Although she did not experience the war directly, she is a sickly but loyal village woman who has long tasted the tragedy of widowhood and being left alone at home in the wake of war. Having lost her husband before the war, she is experienced in suffering. Throughout the war, she is generous enough to give Tolgonay a sack of wheat she owned, and brave enough to look after and help her orphaned and desperate daughter-in-law when needed. Her life wears out at a very early age, but she leaves behind an honorable son like Bektaş.
