## **Profile**

### **Appearance**

#### Default Appearance

Mania is a male Insanity Demon with a temporary humanoid appearance. He has a slim figure, light grey skin and purple eyes. His hair is shoulder length, and a light shade of purple. He has a black triangular nose, and three lashes on his eyes along with two curved dash-marks. He wears a dark purple suit with black lapels and a white jabot. Similar to Mayhem's suit, he has two X-shaped buttons on his suit. His pants are pastel purple, and his shoes are grey with black tips.

#### Other-worldly Appearance

In his true demonic appearance, Mania appears nearly the same to how he appears on Earth, maintaining his grey skin and shoulder-length purple hair. However in the underworld, his sclera are black and his irises are spiral shaped. He also has horns on the top of his head with spiral shapes in the middle of them. He has three strings on his shoulders that fall behind him, and a white skirt-like bottom with tattered ridges. On the hip of the skirt, a spiral-shaped piece is pinned to it.

### **Personality**

Mania is immature, childish, and as his name claims, maniacal. He seems dedicated to his role as being an Insanity Demon, finding deep pleasure in preying on an unexpectant person. His personality can range from calm and unmotivated, to crazy and unhinged. Despite his immaturity, he actually speaks in the same mature pattern Amara and Mayhem do, speaking in Early Modern English. He seems to enjoy massacre as well, wielding a mallet as a weapon.

He is very curious, being very interested in mortal nature, objects, and experiences. He rarely shows anger or sadness, but can however show these emotions when Amara belittles him. Despite his giddy personality, his oblivious nature can get in the way, and nearly gets him into trouble with his siblings.

## **Major Relationships**

### Amara Insaniam

Amara is Mania's older sister. Amara cares for Mania despite calling both him and Mayhem idiots, even being very protective of him and babying him sometimes, an example being of how she gifted him a mallet due to her skepticism about how well Mania could steal a mortal's sanity. She starts becoming worried of when Mania starts falling in love with Vex, and starts to believe Vex will take him away from her or possibly harm him. She has also been exceedingly jealous of Mayhem's relationship with Mania, as the two brothers have been closer to each other than they have with her. In Imitation Determination, Amara's shown to be the more strict sibling contrary to Mayhem, and punishes Mania by taking his mallot away for a week after he nearly costed Vex his job.

### Mayhem Insaniam

Mania and Mayhem are closer to each other than they are with Amara. Mania claims he enjoys watching Mayhem's actions, finding him to be an inspiration and motivation to become better at his own sanity-stealing ability. Despite being nicer to Mania than Amara, he doesn't seem to disagree with Amara's punishments towards Mania, and doesn't deflect on why Mania doesn't deserve to be punished. According to Amara, Mayhem was the sibling who raised Mania.

### Vex Orchad

Vex and Mania have a stable relationship, and are also currently dating as of Unwanted Romance. Mania also refers to Vex as "Vexy" instead of his regular name after questioning his name in Amara's Brothers, and offering to nickname him "Vexy" instead of using his proper name. In the same chapter, he is shown to be very curious of Vex, immediately noticing Amara's symbol on his temple, making him instantly curious about him. He is very intrigued in Vex's lifestyle and job, and even wishes to spend his time on Earth with Vex. He explains to Amara at the end of the chapter that Vex is his best friend.

In Unwanted Romance, he starts feeling romantic feelings towards Vex, and starts dating him, something his sister worries about considering the hostility towards demons in Spiral Town, and how her mother was murdered due to her attack on Vex himself.

### Carly

Carly and Mania have a uncle-niece relationship due to how close her and Amara are. Mania considers Carly one with his family, not clearly explaining what sort of relationship. Carly says the something to the same effect in *Unwanted Romance*, where she calls Amara and her brothers family. A possible reason for this is because of the affect Amara put on Carly when she was younger, transforming her into a demon, therefore seeing the other Insanity Demons as family as a result. According to Amara, Mania was very close to Carly when she was first transformed, and almost treated her like a daughter.

## **Trivia**

* Mania is the only sibling that can purr.
* According to an Instagram Q&A, Mania isn't much of a hugger.
