Jasmine the Bat

Jasmine is a fifteen-year old female Mobian bat with a gaming streak. She is a supporting character in Dimitri Chronicles, a series created by Chamesthehero. Introduced in Reign of Darkness, the first installment of the series, she is one of the two workers of a small flower shop in Station Square.



Debuting in Oblivion of Shadows, Jasmine is daughter of House of Lilies' owner. Once believing her father's agricultural business would fail and being more interested on the contents of her phone, she could have been one of the factors it was on the verge of closing until someone else arrived.

Jasmine is aloof and socially awkward, preferring to remain connected to everything but her surroundings. However, much in contrast to her deadpan nature in real life, she is actually a popular internet celebrity with a big heart.

Physical Description
Jasmine is a lavender-colored bat with tan jasmine-colored skin who boasts an average height. Like other members of her species, she features black bat wings, large ears, and a fur-less overall except for her head. Along with her eyelashes and tail behind her, she also boasts lime-colored eyes.

This bat has a short, shoulder-length hair that sticks out sideways below, featuring lots of bangs; having one that covers most of her right eye. She wears a ring-themed silver-colored sweater that displays her shoulders and black-colored bra straps, a spiky choker, tight shorts, shoes, headphones, and stockings.

When it comes to having a womanly figure, Jasmine is above-average compared to females her age. Although she has a medium-sized chest, her sturdy legs and hips easily compensate for it!

Personality
Initially, Jasmine is introduced as an aloof, geeky, and introverted bat without too many expectations about her father's business that is old-fashioned in her eyes. Because of this carelessness, she used to spend most of her time listening to music with her headphones, detached from the real world. Beneath such cold and mistrusting persona lies an idealistic and passionate girl who, while charismatic in the virtual world, struggles to express herself with the same enthusiasm in real life, though she is progressively getting better.

Jasmine is someone that slowly warms up to people, but when she does, it is because a very strong bond between them has been created which she never will let go. Because of her co-worker's efforts, throughout the series, Jasmine begins to take her job more seriously and even admire the beauty of flowers she once did not understand, though she will never admit it.

Jasmine is an internet celebrity with an extremely popular gaming-related blog. Naturally, she bears extensive knowledge about technology, gaming, and almost anything virtual, and she passionately writes about them on her blog. It would not be far-fetched to say she is almost unbeatable in that regard.

Background
Jasmine was born in Station Square, one of the most famous cities within the southwestern continent of Soumerca, to the owners of the House of Lilies, a small local flower shop. Raised as an only child and with an introverted personality, against the will of her parents, she always had an interest in technology because it seemed fun and compensated for her loneliness and poor social life.

Eventually, the life of Jasmine almost revolved entirely around her passion: video-games. This bat became one of the best gamers of Station Square and started visiting conventions around parts of the continent. Soon, she became a modern gaming icon when she came in second place in a world tournament.

Becoming an important icon to many people worldwide, Jasmine's popularity in the internet exploded. She then started to write a blog all about gaming and her playthroughs; naturally, the opinion of the vice-champion became valued in the online community and she became very popular...

...However, despite being an online celebrity, the female bat was not all that important in real life. To most people around her, she seemed like an aloof girl with big headphones that disliked talking to others. Her geeky attitude also did not garner much attention, either. Aside from the internet, she had no friends...

Her family's business was also going downhill. Against her wishes, her parents forced her to work there to assist them with the management of the plants. But. Jasmine never had much faith in the business anyway, and she even stated that the tradition of giving flowers to each other was too obsolete.

Regardless, Jasmine worked there every week but with the music in her headphones at max volume, making lots of mistakes she never bothered to correct when it came to taking care of the flowers...

Enhanced Gaming
Through extensive practicing and analysis of the video-games she played, unsurprisingly, Jasmine has developed gaming abilities beyond the average video-game nerd. Naturally, much of her blog's popularity is contributed to her sheer amount of skill and insight among all genre of the platform.

Jasmine naturally boasts impressive hand-to-eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and inductive reasoning and hypothesis testing abilities; all originating from her gaming experiences. While this bat is more than capable of engaging in more than three games simultaneously, this divided attention seems only to be exclusive to video-games in general and not her daily tasks in real life.

Despite being considered one of the best gamers around, Jasmine's dedication to this particular activity led her to become antisocial and idealistic, disappointed reality is not as fantastic as the virtual world.

Gardening Skills
Initially, this female bat paid no attention to the flowers she watered. With the headphones blasting music at maximum volume and detached from reality, she would often water the flowers in an excessive amount and leave the temperature of her store's air-conditioner way too cold than it is appropriate for gardening.

During the events of Oblivion of Shadows, through Dimitri's assistance in their work and without admitting it, she becomes knowledgeable about gardening to the point of managing the store with her co-worker.

Creation and Development
The concept for the creation of Jasmine was created during the times while in a party. It originated from a beautiful, buxom gamer people introduced me to. She seemed somewhat introverted at first, but, surprisingly, she is actually well-known in Youtube for having a gaming channel. From there, the desire to create my personal take on gamer girls and internet celebrities became fervent.

Jasmine's role in Oblivion of Shadows actually was meant for someone else, but that idea was scrapped. Instead, creating a bat girl was very fun especially when there is a contrast between her and Rouge in terms of their core. Even my other character shares similarities, but this one does not nearly care that much!

She shows Dimitri not everyone else is eager to help others even when they would also be helping themselves. In many ways, the character feels personal. Maybe it is because people are more willing to relate to her? Regardless, Jasmine has received positive feedback from others and that makes me happy.
