Chapter One The first thing she was aware of is the sand all over her body .   It took her a while for her to realize that she was face down on the beach .   This realization came when the umpteenth wave of ocean crashed over her back .   Salt water on a raw back can wake up anybody . Even planeswalkers . Her name is Jasmine Sparkfloe .   Half - elf Daughter of an Fyndhornian elf and a barbarian who hailed from Keld .   Ascended at her thirteenth summer after falling off a tree .   She was mentored by Freyalise during her early teenage years . Over time, she learned how to use her gifts of manipulating mana at the Tolarian Academy . Jasmine was one of the few people there who knew that Master Malzra was really Ursa, the Great Artificer and the most known planeswalker of all .   (He was still a geek who didn’t know a student with a crush even if she fluttered her eyes at him, and she’ll tell anyone that she tried . ) During the Invasion of the Phyrexians, Jasmine was among those charged with defending the less powerful folk in the academy from Yawgmoth’s monstrosities, which she did with the passion inherent in her, predominantly Red, magical prowess .   Her fiery and passionate nature was closer to her father's than her more spiritual and contemplative mother's .
