As the avatar, she's supposed to master all elements. She mastered the fire easily, followed by the air; which she picked up pretty fast. After that she spent two years mastering the water, which included taming the ice. Last she learned to control the earth. Again; a piece of cake.
But lately metalbending, lavabending; and stuff like that, had been introduced and included as bindings… much like waterbending included the icebending. Jasmine made some progress with the lava, although; she still has a long journey ahead of her. Metalbending however; mission impossible. She had tried thousands of times; NOTHING. Not even the slightest movement had she managed to develop which frustrates her to death. Of course there was the old bloodbending… except for the fact that every time it crossed her mind she would get goose bumps and nightmares. However, it's nothing to worry about. Bloodbending is forbidden and obviously illegal.
''Jasmine!'' Julia's voice broke through her thoughts and soon she could make out her face.
With panic, she blew herself up on her feet before turning her head around in all kind of directions.
''Where is she?!'' she snaps at Julia; who becomes tearful.

''Let her out, what are you doing?!'' London was screaming at the guards who guarded the whining animal. Even thought he wasn't her biggest fan, he couldn't help but pity her.
''I demand you to let her loose!'' Robin tried as well but he knew that this was his father's doing. The gate closed and Naga disappeared.
London grabs the gate; starting to shake it, but for no use.
From nowhere, Jasmine appeared and picked up some water. Immediately she turned the water into sharp icicles; now pointing at the terrified guards. Her face… London had never seen her like this before and he had literally hit every single nerve of her body.
Just before she was about to drop the icicles a scream echoed.
''No!'' the icicles stopped some inches in front of the guards.
''Jasmine, darling, let's put them down huh? please…'' Alexander stared at the girl, but she didn't obey.
Suddenly she feels a hand grab her wrist and turns to face Julia. By the gaze of her friend, she dropped the icicles and they fell unto the guards; as water. Some of them made a noise, thinking icicles would run them through.
Jasmine now turned her gaze away, into thin air, while the tears made their way down.

Two days went by, and the avatar wouldn't wake up. Robin, Alex, Finex and Leo switched position, guarding the girl in pair. Her family and Julia went up and down as they pleased.
''Explain to me, again, why she won't wake up'' Leo broke the killing silence and Robin lifted his head while he stopped the spinning knife he entertained himself with.
''According to Julia; her avatar spirit is healing a broken heart, because she just lost her pet… or something like that… '' Robin glanced at the girl and then back at Leo who was nodding slowly. He didn't get it either.
''So, what do you think of Julia?'' the question hit Robin so hard that he nearly fell of his chair. No way? Leo, of all people, had a thing for Julia?!
''Not me you idiot! Finex has some kind of crush on her'' Robin grins and his heart returns to beat normally. That Finex had a thing for Julia wasn't unexpected. He was all for the sweet girls.
''I don't know, it's not like I know her… I think that London has a thing for her as well, which I can't understand… I mean she's not…'' how should he put this nicely...
''Hot? Yeah I feel ya'' Leo, who said more or less what he pleased, made it sound totally okay. However, Robin still thought it was mean to call a girl ugly.
''She, however, is smoking hot'' Robin didn't need to turn. He knew he was referring to Jasmine, which made him bite his lips together.
''Steady Romeo, haha, she's all yours; you know I'm not a one-woman-type'' that was true. Leo was more of a one-night-stand-type and for some reason; it pleased Robin. Silly, he thought.

Two more days went by and she was still in her sleep. That afternoon, Robin and Alex were guarding her. While they were playing a card game, a thunder-like noise made them both jump.
''What was that?'' Alex rose from his seat and peeked out the window. Robin right behind him.
''Apa'' the voice made them turn and there she sat. The noise cracked again and she threw away the blanket berore jumped right out the window. Robin almost jumped after of fear but she creates a big air boost and hits the ground softly. He always forgets that she masters all elements…
Their gazes followed the girl, who now stood in the middle of the garden; looking up at the sky. They follow her gaze… clouds?
''Have she gone mad?'' Alex whispers. Robin had the same thought. They watch as she puts two fingers in her mouth before breathing out air; making a whistle. He appears. Whit wide eyes they watch a big, six-legged, flying buffalo…
The animal hits the ground and Jasmine throws herself at its enormous head; giving him a big hug. What was it whit this girl and having monsters as pets?!
''No! Are you mad?! Oh and did I mention; NO'' Daniel, who wouldn't get up on the buffalo, is the last one standing on the ground. Jasmine started to lose her temper.
''Naga!'' she snaps before stamping on the ground, making Daniel fly up; screaming. He landed hard on the saddle, that the beast had on his back, and immediately started to moan.
''What have a said about using your bandings on me woman!'' he screamed while rubbing his back.
''Oh, no I told you; Either you get up, or I force you up… and you made a clear decision. Remember, this is your doing'' Jasmine replies while taking her seat at the neck of the buffalo.
''Everyone ready?!'' she continued but didn't wait for a response.
''Apa, jip-jip!'' and the beast jumped up in the air.
Jasmine had convinced everybody, well almost everybody, that there's still hope of finding Naga.
They flew around for hours before Jasmine heard Julia yawn. Based on Apa's behavior as well, she decided to turn back to the De Noir. Apa was tired and they had already began to argue back in the saddle. When they land, everyone jump off and heades to dine. Julia turned to look at Jasmine, but she already figured that she wouldn't join them. Robin gave her a nod, meaning that he would stay with her, and Finex manage to convince Julia to follow him up to the house.
''I'm sorry'' he said while looking at the girl who was petting her animal.
''It's fine'' she whispers, still patting the buffalo. Come on, say something Robin.
''Robin huh?'' she turned and Robin nodded.
''Jasmine; I really think we started off the wrong way'' she grinned, referring to when they tried attacking Naga.
''Yeah, I know your name'' WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?! OF ALL THINGS HE COULD HAVE SAID?! When he realized his words, he blush and tries to think about a way to save himself.
''What I mean… ehh..''' his palm slides down his neck. Jasmine chuckle by the view of him.
''You're cute. Food?'' she says, feeling sorry for the guy who looked uncomfortable. Robin meets her eyes before smiling and giving away a quick nod.
