Che Siti Wan Kembang

Che Siti Wan Kembang is the legendary queen regnant over a region in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, which is now encompassed within Kelantan state. She is believed to have ruled in the 16th century. Che Siti was famous for her wisdom. She is descended from the royal lineage of Champa-Kelantan-Pattani. She was known as a warrior princess and was said to be able to enter battle on horseback with a sword with an army of female horse riders. It was said that she and her adopted daughter, Puteri Saadong had mystical powers. A pair of muntjacs — being the queen's favourite pet — is depicted in Kelantan's state emblem to represent her prominence in the state's rich history.
