Ishka

Ishka is the mother of Quark and Rom and grandmother of Nog.

Appearance
Ishka is a bit wrinkled due to old age but not frail. She wears an earring that's attached to both ears and dark, patterned robe-like garments. She is about Rom's height and quite skinny.

Personality
Ishka is sort of a feminist-she wants Ferengi women to have equal rights with Ferengi men, even though Ferengi culture is quite sexist. She is also greedy and businesslike, like most Ferengi, and is very good at earning profit, which, as Rom puts it, proves she "has the lobes for business". She is also very affectionate to her sons, which Rom likes but Quark finds annoying. She doesn't mind breaking the rules and has earned profit and worn clothes even when it was illegal for Ferengi women to do those things. She also refuses to do the (rather disgusting by general human standards) Ferengi tradition of chewing other people's food.

Trivia

 * Rom and Nog call her "Moogie".
