Jasmine/Relationships

The relationships of Jasmine.
==Romance==
===Aladdin===
Despite the awkward circumstances of their first interaction, Jasmine and Aladdin almost immediately form a connection. When taken to Aladdin's home, Jasmine is introduced to a humble, vulnerable person with dreams of living a better life - one devoid of forcibly scraping for food and escaping brutal guards on a regular basis. She openly relates to a desire for freedom, confessing her problems to Aladdin, and is treated with a response of genuine concern and care for her feelings, in spite of the fact that her personal feelings have been constantly put to the side in favor of tradition and unjust laws, up to that point. With their conversation having revealed common traits between the two, Jasmine and Aladdin form a friendship, which is interrupted by Aladdin's arrest, by orders of Jafar as a result of the guards showing up.
Their bond becomes so strong that, upon learning Aladdin has been executed for the crime of "kidnapping the princess", Jasmine falls into a state of depression and blames herself for Aladdin's death. When Aladdin returns under the guise of the flamboyant, arrogant Prince Ali, Jasmine is unable to recognize him, and immediately rebuffs his attempts at receiving her attention. However, once Aladdin drops the act, and carries himself in his genuine, humble and caring nature, Jasmine's defenses slowly begin to fall, and the two are able to share a magic carpet ride together, experiencing the world they've been unfortunate enough to have nearly missed. It's at that moment that the two fall in love and Jasmine declares Aladdin her chosen suitor. Jasmine never outright declares her love for Aladdin until after the truth behind his identity is revealed, and his motivations are explained to have been due to the fact that a princess and a street-rat can never be together, by orders of both the law and society. With his love for her having been proven by the time of the film's finale, Jasmine forgives Aladdin for his lies and accepts him as a lover, though Aladdin uses his third wish to free the Genie just in time, as opposed to turning himself into a prince once again. However, Jasmine selflessly cares more for Aladdin's will to be himself, and care for his friends than her own desire, accepting the circumstances of his final wish, and the fact that they can never be together. This connection, respect, and mutual love for one another prompt the Sultan to abolish the law separating Jasmine and Aladdin, thus allowing their romance to blossom from that moment forward, with no further lies, and only genuine acceptance.
==Family==
===The Sultan===
Because of his struggles to keep tradition intact and uphold the laws set before his time, the Sultan and Jasmine can often be seen at odds during the course of the original film. Nevertheless, it is clear that the Sultan deeply cares for his daughter, as he briefly mentions his motivation to uphold the marriage law is partially due to the fact that he wants to ensure Jasmine is taken care of and provided for after he passes on. In turn, Jasmine is shown to care a great deal for her father and is highly protective of him. In spite of his stubbornness and sheltering habits annoying her on occasion, she opens to her father in times of need, such as when she thought Aladdin died on her account, and when she feels joyous, such as when she realizes she's fallen in love with Aladdin (while disguised as Prince Ali). When Jafar had her father under a spell, Jasmine showed concern for him until Aladdin freed her father from his control. After Jafar had taken over Agrabah, Jasmine begged Jafar and Iago to leave her father alone as he was being tortured by the latter. After Jafar's defeat, the Sultan decided to abolish the royal law so his daughter can be with Aladdin, much to Jasmine's joy.
In the television series episode From Hippsodeth, with Love, her protectiveness over her father was showcased, as she went to great length to keep him safe when he's targeted by villainous forces.
==Friends==
===Rajah===
Rajah was Jasmine's beloved pet tiger and best friend. Rajah was loyal to and cared for Jasmine's well-being. Whenever Jasmine had visits from potential suitors, Rajah would threaten or attack them as he knew Jasmine did not want to marry by law. When Jasmine decided to run away, she shared a sad good-bye to Rajah who despite helping her leave was sad to see her go. When Jasmine returned to the palace, she was comforted by Rajah when she believed that Aladdin, the boy she befriended in the marketplace was executed.
When Aladdin came to the palace under guise of "Prince Ali Ababwa," Rajah, knowing Jasmine was not impressed with this "selfish prince," came to Jasmine's aid by growling at Aladdin. However, after Aladdin started to show his true compassionate nature and Jasmine falling in love with him, Rajah accepted Aladdin as well as he liked those who treated Jasmine with respect.
===Abu===
Jasmine first met Abu when Aladdin stopped an angry merchant from harming her when she gave a young boy an apple without paying for it. To play along the part of being Aladdin's "mentally-ill sister," Jasmine bowed to Abu, calling him the Sultan which Abu seemed to respect by acting like the Sultan himself. Nonetheless, as Jasmine and Aladdin started to slowly fall for each other, Abu became jealous of their growing affections and even tried to take an apple from her, only to be stopped by Aladdin.
