other's confidantes whenever the other is troubled or uncertain. However, they aren't without their own issues as the couple also deals with regular problems such as arguments between them. Jasmine often finds herself annoyed with Aladdin for his occasional ego or when Aladdin is mad at Jasmine for her stubbornness and at times refusal to listen, but they both accept each other's flaws and work through their problems together.
Both Aladdin and Jasmine continue to grow significantly with each other by their side, but they often find their love tested and having to face a few obstacles that threaten to keep them apart. Jasmine often finds herself facing off against romantic rivals, from the former street rat turned sand witch Sadira, to the wicked sea sorceress Saleen, who both try to steal Aladdin away from her and attempt to break off their relationship. The attempts are foiled, however, as Aladdin and Jasmine have proven time and again that they only love each other and no one else. Aladdin and Jasmine's love is shown and proven to be incredibly strong on various occasions where they both are willing to do whatever it takes to protect each other whenever they see the other in times of danger. Examples include when Jasmine was turned into a Naga by Mirage in an attempt to destroy their love and tried to convince Jasmine, Aladdin only loved her for her beauty. Mirage's plot almost succeeded since due to their now different species, Jasmine could no longer be with Aladdin. However, Aladdin willingly gives up his humanity and becomes one himself just so he could be with Jasmine forever, proving Aladdin truly loves Jasmine for who she is and not just simply for her beauty.
Jasmine appears in almost every episode of the TV series, with the exceptions of "Much Abu About Something", "Never Say Nefir", "Air Feather Friends", "Some Enchanted Genie", "Rain of Terror", "Opposites Detract", "Caught by the Tale" (albeit mentioned only), "Beast or Famine", "The Animal Kingdom", "The Sands of Fate", "The Citadel", "Snowman is an Island", "In the Heat of the Fright" (in actual person, albeit Mirage is disguised as her), "The Seven Faces of Genie", "A Clockwork Hero", "Sea No Evil", "Smells Like Trouble", "The Love Bug", "Genie Hunt", "The Lost Ones", "Shark Treatment", "The Lost City of the Sun", and "The Book of Khartoum" (albeit mentioned only).
===Aladdin and the King of Thieves===
Finally, in the third direct-to-video movie Aladdin and the King of Thieves, she and Aladdin are finally about to be wed, when their wedding is interrupted by the Forty Thieves. During the fight, Jasmine personally knocks one of the thieves out cold with a single punch, before angrily telling him, "That was for ruining my wedding!" After learning what they were after, Aladdin finds out from the Oracle that his father, Cassim, is still alive. Jasmine convinces him to seek out his father, and that their wedding can be delayed a little longer.
While he is away, Jasmine grows worried and Genie cheers her up by dressing her in bridal outfits (And comically posing as many iconic celebrities and movie characters, one of which Robin Williams himself played the role of). When Aladdin returns with Cassim, she and the Sultan take an immediate liking to him. However, he later tries to steal the Oracle, and is put in prison; Aladdin helps him escape but comes back to face his punishment. Jasmine and the Genie convince the Sultan that he helped his father out of love. At that moment, Iago (who was with Cassim) returns, telling them that Cassim has been captured by Sa'luk and the remaining Thieves.
Jasmine goes with Aladdin to rescue his father, and afterward, they return for their wedding, which Cassim attends from the shadows. They ride on Carpet, waving goodbye to the Merchant from the first film and Iago and Cassim as they ride off. The two then kiss passionately.
===Hercules: The Series===
Jasmine appears in the Hercules crossover episode, "Hercules and the Arabian Night", alongside Aladdin, Carpet, Genie, and Abu; in which Hades and Jafar team up with each other to destroy their respective enemies (Hercules and Aladdin). This episode is stated to take place after Aladdin and the King of Thieves; when Phil comes on to the beautiful princess, she abruptly brushes him off, telling him: "I'm married."
===Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams===
Jasmine appears alongside Iago, Abu, and Carpet in the Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams, the "More than a Peacock Princess" segment. In the segment, Jasmine is tired of her life as a princess and wishes for more responsibility. After speaking with her father, Jasmine is given a job as an assistant teacher (which they call "Royal Assistant Educator") at the Royal Academy alongside her cousin Sharma. After Sharma runs out of the school in distress, Jasmine decides to teach the class on her own.
