Fictional character biography

A member of the junior Female Furies, Malice is an insane girl that controls a shadow demon called Chessure.^[1] Niece of Virman Vundabar, Malice and the other junior Furies played a game to see who could kill the most humans on Earth. During one of their games, they came across the superheroes Hawk and Dove. Malice won the game by killing a college wrestler in a super hero costume. She participated in several missions and is noteworthy for her bratty, yet cynical personality. Most often, she feigns being a helpless little girl, and then summons Chessure to attack. It was also hinted that her older brother was physically abusive towards her until she became a member of the Furies.
