APPEARANCE
Appearance & reputation: She comes across as calm, intelligent and assertive in a proud and static manner. Her reputation is rather dynamic: you like her, or you don't. The better you know her, the more funny and easy-going she actually is (at the point you start to understand she is very sarcastic). Malta is quite social, but she can have a strong opinion and is often very straight to the point, honest and direct.
Shoulder height: 1.55 m
Physical description
Body: angular body for a sideress, but not masculine. Straight lynx like back. Tail is average in length and U-shaped, carried just high enough that the fur doesn’t touch the ground. She carries her head very high. Her neck is straight, quite long and a bit thin. Also her fingers and toes are long and thin.
Head: flat, rather small and high places cheekbones. Her deep green eyes are positioned a bit higher than average and typically slanting. ‘Eyebrows’ are not very prominent. Her muzzle is rather narrow and triangular shaped and average in length. Profile has a clearly visible ‘stop’. Highly and forwards placed straight ears that a slightly larger than average.
Fur: shiny black with very faint ghost-markings like 'black panthers' have. Very longhaired, with rather thin hair that falls straight down. Very long hair on the neck, chest belly and tail. She has some longer hair on the backside of her hind legs (‘pants’).
Jewellery & accessories: In her left ear she has a row of four silver rings, in her right ear she has two silver rings and two silver stubs. Her bracelet is a silver snake with emerald green eyes that is wrapped around her lower arm (left front). Sometimes she wears a spiral-shaped silver snake with emerald eyes around her hind leg as well.
PERSONALITY & CHARACTER
Personality and mannerisms:
MBTI personality type: ISTJ -A
She can be a bit overwhelming, especially when she has an opinion about something and she holds tightly on to it. She is not afraid to tell the truth, and doesn’t hold back when she knows that something might hit a nerve. Usually she’s subtle and friendly, but she can hit hard with her brutal honesty (straightforward). She is perfectly aware of what to say in what situation, but she will not withhold her opinion just to be nice or careful with others. Not accepting sour heads and whiners.
She is not dominating over others, but Malta can be dominant in behaviour when it concerns something important to her. She can be very decisive and takes on a leader (or teacher) role quickly and effortlessly when needed. Contrary to the first impression of most will have of her (cold, insensitive), she is quite social, is sympathetic and has a good understanding of others’ feelings and motivations. When the situation is really serious, she is ive and empathic, but in regular situations she doesn’t really tolerate soreheads and mawkish people. She also doesn’t like criminal-minded people, although she usually doesn’t say anything about that (unless she’s the victim – bad choice there).
The character Camina Drummer from the TV show ‘the Expanse’ correlates quite strongly of Malta, who was described as “tough and courageous, but with brains and vulnerability”. That description would fit Malta as well.
Her personal quote would be: “Honesty has a power that very few can handle.”
Type of humour: Strange sense of humour, mainly sarcastic and ironic (sometimes too sarcastic for others to understand). She can be jesting a little, with a wink.
Voice and manner of speaking:
Stern voice, low under tone in an otherwise rather average voice. She speaks calmly but is very present (mainly due to her voice, not her behaviour). No complicated words; rather straight forward. Sarcastic or ironic word use, sometimes ambiguous .
Best available voice reference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCG4DeXIUGo 0:08–0:24; 0:33–0:50; 1:01–1:17; (not the screamy parts!)
Another that comes close: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFtKFOY1kTU
Again, character Camina Drummer from the TV show the Expanse represents Malta’s way of talking well.
Sexuality: heterosexual
Spirituality and philosophy: her most important value is (brutal) honesty. She is very earthbound, but is open-minded for spirituality.
Fears: She has claustrophobia
Dreams: To finish her medicinal and toxic plants encyclopaedia, which describes anatomy and geographic distribution and the interaction of substances with the animal body and cellular processes.
Interest, hobbies, occupation: Malta has a curious interest in snakes, that she probably got from her father (Fannar). This interest in snakes is mainly aesthetical, such as her bracelet, but she also appreciates their slithering reputation and the fact that some are highly venomous.
She has done quite some scientific research on herbalism, which means that she is studying which plants have what kind of medicinal effect (you could say that she is a professor in herbalism). Herbal medicines focus on the use of plant derivatives or metabolites to help the healing processes of the body. Malta is also interested in the toxic metabolites of plants, and at some point she will use that knowledge (against humans). She’s working on a sort of medicinal plant encyclopaedia, which will be used by Yava and her team of healers later on (Malta is also an important part of this team).
