72
73	The youngest member of the Twin Horns, Jasmine is the youngest child of the renowned House Flamesworth, having been estranged from her family due to her aptitude in wind magic. Despite her aloof attitude, she gets attached surprisingly quickly to the little Arthur.
74	----
75	* AbsurdCuttingPower: She uses her wind magic to give her blades extremely sharp edges.
76	* AbusiveParents: The Flamesworths, as their name suggests, are renowned for producing outstanding fire mages. As such, Jasmine's father Trodius had great expectations when she awakened earlier than usual compared to her siblings, only for her to turn out to be a gifted air elementalist. While he doesn't outright kick her out of the house he makes it clear she doesn't belong in it. Her mother isn't any better either, as after Jasmine displayed her elemental affinity she acts like it was NeverMyFault and places the blame for Jasmine's misfortune solely on herself.
77	* AdventureDuo: During Arthur's days as the masked adventurer Note, he traveled alongside Jasmine as her protégé.
78	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She has long, dark hair that she ties in a ponytail and acts aloof to everyone around her, though she does have a soft side that she shows around Arthur.
79	* BigSisterInstinct: Despite not being related to him, Jasmine is very protective of the young Arthur and takes being unable to save him from the bandit ambush very personally. Later on in the Dire Tombs, she has a similar reaction to when they are about to be killed by the elderwood guardian, especially since she promised Arthur's parents that she would bring him home unharmed.
80	* BlowYouAway: Her elemental affinity is in wind magic. This ended up causing quite the rift between her and the rest of her family given their reputation for producing fire mages.
81	* CaptainErsatz: In the {{Webcomic}}, her appearance is a dead ringer for [[Anime/LogHorizon Akatsuki]].
82	* CoolBigSis: She starts viewing Arthur as a surrogate little brother, especially after she takes him under her wing as her apprentice.
83	* ADayInTheLimelight: She is one of the four leads of the {{Interquel}} novel, Volume 8.5. Later on, she received her own side story in the {{Webcomic}}, ''Jasmine: Wind-Borne'', which was released in the gap between Seasons 5 and 6.

85	* ElementalWeapon: Her mastery over wind magic allows her to imbue her blades with cutting wind.
86	* FragileSpeedster: Moves and strikes extremely fast thanks to her wind magic, but cannot take much punishment in return.
87	* LastSecondWordSwap: In her goodbye letter to Arthur after the incident in the Dire Tombs, she clearly crosses out the incomplete "Love" and replaces it with "Sincerely".
88	* TheMentor: Among the Twin Horns, she volunteers to be Arthur's adventuring mentor.
89	* NonIndicativeName: Intentional example. Despite her surname, she has wind instead of fire magic. This led to her being effectively disowned by her family for not conforming to their traditions.
90	* NotSoStoic: When she meets Arthur again after several years having thought that he had died, she runs into his arms and cries her eyes out as she apologizes for letting it happen. It happens again after the encounter with the elderwood guardian as when she wakes up from her injuries she immediately embraces Arthur and cries about not being able to protect him again.
91	* RazorWind: Her aptitude in wind magic allows Jasmine to project slicing blades of wind.
92	* TheRunaway: After her brother Tristan exposed her elemental affinity at a banquet her family was hosting, Jasmine decided enough was enough and ran away from her family to avoid any further abuse and humiliation from them.
93	* TomboyishPonytail: She is an ActionGirl who always wears her hair in a long ponytail, and her fighting style makes her an agile combatant.
94	* TheUnfavorite: During her upbringing, Jasmine was originally a case of ParentalFavouritism as her parents lauded her as a perfect prodigy for showing far more magical aptitude compared to her other siblings who they deemed as imperfect. However, when she awakened and her elemental affinity turned out to be for wind inside of fire like the rest of the family, her entire family's attitude towards her pulled a 180. Her parents were disappointed in her and viewed her as an embarrassment, while her siblings took the opportunity to have some schadenfreude over her misfortune and bully her.
95	* WhiteSheep: Other than her aunt Hester and her big sister Senyir, Jasmine is one of the few decent members of House Flamesworth. Her family is completely dominated by her AbusiveParents, in particular her father Trodius's austere and draconian personality and total adherence to tradition. Her father is so corrupt and self-serving that not only was he willing to throw away the lives of the soldiers under his command but also [[spoiler:sell out his own countrymen by collaborating with the Alacryans once they took control of Dicathen]]. Aside from her AbusiveParents, the rest of her siblings turned on and mocked her when her elemental affinity was displayed.
96	* YoungestChildWins: {{Subverted}} ''hard''. Jasmine's parents put high hopes for her unlike the rest of her siblings whom they deemed as failures. Then her elemental affinity proved to be in wind instead of fire, and suddenly her whole family turned on her.

133	[[folder:In General]]
134	* BadassCrew: On paper, all of them are highly experienced and talented adventurers. However...
135	* SacrificialLion: Despite their credentials as experienced adventurers, the dangers they face in the Dire Tombs end up overwhelming them, in particular the elderwood guardian which kills almost all of them.
