Emine Aliyev

Emine Aliyev is a minor character in the Toxic Soviets Comic Series. She is the mother of Heydar Aliyev and his 11 older siblings and the wife of Abuzkhar Aliyev. Emine is a low-class shepherd who pressures her children to succeed in the world and become economically self sufficient as soon as possible. This would lead to the eventual arrival of Heydar to the Soviet Union, and the beginning of his journey.
== Backstory ==
Not much is known about Emine other than that she came from a nomadic family of shepherds in Central Anatolia. She eventually married Abuzkhar Aliyev and had 12 children, with Heydar being the youngest of them. Emine and her husband pressured their children to leave their home and become successful in the world through their businesses, with the purpose of becoming economically self-sufficient immediately. 
Her children would end up succeeding and they would fulfil her wish with the exception of Heydar, who had just reached adulthood and instead of working, preferred to journal and write all day. Due to him not being fit for rural work, they forced him out of their home to work on more urban skills in the real world as the route to his success.
== Toxic Soviets Events ==
=== Volume 1: The Beginning ===
Emine only appears in a flashback scene, where she and her husband are seen forcing Heydar out of their home to make a name for himself in the real world now that he reached adulthood. Despite Heydar’s cries, she and Abuzkhar insisted that he would leave and left him some gold and a batch of carpets to work with. The now tearful Heydar would come across an advertisement for the USSR, marking the start of his journey.
=== Volume 4: Noreaga’s Dungeon ===
Though she does not appear here, Emine is mentioned by Heydar when he cries to Joseph and Grill about missing his mother’s homemade kebab.
== Personality ==
Emine is demanding and forces her children to make names for themselves in the real world, but, like her husband, she has good intentions in her decision. Ultimately, she wants to reach economic self sufficiency as soon as possible and make sure that her children live better lives under better conditions, being necessarily strict to bring on a better future for her family. It is also implied in Volume 4 that she is a great cook and generally very caring, leaving Heydar in tears after he remembered her and her cooking.
