Jasmine is the daughter of the Sultan and his wife. She lives in the lavish palace along with her father and
Rajah, her pet tiger that she found several years before the movie begins.
Jasmine is the rebellious and independent princess of Agrabah, a Middle Eastern kingdom ruled by her father, the sultan. The future sultana had obligations to her kingdom as she was kept in a closed palace surrounded by outdated laws. Consequently, Jasmine was treated like a sheltered object that couldn't make her own decisions; she desperately wanted to break free from these societal constraints so she could live freely.
