Jasmine Vashar

Jasmine Vashar is the daughter and heir apparent of Ezra Vashar. Meddlesome, arrogant and audacious, she has appointed herself an agent of her father's ambitions - few as they may be. The Vashar patriarch has welcomed her involvement in the family's affairs, keeping confidence in her ability despite her utter lack of accomplishments.

Born a bastard, Jasmine's conception was a consequence of the infertility of Ezra Vashar's wife. She was the product of an affair with Nadine of Lys, the daughter of a petty merchant. Upon her arrival to Myr as an infant, she was immediately legitimized and raised at her father's court. After Ezra's divorce in 402 AC, she was seldom reminded of her lowly birth.

Only answering to the authority of a negligent father and a work-obsessed grandfather, her childhood was characterized by incessant mischief and infrequent consequences. Nevertheless, she eventually found a role model in her aunt, Rania Vashar. Merely seven years younger, Jasmine regarded her like a sister. In Rania, she saw an example of ambition, charm and confidence that she desperately wanted to emulate.

Like every Vashar, Jasmine was encouraged to dabble in business when she came of age. She has not, however, carved out any particular niche; instead, she sticks her nose into a wide variety of family enterprises. Thus far, most of her schemes have ended in failure, but she has yet to come to terms with her fluctuating level of competence. Nevertheless, her initiative alone has proven enough to earn her father's favor. Though Ezra has yet to formalize his intentions, she is widely regarded as the Vashar patriarch's likely heir - much to the chagrin of her insolent little brother.
