She’s a talented and natural-born athlete and her mindset has made her even better. She’s in shape and knows a lot about football. She has transferable skills to the present as she’s fast, has sharp reflexes and is strong for her size. [color=Saddlebrown][b]Trilingual ⫻[/b][/color] Jasmine speaks three languages that she picked up over her lifetime: English, German, and Amharic (a bit of Oromo). [color=Saddlebrown][b]Academic ⫻[/b][/color] In her obsessive pursuit to beat Eleanor Black, Jasmine hit the books. She’s very knowledgeable about a variety of subjects. Not an expert but trust, just [i]try[/i] and correct her.[/sub][/hider] [/cell][cell][sub][b][color=Saddlebrown] Appearance[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"If you make a butt joke, I swear to God."[/i] [indent]Jasmine is a very pronounced teenager in terms of appearance, some of it is because of her pronounced facial features because of her Ethiopian heritage. She just has that distinct Ethiopian facial shape. That means that Jasmine here is African-American to her very bone. Afro-textured hair, brown skin, thick lips, and of course the African facial shape. She has a slightly nerdy vibe about her because she is utterly blind without her glasses, and hates the fact that she has to wear them. However, the girl is much more in line with urban girls. It's the way she dresses and acts, after all. Jasmine has the aura of a model, mostly because she loves to pose and take pictures of herself. She's a girl that loves to be in tip-top shape, instead of being a slob. Because of this, the girl's body is pretty well-toned from exercise and the biz. She has very strongly built legs from years of football in her youth but the rest of her body is toned due to bodybuilding. All of this means that Jasmine is a tad muscular. She does have a bit of body fat, and all it does is make the girl curvier. I'll go into that later. The girl isn't painfully tall at five-three, but her build more than makes up for it. She has a pear body shape, instead of the famed hourglass - but she makes it work. With her lower body being the broader part of Jasmine, her breasts aren't anything to write home about at 34B, but her hips and behind are wide. Her perfectly round behind is the butt of many jokes. Jasmine walks with a swagger in her step and sways her hips left and right. She gives off the aura of a vain female with all the looks she gives people that tell them she's the queen bee. Though, she certainly has a playful side. It shows when she smiles - and that's only when she's around the people she trusts very much. [/indent] [/cell][/row][/table][sub][b] [color=Saddlebrown]Psychology[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"I told myself I wouldn't let another like Eleanor best me... and look around you."[/i] [INDENT][color=Saddlebrown][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Jasmine’s goal is to climb higher and higher in life using any means necessary. She sees someone doing better than her and she has no options to top them. She needs to best all of her rivals before she goes crazy. Silently her goal is to get over her inferiority complex somehow but unfortunately, she thinks it's by getting even better. [color=Saddlebrown][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Jasmine wholeheartedly believes that everyone has a purpose; regardless of if you’re fulfilling it or not. Everyone has to be great somehow and in order to be great you must work towards it and give it your all. Nobody got to where they were by being lazy and neither will Jasmine. [color=Saddlebrown][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Jasmine keeps her true feelings for Eleanor Black under wraps because she’s not sure how to process them. She just denies it for now. [color=Saddlebrown][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Jasmine says that she’s straight but is truly unsure. She finds herself being attracted to both men and women… but she’s not exactly the type of person who wants a relationship. She sees it as a distraction from her goals - in fact, she’s never gone on a date, never been in a relationship, and never had sex. Her standards are way too high for most people anyway. However, this causes her to act out a little because she’s [i]very[/i] sexually repressed. [color=Saddlebrown][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Jasmine fears the inevitability that she will never be good enough and for all of her training someone else will be better. What goes deeper than that is the fear that it’ll all be pointless in the end. That at the end of her story is not success but failure and its all a waste. [color=Saddlebrown][b]WHO IS ELEANOR BLACK TO YOU ⫻[/b][/color] Eleanor Black was Jasmine’s arch-rival. Eleanor was better than Jasmine in every aspect and Jasmine [i]hated[/i] it. However there was a hidden admiration for Eleanor that developed into romantic feelings. Jasmine deep down loves her but she doesn’t know anything about love. [color=Saddlebrown][b]FLAWS ⫻[/b][/color] Jasmine… lots of toxic ideals embedded into her when she was just a wee lad. She believes that she can’t slack even for a second, and cannot take it slow or else she’ll fall apart. Ignoring everything about her mental health or problems in favor of chasing success at all cost. Jasmine has been on the brink of falling apart for awhile now and just keeps pushing. Thus, Jasmine’s social skills are not the best as Jasmine can only really see from her own perspective. So to say the least; she’s [i]very[/i] stubborn.

