Jasmine “Jazz” Cortez Full Name: Jasmine Cortez Nickname / Alias: Jazz Age: 22 Gender: Female Ethnicity / Nationality: Latina-American / Hispanic-American Relationship Status: Complicated / recently separated from Nova Cynosa Role: Socialite, partygoer, fashion-conscious civilian, and recurring character Appearance Jasmine is a young Latina woman with a confident, fashionable appearance that immediately draws attention. She takes considerable pride in how she presents herself and rarely leaves the house without making sure her outfit, hair, and overall appearance are exactly how she wants them. Her style leans heavily toward modern nightlife fashion. She favors stylish outfits that are eye-catching without necessarily being extravagant, often mixing trendy pieces with her own personal flair. Jasmine enjoys accessories, jewelry, carefully chosen shoes, and other small details that make an outfit feel distinctly hers. She usually carries herself with relaxed confidence, often standing with one hand on her hip or casually adjusting her hair when speaking to someone. Her facial expressions are particularly expressive. She can switch from an amused smirk to an irritated glare within seconds, especially when someone says something she doesn't like. Personality Jasmine is charismatic, confident, socially intelligent, and very aware of the effect she has on other people. She enjoys attention, compliments, affection, and being around people who appreciate her. She isn't necessarily desperate for attention, but she definitely notices when she isn't receiving it. Being ignored or treated as though she's unimportant is one of the quickest ways to put her in a bad mood. Despite her outgoing personality, Jasmine isn't simply loud or constantly energetic. She knows when to be charming, when to be playful, and when to become serious. She can read a room surprisingly well and is often capable of taking control of an awkward social situation before anyone else realizes what's happening. She's also stubborn. Once Jasmine has decided that something is important to her, convincing her otherwise can be extremely difficult. She doesn't enjoy being told what she should feel or how she should behave. Her softer side Beneath her confident exterior, Jasmine is considerably more emotionally sensitive than she likes people to know. She cares deeply about the people she becomes attached to and can become genuinely hurt when someone she trusts betrays her. She may initially hide that hurt behind sarcasm, irritation, or indifference, but it tends to linger underneath. Jasmine particularly values loyalty. To her, trust isn't something that should be casually broken and repaired whenever convenient. She can also become protective of people she considers close friends. If someone she cares about is being mistreated, her usual playful attitude can disappear surprisingly quickly.

Although they were once together, their relationship eventually became strained enough to end in a breakup. Jasmine still has complicated feelings surrounding Nova, particularly because she takes loyalty and relationships seriously. Social Behavior Jasmine tends to naturally occupy the center of conversations. She isn't necessarily trying to dominate every room she enters. When meeting someone new, she may initially tease them or lightly challenge them to figure out what kind of person they are. Jasmine's speech is casual, expressive, and confident. She frequently uses sarcasm, playful teasing, rhetorical questions, and short dismissive remarks when annoyed.