However, as Abu cared for Aladdin's happiness, he helped his friend win over Jasmine and in return, Abu started to gain affections for the princess where the two developed a friendship as they both care for Aladdin.
===Genie===
Jasmine did not meet the Genie until after Jafar had taken over Agrabah by stealing the Genie's Lamp from Aladdin. Jasmine already knew that the Genie was a good guy, but was miserable to help Jafar take over Agrabah, grant him more power, and use his magic under the command of an evil man. When Jafar ordered the Genie to make Jasmine love him, Genie, not having the power to make others fall in love, became confused when Jasmine started to flirt with Jafar until he noticed Aladdin had returned and realized that Jasmine was distracting Jafar so Aladdin can get the lamp back.
After Jafar's defeat, Genie decided to allow Aladdin to use his last wish to become a prince again so he can be with Jasmine, telling Aladdin that he is not going to "find a girl like her (Jasmine) in a million years." However, after Aladdin used his last wish to free the Genie and the Sultan abolished the royal law so Jasmine can marry Aladdin, Jasmine was given a hug by Genie and waved good-bye to him as he left to travel around the world.
===Magic Carpet===
Jasmine first meets the Magic Carpet when Aladdin in his "Prince Ali" disguise comes to visit her. When Jasmine first sees the Magic Carpet, she says he's lovely and he responds by kissing her hand. He gives Jasmine and Aladdin a ride and helps them fall in love with each other. He also tries to get Aladdin to tell Jasmine who he truly is, showing that he believes Jasmine deserves to know the truth of Aladdin's true identity. After the ride, the Magic Carpet them back to Agrabah where he helps Aladdin share a kiss with Jasmine. After Jafar's defeat, Jasmine rides on the Magic Carpet with Aladdin as she starts her new life with him.
===Iago===
Jasmine and Iago never really interacted with each other in the first movie as he pretends to be a regular parrot, so he hardly pays him any mind, while she deals with Jafar. He on the other hand resents living under her and her fathers rule and secretly conspires with Jafar to kill both of them. After he reveals his true colors, she holds him in contempt and appears distressed as Iago takes his revenge on her helpless father, begging Jafar to make him stop.
When she found out that Aladdin had purposely hidden Iago's presence from her and stood up for him, she was very angry at his act. Their relationship improved, however, when Iago used reverse psychology to get Jasmine and Aladdin to reconcile, after he revealed that he saved her fiances life, which was new to her. Jasmine still retained some doubts, but her kindness almost led the remorseful Iago to warn them about the impending danger, before Jafar forced him to remain quiet. When Iagos role in Jafars plot became clear she was furious and it appeared mainly her disappointment caused him to save Aladdin from execution. Once his intention comes clear she encourage him and is the first to forgive him, even defending him against the angry Aladdin. They become friends afterwards, when he risks his life to destroy Jafar.
Since then, Iago has been indeed Jasmine's friend, although she doesn't appreciate his greed. More than once, Jasmine and Iago have had solo adventures and made a pretty amazing duo like when they were transformed into rat and lizard in "Do the Rat Thing" and spent the majority of the episode in their own right help each other to become themselves again. The best example of their friendship is in Enchanted Tales, where Iago acts as Jasmine's main friend, supporting her in her view of being more than a princess. Sometimes when Jasmine is out shopping in the Market Place, Iago is often seen sitting on her shoulder accompanying her.

==Enemies==
===Jafar===
Despite Jafar being the Royal Vizier, Jasmine hated Jafar who was captivated by her beauty. When Jafar lied to her that he had Aladdin executed for supposedly "kidnapping" her, Jasmine told her father who reprimanded Jafar for his actions. Despite her father trying to settle things between the two, Jasmine angrily told Jafar that once she was queen, she would get rid of him as she still embittered towards him.
When Jafar hypnotized her father so he could marry Jasmine and become sultan, Jasmine was horrified and disgusted that she immediately refused to marry him. When Aladdin revealed that Jafar was controlling the Sultan through his magic snake staff, Jasmine's hatred grew stronger for what he was doing to her father. Later, after Jafar successfully took over Agrabah, he made Jasmine his slave and wanted her to become his queen, much to her utter horror, anger and disgust. However, when Jasmine saw that Aladdin returned to save Agrabah, Jasmine pretended to flirt with Jafar as a way to distract him so Aladdin can get the Genie's Lamp. Jasmine's distraction works until Jafar discovers the ruse when he sees Aladdin's reflection through Jasmine's crown and roughly shoves Jasmine away when she tries to stop him from harming Aladdin. Jafar's obsession with the princess completely dies when he traps Jasmine in a giant hourglass, leaving her to drown in the falling sand until Aladdin managed to successfully save her.
===Mozenrath===
When Aladdin is abducted by Mozenrath as bait for the Genie, Jasmine tries to rescue him, and when she did, she traps him in the crystal prison, saving the genie.
