Uh, no. Definitely not. Thanks for the thoughts, Ignate!

When I started developing Jasmine's character, I wanted her to NOT be Miss Perfection and have no character flaws. I mean, she's far from perfect, as the plans I have for her past show, and her shyness is very intense.
I will admit that I
do have some romantic motives here, but it's not as you described-- if the episode sequence I have is just so (I plan on writing the series using the series as my time line), the romantic interest won't fully show until what would be the start of season two, so it's not instantaneous; it's not "madly in love," either-- Jasmine has the feelings for the character in question, but it's not sunshine, lollipops and roses. I would almost sugest that she has a mild paranoia that he's not going to love her back or love her and leave her, but I'm still fine-tuning all the details. And trust me, there will be issues in the relationship-- mostly trying to get Jasmine to not be so agonzingly shy and/or to open up to people. The friendship will be developed fairly quickly (again, I need to research episode sequence here), but the romantic interest shouldn't come into play until later.
