==Appearances==
===War===
Babarina Malkia made her first appearance in "Blood for Blood" when the foxes launched a siege of the Phantish capital in 721. Though intense battles occurred in the marshes surrounding the fortified castle, the defenders eventually had to retreat behind the castle walls and withstand a siege. The Siege of the Castle in the Marshes lasted from April 721 to January 722, and starved nearly all the castle's occupants, including Babar Waarheid. Malkia broke the news of her husband's death to her twin sons, Nguvu Tatum and Jasiri Tatum. The elder, Nguvu, succeeded his father as Babar.
Malkia died in the second siege of the Castle in the Marshes, sometime in the year 724. 
==Character==
===Namesake===
The title of Babarina is based on the Tsarina of Russia. 
Malkia is the Swahili word for "queen."
==Trivia==
*Malkia was designed to be a main character alongside her husband, but a greater role could not be fit into the series.
*Despite only appearing once, Malkia is a supporting character and not a guest. This is because she was supposed to appear in "Pro Patria Mori" but her role was cut.
