Jasmine Nocturne
Her Royal Highness, Princess Jasmine Belladonna Hecate Diana Nocturne
The princess of Umbragard, and Astor's younger sister.
Physical Description
Body Features
Like the rest of her family, Jasmine has incredibly pale skin. Her hair is straight like her father's and black like her mother's, and falls almost to her waist.
Facial Features
She has her father's narrow, diamond-shaped face and high cheekbones. Her eyes are bright blue, like Shadowlights, and she has vertical pupils.
Special abilities
Jasmine is less skilled at magic than her illustrious mother or her prodigious brother, but she doesn't lack magical ability. It's implied that Jasmine's limitations when it comes to magic are more psychological than genetic. Comparing herself to her brother and holding herself to a high standard damper her abilities, and she did not study magic as intensely as politics.
Psychic Abilites:
- Sight: Jasmine's Nightsense is to see flashes of the future, a gift that she inherited from her maternal grandmother. (It's unknown whether Hecate herself possesses this ability.) Jasmine mostly is afraid of her Sight, and it takes her a long time to be able to use it in a way that benefits herself and her kingdom.
- Curse Immunity: Her mother placed an enchantment upon her that makes her immune to most kinds of curses, giving her powerful protection against political enemies who would attempt to kill or incapacitate her. Sometimes the enchantment will magically transmute the curse into something useful or beneficial to Jasmine.
Apparel & Accessories
Jasmine's has five relatively thin layers of folds, resembling a Windymere Shadow's. They are bluish-gray and black, and she molds them into elegant sheer dresses and cloaks. She usually wears either plain black or a pale color like blue or white, or a mix of the two. She favors simple designs, but she will sometimes wear more complex ballgowns with many ribbons, bows, and ruffles. She tends to wear flowers as accessories. She also likes jewelry, and wears gemstones like sapphires, opals, onyx, and diamonds.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Jasmine is well aware that she is second to Astor both in the line of succession and in terms of magical power, and this bothers her more than she would admit. She intends to secure as much power for herself as possible, mastering Umbragard's political sphere on her own. Instead of groveling before Astor, she expresses her frustration that he seems to take politics much less seriously than she does. She fears being powerless and irrelevant. Privately, though, Jasmine is content with her garden.
Likes & Dislikes
Jasmine likes gardening, almost all plants (especially flowers), nocturnal animals, music, chess, horses, gargoyles, tea parties, ghosts, precious stones, light blue, and Shadowlights.
She dislikes gold (though doesn't despise it the way Eidolon does), chaos, sex, and people disturbing her garden.
Virtues & Personality perks
She shares Astor's appreciation for beauty, which she pours into her garden. She also holds herself to a very high standard of excellence. Like Eidos, she is disciplined in her behavior and emotions.
Vices & Personality flaws
Jasmine envies her brother's power, both the fact that he is first in line and also his magical aptitude. She is less empathetic than Eidolon or Astor and struggles to see things from other people's perspectives. Though she often has a point when she criticizes Astor's hedonism, she also projects her own insecurities onto him. Also like Eidolon, she can be manipulative, and she's more motivated by personal advantage than he is.
Social
Social Aptitude
Like Eidolon, Jasmine is extremely canny and socially attuned. She is a gracious hostess and enjoys refined tea parties with other ladies in her garden. She also allows Nyx and her friends to use her bathtub and beauty products. Though she's less intimidating than Astor, most of the young nobles have a wary respect for her. She also inherited her father's diplomatic skill, and can carefully manipulate court dynamics to get what she wants.