Though Jasmine is thrilled at first, she becomes frustrated with her disruptive pupils. They do chaotic things such as throw books, chase Jasmine around with a snake, and draw on walls. She tries to use Rajah to scare the kids, but it backfires; the kids just chase the two of them up a tree. Jasmine decides to give up, but later that night, she is advised by her lady-in-waiting, Aneesa, to persevere and be patient; as then she will be able to do anything she wants and sets her mind to. The next day, the Sultan's prized but aggressive horse named Sahara is missing from the stables. Jasmine decides to go on a search for the horse in order to prevent her friend, Hakeem, from getting fired. Using her intelligence she and Iago are able to find out Abu was the one that let Sahara go. She recruits Aneesa to stall the Sultan from going to see his horse.
After tracking down Sahara at an oasis in the desert, she attempts to tame the horse from the first time and sings the song "I've Got My Eyes on You" in order to soothe him. After many hours, she finally tames him, making her the only person to ever do so besides her mother. Jasmine is able to return the horse to the palace. She later goes back to the school, and the students are far more respectful because they are impressed that Jasmine tamed Sahara. She then successfully teaches the class.
===House of Mouse===
Jasmine makes numerous cameo appearances in the series House of Mouse often seen in crowd shots and sitting with one or more of her co-stars.
In "Ladies' Night", Jasmine comments to Ariel on Clarabelle's dance of seven veils by saying "She looks like a cow." This is her only speaking appearance.
She was also seen at the beginning of "Goofy's Valentine Date" kissing Aladdin.
In "Pete's House of Villains", Jafar was put in charge of greeting guests after Pete took control of the club and used his position to ban each character from Aladdin, aside from Jasmine, for lustful reasons.
In Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, she and Aladdin were singing alongside the other guests while being trapped inside the club.
===Sofia the First===
Jasmine is the second Disney Princess to meet Sofia, after Cinderella. She makes a guest appearance in the episode "Two to Tangu". She appears in her new design. Jasmine helps Sofia and Amber tame a wild flying carpet by teaching them not to be afraid and sings a song called "The Ride of Our Lives" with them.
Interestingly, while Jasmine sports her redesigned look, her original ponytail hairstyle that was sectioned into two (instead of the new regular-looking ponytail) is retained.
In "Forever Royal" when Sofia is battling Vor inside her amulet, Jasmine appears to Sofia in spirit form along with all the other princesses who have been summoned to help Sofia in her times of need in prior episodes, and they encourage her to be brave and strong for they all believe in her.
===Ralph Breaks the Internet===
In Ralph Breaks the Internet, a netizen version of Jasmine appears as a resident of Oh My Disney, where she works as a cast member alongside other members of the Disney Princess line-up. Jasmine is first seen on the site's floor, greeting net users as Vanellope von Schweetz looks on. Shortly afterward, Vanellope, on the run from First Order Stormtroopers, infiltrates the princesses' backstage room via glitching, where Jasmine is seen sitting atop the Magic Carpet while admiring Aladdin's flower to her. Upon noticing Vanellope, Jasmine, along with the princesses, leaps into action and prepares to attack under the presumption that she is a threat; Jasmine arming herself with Genie's lamp and holding it like a gun. Vanellope gets them to stand down and explains that she's also a princess, prompting Pocahontas to inquire what kind of princess Vanellope is. When Cinderella asks if animals talk to Vanellope, Jasmine can be seen snuggling Rajah. Jasmine later asks if Vanellope has "daddy issues", referencing her complicated relationship with her father, the Sultan. When Vanellope retorts that she doesn't even have a mom, Jasmine relates, along with Belle, Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White, Pocahontas, Elsa, and Anna.
Eventually, it is agreed that Vanellope truly is a Princess (when she relates everyone believes her problems were solved when "a big, strong man" entered the picture). Shortly after, the princesses come to admire Vanellope's casual modern clothes, prompting Cinderella to have her mice sew similar attire for the rest of the princesses. Jasmine wears a turquoise headband with gold borderlines, a black tank top under a turquoise tank top with a graphic of Genie's hand holding up three fingers and the word "Wishes" in the same font and color as Genie's applause sign (a reference to genies' rule of granting three wishes), blue yoga pants, white socks, and turquoise sneakers. While lounging, Jasmine can be seen snuggling with Rajah. Ariel tries to express her fondness for her casual wear through song, but Vanellope cuts her off in confusion. A perplexed Jasmine explains that Ariel was singing which, according to Tiana, is what occurs whenever a princess expresses her dreams and desires.
