Aliman is the smart, beautiful, and vibrant daughter-in-law who came from Tolgonay's mountain village. She is passionately attached to Kasım. The young girl who worked in the fields laughing and chirping with her husband during harvest time suffers a mental breakdown when her husband goes to war and the news of his death arrives. When her youth and loneliness do not allow her to wait desperately for Kasım's return, a great anger accumulates within her. As a widow, she succumbs to the pessimism brought by the war and has an affair with a shepherd passing near the village out of momentary emotions born of hopelessness. Even though the chastity of her marriage is overshadowed, Tolgonay does not judge her. However, as a result of the loneliness she experiences when her labor pains begin, she tragically dies in the middle of a stormy night while giving birth to her child on the road. Her fate is the most painful tableau of the women left behind by the war.
A sun-kissed, youthful mountaineer born in Kayindi village. She grew up quickly and met Kasym while operating a combine harvester. With her beautiful voice and smiles, she became one of the core figures who created a complete family after entering the lives of Suvankul and Tolgonay.
She has sun-kissed, wheat-colored skin and a youthful, delicate build. Initially, she draws attention with her white traditional dress, red headscarf, and eyes that shine like coal. Her white teeth gleam when she smiles. After the loss of her husband, her beauty fades, her hair becomes disheveled, her dresses tear, and her eyes become swollen and bruised.
Kasım
The symbol of love, years full of life, and unfinished dreams.
Canbolat
The longing for the babyhood she could not keep alive.
Tolgonay
Both a mother and the sanctuary for whom she feels pangs of conscience.
