Princess Jasmine is the daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah and his late wife, residing in the kingdom's lavished palace alongside her father and loyal companion, a tiger named Rajah. She believed him to be a spiritual gift from her mother, who would tell her stories about the ‘star tiger’ of the same name. Because of her status as a princess, Jasmine was unfortunately forbidden to ever leave the palace walls, spending her life sheltered within the confines of the royal home. She often felt suffocated by the laws of her kingdom, which restricted her from socialising with her subjects and forced her to constantly meeting suitors to possibly arrange marriages. This situation ultimately prevented Jasmine from making any real connections, as she had never had any true friends (aside from Rajah), which left her with the desire to see the world and experience life outside of being a sheltered princess. This desire alongside her rebellious nature would eventually result in her meeting Aladdin.
