Şivekar Sultan was morbidly obese. In 1646, Ibrahim appointed his servants to look for the "fattest woman" in Ḳosṭanṭīnīye. Upon this order, they started to search for palace officials and eventually found an Armenian woman in Üsküdar. Maria became his consort and he gave her the name Şivekar, meaning "flirty". She was the given the title of Seventh Haseki. She had a good relation with Cinci Hoca Pasha and later with the Eight Haseki Hümaşah Sultan.
