Jasmine

Overveiw
Jasmine is a Mermaid from South Africa and is a Zulu Princess.

Early Life
Jasmine is a very special girl and how she got into the world is a very strange way. Her mother is Myana the African goddess of Life and Nature. Her father, Baba is a Zulu King. We must go back to explain how she got here. Her mother, Myana was a young goddess just started out. Her mother Gaia had set her out on her own and Myana had to grow her own Tree. In African Life goddess/gods/spirits lived in Trees. Myana was about to make her own tree when she heard a sound. She hid behind a bush and saw a young man go by. She didn’t really look at his face but she knew that she loved him.

So she watched him from afar, protecting him if her need help, and he did. Once he was attacked by Lion and Myana saved him. He didn’t know who the beautiful woman was but her loved her. Myana continued to watch him and found out some information. His name was Baba, the Prince of a Zulu tribe and was engaged to another girl. Myana was heart broke but her love was to strong. One night while Baba slept she went into his dreams. She told him her feelings and he said he loved her too. They kissed in his dream and he woke up.

He grabbed a cloak and ran to the Tree that Myana had made. A old woman was sitting at the tree. He waked the old woman where he could find a young girl. The old woman pointed to the top of the tree. At first Baba didn’t want to climb the tree but something told him to. He climbed the tree and saw a tree house. We opened the door and saw a girl sitting in the middle of the room. He looked at her and asked who she was. The girl slowly raised her head and smiled, as did Baba. She told him who she was and dropped to his knees and confessed his love for her.

The next morning he returned to the village with only half the memory of what happened the other night. Myana watched him and saw him get married to the girl. 3 months later Myana noticed something was wrong. She was eating more then normal and during Baba’s visits she was moody. 1 month later she realized what happened. She was pregnant with Baba’s child and it was a great child. She was overjoyed as was Baba but then she was upset.

She had broken African Spirit Law. Conceiving a child with a mortal was forbidden. She didn’t know what to do. She told Baba and he kissed her. He told her to calm down, when the baby was born he would take care of it and she would have to forget she had a baby. As much as she didn’t want to, she had to. 5 months passed and she gave birth to a girl. She had dark skin like her father and her mothers sky blue eyes. Myana kept her for 5 days and then with tears in her eyes wrapped her in a silk blanket and gave the little baby to Baba. Before she left she gave the baby a necklace as protection.

Baba took the baby to his village and introduced her as his daughter Jasmine. Jasmine grew up with all the privileges that a Princess would have. She was carefree, hard headed, sharp tongued, adventurous and regal. Her father kept her in the village at all times and if she left, had 10 guards with her. This did stop her from ditching them sometimes. One day, when she was 10 she ditched her guards and ran into the forest. She slipped and fell down a tunnel into a medium sized underground pool. The water was under a tunnel that went up around 50 feet in the sky making it look like a volcano. She started to hang out there more because Dolphins and other sea animals would swim in and play there.

One day her guards found the role and when down. Hearing them she hid under the water just as the moon came out. It filled the hole and the water started to bubble. It bubbled for 10 minutes and her guards, seeing that she wasn’t there left. She surfaced and pulled her self out. She felt different but didn’t notice. She stayed a little longer and then ran her. Her father said nothing about her wet clothes and told her to change. The years rolled by and she is now 15 years old. She is just like she was 5 years ago but a little different. She wonders about her mother and who gave her the necklace she wears.

Later in Life


After Jasmine accepted her destiny she become a full pledged goddess and began her training. She offered to give her father immortality so that he wouldn’t leave her but he refused. He said that he was going to the Ancestors at the end of his life and he would always be with her. James came to her and said that he loved her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

She smiled and kissed him, in the kiss giving him immortality and they went put to her mother. Jasmine became a goddess and also because Queen of her people. Elizabeth and Amanda ever really forgive Jasmine for taking away their powers and tried several times to go back to the Moon Pool but Jasmine had put a protective barer over it. The only way to get it is to be a goddess or god. They tries to tell everyone that mermaids and African Spirits existed but no one believed them. They spent the rest of their days as crazy people.

She also had a special announcement for him. She was pregnant and for what she would tell they were twins.
