Maryam Kantrell

Maryam Rafik Kantrell is the mother of Layla and Aden Kantrell and the wife of Abdullah Kantrell. She is an Arabic grammar teacher and taking advanced Arabic grammar study courses. She is bilingual, and sometimes studies English with her kids to get her few grammar mistakes right. She has a master's degree in computer science (taken in Pakistan) and also has taken a diploma course in cosmetology. She is very protective of her children and almost forces them to back out of fighting the Jade Rose, for their own safety. She herself is very brave and faced kidnapping (with her husband) at the hands of Lance Taskinen, but instead of backing down, she took all of the interrogation techniques and refused to tell the kidnappers anything about her children. Also, when she was retrieved, instead of demanding treatment for her own condition, she made Anita treat Layla first.
