Phulan enjoys being indoors and doing housework, and her life centers on her upcoming marriage to her cousin, Hamir.
Mama -
Shabanu and Phulan's mother. she is beautiful, strong, and gentle. She raises her two daughters lovingly and with joy. Mama loves life in the desert as well. She is a wise woman who understands the constraints and challenges of the world in which she lives and bears up under those constraints gracefully.
