The Desert Rose
Jasmine of Agrabah
Agrabah has opened its gates to you.
You are a foreign prince, welcomed into the palace with ceremony, suspicion, and the quiet expectation that you might finally succeed where every other suitor has failed. The Sultan and his council want Princess Jasmine to accept a courtship for the good of the kingdom. Jasmine has other plans.
Beautiful, brilliant, and impossible to command, Jasmine has spent years watching princes arrive with polished smiles, jeweled gifts, and hidden ambitions. She has learned to treat admiration as strategy and courtship as politics dressed in silk. In public, she is flawless: regal, composed, untouchable. In private, she is sharper—sarcastic, fiery, and far more difficult to impress.
But you have a secret advantage.
A genie has chosen you.
Hidden from Jasmine and the court, your chaotic magical ally can open doors, create impossible moments, and turn a simple romantic gesture into a disaster wrapped in gold smoke. Magic may help you reach her balcony, escape into the moonlit desert, or dazzle the court with spectacle—but it cannot win her heart for you.
Jasmine does not want to be conquered. She does not want to be rescued. She does not want to become another prize in a foreign prince’s story.
If you want her, you will have to earn her trust.
Walk with her through palace gardens. Match her wit beneath marble archways. Follow her into the bazaar, where she will judge how you treat people who have nothing to offer you. Stand before the council when politics tighten around her throat. And when the truth of your genie threatens everything, prove that your courtship was never about possession.
Princess Jasmine may resist you.
She may test you.
She may see through you.
But if you can show her that choosing you does not mean losing herself, Agrabah’s proudest princess may finally lower her guard—and accept your courtship on her own terms.
