== Charactah Account ==
Mal is the daughter of Maleficent and Hades, the wife of King Ben, and the Queen of the United States of Auradon and the Isle of the Lost. Mal takes charge of carrying out her mother's evil plan to steal the Fairy Godmother's magic wand and enjoys drawing and casting spells.
As the movie progresses, Mal lets go of much of her former fears and goals, becoming in tune with her true self; thus she abandons the hollow life of evil, for a life of good. With friendship and love, Mal ended filling the hole in her that could not be satisfied through what her mother had taught her.

== Trivia ==
* Mal's name means "bad" or "evil" in Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
* Dove Cameron wore a wig during the films. At the beginning of the second film, Dove said in an interview that she was wearing a blonde wig in the beginning of the sequel since Mal had spelled her hair to blonde.
* In the first film when Mal tries to save Ben from drowning, it is revealed that she cannot swim.
* Mal's favorite color is purple, symbolizing power and mystery, which is a recurring theme with her mother Maleficent.
* At the time of the first film, Mal is sixteen years old.
* When Mal feels strong emotions, her eyes tend to glow.
* Mal has the most common sense out of her friends, as she got every answer in Remedial Goodness right by picking the answer that sounded the least fun for villains. She could even guess Remedial Goodness was newly invented for villain kids.
* In the first film, it is revealed that Mal's middle name is "Bertha". In the Spanish version in Latin America, her middle name is "Igna". Maligna is a wordplay for "malign".
* During the first film, whenever Mal is around Ben, her hair seems shorter and lighter.
* The dress Mal wears for Ben's coronation appears to be adaptable.
* In the prequel book, it is revealed Mal had a dream set near the Enchanted Lake, where Ben and Mal eventually go to on their first date.
* The Disney Descendants Yearbook reveals that Mal's "Secret Wish" is to learn how to swim and that her "Not-so-secret Wish" is to have a different middle name.
** It is also revealed that Mal wants to be an artist when she grows up.
** Mal's favorite class is Remedial Goodness 101, stating that she just thinks of what her mom would do and pick the opposite.
** Mal's "Go-To Object" at the museum is her mother's magic spinning wheel, stating that even though it is "boring-looking," it is spooky that a few pieces of wood could put someone to sleep for a hundred years.
* In early concept designs of her outfits, Mal was originally meant to have short hair.
* In Descendants: Wicked World, Mal is shown to be a skilled painter, as she has painted Audrey in her mother's signature dress.
* In Descendants 2, it is revealed Mal is able to transform into a dragon like her mother.
* By the end of Rise of the Isle of the Lost, Evie and Mal considered handing over the magic mirror and the spell book, respectively, to the museum, except it seems only Evie gave up her magic mirror as Mal thought against giving up her spell book. It was not until the end of Descendants 2 where Mal officially gives up her spell book to the museum.
* Despite having green eyes like her mother, Mal's doll forms for the first two movies show her having hazel-brownish eyes, while Wicked World depicts her with grey eyes.
* Mal is the only VK with two known parents.
