One tale says that this girl ran away from the landlord, who wished to marry her, and decided to hide in the cave. Yet another tale says that she was left by the Old People to guard their treasures. She was also viewed as either their queen or the elder's daughter. In some stories, a spirit lives in the mountain with her and it scares all people away. People were afraid to come close to Mount Azov and even ride next to it, because they believed that Azovka can enchant a person so that he gets lost. In many folktales, the Mistress of the Copper Mountain and Azovka are identical with each other. The Mistress might have appeared as a successor of Azovka, because she was most famous in the same areas as Azovka before her.
