A Blog dedicated to 5 shining stars! I re-blog all of SHINee but mostly Minho,and occasionaly reblog other groups. December 21st the day you turned the moon pearl aqua. Banner and PP by @onew_ph on Twitter
(Voted 17th-most-popular-character on the jpn server in a combination of seven different character-ranking surveys held throughout 2021)
While his exact age is unknown, based on various hints throughout his dialogue it is generally assumed that he is over 100 years old.
A descendant of the fairy tribe and the next king of Briar Valley, Malleus enrolled at NRC in order to broaden his horizons. He was rarely allowed to leave the palace back in his homeland, and only ever under escort. His birthday is a Briar Valley national holiday, and every year he spends the entire day attending various ceremonies in his honor.
Translation of illustration notes above: “Not upset, but he is unfamiliar with the world, so often times he goes ‘oh!’” - “Sometimes he sulks childishly” - “Generally he has two sections of hair resting on his chest, but this can change depending upon his outfit” - “From the side. His horns angle a bit behind his head. Either he can’t sleep lying on his back, or he has a special pillow (laughs)” - Slicked back. There are shells* that are usually hidden by his bangs.” *The word Yana uses to describe the marks on his forehead is “甲殻”, which is like what crabs and shrimps have. Shells? That might not be the English! Please let me know if there is a better word and I will update :>
Malleus can fly without the assistance of a broom, and Diasomnia dorm has consistently won Spelldrive competitions since his enrollment. We have seen him deploy two types of magic simultaneously, teleport instantaneously, summon objects from thin air and more. He has immense magical powers and is not only a top student at the school, but also one of the most powerful magicians in Twisted Wonderland. Idia refers to him as “a cheat character with automatic MP gauge recovery”, and Trey has said that he is one of the top five most powerful magic users in the world.
He does not have any particular physical training regime, but he can physically—as well we magically—handle a large number of opponents with ease. We are told he is capable of cracking open a coconut with his bare hands.
Awe-inspiring even from afar, Malleus is largely considered unapproachable by other students because of his intimidating appearance, reputation and general aura (to the extent that there are rumors that you will be cursed if you get too close to him). Even on his birthday, people congratulate him while remaining a significant distance away.
Perhaps because of this, people frequently forget to invite Malleus to housewarden meetings and opening ceremonies (it is said that he is often forgotten in other situations as well, such as when lessons change classrooms). Malleus claims that this does not bother him, but Lilia has mentioned a few times that it actually does. In Book 5 he is actually invited to a housewarden meeting but still does not attend, having gone elsewhere, according to Lilia, who explains that fairies perceive the passage of time differently from humans, and attends the meeting in his place.
Speaking in a calm and composed tone, his humor tends to fall flat as those around him generally fail to realize when he’s joking. He will smile and greet even complete strangers and is warm and friendly to those who do not seem to have any malicious intent. When he is angered, however, he is known to summon lighting.
Malleus’ hobby is visiting abandoned locations. He seems to visit the Ramshackle dorm fairly often, possibly because in addition to being quiet and difficult for his attendants to track him to, it was, at one point, an abandoned building.
Malleus also enjoys gargoyles and will sometimes pay visits to the various gargoyles located throughout the school grounds. He can also talk at length about dragons (Kalim hears a dragon lecture and compares him to Idia, who also speaks very fast and very in-depth on subjects about which he is passionate).
Malleus is fairly ambivalent towards food in general, but he has said that he never wants to eat Lilia's cooking again. He enjoys shaved ice because of how it feels inside his mouth after he has been breathing fire. We learn the food he dislikes is “whole cakes” because eating entire cakes alone makes him sick to his stomach. When the player character points out that cakes aren’t meant to be consumed by one person, Malleus pouts and admits he has done so in the past when he had no one else to share with.
Rook refers to Malleus as Roi des Dragons for King of dragons, Floyd calls him Seaslug-senpai and the player characters refers to him as Hornton (Tsunotarou on JPN server). Leona calls him ‘lizard’.
Malleus himself generally refers to those around him (who are not his vassals) by their last names, with Ortho being “small Shroud”.
