Personality: Jasmine is a bright and colorful person. She can see the beauty in everything around her, which tends to make her zone out on occasions. She enjoys those around her and considers herself to be a good friend. She usually has a lot of thoughts running through her mind which lead to many artistic projects. She's sat in certain places for hours trying to figure out how to capture what she sees into a timestamp. She's always been the go to person whenever somebody wanted something a painting or a poster created. While she's always willing to help others out artistically, Jasmine isn't as open when it comes to everything else.
She's always jumping in with her opinion on a topic and will go on for hours if you let her. Jasmine rarely admits that she's wrong, but she's quick to tell others that they are. She doesn't devote the same time or patience to her social interactions as she does with her art. It makes her the type to rip the bandaid off. She doesn't care for the drama and believes that a real friend will tell you the truth regardless of whether you might like it. She doesn't share much about her own life. She's an extreme procrastinator and claims that it gives her the motivation to finish when it's done at the last possible second. This also means that her health gets put on the back burner until it becomes catastrophic.
Hometown: Born in Westchester, New York. Raised in Westchester and Houston, Texas.
History: Jasmine Simmons was born to Taylor and Ryan. She's an only child. When she was two her parents got divorced. She was too young to remember it, so it never really bothered her. Her mom stayed in upstate New York while her dad moved down to Texas. She lived with her mom, but would spend summer and holiday breaks living with her dad. Jas always enjoyed switching back and forth between the two. Luckily, her parents' divorce was amicable so on major events and birthdays she could have both of them with her without it ending in a screaming match. She has a younger half-brother, Ian. He's the child from her dad's second marriage. Even though they don't see each other that often, they're actually very close and talk as often as possible.
In elementary school, Jasmine was constantly in and out of doctor's offices. She would either be suffering from an ear or sinus infection or she would break something from doing something reckless. She considered herself to be invincible. She would constantly find taller things to climb and jump off of. Finally, having had enough, her dad enrolled her in a summer art camp. It was far more than macaroni necklaces and glitter glue. This camp was paint smocks and clay ovens. She fell hopelessly in love with art. From that point on it was the only thing she really cared about. Her parents were just glad they didn't have to make any more frequent trips to the ER for X-rays.
By the time high school rolled around, Jasmine had honed her artistic skills and her parents supported her completely. She made frequent trips to Manhattan to see as many art exhibits as possible. With a little help from a friend, she even managed to create her own website where people can commission her artwork. She managed to maintain decent grades all throughout high school. When it came time to apply for colleges, her dad informed her that he was getting another divorce and Ian was moving to Mississippi. Deciding that's where she needed to be, she applied to Pennbrooke University. So far, college had been far more intense than she had been expecting. Jasmine's last minute slacker nature was putting her further and further behind. When she got notification that she had lost her scholarship, she was terrified to tell her parents. She wasn't sure if she was going to be able to stay enrolled. She's never seen either of her parents so disappointed. The stress of everything began to take its toll in the form of an eating disorder. She's hoping that the girls in her sorority will become like family and help her rebound from all of this.
