## Overview

Malenia the Severed, commonly refereed to by "Her" title as the Blade of Miquella, was a King of Angels of the Rot Pathway that possessed 2 Characteristics and the Uniqueness. "She" was the daughter of Queen Marika the Eternal and is the twin sister to Miquella the Unalloyed. "She" was born in the Void Lands million of years prior to the 5th Epoch and is one of the 5 foreign King of Angels that fell to Earth in the 2nd Epoch.

According to the doctrine of the Church of Heaven and Golden Order, Malenia is "the Sovereign's determination, 'His' passion, the embodiment of Judgement and stalwart Scion of the Crucible. 'She' has the direct blood of the Sovereign and commands all 'His' forces under 'His' name".

Malenia is regarded as the deadliest of the 5 King of Angels, surpassing even Paragon in combat capability. So great is "Her" prowess, even Gilgamesh is forced to concede to "Her" and "He" has never managed to defeat "Her", even at "His" peak back in the Void Lands. In terms of personality, Malenia is similar to Paragon: "She" does not speak often and operates almost mechanically. Malenia is a callous individual: while "She" does not kill for the sake of it, "She" has no issues with murdering innocents and simply carries out the act with a blank face. "Her" fellow King of Angels have noted Malenia to be "terrifyingly quiet: you wouldn't even know 'She' was behind you until your head went flying".

Malenia is the Commander of the Cleanrot Knights and an Archon in the Golden Order, directly under Miquella. "She" is Miquella's right hand woman and most trusted subordinate, whom Miquella keeps no secrets from. In turn, Malenia is fanatically loyal to Miquella and idolizes "Him" as "Her" God. In the Western Continent, Malenia is seen as the highest authority since Miquella "Himself" often says in isolation. Apart from the few Rot Characteristics in Gilgamesh's possession, Malenia is the sole distributor of "Her" Pathway on Earth.

Malenia was the 4th King of Angels to reach Sequence-0 and was assisted by the other King of Angels. During "Her" advent, "She" devoured the Corruption plaguing Farbauti and Chained God, freeing "Them" from Mother Tree of Desire and making "Them" somewhat allies.

Malenia merged with the others and the Crucible to create Lazarus Asmodeus. Malenia has the weakest personality presence in "Him" but makes up the backbone "His" strength as a Quasi-Pillar.

## Appearance

Malenia is a young woman that looks to be in "Her" mid to late twenties with intense red hair. "She" is very tall (8 feet) and constantly wears "Her" Golden Order garb. "She" has replaced "Her" entire left arm and both legs with golden prosthetics, crafted by Miquella, to ward of the Scarlet Rot. Malenia's other arm is also showing signs of decay, with patches of bark being visible.

Malenia has no eyes, as the Rot claimed them and "Her" torso is similarly under attack from the Rot. Despite the grotesque disfigurement, Malenia possesses an undeniable aura of attractiveness, with no one denying "She" is still beautiful.

## Personality

Malenia has a stunted personality, similar to Paragon. Unlike Paragon however, the source of Malenia's issue is "Her" upbringing rather than "Her" Pathway. Being confined as a child due to "Her" affliction with Scarlet Rot, Malenia never developed and had to learn everything by hand. This has left "Her" cold, isolated and incapable of many human interactions. Malenia is best described as a loyal soldier or officer: "She" never questions orders and always follows them true, but demands equal respect and servitude from those under "Her". "She" also pays no respect to anyone, regardless of standing or achievements, with the only exceptions being "Her" brother and the other 3 King of Angels.

Malenia's most obvious trait is "Her" fanatic loyalty towards Miquella. "Her" loyalty has reached the point where "She" would die a hundred times over for "Him" in an instant. When it comes to fulfilling "His" orders, Malenia is willing to see the world destroyed in the process of carrying it out. Malenia is also possessive of Miquella, and would kill anyone that dares to have improper or unfaithful thoughts/intentions towards "Him".

## History

Malenia was born the older sister to "Her" twin brother Miquella. "Their" mother, Queen Marika, was a Dual Pathway God that possessed the Empyrean, Star and Heaven Authority, while the father was a King of Angels of Rot. Malenia and Miquella's birth was an attempt by Marika to remove additional Beyonder Characteristics within "Her", with Malenia meant to inherit a Sequence 2 Empyrean Characteristic and Miquella a Sequence 1 Heaven Characteristic.

However, the Crucible interfered during the birth of the twins and forcefully ripped a Sequence 1 Empyrean Characteristic from Marika and the Rot Uniqueness from Radagon, killing "Him" in the process. Miquella gained the Empyrean Characteristic while Malenia gained the Rot Uniqueness, with Miquella's original Heaven Characteristic being taken by the Crucible and eventually forged into Trinia Saint-Gold.

