The loss of her sister deeply affected Maryam, and her character transformed immensely. Previously being a vivacious girl, she was now lethargic, sitting at one place doing nothing.

She laughed at the memory of her elder sister, whom everyone had loved because she was down-to-earth and not haughty.
