Talking Bird, Singing Tree, Golden Water -- Wife of the Sultan

Princess Parizade's mother, as a young woman and as an older mother of three. She is the youngest of three girls and when she married the Sultan, her older sisters became frightfully jealous. They ended up convincing the Sultan that their youngest sister gave birth to a dog, a cat, and a piece of wood. The perfectly healthy children were thrown into the river in baskets while the Queen herself was thrown into a prison constructed for one. As you can imagine, this gives her a pensive and solemn demeanor to her already quite nature.
