- “We're fusing together like the cells of a single body. They're my eyes, my skin, my limbs, and, if need be, my fists.”
- ―Jasmine[src]
The Body Jasmine was a term Jasmine used to refer to the collective of people under her psychic thrall.[1] They were also referred to as Jasmaniacs.[2]
Powers and abilities[]
As Jasmine's power grew, so did her connection with her followers, who became extensions of her will. This connection first manifested through Jasmine's powerful hypnotic influence, which created an intense feeling of love and loyalty towards her. The will of anyone who saw Jasmine or heard her voice was supplanted with an overwhelming need to please and serve her. The connection to the Body Jasmine could be formed simply by seeing her face on a video or hearing a recording of her voice.[3]
Over time, the minds of Jasmine and her followers conjoined to become a hive mind connection, with Jasmine acting as the origin, able to communicate her wants and needs wordlessly to her followers and her followers able to telepathically communicate and share knowledge with each other.[2] Her connection with her followers allowed her to see through their eyes, feel what they felt, and speak through them.[1]
Jasmine would also receive any physical harm that was dealt to those in the Body Jasmine that she was actively telepathically engaged with. The damage she received, however, was minimal in comparison and generally healed moments after manifesting on her body.[1]
The control and connection Jasmine formed required her to feed on humans almost daily. The more humans she wished to absorb into the Body Jasmine, the more energy it required, therefore the more humans she needed to consume. While feeding on humans, she would temporarily be unable to telepathically connect with her followers, but they were never released from her mass hypnosis.[citation needed]
There where only two ways to be freed from the Body Jasmine; the first was for the blood of Jasmine or Cordelia to be introduced into the blood stream,[2] the second was for Jasmine's true name, unpronounceable by human tongues, to be spoken in her presence. Individuals freed from the Body Jasmine experienced a strong sadness and depression, devastated at the loss of the overwhelming love, tranquility, and connection they once reveled in.[4]
