Mawardah, an orphan raised by her aunt. She manages her family's batik business in Terengganu. Since childhood, Mawar has been good friends with Adi, the owner of a café, and considers Adi like her own brother. Amar, a young man from Kuala Lumpur, is also in Terengganu handling a construction project belonging to his father's company, Dato Hashim. In one incident, Amar's car hits Mawar's car and from that event onwards they begin to be friends. The meeting plants the seed of love in Amar's heart for Mawardah. However, before love can be expressed, Mawardah is married to Hakim, the son of a close friend of Mawardah's late mother, without realizing that this man is Amar's biological brother. The marriage disappoints Amar and he then leaves for a neighbouring country. In fact, Mawardah was never informed that Hakim already had a previous wife, Fatin. Hakim and Fatin's marriage abroad was opposed by Hakim's family.

Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.
