Chel & Jasmine

Chel's appearance:

Chel is a young and beautiful indigenous woman of Central American origin. She has dark skin, brown eyes, full coral-colored lips, and long, straight, thigh-length black hair with flat bangs and sideburns that fall partially over her ears. She also has a modest nose. She has a voluptuous figure, with wide hips and a prominent rear end. Chel's outfit consists of an off-white tube top with a thin red stripe beneath the thick pink stripe, along with a matching off-white loincloth that reaches her calf (near her ankles) and turquoise bracelets on both wrists. She also wears large diamond-shaped earrings the same color as her bracelets, though she replaces them with gold ones with small turquoise diamonds in the center; Tulio gave them to her. She always goes barefoot. Underneath, she wears a matching thong.

Chel's personality:

Chel is cunning and intelligent and acts as the femme fatale of her village: she sneaks around, trying to gather information about the two visitors, and although she discovers that Tulio and Miguel are not gods, she keeps their secret, hoping to use them and their riches to fund her own escape. Her local knowledge is key to maintaining the Spanish facade for as long as possible. She also seems to have a natural gift for children. She fits perfectly with the characters of Miguel and Tulio, as she is intelligent, brave, adventurous, and a born con artist, just like them, and prefers to act without a defined plan. She dreams of leaving her village and venturing into the outside world. Over time, she comes to appreciate the two con men and values ​​them for who they are. Eventually, she also becomes attracted to and genuinely infatuated with them, having previously been in love with Tulio, following a brief initial flirtation with him throughout the film. Throughout the film, Tulio also feels attracted to Chel and they both decide to become a couple. His caring side also comes out when he is around children and animals.

Chel's story:

Little is known about Chel's background. She is evidently disaffected when Tulio and Miguel meet her while she is fleeing El Dorado after stealing a golden statue's head. She is intentionally vague when asked why she would want to leave, only replying, "You have your reasons... and I have mine." Since many villagers wear gold jewelry, and none of Chel's original jewelry is gold, this could indicate that she was poor or of a low social standing. Her parents and other relatives are never mentioned or seen, suggesting that she is an only child and that her parents died long ago.

Jasmine's appearance:

She is a very voluptuous and attractive young woman of medium height. She has medium skin, long, shiny black hair, brown eyes, and a distinct hourglass figure. Jasmine's casual attire was designed to be simplistic, resembling that of Arab haram women. It is a cropped green tube top that reveals her midriff and navel with sewn-on sleeves for her arms, matching pants, and wavy green shoes. In the outfit, her hair is typically tied in a ponytail held by two sea-green headbands that match her outfit and end in a small swirl. She wears a sea-green headband with a sapphire centered on it. To complete her outfit, two large gold earrings hang from her ears, covering them completely, and a matching necklace. For formal occasions, such as the announcement of her engagement to Aladdin, Jasmine wore a purple dress. Unlike her casual clothes, this dress covers most of Jasmine's skin, with the fabric extending from her shoulders to her feet. The top half of the dress is strapless, and the bottom half consists of a single piece of belt (centered with a royal blue jewel) and a sheer pink veil flowing down, just below her calves. She also wears a headband with a similar royal blue jewel, while her hair is tied in a ponytail similar to the one associated with her casual outfit (though the blue bands are replaced with purple). When Jafar briefly takes control of Agrabah, he has Jasmine wear a red outfit (an alternate version of her casual clothes, sans her necklace and earrings) with several gold accessories, such as a snake bracelet and triangular, gold earrings. Jafar later creates a golden crown for Jasmine from her shackles when he decides to make her his queen. Her hair is also tied back in a ponytail, with a golden, seemingly metallic band.

Jasmine's personality:

Jasmine is a multi-layered character; incredibly independent and strong in many ways. She is not afraid to speak her mind no matter who she is up against; whether it be her father, Jafar, or some other villain corrupting Agrabah, Jasmine will not hesitate to stand up for what is right, especially for the safety of others as opposed to herself. This aspect of her character is heavily explored in the TV series, where Jasmine is shown to be very much the ruler of Agrabah alongside her father, as opposed to the stereotypical princess who just sits around on the sidelines. She is shown to participate in most political disputes and conversations, often gives suggestions on how to make peace (which often turn out to be successful), and is shown to have the same amount of respect that her father earns. Aside from this, Jasmine is extremely compassionate and caring toward her kingdom, her family, her friends, and especially Aladdin, whom she treats as a best friend as well as a lover. Together, the two share a strong bond, always open to each other's tendencies and ideals, and always looking out for each other. She is also a significant influence in the former Street Rat's life and usually serves as his main motivation in reforming himself for the better. As mentioned above, Jasmine cares deeply about her kingdom, and has shown to sacrifice herself many times for the safety of her subjects, as seen in "Bad Mood Rising" and "The Ethereal." In Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Her Dreams, Jasmine is shown to have an exceptional desire to contribute to her kingdom in ways that don't include flaunting her status as a princess.

Jasmine's story:

Orphaned at an early age, she learned to ride horses before she could walk. Since she was a child, she had a nanny named Aneesa who, according to the latter, was "a nightmare" to take care of, but turned out to be very patient with her. At some point, she obtained a tiger cub named Rajah, becoming her loyal pet. As the years passed, she longed to see beyond the walls of her castle, but her father, to protect her from the dangers of the world, would not allow it.
