**Malaria-Sama**, also referred to as her unofficial name **Maria**, is a major character in the Ebola-Chan universe and a close friend of Ebola-Chan. Malaria-Sama is, after Marburg the second most popular character in the Ebola-Chan universe that isn't Ebola herself. She was designed back in August-September 2014 during the debut of Maple-Mocha's most popular if not his most popular artwork displaying Ebola-Chan, Malaria-Sama and AID-San together when Maple-Mocha was designing disease girls.

Unlike her friends, Malaria isn't a virus. Instead, she is a protozoan. Her friendship with Ebola-Chan and AID-San proves that despite not being of the same kind, viruses are completely fine with befriending diseases that are not classified as viruses. It also proves that viruses are not the only ones capable of growing their disease out in their hair, as Malaria as well has her plague grown at the very ends of her hair. Her unique identity is further emphasized by the mosquito wings on her head.

While Malaria's debute art established a strong baseline design for her, it did not counteract the irregularities in further designs due to the rather complex nature of her dress. As such, her dress design is almost always different in each artstyle and rarely matching the original. It is therefore considered that most of her dresses are simply part of her larger wardrobe rather than that she continuously wears the same dress.

## Personality

Malaria's personality is as cheerful as her friends but with a tint of royalty thrown into the mix. She appears much more modest while keeping her positive outlook that Ebola-Chan and AID-San also have. Despite being influenced by a royal theme, she does not mention it nor let it impact her friendships in case someone doesn't have some sort of modesty themselves.

While this is the baseline for Malaria's personality, Ask-Ebola-Chan's Malaria-Sama is noticably more grumpy and irritated rather than cheerful and positive. While still friends with Ebola-Chan, Malaria-Sama seems to be fed up of getting tied up into shenanigans that Ebola-Chan brings to her. This makes the only abnormality in Malaria's personality across all artists that have drawn Malaria-Sama.

## Appearance

There are two 'canon' appearances of Malaria as Maple-Mocha, her original designer, had changes her design slightly when adapting their new artstyle.

### Debut Design

Between the two designs, Malaria's debut design is more complex. She has a dark purple dress held closed around her waist by a red band with red ribbons on it. At the bottom of her dark purple dress is the sigil of Ebola visible, which despite not being Malaria's sigil, is still a part of her design. Below her dark purple dress is a white dress with a purplish tint to it. This dress has flaps at the ends of her arm holes, her collar and the very bottom of the dress that reaches out to the floor. In the middle of the bottom of the dress goes a line around the dress. From this line, more flaps are visible going up while from the line downwards, flaps cover the entire rest of her dress. Her eyes and hair are coloured purple while two mosquito wings constructed as a bow rests on top of her hair. Malaria, similar to Ebola, also has long hairs extending downwards. Unlike Ebola however, every string of hair individually isn't as big as Ebola's, which results her having thinner but more parts of her hair turn into Malaria at the very ends of it.

### Reworked Design

Malaria's reworked design came during the time Maple-Mocha redid their artstyle. While both designs are canon to Malaria-Sama, the Rewoked Design is notacibly simpler than the Debut Design. While her hair and eyes are the same purple with the same mosquito wings acting as a bow on her head, there are less hair strings that expand into Malaria visible than in her debut design. It is very likely that the missing hair strings with Malaria are located behind her head and back, making them invisible from this perspective. The dress worn in her Rework Design is purple like the original, but acts more like the white with purple tinted dress in her debut design. Below the purple dress is a red dress that works likewise, also containing a red lines with flaps originating from that line upwards as well as downwards. This dress also reaches down to the floor. Malaria has a red band around her waist, albeit much tighter and without red ribbons. This dress notably does not cover her shoulders and arms. A red band around her neck has been added compared to the debut design that also reaches over her shoulders.

## Gameplay

### Virusu Shoujo

Malaria-Sama was noticably absent from the 2014 Visual Novel Virusu Shoujo.

### Super Filovirus Sisters

Malaria makes an appearance in Super Filovirus Sisters, looking out for her friends and supporting Lloviu, Marburg and Ebola in their quest to find a new source of energy. She can provide Lloviu with her fan before Joki takes her to the Land of the Dead.

## Trivia

* Despite the date being unknown, Malaria-Sama shares a debut date with AID-San.
* She is the tallest between her friends.

1. ↑ Malaria-Sama's first design was created by Maple-Mocha, but Tumblr post dates cannot be retrieved from deleted accounts. Instead, it has to be done through reblogs which are always inaccurate with the original post time. Despite this, numerous reblogs indicate 7 October 2014 is the date. This is however not the oldest known date this image existed as the Windows 7-tan Facebook page uploaded it earlier despite not being the artist.
