Valide Aybige Sultan

══════╗╔══════
♛ Name: Valide Aybige Sultan
♛ Age: 46 years old
♛ Title: Valide of the Crimean Khanate, mother of Khan Mehmed Giray, Keeper of the Khan's Harem
♛ Personality: Wise, powerful, and far-sighted. Aybige Sultan is a woman who has spent her entire life learning to survive amidst the intrigues and ambitions of men. She does not tolerate weakness in herself or others, but knows how to be merciful when it does not harm the interests of the dynasty. Her word is law in the khan's palace, although she prefers to act indirectly, rather through advice, hints, and subtle exploitation of others' weaknesses. She sees through people and is rarely wrong in her judgment. Aybige loves her son immensely, but that is precisely why she is strict with him: she knows that leniency is an unaffordable luxury for a ruler. She is not one to forgive mistakes, but is ready to fight for her son to her last breath.
♛ Biography: Aybige Sultan has come a long way from a young concubine to the most influential woman in the Crimean Khanate. She was not only the late khan's wife, but also his loyal ally, the one who helped him maintain the throne during the most turbulent times. After her husband's death, it was her will and intelligence that helped the young Mehmed Giray take the throne, pushing aside his rivals. Now she is the Valide, the mother of the ruling khan, and her influence is felt everywhere: from the harem to the state councils. She does not interfere openly in affairs, but no important decision is made without her advice. Aybige worries about her son: he is too sensitive, too captivated by poetry and beauty, forgetting that power does not forgive dreamers. She does not know about his heartfelt secret, but she already senses that something is happening to him, and this worries her.
