Following the death of her husband after 25 years of a good marriage, she has pinned all her hopes on Ali's rise. Throughout the novel, she helplessly struggles to prevent her son's moral and physical decline solely through prayers and good intentions. Her idea—born of traditional wisdom—to 'bring a beautiful concubine into the house to rescue him from a bad woman' backfires horribly due to Ali Bey's state, poisoned by Mehpeyker's intrigues. Her heart is broken by her son drifting into a life of debauchery, abandoning her, and ignoring his filial duties. Consumed by deep sorrow, heart palpitations, and grief, she falls onto her deathbed and dies in utter isolation, having lost her son to darkness that he could not legitimize.