Though projecting an air of being cool and collected, it would seem that Malleus is, in fact, very emotional. He is naive almost to the point of childishness after a lifetime of being shut away in a palace (his naïveté is taken advantage of by a shopkeeper in the Al'ab Nariya), is quick to express sincere surprise and often sulks when displeased by something. In the Halloween event, Lilia assures an upset and emotionally vulnerable Malleus, “When your heart is uneasy, call for us. We’re not your blood relations, but we’re still your family”.
When Cater jokes in his PE vignette about whether or not Malleus can even show up in pictures--referring to him as 'mysterious'--Malleus claims he is not offended, and Cater applauds his sense of humor. A moment later, however, he confirms that moving too much will make taking a picture impossible, gives Cater permission to take a photo of him and immediately proceeds to run and move too much too fast, quoting Cater's commentary back at him in revenge.
Lilia taught Malleus how to play a variety of string instruments during Malleus’ years of being kept indoors. He attempted to join NRC’s pop music club with Lilia, but his efforts to play an electric instrument resulted in a sound that caused everyone around him (with the exception of Lilia himself) to faint, and he says he never went back to the pop music club again.
We learn in his birthday vignette that there is a rose garden in Briar Valley of which he is very proud and offers to show to the player character one day. He receives a birthday card and rose seeds every year from his grandmother.
While we do not know how old he is, for Leona's birthday he gives Leona a book written in a dead language that Malleus says he did not realize had fallen out of use.
His prized possession is the Twisted Wonderland-equivalent of a tamagotchi, given to him by Lilia as a souvenir from a distant land.
He has a tendency to refer to any and all machines as "modern technology." He does not know how to use the Internet or computers in general, cannot perform a simple repair on his own prized tamagotchi without the use of magic or drive a car. When he restores the destroyed coliseum for the Vocal and Dance Competition in Book 5 his magic fails to recover the corrupted data in the event’s computer system, but it is successfully restored through a back-up that Leona had saved to the cloud. There is a fan-theory of Malleus’ incompatibility with machinery being a reference to the fairy-repelling abilities of iron in mythology and folklore.
During VDC voting both Malleus and Lilia appear on-screen, but only one sound can be heard to denote that a vote has been cast. It is possible that he could not figure out how to cast his vote in the competition that NRC lost by a single vote.
Malleus seems to have a dragon form separate from his usual form that is capable of breathing fire, saying once that he is capable of “drinking a human in a single gulp” in his “original form”. Lilia also mentions how they have known one another from when “Malleus still had eggshell on his head”.
There seems to be a wide variety of fairies in Twisted Wonderland, with smaller fairies being terrified of Malleus.
Malleus has said that he and his grandmother have a similar degree of magical prowess, insinuating that she is a very powerful magic user as well. From the hints we have been given thus far it would seem she is his only living relative, and is performing official duties alone in Briar Valley while Malleus attends NRC. In a vignette it is hinted that he does not know very much about his parents.
When he was a child, he was assigned by the queen to magically light all the carved wooden lanterns in the country on Halloween in the Valley of Thorns. He became so enthusiastic about his task that he set fire to not only all the lanterns, but also the houses and fields. It is now considered a significant disaster in the history of Briar Valley, called the “Halloween of Fire”. It is a sensitive subject for Malleus, who regrets it extremely, but Sebek insists that it was an awe-inspiring demonstration of Malleus’ power to the citizens of his country.
He once also accidentally set Lilia’s bangs on fire with his breath when trying to blow out his birthday candles.

He told us once again that he’s the last piece of the puzzle and to put ACE•BASE•FACE•VOICE•CHASE together 🥺🤍❤️💚💙🖤
UPDATE: I took pictures for graduation last Friday!!! Once I get them back I will share the ones that feature my cap !!! I also took some with my Shatting star so I'll share those as well!!
Imagine if fatui Scaramouche ever got to encounter Albedo
The parallel and contrast between them is insane—Albedo yearning for the very thing that happened to “ruin” Scaramouche’s life is *chefs kiss* (I also wanted to draw scaramouche letting everything out and crying and breaking down)
