🍺~Malina~🍺

Appearance: Like the other demons, Malina has fair skin, red, somewhat baggy eyes, and white hair, styled into a messy bob. Moreover, a pair of short black horns emerge from her hair and a forked tail from near her waist, emphasizing her demonic nature. Her mouth is drawn to emphasize her sour personality and attitude, and it is fixed in a perpetual frown.

Malina wears a red button-up shirt with sleeves folded just below her elbows, with a black, buttoned, sleeveless vest over it. Covering her lower half, she wears a black pencil skirt over a set of black pantyhose. She wears a set of 3 thin black bangles on each wrist. While working in Hell, she wears a black tie on her collar, but she removes it (along with loosening her collar) prior to meeting the Helltaker.

Personality: Malina fulfills her title as The Sour Demon well; she is almost always in a grumpy mood, as well as being irritable, and/or aggressive, especially in the presence of her masochistic sister Zdrada. She tends to be among the most, if not the most foul-mouthed of the harem, befitting her tomboyish tendencies.

Malina tends to have a pessimistic view of her own life. In the "Prologue"[1] comic she outright states she hates it. In her own words, the only thing that keeps her sane, are video games, or in particular turn-based strategies, as she holds up a few in the "Prologue" comic. Malina's favorite game is Heroes of Might and Magic III (or Heroes 3 for short).[2] If the Helltaker asks for life advice in Chapter VI, Zdrada comments that Malina gets turned on while playing them. She is shown to be flustered thinking about Heroes 3 in the "Prologue" comic, after Zdrada shares this she's most likely telling the truth.

She has a extreme distaste for masochists, such as her sister. If the dialogue check in Chapter IV is failed, she assumes the Helltaker is one himself and kills him. However, despite her initial dismissive nature of him, she forms a bond over gaming with the Helltaker. When Azazel showed interest in Heroes 3, in the "Turn-Based Strategy Club"[3] comic, Malina and the Helltaker of them show her the basics of the game, becoming quickly impressed with her skill in the "Inferno"[4] comic.

Her interest in gaming also extends to board games, as she's been shown to be playing them twice in canon so far. The first was when she attempted to start a game of Gloomhaven [5] in the comic of the same name. The second was the Heroes 3 board game on the beach with Azazel.[6]

Malina's other passion seems to be alcohol, particularly vodka, as she makes herself a Screwdriver, and later chugs a bottle in the "Prologue" comic. So far, she been shown to be visibly drunk in canon three times, but tends to be shown paired with alcohol more often than not.

While in Hell, Malina's job was a janitor. In the "Prologue" comic she calls her tasks pointless, running way from doing it as much as she can. She appears to be a bit of a messy person herself; given her chosen hairstyle and the state of her desk in the "Songs of Conquest" [7] comic. She gets aggressive when others make a mess in areas she cleans, to the point of making threats. [8] Every time she's shown cleaning, her face has her signature frown or a scowl.[9]
