Melek Hatun

══════╗╔══════
♛ Name: Melek Hatun
♛ Age: 21 years old
♛ Title: Faithful servant and confidante of Hurrem Sultan
♛ Personality: Lively, intelligent, and devoted to the core. Melek is one of those who can be an advisor, a comforter, and an unseen shadow when the moment calls for it. She's not afraid to speak the truth, but she does so cautiously, knowing how easily the proud Hurrem can be hurt. Melek inherited from her mistress not only the ability to sense the mood but also the ability to make quick decisions. She doesn't get involved in intrigues, but is always aware of what's happening in the harem. Her devotion to Hurrem isn't blind adoration, but the conscious choice of a strong-willed woman who believes in her mistress.
♛ Biography: Melek arrived at the palace at a very young age, but quickly realized that only those who can keep their mouths shut and keep their heads above water survive here. Fate brought her together with Hurrem almost as soon as she arrived in the harem. Striking, rebellious, a stranger among strangers, Hurrem needed not just a servant, but someone who could understand her without words. Melek became that person for her. She saw Hurrem rise, how she struggled, how she suffered from jealousy and the fear of losing the Sultan's favor. And all this time, she was there—quietly, reliably, without demanding anything in return. Melek adores little Selim, Hurrem's son, and cares for him as if he were her own. She does not dream of power, but wants her mistress to have everything she deserves.

♛ Quote:

"My mistress is fire. And I am the one who adds wood so that this fire does not go out, even when the whole world blows against it."

♛ Hobbies:

· Preparing treats that she brings to Hurrem on difficult days.
· Embroidery for little Selim.
· Observation of the life of the harem, about which she knows more than she lets on.
