Oh right, we got right to the criminal mischief we skipped all the dull backstory stuff.
*She always forgot nobody knew who she was.*
All the heroes won, creating Auradon by uniting all the kingdoms. They sent all the villains to an island without access to magic or any way to escape. My mother, Maleficent, was the baddest of those villains.
I was born in prison. But I got out... So I, guess... I have faith...
*Ew when did that happen.*
I'll probably need it, I have a bit of a look to keep up. Evie is better at making clothes but I get by on my own.
Your mom… is Maleficent. Like, Sleeping Beauty Maleficent? Seriously?
[ It’s ridiculous. That’s a Disney movie. Wasn’t she killed at the end, anyway? And who would want to -
Leo stops that thought right there. That is not something he wants to think about. Ugh. Born in prison, though. That really blows.
He shakes his head, heaving an exaggerated sigh. ] Sorry to tell you, Mal, but there’s just no way you’re going to get by here without making your own clothes. It’s a requirement - part of our debt. You don’t make your clothes, you’re out of luck. That’s just how this place rolls.
*How the hell does everyone know about this!? Eventually she'll ask someone to explain, but she hasn't overcome her desire to avoid thinking about it with curiosity.*
Yes, that's my mother. I wanted to be just like her, until I figured out that wouldn't make me happy.
*Mal rolled her eyes at the overacting, she knows how that works. She's done it before.*
I can manage, I managed before Evie and I were friends. ...she's probably part of my debt. Does trying to maim someone with bear traps count if you made up and put it behind you?
[ So, her mom - Maleficent - named her… Mal. Ego much?
Leo shakes his head, amused and unsure if he even believes it. But after all he’s seen in this city, why shouldn’t he? Things just get weirder and weirder. ]
That was a joke, you know. But I never did expect Maleficent would have a sense of humor, so why should her kids?
[ He laughs. ]
And yeah, I think that counts. But you could always ask Athena if you want to be sure.
