Jasmine Barnes, the lesser-known sister of Bucky Barnes, was born into a world already shadowed by the looming threat of war. In her early thirties, Jasmine had the same piercing blue eyes as her brother, but her hair was a darker shade of brown, often tied back in a practical bun. Her face, angular and determined, bore the scars of her harsh experiences, yet her smile, when it appeared, was warm and reminiscent of happier times. Dressed often in the utilitarian garb of a spy—dark, nondescript clothing that allowed her to blend into any crowd—Jasmine carried herself with a quiet confidence that belied her tumultuous past.
A skilled American spy during the war, Jasmine was captured by Hydra, an organization whose cruelty knew no bounds. Tortured relentlessly, she was forced into a corner where she had to choose between her morals and her survival. Under duress, she agreed to conduct experiments on prisoners, unknowingly including her own brother, Bucky. The realization came too late, and her attempt to save him resulted in a gunshot wound to her chest. Left for dead, Jasmine's resilience shone through as she escaped, taking with her a new experimental subject, Wanda Maximoff.
Jasmine's life was a tapestry of internal and external conflicts. The guilt of her actions haunted her, pushing her to seek redemption by protecting Wanda, whom she saw as a symbol of hope and a second chance. Her journey was fraught with danger, as Hydra relentlessly pursued her, driven by their desire to reclaim their asset and punish Jasmine for her betrayal. Yet, it was her unwavering determination and her ability to adapt and survive that allowed her to navigate this perilous path. Her story ended not in redemption, but in a continuous fight for justice, her legacy intertwined with the fate of those she sought to protect.
Jasmine's unique trait was her ability to speak several languages fluently, often switching between them mid-conversation, a skill that served her well in espionage but also highlighted her adaptability and intelligence. Her motivations were deeply personal, driven by a need to atone for her past actions and to protect the innocent from suffering the same fate as her brother.
