#iskenderkayabeyli - the only character in Alev Alev that had 3 mottos:
1. at the start: We are a family, we'll protect each other till the end.
2. I listened to the voice of my heart and here I am
3. I chose to become the person people believed I am

The first one was the motto of the Kayabeyli family, often used as an intimidation tactic or to show a false unity in a deeply broken family. Iskender has sought recognition and to feel like an equal part of Kayabeylis. It was his driving force throughout the show. +

Unpopular opinion... Bak, you all know that I adore #iskenderkayabeyli... But I honestly believe it was a plan all along for him to be the culprit. I believe Burcu had enough opportunities to exculpate him if she wanted... But she didn't. I'll probably do a thread about this... Image
