Even though she is my least favorite, Jasmine is still a role model to me. A lot of times I feel uncomfortable saying what I am feeling, and while the way Jasmine did it was not the most productive, she still was always able t say what she was thinking, and I really look up to that in her.

Because she always speaks her mind and stands up for what she believes in. She never lets anyone walk over her.

Basically what dimitri_is_hot siad

Make your own decisions!

Other than the sex appeal. but that could become useful later on in life. She has a strong mind and was willing to start all the way from the bottom again if she had to go through with marrying someone she didn't love! That shows courage and she does has loving relationship with her father.

This picture kind of explains why.

She speaks how she feels

I wish I was as assertive and independent as her. She isn't afraid of speaking her mind.

Half and Half. I agree with what everyone else has said. The fact that she is a stong, independent woman who speaks her mind and won't let people push her around is great!
But she does abandon her duties when she runs away (yes I know she did it for good reasons - but she still did it) and has to be rescued alot, and she does use her looks to seduce Jafar. That plan did kind of work, and was clever, I just don't LIKE that plan.
