It was a tale of two sisters...

Francesca Fortuna

Zevki Sultan

"I was born Francesca Fortuna, princess of the Spanish Empire, the embodiment of the Catholic spirit. But alas, God showed me that it wasn't my fate, but instead I was to become an Ottoman Sultana, the Sultana of all Sultanas. If my sister stands in my way, I will eliminate her as well, for she is no longer one of my family. In Topkapi, you stand alone. We are all enemies in a foreign land."

Isabella Fortuna

Princess Bedr

"I am Isabella Fortuna, the twin sister of Francesca Fortuna. Though we are twins, we are nothing alike. I am no people pleasing, wannabe-glamourous trickster- I am a Spanish Princess, and I aim to act as such. I don't get why Francesca -that is, Zevki- is making such a big deal of that ugly Sultan. But oh well, I'll indulge in this little game for a while.

Alexandra La Rossa

Hürrem Sultan

"Argh, it's always the Spanish or the Italians, isn't it? The Ruthenians never get a chance at the spotlight. Süleyman adored me before Francesca came, and it got worse with Isabella as well- she's quite the haughty witch. If I thought Mahi-devil and Hati-b*tch were bad, these ones take the cake! At least valide is kind of sick of the drama."

Sultan Süleyman

"I am Sultan Süleyman, the Sultan of the world. I also go by Muhibbi when writing my poetry. I have this to say when discussing the world of the past, present, and future: The people think of wealth and power as the greatest fate, But in this world a spell of health is the best state. What men call sovereignty is a worldly strife and constant war; Worship of God is the highest throne, the happiest of all estates."

Valide Hafsa Sultan

"I, as any loving mother would, support my wonderful son Sultan Süleyman. I used to always support Mahidevran, but I realized she was stupid and wouldn't amount to much. Only Mustafa saves her now. Hürrem had enchanted him with some magic, but thanks to Allah almighty, Francesca Fortuna saved him. I fully support Francesca, now Zevki Sultan of course, in her plight of the harem."

Mahidevran Hatun

"I feel...Betrayed. But I have honestly given up on Sultan Süleyman. Now I must focus on securing Mustafa's accession to the throne."

Mihrimah Sultan

"I will never respect you after the impact you caused on my father, so bad as to send my mother to a distant province- banishment. I promise you Zevki, I will be your bane and InshAllah your end. Never forgive, never forget."

Raziye Sultan

"Uhm...Mustafa can explain to you! I just can't wrap my head around what has been happening over the past few months between us."

Naime Ayse Sultan

"I am Naime Ayse Sultan. My sister and I will defend our brothers, mother, and our father the Sultan against silly people like Hürrem, Mihrimah, and the others. Know that forever."

Sehzade Mustafa

"Tell me, how can I have an affair with my own half sister? This is forbidden, but we can't hide it for much longer. We have different mothers but the same father, and I know my mother is stressing out because Zevki Sultan may reveal it. But it of course concerns her own daughter, and besides that she is a very compassionate woman. One of the better favorites of my father. If Hürrem finds out, then me, my mother, Raziye, and Zevki will be burnt toast."

Sehzade Murad

"I fight not just for the cause of my mother Zevki, but for the needs of the dynasty. I do not support brutality and injustice, but rather advocate for equality and safeguarding of our beloved Ottoman Empire. Those who oppose us are advocating for the likes of the Devil."

Sehzade Selim

"Who... where... When... whuh?"

Sehzade Fahir

"I presume you already met my drunk half brother bastard Selim? Well know, I am nothing like him. I am like my better brothers, Murad, Mehmet, and Mustafa, and just like my full brother Murad, I fight for justice."

All characters are from Magnificent Century, and it's sequel Kösem. I don't own the rights to them, except for my own characters, such as (but not limited to) Zevki and Raziye, Sehzade Fahir, and the altered version of Sehzade Murad. Enjoy reading!
