History


Date of Birth: August 30th, 1985
Home: Triana, Seville, Andalusia, Spain
Family: Juan Carlos and Valeria Maytin (parents), Bruno (younger brother)
Chrysalis: Preordainment (the Fingires kumpania roamed Andalusia for many years, focused around Seville, where Malina learned how to dance the flamenco and other classical dances; her brother suffered from severe mental handicap, and she often looked after him while her parents worked; when the 2nd Resurgence came, so returned House Keshalyi, and many such Sidhe souls searched Spanish Roma and Urmen-related caravans for suitable hosts; she was taken during Christmas Mass), 1999
Mentor: Baro Mander Eldon ap Keshalyi
The Test: Trial by Wit (high-ranking Keshalyi nobles also arrived, and helped organize all new Chrysalids to avoid persecution by established Kithain; Baro Mander oversaw her and other lesser vassals’ training, which included a great deal of obfuscation and tricks on how to avoid or mislead gaje authorities of all sorts, until she earned her place back among the Sidhe with the Keshalyi Naming ceremony)
Comrades: Shannon Ransford, Karen Edwards, Regina Attenberry
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (for the first several years of life among her fellow Keshalyi, all seemed tranquil; she developed her Arts, helped the fae stay bonded to each other, re-united lost souls, and presented herself as one of the most generous spirits in Seville)
Key Event #2: Personal Tragedy (her brother, though no fae, was still Roma and had since grown up, too, but he was still severely handicapped and he grew more and more frustrated and miserable in life; one day, he fell upon a gaje woman and raped and murdered her; distraught, he told Malina, who chose family over justice, and helped him discard the body and hide the crime)
Transition: Loss of Companions (but the guilt of aiding and abetting her brother’s terrible crime haunted her immensely, and finally she had to write him off, compelling him to return their parents forever more; that was when Queen Serena began whispering in her ear, offering her a new lease on life, with souls that needed care and guidance from Malina’s wisdom, and were a long way from her brother and his crime; after consulting the omens through her own Arts, she agreed, and moved to America for this Ensemble)

Significant Others


The Shanghaied Ensemble of Royalty is a massive collective of "fairy princesses" to which she blithely and merrily belongs. Visit this link for the full skinny:

Weakness
Gitana Girl


Though Malina has much she can and is willing to share, many are not willing to receive, turned away from a deeply-embedded bigotry against her Romani people.

Likelihood of Corruption


Very low.

Though she has made a terrible mistake once, she is a saintly person and takes all precautions to avoid marhime.
