- Absurd Cutting Power: She uses her wind magic to give her blades extremely sharp edges.
- Abusive Parents: 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 Never My Fault and places the blame for Jasmine's misfortune solely on herself.

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.
- The Runaway: 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.
- The Unfavorite: During her upbringing, Jasmine was originally a case of Parental Favouritism 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.
- White Sheep: 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 Abusive Parents, in particular her father'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 sell out his own countrymen by collaborating with the Alacryans once they took control of Dicathen. Aside from her Abusive Parents, the rest of her siblings turned on and mocked her when her elemental affinity was displayed.
- Youngest Child Wins: 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.
