“No, Angel. There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven’t you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices. I offered paradise. You chose this!”

Played by Gina Torres

First Appearance: Inside Out

Born from the intricate schemes of higher powers, Jasmine emerged as a being of unparalleled beauty and charisma, capable of inspiring absolute devotion in all who beheld her. She orchestrated her birth into the physical world through dark manipulations, using Cordelia Chase as her vessel. Preaching a message of peace and harmony, Jasmine united the people of Los Angeles under her thrall, offering an existence free of pain and conflict – but at a terrible cost. Feeding on the life force of her followers, her utopia came at the price of free will and individuality. When her true nature was revealed, Jasmine’s carefully constructed façade crumbled, and she was ultimately defeated by Angel, who chose the burden of a flawed world over the illusion of perfection.