Besides her research interest, she also likes to have her own complete collection of dried herbs. She even started growing some medicinal plants, making a sort of botanic garden of her territory with carefully grown plants in suitable spots (which led to the joke ‘in Malta’s plants’ in the paper game).
Special skills: Herbalism, gardening and even a bit of chemistry (extracting useful substances from plants). That makes her quite a master in anaesthetics, when she works as a healer in the Fjordland Force.
STORY
Malta was born on the Island of Ice and Fire (tIceF), near the siderian metacluster Boiling Bay. Her family had a bit of a turbulent background. Her father (Fannar) was working for some siderians who traded and experimented with dangerous ecals, while her mother (Sivana) was involved in coordinating the metacluster and was actually opposing these dangerous activities. There was quite some tension between the two, but eventually Fannar got mostly out of this business. When things calmed down and Fannar and Sivana actually got to know each other better, they formed a bond and even got two cubs (Malta and Ragna; they were never really exposed to Fannar’s history).
Malta’s childhood was rather calm, despite her highly flammable sister. During her teenage to adolescent years, she developed a strong interest in plants and the use of plant metabolites for healing- or defense purposes. The Island of Ice and Fire is a place rich of rare and powerful ecals, but plant-life is a little poor there; and so was social life for siderians. So in her twenties, Malta decided to leave and travelled to the Fjordlands (Norway) where there was much more to do. She explored the lands around the metacluster MistFjord and while she was hunting on unfamiliar territories, she got spotted by Axel Sætansen. He had a crush on her immediately (her green eyes captured him) and eventually, that became mutual (thanks to Axel’s insistent courting and flattering).
Malta may have heard stories about the ancient Sætansen dynasty but only now, she got to meet them for real. The current Sætansen family-head, Matthias, accepted her in and she settled on their gigantic territory. She quickly made friends with Mara, the mate of Axel’s brother. The relation with Axel was a little turbulent, since Axel still spent much time patrolling the land with his brother (Morten) and doing things for his father. A few years after Malta and Axel met, their son Ravn was born. But there were increasing dangers from both neighbouring siderians and a growing human village not far from the metacluster. Especially when Mara’s daughter died in a snare-trap, Malta felt like leaving the dangerous territories of Axel and his family. She was already pregnant of another cub and decided to go to her safer homelands, where she gave birth to Yava. Axel stayed behind and their relation had nearly fallen into jeopardy.
After a few years with little Yava and Ravn on tIcef , Malta and Axel came to again. The situation around the Sætansen lands had calmed down and Matthias had made sure that there was no danger of humans on the lands anymore. Malta wanted to raise Yava in the surroundings of MistFjord where she could meet other cubs, so she travelled back and settled on the Sætansen lands again. There, Malta spent much time together with Mara, thereby giving Yava and Ravn the chance to play with their similar aged cousins Goran and Stian. Meanwhile, Malta continued to develop her plant-knowledge and had become a skilled healer, specialized in herbal medicines, anaesthetics and a little bit on neurotoxins.
Turbulence was still not far from home when Stian (Yava’s cousin) disappeared and got abused by humans. Yava had a difficult time processing Stian’s change of behaviour after he was saved and had come back. Malta was of full to her daughter. When Stian disappeared again in his early twenties, Yava turned again to her mother for mental for the many years to come. Stian hadn’t come back and in the meantime, humans had become a threat again. In that time, several siderians got shot, poisoned or ended up in snares. Even Malta got shot, but she survived the wound. After a long period of recovery, she came back to full function again, also thanks to her extensive knowledge of herbalism.
Many years of tension had ed when Yava finally brought the news that Stian was found and still alive. Malta urged Yava to go to him and thereby see more of the world. Just a few years later, she came back together with Stian, Goran and a few other siderians, one of them being Yava’s new mate Falkner. As soon as they were back, Stian established the Fjordland Force to start an organized fight against the invading humans. Malta ed the force and became one of the chief healers. She taught Yava her medicinal skills and had become a central person in the healing department. Over the years, she ed on her knowledge to many other siderians . She continued to do so until she was too old to the missions any longer…DON'T COPY/USE ANYTHING OF THIS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION
