She is one of six known children of Thutmose and Merytre; her siblings are Pharaoh Amenhotep II, Prince Menkheperre and princesses, Meritamen, the second Meritamen and Iset^[2]. She is depicted together with her sisters and Menkheperre on a statue of their maternal grandmother Hui (now in the British Museum).
