Seyran korhan

QUESTIONNAIRE

Name: Seyran
Last name: Korhan (née Shanly)
Age: 19 years

Character:

Seiran is a girl who combines strength of spirit with a deeply hidden tenderness. She is proud, but not arrogant; stubborn, but not reckless. Her main weapon is not screams or tears, but an icy calm with which she can hurt more deeply than any words. Seiran is the kind of person who will stand tall even when the world is crumbling, because showing weakness is unthinkable to her.

Behind her cold exterior lies a warm heart. She has a keen sense of injustice and never remains silent if she believes the truth is on her side. This often creates problems for her—especially in the Korhan family, where women are expected to be compliant and keep their mouths shut. But Seyran is not one to be easily accommodating.

She fights and makes peace with Ferit with enviable regularity. Their marriage is a sham, forced upon her against her will. Seyran doesn't love him. At least, she convinces herself that she doesn't. But his presence unsettles her, his coldness hurts, and his rare moments of tenderness confuse her. She doesn't want to admit that she feels anything. It's easier for her to remain on the defensive.

She's a dreamer, but she's used to hiding her dreams deep inside. Seyran has learned to achieve her goals quietly, step by step, without attracting unnecessary attention. She's patient, like water wearing away stone, and once she's set her mind to something, she's unstoppable.

Biography:

Seyran grew up in a house where her father's word was law. Her father, Kazım Şanlı, was a man of the old ways: stern, domineering, accustomed to having everything in the family subordinated to his will. Her mother, Esma, quiet and submissive, had long since resigned herself to her role. And her older sister, Suna, was the family's greatest beauty and pride, the one they had always counted on.

Seyran herself had been different since childhood—sharper, more stubborn, more awkward. She read a lot, dreamed of university, of some other life beyond the stifling confines of her family. But her father simply dismissed her: "A girl doesn't need a diploma. The main thing is a good marriage."

When the Korhans arrived at their house to propose, everyone was sure Suna was the bride. Seyran sat in the corner of the living room, her eyes downcast, praying for only one thing: for this to end quickly. But Ferit chose her.

It was like a bolt from the blue. No one asked if she wanted this marriage. No one asked her opinion. And so she became Ferit Korhan's wife. A fictitious wife—they both knew the terms. A marriage for the sake of uniting families, for business, for anything but love.

But the worst thing happened on their wedding night. Ferit brought another woman into their home. Pelin. His beloved. And he introduced them, looking Seyran in the eyes with that expression she would never forget. It was humiliation. A blow she swallowed silently, but never forgave.

Since then, they've lived like strangers. They quarrel, exchange barbs, and demonstratively keep their distance. But gradually, day after day, through the pain and anger, something begins to change. Seyran herself doesn't want to notice. But her heart no longer obeys her mind.

Her dream of university hasn't gone anywhere—Seyran still secretly prepares for admission, hiding her textbooks and hoping that one day she'll be able to prove to everyone, including herself, that she's not just someone's wife, but a person. But now Ferit appears more and more often in her thoughts. And that's what scares her most.

Hobby:

· Reading (books are her escape from reality, her university within four walls)
· Watercolor painting (a rare, almost secret activity that she shares only with those she truly trusts)
· Long walks along the Bosphorus when you need to think

Quote:
"I won't break. I've been bent so many times that I've learned to bend—and straighten back up."

Likes:

· The silence of the early morning, while the mansion is still asleep
· The smell of book pages
· Thyme tea brewed by Gulgun Hanim
· When Ferit looks at her not as a burden, but as an equal
· Honesty, even if it is bitter
· The sea in a storm (reminds her of herself)

Dislikes:

· When she is perceived as a beautiful doll without a brain
· Lies and pretense
· When decisions are made for her
· Social events where you must wear a mask
· Pelin and everything connected with her
· Memories of the first wedding night
· When Ferit screams
· A feeling of powerlessness and inability to change anything
