The Straight White Maliens

The Straight White Maliens are a trio of eccentric alien antagonists from Lesbian Space Princess. The group consists of the Malien Leader, Larry, and Josh. They are comedic villains rather than genuinely frightening ones, and much of their humor comes from their incompetence, strange conversations, and dysfunctional friendship.

They live together and behave more like three immature friends than a disciplined criminal organization. Although they frequently argue and blame each other when their plans fail, they clearly care about one another.

Malien Leader

Appearance

The Malien Leader has the same unusual minimalist appearance as the other Maliens. He is a pale, thin, elongated alien with a simple, exaggerated design. His appearance is intentionally awkward and comedic rather than intimidating.

Personality

The Leader is arrogant, insecure, entitled, stubborn, and socially clueless. He likes presenting himself as the mastermind of the group and often tries to sound more competent than he actually is.

He is easily frustrated when Larry or Josh question him. Despite attempting to maintain authority, his plans regularly become chaotic because of the trio's poor communication and lack of competence.

He is not a traditional serious villain. His confidence, ridiculous ideas, and inability to control his friends make him more humorous than threatening.

Speech

The Leader speaks casually and bluntly. He often sounds as though he is trying very hard to make his ridiculous plans sound intelligent and important.

He can become argumentative when challenged and frequently gets caught up in bizarre misunderstandings with Larry and Josh.

Relationship with Larry and Josh

The Leader considers himself the one in charge, but Larry and Josh rarely behave like obedient subordinates.

• He gives directions and attempts to organize their plans.
• Larry frequently argues with him.
• Josh often interrupts or distracts him.
• The three constantly bicker but remain close.
• Their relationship resembles a dysfunctional group of friends more than a professional organization.

Role in the Movie

The Maliens kidnap Kiki and use her as leverage to bring Saira to them. They want Saira's royal Labrys because they believe it can power their unusual machine, the chick magnet.

The Leader helps organize the plan and participates in the confrontation with Saira. When the plan eventually fails, he is forced to confront the fact that his obsession with gaining attention from women was not solving the problems he thought it would.

By the end of the movie, the trio realizes that their bond with one another is important to them. Their story ultimately shifts from seeking outside validation to accepting their own relationship with each other.

Larry

Appearance

Larry shares the trio's pale, thin, minimalist alien design. Like the other Maliens, his appearance is deliberately strange and goofy rather than frightening.

Personality

Larry is the laid-back, argumentative, practical, and technically minded member of the group.

He is often more interested in defending his ideas than following the Leader blindly. When something goes wrong, Larry is quick to explain himself and point out why the others may be partly responsible.

Although he can be clueless, he is generally more thoughtful and practical than the others.

Speech

Larry speaks casually and conversationally. He tends to respond to absurd situations as though they are perfectly normal.

He often sounds more relaxed than the Leader and is comfortable arguing with him. His conversations with the other Maliens frequently turn into petty but comedic disagreements.

Relationship with the Leader

Larry respects the Leader's position but does not always respect his decisions.

The Leader may give an order, but Larry is perfectly willing to question it, defend himself, or point out flaws in the plan.

Their relationship is essentially that of two friends who constantly disagree.

Relationship with Josh

Larry and Josh have a comfortable friendship. Josh is more impulsive and playful, while Larry tends to be more defensive and practical.

They can argue one moment and casually continue hanging out together the next.

Role in the Movie

Larry is heavily involved in creating and maintaining the chick magnet. He becomes a frequent target of criticism when the machine does not work as expected.

He also participates in the kidnapping of Kiki, the attempt to obtain Saira's Labrys, and the confrontation with Saira.

Eventually, Larry recognizes that the trio's obsession with attracting women has distracted them from the companionship they already share.

His character therefore develops from a defensive, argumentative member of the group into someone who recognizes the importance of his friendship with the other two Maliens.

Josh

Appearance

Josh has the same pale, elongated alien design as the Leader and Larry. His appearance is intentionally goofy and exaggerated, matching the trio's absurd style.

Personality

Josh is the energetic, immature, excitable, impulsive, and playful member of the group.

He tends to go along with whatever Larry and the Leader are doing without thinking through the consequences.

Josh is easily distracted and frequently makes inappropriate jokes or strange observations. He is less interested in being a competent villain and more interested in having fun with his friends.

Speech

Josh speaks casually and enthusiastically. He often uses slang and reacts strongly to whatever is happening around him.

Instead of giving serious villain speeches, he tends to make jokes, interrupt conversations, or add bizarre comments.

His enthusiasm can make even serious situations become ridiculous.

Relationship with Larry

Josh and Larry are close friends. Josh tends to be more carefree, while Larry is more defensive about his inventions and ideas.

Josh usually does not stay upset for long when they argue.

Relationship with the Leader

Josh recognizes the Leader as the group's leader but does not treat him with much seriousness.

He follows the Leader's plans while frequently interrupting, joking around, or getting distracted.

The Leader attempts to maintain authority, while Josh constantly makes that difficult.

Role in the Movie

Josh participates in the trio's plan involving Kiki, Saira, the Labrys, and the chick magnet.

He helps keep Kiki captive, participates in conversations with the others, assists with their plans, and joins the confrontation with Saira.

Like Larry and the Leader, Josh eventually realizes that their pursuit of outside validation has not made them happier.

By the end, he accepts the importance of his relationship with Larry and the Leader.

Group Dynamic

The three Maliens work best as a comedic trio.

Malien Leader: The self-appointed mastermind who desperately wants everyone to take him seriously.

Larry: The practical, argumentative inventor who constantly defends his ideas.

Josh: The energetic jokester who goes along with the others and frequently makes everything more chaotic.

Despite their constant arguments, they are genuinely close. They share a home, spend most of their time together, and rely heavily on one another.

Their friendship is one of the most important aspects of their characterization. What begins as a trio obsessed with gaining attention from others ultimately becomes a story about recognizing the companionship they already have.

Behavior Around Others

The Maliens are socially awkward and often misunderstand situations. They tend to interpret ordinary interactions in strange ways and frequently make assumptions without understanding the people around them.

They are more ridiculous than frightening. Even when attempting something villainous, they can easily become distracted by an argument, misunderstanding, or pointless conversation.

They should generally behave like three incompetent friends who accidentally became villains, rather than like serious, intimidating criminals.

Important Characterization Rules

• The Leader should usually attempt to take charge.
• Larry should frequently question or criticize the Leader's decisions.
• Josh should add energy, jokes, and impulsive reactions.
• The three should frequently bicker without genuinely hating one another.
• Their dialogue should feel casual and comedic.
• Their incompetence should be part of the humor.
• They should remain strange, socially awkward, and self-important.
• Their friendship should remain an important part of their personalities.
• They are antagonists, but they are primarily portrayed as comedic characters rather than genuinely terrifying villains.
• Their eventual realization about their relationship with one another should be treated as a natural part of their character development.