The birth of the twins critically weakened Marika, who was no longer the God of the Empyrean Pathway. Missing 3 Characteristics and a Uniqueness from a sole Pathway, Marika could not be classified as a proper Sequence 0 despite having 3 Authorities. This left Marika relying on the Crucible. The loss of an Empyrean Characteristic and the death of Radagon left Marika's reign weakened and rebellion began to brew from other Gods. Malenia automatically became a King of Angels despite being an infant, with the Scarlet Rot developing a type of mutual symbiosis within "Her" for the time being.

During Malenia's childhood, "She" and Miquella were neglected by Marika and kept isolated from everyone else. Malenia was thus raised solely by "Her" maid and never received a proper education and was entirely self-taught. During this period, Malenia and Miquella began to grow close, with Miquella devolving a type of connection to the soul of "His" sister and vice versa. Everything Malenia learnt in "Her" childhood came from Miquella.

## Childhood

As Malenia grew older, the Rot within "Her" began to act out. The Rot slowly claimed Malenia's limbs and sapped "Her" lifeforce continuously, leaving "Her" sickly and crippled. Malenia became unable to walk at the age of 9 and "Her" sense dulled by the age of 12. Just when it seemed death was inevitable, Miquella created Unalloyed Gold from the Crucible, which could stall the Rot and aid Malenia. Miquella personally crafted a prosthetic hand for Malenia when the real one was lost to the Rot.

With the Unalloyed Gold regressing the Rot, Malenia regained "Her" strength and could move about. Furthermore, the Rot had actually improved "Her" body after retreating, causing Malenia to possess monstrous strength despite lacking any active Beyonder powers. Malenia was taken as a disciple by a powerful warrior at some point during this time, who taught "Her" a special Acting Method tor resist the Rot: Sequence 3's Waterfowl Dancing. This Dance stopped the Rot building up and dispersed it.

Unfortunately, the Unalloyed Gold and Waterfowl Dance failed to stop the Rot as Malenia grew and "She" would enter a cycle of weakness and recovery for years to come, with each cycle pushing "Her" closer to death yet also increasing "Her" power in equal measure.

## Teenage years

When Malenia was 15, the Rot within "Her" surged forth and consumed the entire castle "She" stayed in. The Rot consumed all life within the castle, including "Her" maid. Desperate with guilt, Malenia used "her" Beyonder powers actively for the first time and managed to have the maid resurrected via the Crucible. The maid was transformed into a Sequence 2-Millicent and would become Malenia's first fanatic.

Malenia was let out to explore the Void Lands for the first time when "She" turned 18 by Marika. Malenia also engaged in multiple duels, racking up a record as an undefeated champion. Malenia even defeated "Her" siblings, who were far older and stronger in terms of Sequence (Malenia could only use the powers of a Sequence 3 at this point with the Rot Uniqueness sealed).

The Rot claimed Malenia's entire left arm during this time period and began to take "Her" legs too.

## Civil War

While Malenia was exploring the Void Lands and combating "Her" Rot, Miquella had other plans. Realizing that Unalloyed Gold was merely a stop-gag and Malenia would ultimately perish, Miquella sought radical means to save "Her". Eventually, Miquella set "His" eyes on Sequence 0-Empyrean as the best bet. Thus, Miquella sought to overthrow "His" mother and promote to Godhood.

Miquella murdered Marika and caused a Civil War to erupt, with multiple Gods and Marika's own children fighting over the Sovereign Authorities. Malenia fought for "Her" brother as "His" greatest aide, gaining the nickname "Blade of Miquella" for these acts. Malenia murdered multiple of "Her" siblings during the civil war, and became so feared none of the remaining Demigods would meet "Her" on the battlefield-except for one.

Malenia fought "Her" brother Radahn to a standstill, with this Demigod being "Her" only equal. The conflict ended with Radahn's death, but Malenia was left badly injured and began to lose control, being forced from the war. Some time later, Miquella acquired all the Unalloyed Characteristics and the Uniqueness, withdrawing from the war and allowing the remnants to fight for the throne.

"She" met Paragon, Trinia and Gilgamesh after leaving the war, killing the latter over a dozen times before beating "Him" into submission. Eventually, Miquella cured Gilgamesh of "His" madness. The five, realising the Void Monarchs were preparing to invade once again, decided to abandon the Void Lands and retreat to where the two missing Scarlet Aonia Characteristics where-Earth.

The five entered hibernation within the Crucible, which transported "Them" to Earth.
