Drew’s Jasmine

The Jack of Harts universe has a main “story” timeline of around a century in my mind. There is extra padding on either side, and some of the characters of course have their own stories starting before or after that time frame. But Jack’s story really kicks off when The War begins, and that story continues for about a century, with the broad strokes of it already mapped out. Jasmine’s story starts around the same time that Jack’s main story begins, though of course since she is a cyber she has no past at all.

But an interesting bit of her character is that her story did not start with Jack. Her first pilot was Drew Keawe, a real life princess, a first daughter of the Star Kingdom of Hawaii. In Charles’ words, a hopeless optimist. When it came time for me to give Jasmine a Pre-Jack look, I thought I wanted something with brighter colors, and maybe something a bit more…well…optimistic. And so my mind went to the “radical” days of the sixties, mixed with more modern-to-me styles.

So here is Jasmine, as she was with Drew, bell bottoms and all. And yes, the peace sign on the shirt is…shall we say…on purpose. The idea of a cybernetic intelligence born to fight a war wearing a peace sign tickles my funny bone.
