Jasmine Al-Hamed

Born into greatness and wealth, Princess Jasmine was celebrated for years after her birth. She was to be the crown jewel of Agrabah. A princess of the decade. Time passed, the princess aged but it became apparent that she wasn't interested in the life of a married woman. In all honesty she just wasn't one to give her heart to the first man to walk in the door. With a commanding decree from her father the princess was forced to wed and her eyes fell on a handsome youth who wasn't everything that he appeared. Jasmine stuck around through the civil war, only wanting the best for her beloved country and people. Because of this she was stripped her title as Sultana of Agrabah and given a position as the Vizier to the Sultan Ja'far.

## Personality

Often others claim her to be like a tigress locked in a cage; angry and on edge, dangerous and destructive but that is only part of who Jasmine has become. She is fierce, strong willed, independent and full of spirit. Forever loyal to the Sultan and her husband, Jasmine does her best to remain close to the man who watched her rise to become Sultana, and then fall to become his adviser. She is witty, smart and well spoken with an attitude to follow. Jasmine longs to see the world beyond Agrabah but she also knows that her place is to be next to the Sultan. Jasmine has also been known to be a woman who is seemingly detached from others around her; she has become a person who isn't super affectionate towards others.

## History

Born and raised in the lap of luxury, Princess Jasmine was destined for
 greatness. Her mother died when she was born and her father placed her
 on a high pedestal for the nation to see. Princess Jasmine was
celebrated for days, years even, for as she aged the people, those who
would become her people, loved her more and more. As she aged it became
apparent that princess had a mind of her own. By her sixteenth birthday
 her father had decreed that she must choose a husband but he may not
just be some random man; he must be a prince. Not particularly one for
romance or to look for love, Jasmine struggled with the task. That is,
until Aladdin came along. Falling for his charm she declared him to be
her husband, not knowing his heritage or upbringing. The princess did
not really care for she loved the man for who he was. He took time and
had patience with her, allowing her to fall for him in her own time. She
 sunk into his arms like he was quicksand never looking around to see
that he was dragging her down.

Time passed and it became apparent that her country was slipping into
the grasps of evil. The man known as Oz took over her kingdom, she was
placed in protection and Jasmine saw her nation slip away. Jasmine
turned her alliances to Jafar, her father's Vizier. In a switch of roles
 some would say that Jasmine might be out to get her Sultanate back but
that is not the case. Eternally loyal to the man who watched her grow
up the ex-princess wishes for only the best for her home. Her eyes
always averted to the horizon at the adventure nearby some others of the
 palace have claimed her to be like a tiger trapped in a cage but
Jasmine is far to important to Agrahba and she knows it.

## Digging a little deeper

### Fears:

 Losing the trust of her Sultan; providing the wrong
information/providing bad advice. Seeing Ja'far as an uncle, Jasmine is
also afraid to disappoint him because he has taught her so much over the
 last few years.

### Strengths:

Born and raised to become the next Ruler of
Agrabah princess Jasmine excels in the public eye. It has been her
knowledge of politics that has gotten her her current position as the
Vizier to the Sultan. Jasmine is a smooth talker, knowing her way
around conversation and the games that come hand in hand with diplomatic
 affairs. The people adore her and adore her strength in taking a
position that is lesser then what she was born to be.

### Weaknesses:

Refuses to see the faults in those who she has deemed worthy of her love. Jasmine can also be incredibly stubborn.

## Weapons and Combat Style

Being born a princess, the only child to an aging sultan, Jasmine was never allowed to touch weapons nor was it her place. Instead she learned the ways of the woman in the Agrabahdian court. Since she was not able to pick up a weapon and fight like the boys she learned many other useful tasks.
