THIRTY YEARS OLD ☸ EXOTIC DANCER
A star, mama! Mr. Ryan said he’s going to make me a star!”
A small town girl who dreamed of something bigger, Mary-Catherine Jolene always knew that she was bigger than the farm land she was raised on. Cows and pasture, a school house just down the dirt road and not much more, surely, there had to be more out there than this. Bored at an early age, talent was going to be her ticket out of there and into something bigger. That wasn’t to say that success elsewhere wouldn’t come with its hurtles to leap over, it was all just a matter of when. Praised constantly for not only her voice, but her acting chops as well, as Mary-Catherine grew older, her ego grew along with it. By the age of eighteen, she knew there was only one option - to find a way into the big city no ifs, ands, or buts. At the point where her parents technically had no more control over her, talk between her own family and another to marry her off, as if she were nothing more to her father than another cattle to herd off, it was that which gave Mary-Catherine the lack of empathy needed to ditch town with a small bag of cash her mother and father had hidden underneath their mattress for years.
Ditching her name in turn for something with a bigger stage presence, something more ‘exotic’ in New York, Mary-Catherine became someone else entirely - Jasmine Jolene. For years she would attempt to make her break to center stage, and for years she would fail to succeed. That all turned around the moment in which she landed herself a role as a chorus girl in one of Sander Cohen’s productions. Though the man wouldn’t look twice at her despite her efforts to show him of the talents she possessed, another eye was caught - the eye of Andrew Ryan. An offer made to come to Rapture, while it wouldn’t be the life she always wanted, it would be a change of scenery no less, a change of scenery in a place that would someday make a stamp on the world. A stage complete with a pole, Jasmine made the best of things, growing closer still to Ryan in the process. Her ultimate role found in playing his mistress, all was going so well until a recent pregnancy scare that has her reconsidering.
+-
Andrew Ryan - While there was a time that she could have seen herself falling in love with Andrew, things are changing and that’s no secret. Having known him before the move to Rapture, she’s seen first-hand how power hungry he’s become and is questioning if he’s still the man she used to know.
Anna Culpepper - Jasmine doesn’t know what she’d do without Anna, and vice versa. Anna is the only person in Rapture that she fully trusts, which was why she held no questions on who to turn to when the pregnancy scare hit. Anna’s been nothing but supportive until they know for sure, but she can sense the other girl’s fear.
Sander Cohen - Sander’s distaste for her is no secret. Even the blind could see as much, unfortunately for Jasmine it’s a hatred she can’t seem to step away from, however that doesn’t mean she has to take it laying down. Tired of watching the Sander step all over people, she ceases every opportunity to put the man in his place.