Ay, this is starting to hurt my head."[/i] [indent]Nyala was born in Germany to parents that were very important architects that made plenty of trips around the world for business and pleasure. That made the money flow in for the young Nyala and gave her everything she ever wanted. She was always a ball of energy... like, she was a limitless supply of it. Which caused her to act out without any real outlet. It would be years before anyone would even think of putting Jasmine in a sport. Which ended up being football (or Soccer you American-centric swine) and it ended up being Nyala’s passion. Her parents were so happy that she came home with a trophy or a medal (and so was she!)… but so disappointed when she came short. Her father took her on a trip and told her if she’s going to get anywhere in the world she’s going to have to push herself to be the best. After all, he worked his ass off to get to Germany, worked his ass off to get a degree, and works his ass off to keep Nyala happy. So Nyala was not going to be a slacker, whether it was sports or academics. In high school she was the star player in the girl’s football team… for a few months before [i]she[/i] came; Eleanor Black. She joined the team and ended up being [i]better[/i] than Nyala. Not just at football but everything: she was a better student than her, more popular at school, and just [i]excelled.[/i] It forced Nyala to push herself further and further just to be better than her at [i]something[/i]. Only to just come up short. It was a trying time for Nyala, but she couldn’t help but have some type of… admiration for Eleanor. Even if she wondered if some of it was affection - the girl didn’t know how to process such emotions. She turned down every romantic gesture all because she didn’t have time to entertain everyone (and there were a lot). Even though Nyala wasn’t sure if she wanted to punch Eleanor Black in the face or kiss her, Eleanor showed her respect and kindness. Things that Nyala could not say she showed other people. Nyala’s dream was to join the women’s football team and Germany and her father pulled a few strings and a scout looked her way. With hard work and dedication, Nyala managed to get on the women’s football team. This was amazing but Nyala soon realized that, while she was the top dog in high school, she was a little fish in a big pond out here. And this team was cutthroat. Still, she was talented, skilled, whatever you call and that got her by… and of course Eleanor Black came along and joined the team. She was what Jasmine wanted to be: the star player instead of being… just there. As the years went by; Eleanor became a local hero, known minimally worldwide - And Nyala couldn’t take it. She worked so hard just to get bested by one person. Eleanor Black took them to the world championship against Columbia and Nyala had to watch it all. When Nyala was out on the field, she did something hasty - in a stroke of finally getting her power back, Nyala tripped Eleanor right as she was going to get the winning score. Nyala laughed in her face… as she was pelted with trash and kicked off the field. Thanks to Nyala, Germany lost and she was urged to resign from the team. Nyala gracefully took her exit and retreated into the shadows, unsure of what to do with her life. In a spur of what could only be impulsiveness, Nyala decided to start fresh in America - changing her name to something a bit more local… She liked the sound of [i]Jasmine.[/i] She took the long ass flight to Clearwater, Florida which was a culture shock for Jasmine to say the least. She attended school supported by her parents, but school wasn’t for her. She had that drive, and while she was disgraced, she made sure to use that in the gym. Making sure that she maintained that body, Jasmine spent countless hours at the gym and as a hobby built up a social media presence… and maybe thought that she could use her little bit of fame to become a fitness influencer. Except she wanted to be known for doing more than posing and taking pictures of her ass, she wanted to show that she put in the work. But the butt shots got the likes. It took her years but she finally found her place away from Eleanor Black… and she realized that even if she gets away from Eleanor Black, she’ll never “get away” from Eleanor Black. It was like she was the representation of all the heights that Jasmine was never going to reach. Jasmine lived with the fear of Eleanor Black was around the corner… and she still wanted her in [i]that[/i] way. One night Jasmine got drunk off wine and decided to stalk Eleanor Black on social media…. And couldn’t find her, maybe figuring that she had just deleted it. She looked her up to find… nothing. Which was odd because she was Germany’s darling. Whatever. The more Jasmine dug through the odder it seemed until she found out that the person she tripped was a different person altogether! This was odd because she hated (secretly loved) Eleanor Black with all of her heart! But Jasmine definitely wasn’t crazy - she recalled events to the letter. It wasn't even Eleanor Black who Jasmine tripped but apparently a different broad altogether. She found the others who knew about her and agreed to meet in Quintin… [/indent] [sub][b] [color=Saddlebrown]Paranormal-Abilities[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"...

Also, Ethiopians don't really do the last name thing so Jasmine's father's name is used as her surname.[/INDENT][/hider]