During the climax, the princesses evacuate Oh My Disney during the virus crisis, and are present when Wreck-It Ralph is plummeting to his doom. After Moana and Ariel use the ocean to create a towering spiral of water, Jasmine flies Elsa to the top with Carpet, from where Elsa is able to freeze the water and create a slide to catch Ralph. Ariel later joins them atop Carpet and signals Pocahontas to summon the "colors of the wind", which is used to further guide Ralph, in Snow White's dress and attached to a parachute made from four of the other princesses' dresses to safety. After Ralph is secured, Jasmine introduces them as friends of Vanellope, and Elsa stated that any friend of Vanellope is a friend of theirs, befriending Ralph as a result.
===Other appearances===
As part of the promotional campaign for the film Lilo & Stitch, Jasmine and Aladdin appeared in a parody trailer, during the famous "A Whole New World" scene, where they're encountered by Stitch (riding his space cruiser), in the middle of the song. The little alien flirts with Jasmine, resulting in the two riding off on the cruiser, leaving a baffled Aladdin to scorn "Hey! Get your own movie..."
In The Lion King 1½, silhouettes of Jasmine and Aladdin are seen flying into the theater on Carpet to watch the film with a cast of other Disney characters during the ending.
An emoticon version of Jasmine appeared in the Aladdin entry of the As Told by Emoji short series.
In Once Upon a Studio, Jasmine is seen joining all other Disney characters in taking a group photo to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Disney. When Goofy accidentally breaks the camera, Jasmine and many of her cohorts sadly prepare to go back inside the animation building until they hear Alan-A-Dale playing "When You Wish Upon a Star". This lifts Jasmine and everyone else's spirits where they sing the song together and successfully take the group photo.
===Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade===
Jasmine, joined by Aladdin and several of her fellow Disney Princesses in Cinderella, Tiana, Moana, and Rapunzel, along with Anna and Elsa, rode on the Disney Wish float captained by Minnie with her crew of Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Chip 'n' Dale in the 2021 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, with special guest Jordan Fisher on board to sing "Together We Set Sail" when the float reached Herald Square on 34th Street while backed up by additional Cast Members serving as their backup dancers with several more serving as their supervisors/adjutants assigned to keep the Theme Park Characters safe on their special assignment outside the Disney Parks and Resorts and Disney Cruise Line fleet. The supporting Cast Members danced and performed in front of the float during the song. During the procession from the starting line on Central Park West, the song played on the float's loudspeakers as Jasmine and her fellow Disney characters waved to the crowd, adding that little bit of Disney magic to the parade to put smiles on all the parade guests as the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its mutations were still a threat at the time.
Jasmine returned to ride on the float again for the 2022 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Aladdin joined her like last year, along with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Pluto, Rapunzel, Flynn, Tiana, Moana, and Cinderella, but joining them this year were Mulan, Raya, Mirabel Madrigal, Cinderella and Tiana's husbands, Prince Charming and Prince Naveen, and Marvel superheroes Spider-Man and Black Panther. Near the end of the parade route, Jasmine dismounted from the float with Aladdin, the other Princesses with their husbands, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Moana, in preparation for their performance in Herald's Square based on one of their shows from the Disney Wish during its trips, dubbed "Seas The Adventure", which included snippets from Jasmine's trademark song "A Whole New World" and "When You Wish Upon a Star". Once the performance was completed and a final flourish of confetti and streamers was released, leaving smiles on the faces of all the Guests attending the parade, Jasmine and the other characters continued to the end of the parade route, where once the float was disassembled and prepped for being taken back to the warehouse in New Jersey for storage, Jasmine and the other characters, along with all of their supporting Cast Members, prepared to head home to Disneyland in Anaheim and Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista to resume their duties there for Disney's holiday festivities and parades until Macy's invites them back for another parade to add that spark of Disney Magic to Macy's long-time Thanksgiving tradition, which may be possible should Macy's bring the float back for a third consecutive year and Disney's executives agree to have the characters return to Manhattan to participate in the parade again in 2023.
