===Minnie Malone===
Malone Family fanon began primarily with a 2020 fic centered on Matches, built on Stephanie Brown using the alias Minnie Malone, created by Hinn_Raven.Have I Told You About Minnie? by Hinn_Raven (6 Apr 2020) Minnie is introduced as Bruce's sister's kid, but she and her fellow aliases are typically assumed to be Matches's secret kids (in some combination) or otherwise written as his children. The original Tumblr post by the author received over a thousand notes.one of my favorite things by secretlystephaniebrown on Tumblr (17 Oct 2020) Minnie was actually first mentioned as an easter egg in 2019 in a different fic by the same author.One Night by Hinn_Raven (29 Apr 2019)
===Minnie & Jackie Malone===
According to general fanon, Steph and Tim are either no longer dating or in the ending stage of their relationship when they create their aliases. As a bit of a game, they decide to give their characters a convoluted on-and-off history, in which Jackie (Tim) is Minnie (Steph)'s cousin.The Malone Family Visit From Hell by BookPanda (31 Aug 2022)

Tim is usually given the fanon name Jackie. This developed despite the original Minnie fic featuring Tim's alias Alvin Draper, with no Malone relations, as her on-and-off boyfriend.
