Description: With dusky skin and lithe feline grace, Yasmine exudes a glorious exotic beauty that both entices the senses, and marks her, undeniably, as a Prodigal. Her deep green eyes, flecked with gold, dazzle anyone she dares turn her vibrant smile upon. Lushly curvaceous, she moves with light motions, allowing just enough sway in her hips to enhance her natural grace, without being coy and doxy. Her emotions reflect in her expressions, and the melody of her voice, lending intensity to any performance she may give, on or off the stage. Her hair hangs in blue-black waves, framing her face and shoulders with elegant delight. A woman of confidence just short of brazen gregariousness, Yasmine's attractiveness rarely causes jealousy, only a desire to know her more.

Personality: Intelligent and confident, Yasmine hasn't lived the easiest life, but uses her experiences to make herself happy. She does what she needs to do, and finds the good in most situations. She loves to perform, to act, to lose herself in a part she plays, whether she mimics the most successful courtesans, or a wicked brigand in a show. She has a sense of loyalty about her that never waivers, proud of her family and her people, even though most of Arx may ostracize her for her origins. She is not blind to the drawbacks of her people, but she also takes note of the shortcomings of the others around her. But, like her own life, she tries to find the good in people. It's always useful, whether it makes her more money by her performance pleasing them, or getting out of a bad situation by knowing the people around her, and their motivations.

Background: Members of the Abandoned tribes who return to civilized society are treated as the lowest of the low throughout the Compact, the so-called 'Prodigals' facing constant discrimation from noble and commoner alike. But Yasmine knows that even among the prodigals, the Ravashari are singled out for distrust and are on the receiving end of the bitter contempt that even the lowest of society reserve for those less than they. Being born and raised among the Ravashari, the nomadic ethnic group of prodigals who are tolerated at best in the Compact, was difficult for Yasmine but she never expected otherwise. She's defensively proud of her roots, even if she privately admits there might be more truth than she cares for among the common stereotypes of her people as scoundrels, swindlers and thieves. Not, she'd hasten to add, that it is unexpected when desperate people are forced to do whatever is necessary to survive. Yasmine knows a little something about survival herself, after all. As a child, she was forced to be a pickpocket in the Lower Boroughs in order to make certain her small Ravashari family didn't starve, discovering she had a positive talent for talking her way out of dangerous situations. As a young woman, that talent became a penchant for trickery that allowed her family to do better than survive, and now as an adult she is a talented entertainer using her gifts for song and dance to live in something approaching relative comfort in the Lower Boroughs. While she might dream of the pampered lives of the courtesans to nobility, Yasmine knows she's still a tremendous success on her own terms.

    Alarissa The ravishing Ravashari. Oh, the times spent with her are delightful, and seeing what else she comes up with are even more so. That she brings such delight to my friend makes me happy. A brilliant ray of sun in a sometimes dreary compact.
    Alexis Actress Yasmine is a bright and charming woman. Her reputation preceedes her, and yet... She's very disarming and wonderful in person. And a connoisseur of hairpins. Maybe I'll invite her back when time comes to introduce other jewelry pieces.
    Anisha Messere Yasmine Champagne is a woman whose reputation precedes her. Bold and audacious, part of one of the most successful trading houses in our generation. And she is everything you'd expect upon hearing that - charming, keen, cunning. To host alongside her will be a thrilling experience.
    Astrid Yasmine Champagne is the soul of grace and charm. She has provided something no one else in the city has, and for that she will always hold a special place.
    Aswin A business minded merchant. She is not as soft as she looks, though I hardly expected her to be. You don't get to the places that she has made it being soft. I hope to prove myself to her in the future, if for no other reason that it would be an accomplishment to earn her respect.
    Catalana Clever and beautiful. Such a deadly combination.
    Dio A woman of exquisite taste in fashion, whose every word rings with the promise of prosperity.
    Domonico This Prodigal woman speaks with more wisdom than many of the nobility of the Compact. I approve
    Drusila A true treasure of Arx, a woman forging her own success in the flames of ambition and talent. Let the world behold what is possible when you allow true strength to rise to the forefront.
    Eddard Those hips sway mesmerizingly.
    Evaristo Yasmine Champagne, a name spoken all over town, and always with admiration. Meeting her, it is clear it is absolutely no exaggeration.
    Gilroy The legend herself. One day I'll get to see her dance! Or act! Or both!
    Harlex The world sits fixated to her dance, even still. I'm no better.
    Kaia A talented woman; an actress and master of the markets. She seems friendly, and makes for pleasant conversation. The type of woman I would seriously consider to have as a protege should she ever be in need of a patron.
    Lucilia A very nice woman, a competitor, and an actor too? What an interesting bundle, I'll have to attend one of her plays...
    Mabelle Such delicate, elegant and impressive woman. Made me feel like I need refinement.
    Marisol A curious woman I met at Master Venturo's hall. I think we have similar taste in what appeals to us. She was rather interesting and I think, well I hope fate will cross our paths again.
    Mikani A creative genius. In the area of agriculture and theater. She is amazing.
    Nina She's a terrific dancer! An absolute shoo-in in a dance competition I think.
    Petal Meeting the dancer and merchant herself! She seems interesting and I think she is clever and gets good deals.
    Qadira Incredibly drinkable, and the wine isn't half bad either. Appreciate a woman who doesn't judge based on appearances. She and the Archlector probably had the right of with my enthusiasm, too. Good drink and a free lesson in being an upstanding citizen? Bargain.
    Ras She's capable. Comes off charming. But ain't afraid to get her boots dirty, at least. Not sure about her hands yet.
    Reese A lovely dancer who I hear is also talented with money and deals.
    Sabella Yasmine has always been so very kind to me, one of the few who welcomed me with open arms back when I was a Mummer with the Black Rose! She taught me to dance and I will always be grateful for her wonderful kindness--and her amazing talent!
    Selene The greatest jewel in the Compact is wisdom. Having courage and class is a rare combination. Yasmine outshines most of us, by cultivating the rare blend of assets that make her a delight.
    Venturo The lovely Mistress Champagne. A pleasure to have met her, and I look forward to seeing her singing and dancing.
