what are some of your s/i’s major skills?

Her biggest skill is conflict resolution! She’s also a fantastic seamstress and loves to make really complicated clothing. She’s a great friend and a surprisingly competent gambler at the blackjack or poker table!

what are the basics of your self insert? name, date of birth, height, etc.?

Jasmine Harley was born around 1998, in terms of Earth time. She never gets to be more than about 4’8 inches tall– she’s tiny! She has long, wavy black hair and wears frilly tea dress and gothic lolita style outfits.

would you be considered a main character, side character, villain, or something else?

Being from Homestuck, Jasmine is one of a large ensemble of main characters, and one of the four main characters of her specific part of the story.

She could in some ways be considered an antagonist, due to the way she initially appears to have screwed up the game by falling in with the villains (the dersite agents)

how does your self insert play a role in the plot of the story? do they help directly defeat the villain, support the heroes, etc.?

Jasmine is a major support character. She’s not really a fighter (though she’s gotten pointers with a knife from Jack), but just here presence in the narrative changes the whole trajectory of it by giving the heroes allies who would otherwise be enemies.

freebie! name a fact about your self insert you want everyone to know.

Jasmine is the early awakened dreamer in the third human sburb game in her cycle. That means she woke up on Derse when she was only a small child. Since she lived alone on her island on earth she spent much of her time sleeping, awake in Derse instead. Friendly and inquisitive she ended up befriending the Dersite agents mostly through sheer childish persistence.

She became so attached to them, and living on Derse absorbed so much of their culture and ideology that her main goal became to subvert the game and the prophecy, rather than trying to create a universe.
