Character
Another often reserved member of the team. She is an ESPer, which gives her psychometry powers. That means she can read the thoughts of a person that she comes in contact to, touch the location that person once was in, or use a medium that the other person is touching. However, overusing her psychic powers can exhaust her. To prevent herself from freely reading the mind of others, she wears gloves almost all the time.
Haas a wry sense of humor. Tends to throw in archaic phrasings into her speech patterns. Also gives clever nicknames to Kaijuuki and Alienizers.
It was revealed that she was very lonely in her childhood, as she had no friends with her psychic powers and almost allowed an Alienizer to kill her until Doggie Kruger stepped in and saved her. She was also one of the first members to join the S.P.D. squad, next to Houji. In MagiRanger vs. DekaRanger, Jasmine is conflicted about how to deal with her parents who abandoned her.

Trivia
- Reimon comes from Raymond Chandler, who wrote "The Long Goodbye" and other mysteries.
- Jasmine is from Jasmine Tea.
- Her nickname Jasmine isn't obvious like the others. The kanji for Marika are actually the same as Matsurika (マツリカ) which is the Japanese name for the Jasminum sambac flower. Hence, Jasmine. Given the cleverness of the wordplay, Jasmine probably came up with the nickname herself.
Puns
- Episode 4 (04:08): あっと驚くタメゴローね
- Episode 5 (09:07): 天は2物を与えず? (Proverb: Heaven does not grant people more than one talent) Used when she refers to Murphy personality, compared to his top-notch sense of smell and running ability.
- Episode 6 (04:40): 昼あんどんの内蔵助よ ("He's useless like Kuranosuke Oishi!") She was referring to Sen who seemed like he was good-for-nothing when he lazed around. Kuranosuke Oishi was the leader of the 47 Akou Samurais. The term "hiruandon" (literally, as useless as a lamp at noon) is usually applied to him, since he made his enemies misjudge him, and he successfully wiped them out.