Disney CEO Bob Iger and Macy's agreed to have the "Magic Meets The Sea" float return for the 2023 parade, and Jasmine, with Aladdin joining her again, was among the returning characters riding on the float this year." The float was also repainted to represent the newest ship to join the Disney Cruise Line fleet in 2024, the sister ship to the Disney Wish, the Disney Treasure. The music that played over the float's loudspeakers in the previous year's parade, "Let's Set Sail", was played again and even performed by Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, and their backup performers as Mirabel, Peter Pan, Rapunzel, Anna, Elsa, Aladdin, Jasmine, Tiana, Spider-Man, and Black Panther sung along from on the float. Of course, the float reached Herald Square just as the NBC broadcast went to a commercial break, giving the characters and their support crew time to set up and wave to the gathered crowd before being properly introduced by Al Roker and his co-hosts when they came back from commercials to put on the performance. The float proceeded down the parade route ahead of Ronald McDonald, the NYPD Marching Band, and the balloon of Chase from PAW Patrol.
Disney and Macy's are already in talks about the float returning for the 2024 parade as Macy's began planning for next year's parade as soon as this year's parade was over. Due to Jasmine having been on the float for the past three years it appeared since debuting in 2021, it is highly probable that CEO Bob Iger will select her to be on the float again with Aladdin next year when choosing which characters will be representing Disney Cruise Line and The Walt Disney Company on the float in their first year following Disney 100 Years of Wonder.

Unable to carry five people at the same time, they are forced to walk back to Agrabah. Upon arriving in the city, the guards of Agrabah are informed to arrest Aladdin and the trio for kidnapping the princess. The girls make their escape while the boys hold off the guards. While helping Sylphy, Jasmine accidentally falls off the roof and gets captured by the trio's enemy, Valdou. After a long struggle for Aladdin's magic lamp, Kilala uses it to wish for knowledge of Jasmine's location. They find the princess unharmed. They take her back to the palace, and Jasmine tells her father, the Sultan, about her new friends. The Sultan gives Kilala a giant diamond as a token of friendship, but she later gives it back. Jasmine then trades it with a flower that she received from Aladdin as her token of friendship. It later turns into an amethyst. Jasmine is last seen witnessing Kilala receive her magic gem: an emerald.

===Kingdom Hearts series===
Jasmine appears in the Kingdom Hearts video games and is also one of the Princesses of Heart. This means she has a pure heart of light, and when her heart is gathered and placed alongside the other seven Princesses of Heart, the gateway to the legendary Kingdom Hearts is opened. The evil sorceress Maleficent and a team of Disney Villains team up to do just that. Among them is Jafar, and through the power of darkness given to him by Maleficent, he's able to dominate Agrabah and begins a hunt for Jasmine. She manages to elude him by hiding in Agrabah's streets until found by Sora, Donald, and Goofy, who cover her escape while they confront Jafar, who simply summons several Heartless to deal with them while he goes after Jasmine. By the time Sora returns to Agrabah with Aladdin, Jafar has found her and is confronted by them outside the palace gates. Aladdin attempts to save her by using Genie and his second wish to carry her to safety, but Iago steals the lamp and gives it to Jafar, making him Genie's new master, and causing Jasmine to fall back down into a disguised Pot Spider Heartless. Jafar then sics the Pot Centipede on Aladdin and Sora to cover his escape, where Jasmine can be heard calling for help from one of the various Pot Spiders attacking them or making up the Pot Centipede's body, but once the Pot Centipede is slain, Jasmine is nowhere to be found, having been taken by Jafar as he seeks out Agrabah's Keyhole, located deep within the Cave of Wonders. Jafar faces Aladdin and Sora first with his magic and Genie, then after wishing for his genie powers, in his genie form, but is defeated and imprisoned in his lamp. While Aladdin and Sora have their final showdown with Jafar, Jasmine, waiting for their return as she watched from above, is captured and taken to Hollow Bastion by Maleficent's underling Riku. Aladdin is prevented from coming with Sora to find her due to needing to protect the world order and not meddle in the affairs of other worlds.
Sora and friends travel to Hollow Bastion, and after the villains are defeated and the keyhole is closed, Jasmine is freed and remains in the dark castle alongside the other princesses to protect the realm with their combined power.
At the end, when Sora finally defeats the primary threat, Jasmine and the other princesses return home and are last seen kissing Aladdin in his house.
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Jasmine is kidnapped by Jafar, who wishes to marry the princess to seize control of the throne, but is thwarted upon Sora's arrival.
Jasmine returns in Kingdom Hearts II where she tells Sora, Donald, and Goofy of her worry. Aladdin has been retreating into the city streets and seems to be tumbling into a depression since Genie and Carpet left Agrabah for some time, though he claims nothing's wrong. Not only that, Iago and Jafar return, though the parrot merely wishes to reform, whilst Jafar seeks revenge. In the end, due to Iago's efforts, Jafar is defeated and peace is restored. Jasmine and the others then happily welcome him into the palace.
