Jasmine[1][2] appears as a young human girl who is actually a Nix, meaning under certain lunar conditions, she transforms into a soul-sucking creature.
History
Although she and Jake met just the one time[3], She was later mentioned by Fu Dog[4]. Although Jake didn't see her, she was in the seating at the Ogre-Bowl[5] wearing a light blue sweater-dress. Jake later reminisced about the school dance where he spun Rose about the dance floor while Jasmine was in the background sucking out souls.
Physical Appearance
Jasmine is a tall and slender young girl with long black hair and a beauty mark under her left eye. She usually wore a short crimson red dress with black high-heeled shoes. Jake Long found her to be very attractive, which is why he immediately approached her to invite her to his school dance the moment he saw her.
Personality
Jasmine was a very friendly and outgoing individual. Even though she had only just met Jake at the Magus Bazaar, she was so charmed she accepted his invitation to his school dance without any hesitation.
Jasmine is very much aware of her Nix side. Like anyone would upon meeting a stranger, she does not openly share that side of her. She makes a point of insisting Jake get her home before the moon reaches a certain point in the center of the night sky, but does not inform him the why; that her other self will be unleashed. So conscientious as to remind him several times during the dance with obvious concern, even attempting to leave on her own as the time of her transformation grew close. She later apologized abundantly to Jake for the fiasco at the dance, which showed that she was not inherently evil despite the needs of being a Nix.
When upset or in a bad mood, Jasmine will growl and her eyes will glow red, her Nix side dominating her negative emotions.
Dragon's Breath
In counterpoint to her sweetness, Jasmine turns out to be a magical soul-sucking creature knows as a Nix, in which form has a serpent tail instead of legs, scaly green skin, sharp claws, fangs, a set of black wings, and glowing red eyes. Jasmine transforms when the moon reaches the center of the night sky and for the rest of the night until the moon sets, turning back to human form.
During Jake's party, although she did attempt to leave before she would change, Jasmine morphed into Nix form and instinctively proceeded to sucks the souls out of the entire student body. She then engaged in a fight with Jake, who managed to defeat her with his incredibly smelly Dragon breath. The souls were returned to their rightful bodies – although there was a mix-up with a couple, like Trixie and Spud – before Jasmine was taken care of by Lao Shi and Fu Dog until moonset.
After the dance, Jake eventually escorted her home, where she stated she had fun at the dance but apologized profusely for the trouble, but he shrugged it off as he knew he was to blame for it and apologized to her for getting too caught up in the fun. Afterwards, she becomes a good friend to him.
