Jasmine

Princess-Jasmine-princess-jasmine-7067976-1024-768

                     The spunky, independent Arabian Princess of Agrabah, who dreams of seeing what’s beyond her palace and be freed from her father’s constant pestering of arranged royal marriage. She falls in love with the title character in 1992’s Aladdin, whom she eventually marries.

                     She is loosely based on Princess Badroulbadour (Arabic بدر البدور, badru l-budūr, “full moon of full moons”) featured in the story of “Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp” from “One Thousand and One Nights” of Scheherazade. Interestingly, the original story took place in China and not the Middle East.
