Hatche is Memed's girlfriend and later his wife. She and Memed are in love from their youth, and she is thoroughly dominated by Memed. Hatche agrees to elope with Memed, accepting his plans without any forethought. To her shock, after the shooting of Abdi and killing of his nephew Veli, Hatche is accused of shooting Veli and thrown into prison. There she becomes friends with the female prisoner, Iraz, and they dream of being free and on a farm with Memed. Hatche remains largely in a fantasy world until Memed actually frees her and Iraz when they are in transit to another prison. Hatche complains of the hardship of life on the run, but stays loyal to Memed. Hatche becomes pregnant and delivers Memed's son. Later, she, Memed and Iraz have to flee their mountain hideout on Alidagh and Hatche is shot to death in a gun battle.
