Jasmine
Voiced by Linda Larkin (speaking) and Lea Salonga (singing)
The beautiful Jasmine, daughter of the Sultan, is only a few days short of her 16th birthday; the day on which, by law, she must choose a husband. However, she wants to marry for love, so -- to her father's great dismay -- she keeps turning away her high-born suitors. She then decides to flee the luxuries of the palace for the wild adventure of the marketplace ... where she happens to fall into the company of a young street thief, Aladdin. Headstrong and impetuous, she makes a perfect match for Aladdin, although a street thief is hardly prince material. But after saving the Sultan and the kingdom from the harmful ways of the evil Jafar, Aladdin and Jasmine have all the blessings they need to live "happily ever after."
Jasmine is the princess of Agrabah. She is a headstrong teenager who refuses to marry a prince (she describes princes as overdressed and self-absorbed) even though the law says she must marry a prince. She falls in love with Aladdin, but the guards haul Aladdin away to be "beheaded" before she even gets to know his name. When Aladdin returns as Prince Ali, she falls in love with Ali too, but when Jafar takes the lamp and becomes a powerful sorcerer, Aladdin must save Jasmine before she dies in an hourglass created by Jafar. He saves her, of course, and their love endures some rocky times during the cartoon series before they are finally married in Prince of Thieves. Jasmine is one of the less well-defined characters of the series. In one episode she is madly in love with Aladdin and in the next she is angry with him. Two of her better episodes are:
The Ethereal
The Secret of Dagger Rock
