Jasmine Sunstryder

**Jasmine Sunstryder** was a young, independent woman with fiery red hair. She was the daughter of a prominent leader within the Rebel Faction, named Enrys Sunstryder, from whom she ran away. Although wanting nothing to do with the rebels, her primary reasoning for running away was to be with Eben Shadestalker — the man she had fallen in love with. Tagging along with Eben, she would join the group in their various adventures. At the time, she had been finishing her work toward a medical degree from a university in Osiris on Melceria. She was with the group when they were forced to flee during the attack on Fobera and subsequent adventures. And with them she remained after Eben left on a secret mission.

## Backstory

Jasmine underwent a strenuous childhood because of the pressures her father put on her to succeed. She was bred to be perfect, intelligent and physically fit; from her carefully orchestrated conception and early development, through her entire education. In due time she developed a psychological hatred toward her father and his obsession with controlling her life. This trauma would lead to issues in many of her other relationships.

Jasmine left her home for the first time in her life at the age of 16 and joined a medical college in the Melcerian city of Osiris. This first experience away from home quickly overwhelmed her and she fell in with a local swoop gang where she got a whole different kind of education and she quickly rose to prominence in the local swoop circuit; making a least one close friend, Rochelle "Rave" Rourke. Jasmine even started dueling, but this secret life came crashing down when her father found out and dragged her back to the Sunstryder Mansion.

## Renegades

It took another three years for her to escape again. Jasmine first met the group during a visit to the planet Biblia. Jasmine joined the group on their various adventures, from Tatooine and Fobera, to Raxus Prime, Tovat and Melceria. During this time she went through a process of coming to terms with herself and her past, with help from those among the group: namely, Gavril Constantin and Jin Odaya, who became like family.

## Rebel Agent

Later, when the group became active rebel agents once again, Jasmine had to swallow the hatred she had for her father and accept the Council's conditions. Because of her notoriety Jasmine dyed her hair blond to help hide her identity. With a new base-of-operations on the Ithorian herdship Majestic Vale, group members were officially hired as agents of the rebel faction. This continued, though more actively, while on the planet Khendo. Jasmine played a part in their various missions to follow, including: Rescuing marooned rebels from a mynock-infested asteroid field (4.15.14), several supply runs for rebel allies (4.23 - 5.25.14), and assisting medical personnel aboard a medical frigate, the *MedStar.*

Jasmine operated as a bounty hunter and member of the Khendo Hunters Guild while living on Khendo. She and other group members apprehended such bounty targets as Kor Hark and Sjen Dov-Kae.

### Arcane

Jasmine, along with other group members, agreed to assist Hal Calder in his quest to stop the Galactic Empire from discovering an ancient Sith secret. They traveled to such locations as Reaper's World, Adumar, and Panacea's Chalice. Ultimately, they discovered the Sith Lord Panacea and his army waiting to be awoken from carbon-freeze sleep. Only after a grueling battle of willpower were they able to defeat Panacea and entomb him permanently within his underground chamber.

## Created with Purpose

By 10BBY, Jasmine was no longer living at the Khendo Compound and was quickly climbing the ranks of the Rebel Faction. She also acquired an attaché named Gongi (a young Thustran). Nearly a year later, after the death of her father, Jasmine became heir to Sunstryder Mansion, a droid called A3 and a remote facility called Sanctuary. She learned of a message from her father, that revealed the grander purpose of her creation. She was meant to lead others to a brighter future and to take his place on the ruling council of the Rebel Faction. Jasmine wasn't sure if she was ready for that kind of responsibility, but she was optimistic about what lay ahead. She contacted the adventurers to meet her at the family Mansion, told them what she had learned, and gifted to them the droid C9-ZRD.
