The Grishaverse

Akeni Kir-Taban was the daughter of Jhem Kir-Taban and the niece and heir of Queen Makhi Kir-Taban. She was killed by the blight in Ahmrat Jen.

Biography[]

Even though she was not the oldest girl of the Taban family, Queen Makhi named Akeni her heir if Makhi failed to conceive daughters with her consorts.

One day, Akeni was playing in the garden of the palace in Ahmrat Jen with a gardener's boy. Makhi asked her to retrieve a yellow plum, so Akeni climbed a tree. The blight came, covering the orchards, killing the trees and land. Makhi shouted for Akeni to climb down and run away, but Akeni could not see the danger and the guards could not move fast enough. The blight killed Akeni and her playmate.

Personality and traits[]

Akeni was intelligent, able to devise a plan to reach plums from high in the trees. Minister Yerwei considered her to be a "good child," but "too biddable to make a good queen," but Makhi thought Akeni was "clearly the brightest" of the Taban girls.[1]
