Ishka

Ishka was the wife of Keldar, the mother of Quark and Rom and the grandmother of Nog. She was not a typical Ferengi female and felt the race's attitude to women was wrong. She was a shrewd business person, even better than her husband, and, by the 2370s, had earned quite a lot of money.

The Ferengi Commerce Authority became aware of her profit-earning in late 2371 and Quark was ordered to get her to sign a confession and to give it all away. Quark and Rom managed to get her to confess, but Ishka was able to hide away two thirds of her total fortune. (DS9: "Family Business")