Jasmine also plays minor roles in Kingdom Hearts coded as well as Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Before that, she doesn't appear until first fulfilling Aladdin's request to spawn Genie after getting the magic wand from Cinderella and doing favors for both Genie and Aladdin to help out Jasmine as well after receiving the blaster from Buzz Lightyear. Upon first meeting her, Jasmine asks the player if they can locate and return her lost bracelets (which can be found in the Jungle Cruise mini-game, also the location for the first task from Baloo). After the bracelets are recovered, Jasmine asks if the player can help her practice her dancing for the upcoming royal feast and even provides royal garments for the player to wear.

Jasmine has friendship campaigns with Aladdin and Shank. She also has friendship campaigns with Rapunzel and Kida Nedakh. 
===Disney Infinity===
Jasmine is a playable character in the series, making her debut appearance in the Toy Box mode of Disney Infinity: 2.0 Edition. Her figure was released on February 3, 2015, both individually, and as part of the "Aladdin Toy Pack", which was a bundle set that contained both the Jasmine figure and the previously released Aladdin figure.
Jasmine's melee attack consists of punches and kicks that do a fairly minimal amount of damage, while her long-range attack, "Shooting the Breeze", is more powerful, shooting out a magic carpet that creates sandstorms in its path. Using "Royal Decree", Jasmine can break an enemy's block. The "Street Mouse" skill adds an additional attack to Jasmine's ground combo attack.
Jasmine's special ability is "Windstorm", which is activated after collecting a certain amount of purple power-orbs. Once she does so, Jasmine can summon a sandstorm with the help of Carpet, which lifts enemies and causes damage to them in the process.
===Disney Magic Kingdoms===

==Musical==
Jasmine appears in the musical adaptation of the film, playing a role identical to that of the original film. Stage actress Courtney Reed originated the role of Jasmine in the pre-Broadway show in Toronto and carried over the role once the show was taken to the Broadway stage.
Though her role is similar to that of the film, there are a few significant differences to Jasmine's character. For instance, along with "A Whole New World", Jasmine performs several additional musical numbers, including "These Palace Walls", "A Million Miles Away" (another duet with Aladdin), and "Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim".
Additionally, during the climax, Jafar's first wish was notably different and related to Jasmine. As opposed to wishing he was the ruler of Agrabah, Jafar's first wish was to make Jasmine his prisoner. However, in the movie, his final wish was initially to make Jasmine fall in love with him instead, using his newfound sorcery to transform Jasmine's blue bedlah outfit into a red slave-girl outfit first.
Aside from these factors, generally, Jasmine's role in the stage musical remains pretty much the same.
==Disney Parks==
Since 1992, Jasmine has appeared at the Disney theme parks around the world as a meet-and-greet character alongside Aladdin and occasionally Genie, Jafar, and Abu.

Jasmine's late 2012 redesign had multiple changes. Her hair is much more curled with a very noticeable stray strand sticking out and is now in a ponytail instead of being sectioned into two like before.
Her earrings are now golden bangles instead of the previous solid, triangular ones that covered her ears. Other jewelry includes two sapphire brooches - one on her chest and the other over her navel.
Jasmine's bedlah outfit is now teal instead of light blue and has received noticeable pale aquamarine organza shoulders for the bandeau-style off-shoulder top she wears, while the billowed pants now have a matching overskirt, with designs of fleur-de-lys covering much of them, making the entire outfit resemble a dress.
In the early redesigns, her top is one-shouldered instead of her redesigned top with organza shoulders.
Her 2021 'Ultimate Princess Celebration' redesign reverted back largely to her pre-2012 appearance.

Jasmine's Palace Pets are Sultan, Lapis, Taj, Nyle, Stripes, Nola, and Sandstorm.
==Differences from the source material==
Jasmine is loosely based on the princess featured in the story of "Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp" from One Thousand and One Nights.
*In the original story, the princess's name is Badroulbadour ("full moon of full moons"). Disney renamed the character after actress Jasmine Guy.
*Badroulbadour is from an autonomous Muslim society in western China, whereas Jasmine is an Arabian princess.
*Aladdin falls in love with Badroulbadour while spying on her bathing.
*The vizier is not interested in marrying Badroulbadour; rather, she is engaged to his son.
*Aladdin uses the Genie's magic to sabotage Badroulbadour's first marriage.
