Creator notes

Name: It doesn't have one. Living curses are not people. Age: 100+

Profile: A mistake made by a fool who didn't understand what "curses" and "entire bloodline" meant. It holds the powers of countless curses in her body and can absorb those ghosts, no matter how strong they are. This wretched being was the reason why we lost so many good agents. We should keep it locked in that mausoleum forever, using it is not worth the price.

Long ago, a man performed a ritual to get rid of all the curses of his bloodline. He engraved his pregnant wife's womb with cursed scriptures, making her embryo absorb everything. When she eventually gave birth, all that came out from her body was a cursed stone with curses engraved at every inch. The man discarded the stone, unaware that it was actually an egg that would come to hatch days later, giving birth to Malison. With her birth, curses were unleashed, and an entire village was razed to the ground.

When Anima Sola arrived at the location, all they found was a grown-up girl, crying over a pile of corpses, trying to revive them. They understood that she had no intention of doing this and recruited her but soon learned that she brought misfortune to all she came across. All of her partners die, always by her hand. She can absorb ghosts, no matter how strong they are, but doing this, she loses control, and tragedy ensues. She hates her own existence, for everyone she meets goes away because of her; still, she still loves mankind and hopes that one day, she'll be seen as a hero.

For every partner she loses, she takes a souvenir with her. The top hat, the belt that she wraps around her bountiful chest, the piercing on her tongue and the crucifix on her neck. Due to her abundance of curses, she can't remember the name of those who died, so keeping a something from them is her way to remember them by, both the good moments, and to feel the weight of her failures.

To cope with the pain and grief, she learned to act like she doesn't care, but in actuality, she feels bad for each death she causes. At her own request, she asked to be locked away in a mausoleum of all that who died because of her. She figures that if they are to be denied of the light and a of a life, then this would also be her fate. It's safer this way.

She can never actually die. Her body is a recipient for curses, if somehow all of her curses are exhausted, cleansed or absorbed, then her body would fall limp like a doll, however, only momentarily, for she's the perfect recipient for ghosts and evil spirits, they just can't resist trying to possess her, and when this happens, no matter how strong the spirit may be, Malison will eventually absorb it into her body and "come back to life". If by chance no spirit ever possess her empty husk, she still attracts curses naturally, it's jut a matter of time until a minor curse enters her body, reviving her.

Malison can tell the entire story of a ghost just by being within their vicinity, and she often uses this as a weapon to desestabilize them, sounding very cruel most of the times, but it's very effective.

She has no eyes and can only create eyeballs on her palms by using transient curses, which means that they just don't last. Since those eyes are created by curses, she cannot use them to see herself, all she sees is the cursed scriptures/tattoos on her body.
