Queen Vashti was the Queen of Persia and the first wife of Persian King Xerxes in the Book of Esther, a book included in the Tanakh and read on the Jewish holiday of Purim. She was banished for her refusal to appear at the king's banquet to show her beauty as the king wished, and Esther was chosen to succeed her as queen. In the Midrash, Vashti is described as wicked and vain. She is viewed as an independent-minded heroine in feminist interpretations of the Purim story. She is only seen as a silhouette in the opening scene of the episode.
Vashti is a Hindu name meaning "beautiful", which is fitting, given that in her debut episode she is considered a beautiful woman.
Physical Appearance[]
In the opening scene, Vasthi wore curlers in her her hair and possibly wore nightclothes due to it being nighttime.
