Jasmine

Jasmine is Leshawna's friend who auditioned for Total Drama Action, but never actually appeared and competed in the season.

Coverage
Her only appearance was in Leshawna's exclusive video message from home which was seen as commercials on Cartoon Network. She mistook it for an audition for the second season, because she wanted to be part of Total Drama. As part of her audition, she begins to recite Juliet's monologue from the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet." She barely finishes the first sentence before realizing it's incorrect and then says that it isn't important. She explains that she has attended McGillis Talent Agency, a drama class, and lives in a rough neighborhood on a peninsula, in which she calls it a "Total Drama Peninsula". At that point, the camera man points out that she is supposed to

be talking about Leshawna. Upon hearing this, she misses the point and asks if Leshawna would like an autographed 8x10 photograph of herself. The video then ends.

Her video is unique because the other videos show family members, but this shows a best friend, which implies Jasmine is like family to Leshawna. Jasmine is the first family-like figure in Leshawna's life to make an appearance, though it was in a commercial and not on the actual show. Leshawna's best friend and cousin, Leshaniqua, is the second to be revealed, but the first one to make an appearance on the actual show.

Trivia

 * Her overall design almost perfectly matches Courtney's design, with the exception of her nose, skin color, hair color, and her outfit. Her lips resemble Katie's.
 * Despite her audition, she never ended up being a contestant and never appeared on the show again.
 * The poster, the bear, and the bed are similar items to the ones found in Katie and Sadie's room in their audition for the show.
 * In One Flu Over the Cuckoos, Leshawna claims that her best friend is her cousin, Leshaniqua, and not Jasmine.
 * The "McGillis Talent Agency" that Jasmine references during her audition tape is a reference to Tom McGillis, who co-created, produced, and partially directed Total Drama.
 * Jasmine is the first known non-contestant to make an audition tape, although this isn't technically a real one. It is supposed to be a video message from home to Leshawna, but she either mistakes it for an audition tape, or she deliberately takes advantage of the opportunity to make herself famous, rather than actually give a message to Leshawna.
 * The ballerina poster she has in the background of her room is similar to Mike's poster in his room in his audition video.
