Apranik was the **7th-century Sasanian Persian general** — daughter of Piran, a Sasanian commander. **She led Persian troops against the Arab conquest** following the fall of Yazdegerd III (the last Sasanian Shah), refusing to convert to Islam and continuing guerrilla resistance in the mountains. **Symbol of female resistance in Iranian-Zoroastrian tradition.**
Featured in modern Persian-Zoroastrian literature.
Apranik reduces to one — the number of Sasanian resistance.
