Bibi al-Abbas is the wife of Jid al-Abbas, the mother of Ayesha al-Abbas, and maternal grandmother of Samirah al-Abbas.
History[]
Bibi and her husband were born in Iraq and immigrated to America when Saddam Hussein took power. They had a daughter named Ayesha who became a doctor, but she was rebellious and Bibi and her husband worried about her. They eventually became grandparents with the birth of their granddaughter Samirah (via Ayesha's romance with Loki) and took her in after Ayesha died. Bibi and her husband arranged a marriage between their granddaughter and Amir Fadlan.
