"Maid" is an old word for maid, referring more specifically to domestic workers, but in pop culture, it refers to a genre of anime and a style of cosplay.

There are two main types of stories inspired by "cute maids," and they are:

Stories of real maids: where the protagonists are maids who experience the ups and downs of being a subordinate to an aristocrat or something similar, and almost always end up falling in love with their boss.
&
Waitress stories: where the protagonists work in themed restaurants and dress up as maids to serve customers, something very common in Japan.

Diasomnia: inspired by Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, her prefect is Malleus Draconia, and her deputy prefect is Lilia Vanrouge, her adoptive father.

Malleus is considered one of the 5 most powerful magicians in the world, although he himself has stated that his grandmother's magic was even more powerful.

When he was younger, Malleus even set the Valley of Briar on fire during a lantern-lighting ceremony on Halloween, because he didn't know how to adjust his magical power.

Malleus's childhood was marked by loneliness, due to his position in royalty and his grandmother's constant occupation with official duties. As a member of the royal family, he learned good manners and received academic education and care from various tutors from an early age. In particular, his grandmother emphasized the importance of etiquette, especially regarding invitations. Furthermore, Malleus was abnormally powerful from a young age, even breathing fire while still in his egg. His immense power caused those around him to fear him and keep their distance, further contributing to his feeling of isolation.

As Malleus grew older, he visited Lilia at her home regularly. During one of these visits, he met Silver, a baby Lilia had adopted. Lilia asked Malleus to look after the boy while she went to the market, and Malleus expressed his confusion and discomfort at caring for such a small and fragile creature. Malleus would develop a mentor-like relationship with Silver and, later, with Sebek, the grandson of one of Lilia's closest companions from her time as a general.

Malleus was born and raised in the Briar Valley (formerly Briarland), the son of Princess Maleanor and Raverne, General of the Left. During his childhood, his father, Raverne, mysteriously disappeared, leaving only him and his mother. Born at a time when tension between humans and fairies was at its peak, his egg was fiercely guarded by his mother, who sang him a lullaby. Later, when the Silver Owls, including Henrick and the Knight of Dawn, attacked Maleanor's castle, Henrick expressed interest in taking Malleus's egg to make it his riding dragon. Maleanor then left Malleus's egg with Lilia and forced him to leave while he fought the Knight of Dawn. Subsequently, when the Knight of Dawn was struck by Maleanor and thrown near where Lilia was traveling with the egg, the knight let them escape, ensuring Malleus's safety.

Lilia left the egg at Blackscale Castle, where it rested in the Cradle Tower. But without Maleanor to provide love and magic to the egg, Malleus failed to hatch. Lilia traveled the world searching for a way to make it hatch, telling it stories and talking to it in the hope that it would, but to no avail. Two centuries passed until, one day, Malleus cried from within the egg, his life in danger. Lilia was summoned to the castle and, with her help, Malleus finally hatched. After being born, Malleus was separated from Lilia, his only companion.

Due to his limited life experience and relationships with others, Malleus has difficulty letting go and allowing change. Malleus is extremely protective of the things he holds dear, to the point of doing everything in his power to protect and preserve them. This protective streak is what leads to the events of Book 7, where he is motivated by the fear of losing Lilia, the person closest to him. Furthermore, he has cared for Roaring Drago, his Tamagotchi, for many years. Malleus is unhappy that his digital pet has a limited lifespan, opting to hatch and raise it repeatedly.

Malleus also has a playful side, according to Cater. His sense of humor, however, is often misunderstood.

In short, Malleus is a complex and multifaceted character, embodying both a regal and imposing presence and a genuine curiosity about the world around him. Despite his fearsome reputation, Malleus demonstrates signs of kindness and compassion, possessing a strong sense of justice and a desire to protect those dear to him.

Malleus is described by many as possessing a powerful aura that repels most people. He also doesn't appear very friendly when speaking, maintaining a calm and respectful, yet distant tone. Malleus doesn't interact closely with other students besides Lilia, Silver, and Sebek. This is mainly due to the fact that the others feel intimidated and avoid him. Although Malleus has no problem talking to others, he is used to being feared or even hated, which has only resulted in his greater isolation. Even those who wish to get closer to him (like Silver or Sebek) are unable to. These factors, combined with Malleus's altered perception of punctuality due to being a faerie, have caused him to be left out of most invitations to ceremonies and events.

Despite enjoying solitude, Malleus shows signs of loneliness and a desire to connect with others normally. He is also said to have a naive and childlike side, as he grew up isolated from the outside world in Briar Valley. Lilia encouraged him to attend Nightraven College to avoid complete isolation. Although Malleus's knowledge and magical prowess already exceed anything he could learn at school, Lilia believes he still has much to learn and that knowledge isn't everything – and Malleus also shows himself open to trying new things. While magic is a natural part of him and his life, he is unfamiliar with technology, as Briar Valley only uses technomancy. Because of this, he finds technology complicated and is impressed by those who understand it.

As the dormitory caretaker, Malleus's uniform differs from that of the other Diasomnia students, its most striking features being the longer coat, longer gloves, and cape with irregular edges. Malleus also wears dark green eyeshadow when in uniform. The uniform consists of a black waterproof coat with neon green and silver details, black suspenders and combat belts, riding pants, black gloves, high-heeled boots, and a small cap.

The waterproof jacket has asymmetrical colored lapels, one black and the other neon green. Both lapels have silver straps and buttons. Two silver zippers run down the center of the jacket, with neon green stripes. While a standard uniform jacket reaches below the waist, Malleus's jacket is waist-length on the right side and below the knee on the left. The jacket's lining is neon green.

Over his coat and above his waist, he wears a set of black belts with silver buckles. The lowest belt hangs at an angle and connects to several silver spools of thread on his left hip. Between the belt and the spools, there is a silver ornament in the shape of a spinning wheel. The black combat suspenders worn above the belts have silver buttons and a singular cuff on the right arm that resembles a dragon's wing. Malleus also wears a wide black collar around his neck with a ribbed design similar to the shoulder cuff.

The Jodhpur trousers are black with neon green stripes on the outer seams, and the knee-high boots are black with neon green soles. The Malleus' heels are slightly higher than those of a regular uniform. The cap is black with neon green details.

The outer edge of Malleus's cloak, as well as the ends of his gloves, feature a design composed of thorny vines and roses. The cloak's hem is irregular, and the lining is a deep purple. The cloak is worn over Malleus's left shoulder.

Malleus is a considerably tall young man with pale skin. He has mostly shoulder-length black hair, with long bangs and two longer side strands that fall over his shoulders. He also has a small cowlick on the top of his head. The ends of his hair fade to a dark turquoise shade. His eyes are light green, with vertically slit pupils and long eyelashes. His lips are a slightly darker shade than his skin, and he usually wears what appears to be a subtle dark eyeshadow.

Its most striking features are its pointed, elf-like ears and the long, black horns atop its head. Its horns are covered in small crests and curve backward in an S-shape. Sharp fangs are visible when its mouth is open. It is often seen with a serious expression or a mysterious smile.
