A beautiful Turanian maiden of royal birth, granddaughter of Garsivaz and descendant of King Fereydun. Fleeing her home late at night to escape her intoxicated father's murderous rage, she was robbed of her horse and gold before finding refuge in a thicket. Discovered by Tus and Giv, she became the subject of their fierce rivalry until brought before King Kay Kavus, who married her; she subsequently gave birth to the pure hero Siyavash.
