Mrs. Pahlavi

Mrs. Pahlavi is the mother to Tea Pahlavi, and her brother, Fox Pahlavi.

Early Life
Not much is known about Mrs. Pahlavi's life, though she was presumably born in Odalia and received his heartsglass at thirteen. She fell in love with her husband, Mr. Pahlavi, and they married. At their wedding, they exchanged their heartsglasses to symbolize their love.

The couple went on to have eight children during twenty years of marriage, the eldest being Fox and the youngest, Tea. Her children family have a vein of magic and two of her eldest daughters became witches: Rose and Lilac. She favored flower names for her daughters until Tea was born, at which point Mrs. Pahlavi decided to change the naming theme.

Later, Fox enrolled in the Odalian army as a soldier. Two years later he was killed by a daeva while patrolling the border. When Tea claimed that Fox was still alive in his grave, her mother was sobbing in her grief. It was then that Fox rose from the grave, and Tea was revealed as a Dark asha.

The Bone Witch
While only appearing at the beginning of The Bone Witch, Mrs. Pahlavi was present when Mykaela of the Hollows arrived to attend to Tea, who had fallen ill. Mykaela informed the two parents that Tea had to be taken to Kion for her safety from the prejudice of the villagers. Her daughter then left, along with the undead Fox.

Shortly after, another of her children, Daisy, passed away.

Personality
Mrs. Pahlavi is said to care deeply about her children, and have high expectations for them - particularly her daughters. She named her daughters after flowers in the expectation that they would be "upstanding young ladies." She stayed at home while her husband worked at the forge, and cared for her middle six children while Fox often cared for Tea.

Physical Description
She and her husband wear each other's heartglasses as a sign of fidelity. Her own heartsglass is described by Tea as "coral tinged and warm, like the hearth" while her husband's is "burned and ruddy, like the endless fires of his forge."