*Badroulbadour marries Aladdin in the middle of the story, not at the end.
==Relationships==
==Gallery==
==Trivia==
*"Jasmine" is a Persian name for a beautiful flower that Persians call "yas" or "yasamin".
*Contrary to popular belief, Jasmine's age has never been confirmed or even referenced in any of the Aladdin movies, television series, or other spinoff projects. In the original film, the Sultan declares that Jasmine must be married "by her next birthday", but never specifies how old she will become on said birthday.
**An early story concept for the original film had the Sultan saying, "Jasmine, the law says you must be married by your sixteenth birthday.", which would have made her fifteen years old. This concept was scrapped when Jeffrey Katzenberg became worried about sending the wrong message regarding the idea that fifteen year old girls can get married. Thus, the line was changed to "married to a prince by your next birthday.", leaving Jasmine's canonical age unknown.Culhane, John (August 15, 1993). Disney's Aladdin The Making Of An Animated Film. Disney Editions. ISBN 978-1-56282-757-1.
**Actress Linda Larkin was 20 years old when she landed the role of Jasmine in 1990.
*In Disney Princess Enchanted Tales, Jasmine notes that she can name every one of the 40 thieves.
*The concept of Jasmine escaping the palace was partially inspired by Princess Ann's identical actions in the 1953 film .
*Jasmine's wedding dress in Aladdin and the King of Thieves was modeled after her mother's wedding dress.Disney. Jasmine's Royal Wedding. Storybook, 2015. Print.
*One of the Disney Princess magazines has a story about two of Jasmine's cousins named Farah and Nadine. Whether they are considered canon is unknown.http://d-princesses.livejournal.com/938819.html
*Jasmine is the first Disney Princess to be the deuteragonist, rather than the protagonist/titular character.
*Producer Amy Pell was particularly fond of Jasmine's role as an independent woman when compared to pre-Renaissance Princesses.
*Jasmine has been a ground-breaking character for being the first non-white Disney Princess.
*Jasmine is the first Disney Princess to wear pants.
*Jasmine's outfit has been a subject of controversy; some claim that it undermines her feminist characterization and reinforces orientalism, while others say that her outfit empowers her with sexual liberation and that the character being in control of her sexuality does not objectify her, but rather reinforces her womanhood, something that's rare among fairy tale princesses.
*Jasmine is the only named female character in the 1992 film Aladdin, this is because she is the only significant female character in the 1992 film.
*Jasmine has a recurring theme in the movie, which can be found as "Jasmine Runs Away" on the Aladdin soundtrack. The melody for Jasmine's theme would later be used as the template for a full song titled "To Be Free", which appears as a solo for Jasmine in Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular.
**Jasmine's theme was inspired by "Scheherazade Suite" by Rimsky-Korosakov.Aladdin, Platinum Edition DVD: Pop-Up Fun Facts
*When casting Jasmine, the filmmakers strived to find an actress whose voice differentiated from that of previous Disney heroines.Aladdin, Platinum Edition DVD: Audio commentary
**According to the filmmaker's notes on the Special Edition DVD, Linda Larkin was asked repeatedly to lower her voice to play Jasmine.
**Following her initial audition, it took nine months for Larkin to officially receive the role of Princess Jasmine.
*Larkin once boasted having to say the best line in the movie: "It's all so magical!" It is explained that this line is what helped her understand the character of Jasmine.
*Jasmine was the first Disney Princess to be voiced by two actresses, Linda Larkin providing her speaking voice, and Lea Salonga providing her singing voice.
*In an extended version of the Disney Princess scene in Ralph Breaks the Internet shown at the 2017 D23 Expo, it was revealed that the internet counterpart of Jasmine was allergic to cats and required an inhaler. While this part of the scene did not appear in the actual film, a 13-doll pack that featured Vanellope and the Princesses in their comfy clothes did give Jasmine's doll an inhaler accessory.
*Although the exact date is not clear, Jasmine's birthday is in late January or early February. This is because when Aladdin and Jasmine fly on the magic carpet, Chinese New Year is being celebrated over in China. This holiday can fall anywhere from January 21 to February 20.
*Jasmine was the first and so far, the only Disney Princess to have her original film and live-action remake both peak at number-one at the box office.
*Jasmine is the first princess to not have her own song in the original film, but instead in the live-action adaptation.
*Excluding Merida, who is owned by Pixar, Aurora and Jasmine are the only two Disney Princesses to not appear in the end credits for Wish.
