jasmine the last of five + being the youngest in a family of five siblings isn't always easy. she was the baby of the family pretty much until she moved away for college at 18. her mom still refers to her as her little baby girl, which jasmine both loathes and loves at the same time--it's so embarrassing when it's in front of other people but if she's feeling sad it always makes her feel better.

jasmine likes to dance + she likes to dance, and she's actually pretty good at it too. jamines dances all the time--when she's out partying with her friends, or at home while she cleans or do the dishes or even just whenever she feels like it. she used to take ballet lessons when she was younger, going to dance recitals that her mom liked to videotape and show guests. now she's switched out the ballet with poledancing (which she teaches) and yoga to stay in shape with the occasional modern dance class at the nearby dance studio whenever she has time.

jasmine doesn't drive + she failed her drivers test three times, and therefore had to rely on on public transportation or on others driving her around for almost a year before she finally passed the test on her fourth try. but even though she finally has her license, she doesn't own a car. thankfully, she likes to walk (and it totally counts as working out).

jasmine is a bit of an introvert + around new people she can seem a bit like an introvert, but once she trusts you she'll open up and share. however she's an open book when it comes to her family, and she tends to overshare much to her brothers dismay. despite her introvertness when it comes to private matters, she's actually a social girl, and she likes meeting new people. she doesn't dwell on past mistakes, and she tries to make the best of every situation.

jasmine as a friend + she's a very loyal friend, so once you've managed to squeeze yourself into her life you're there for good. and there is nothing she would not do for them.

jasmine loves animals + ever since she was a kid she's always loved animals. growing up, she'd bring in various animals found on the street or other places, much to her parents dismay and jasmine's allergies. her allergies were terrible as a kid, but have since gotten a lot better over the years, and now it seems like she can handle being with most animals. she even volunteers at a animal shelter. however, in order not to set off the allergies in anyway, jasmine doesn't own any pets even though she really wants a puppy.

jasmine is (not) a foodie + cooking is her therapy. she loves turning on some good, relaxing music, coming up with a recipe and putting it all together on a pretty plate for herself, her friends or her boyfriend to eat. it relaxes her to chop, stir, and listen to the sizzle on the pan, and it's a method she often uses when she feels like she needs to unwind or get her mind off things.

jasmine is a cancer + like with most astrology charts, some characteristics fits and some don't. loyal, dependable, caring, clingy, oversensitive are just some of the keywords of a cancer that fits jasmine. she has a drive to do what needs to be done, and is self-sufficient and doesn't need to depend on other people for the material and physical things in life. however, as much as she won't admit it, jasmine does depend on people for emotional support and encouragement. she needs to be needed.
