She's fit though, in a manner that isn't seemingly obvious. She's of average height, but occasionally enjoys being taller with heels.<br/><strong>Notable Features:</strong> Upon looking at Yasmin, it is easy to tell she has a signature style. What stands out most would easily be the bangs covering her forehead, and often her eyes as well if she slacks off when it comes to needing a trim. She's usually also seen wearing eyeliner, and possesses a wide array of different hooped earrings. Yasmin has also mastered the look of a pouty, doe-eyed innocent, so she often successfully pulls off the wounded puppy look when needing something from someone. </span><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"><em>personality &amp; history </em></span></strong></span></span></div><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://64.media.tumblr.com/c5eca5d77ef4134086b73c1506988060/tumblr_inline_ql6ptiqhh71wblodx_500.gif)<br/>(https://64.media.tumblr.com/c8636c7918000ec037a3123923ad2b9f/38de95fee824d56f-f6/s400x600/8a65f5323e45de8c012bd31759b06ea19ff1e044.gifv)</div><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">Personality:</span></strong><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="bbc_u"><em>Virtues</em></span>: Carefree ; Adventurous ; Kind ; Vivacious ; Loyal. <br/><span class="bbc_u"><em>Vices</em></span>: Hot-headed ; Nosy ; Impatient ; Loud ; Disorganised.</span><br/></div><br/><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">History:</span></strong><br/><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">Yasmin is the youngest in a family with three children, and is therefore a little bit spoiled. As a child, she was always quite free-spirited. She was rarely seen without an infectious smile, and she had a tendency to light up a room simply by walking into it. This much is still true today, but that isn't all she took with her from her childhood. She continues to possess a kind of naive optimism when it comes to other people, and she can also — unfortunately — be a bit immature, something most evidenced when she is unable to wait for too long for something. <br/><br/>Yasmin came from a loving family though, and because her mother came into the wizarding world from a non-magical background, Yasmin can definitely say she feels like she got the best of both worlds. Having experienced her fair share of magical as well as non-magical pastimes, Yasmin has developed a wide array of interests. Her inability to stick with an interest for too long however, means that at the moment, she's a little lost and not entirely sure of what she wants to do with her life. <br/><br/>In terms of academics, Yasmin began her schooling at Ursalis at the age of 11, keen on exploring a different atmosphere. She developed several ambitions along the way, often changing her mind every year or so. After graduating and getting into Hogwarts University, Yasmin decided she still had plenty of time to figure out what she was truly passionate about doing in her future. For the time being, she's more interested in meeting people, both familiar and new faces, and she wants to enjoy her first year, knowing things will inevitably get tougher as the years go by. <br/></span><br/></div><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"><em>traits</em></span></strong></span></span></div><br/><div class="floatright">(https://64.media.tumblr.com/5481e70f9bc74e837e57c3bda7ab7902/56e4d7e08378273f-4e/s540x810/390772b153b6586ad38cd433bbdf1bd8a74ab942.gif)<br/>(https://64.media.tumblr.com/97c262b65497d838c23b3a883888acca/tumblr_inline_ql6q5riyYO1wblodx_500.gif)</div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"><strong>Likes:</strong> Summer ; corny jokes ; magical creatures &amp; animals of all kinds ; chocolates ; alcohol ; hot tea ; doodling.<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Thunderstorms ; bullies ; being serious all the time ; excessive snow ; being lied to ; disloyalty ; unnecessary violence.<br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong> <br/><span class="bbc_u"><em>01. Empathy</em></span>: Yasmin is quite sensitive to the feelings of other people and usually tries to do what she can to help if she notices that someone is particularly bothered. She has a kind of awareness with people that she can't quite describe. She's just always been quite attuned to determining how a person is feeling, more often than not when those feelings are on the negative side. <br/><em><span class="bbc_u">02. Approachability</span></em>: Not just with other people, but with other animals and magical creatures as well. Yasmin tends to gain trust very quickly because even though she's noticeably loud, she's also capable of being soft and vulnerable in a way that draws people in and allows her to quickly bond with creatures of both the magical and non-magical variety. <br/><em><span class="bbc_u">03. Retentive</span></em>: Though she may sometimes seem a little scatterbrained, Yasmin has excellent knowledge retention. She rarely forgets what she reads or sees, and is well equipped with certain kinds of knowledge as long as it is of interest to her. Ironically though, despite being able to potentially memorise a page from a book, word for word, Yasmin can sometimes forget other simple things, like a close friend's birthday.  <br/><br/><strong>Flaws:</strong> <br/><em><span class="bbc_u">01. Nosy</span></em>: Yasmin has a tendency to stick her nose where it isn't always wanted. More often than not, she has her reasons, and typically chooses to butt into other people's business because she genuinely wants to help. It's just hard for her to get it in her head that her help isn't always wanted, nor is it needed in matters that don't really concern her. <br/><span class="bbc_u"><em>02. Impatient</em></span>: It takes very little to excite Yasmin, which also means that when she's all worked up, she's rarely willing to wait to get what she wants. As much as possible, she avoids making decisions that may be emotionally harmful to other people, but a lot of the time, her impatience means that certain things don't always register before she's made a decision. <br/><em><span class="bbc_u">03. Hot-Headed</span></em>: Yasmin is quite protective over the people in her life, and aside from that, she also tends to feel the need to stand up if she sees someone else be wronged, regardless of whether they actually know each other or not. Because of this, Yasmin can lose her temper quite quickly, but she also tends to recover from her anger just as fast.<br/></span><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"><em>wizarding information</em></span></strong></span></span></div><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://64.media.tumblr.com/b904314560493e919ea1cbea8c5da4c7/tumblr_inline_ql6pwzipWO1wblodx_500.gif)<br/>(https://64.media.tumblr.com/8d2c849faaecb311ccd3cb06e73c7deb/835dd582aee4cdc4-6c/s400x600/50a85dbead9289a13c87b11570eaa99c776453ed.gifv)</div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"><strong>Role:</strong> First year student.<br/><br/><strong>House:</strong> Unsorted.<br/><br/><strong>Wand:</strong> Rowan wood | Dittany stalk core | 13 inches | Slightly springy flexibility.
