Appearance and Personality
Malise is short and plump.[3] She has "buttonlike features" and black hair with blonde streaks.[4]
She is the youngest daughter of Brightlord Gevelmar.[5] House Gevelmar is rural and not particularly notable.[6] As a member of the nobility, she has some disdain for those of lower dahn.[5] She is generally non-threatening, but is capable of significant anger.[3]
History
Shortly after Shallan's mother died, her father marries Malise.[7] She moves into the Davar estate in Valam princedom. Around this time, the Davar family is going broke, the oldest son Helaran has deserted the family, and Lin is increasingly unstable, often throwing things at his servants or beating them severely.[5] Over the next few years, Lin's sanity seems to gradually decline despite the discovery of valuable quarries on Davar lands.[2]
She initially accepts Lin's story that Shallan's mother was killed by her lover in a murder-suicide,[5] but later questions whether this is true after Lin orders Rin to assassinate Helaran.[3] She argues with Lin; he severely beats her and imprisons her in her room.[8] Shallan tries to arrange for Balat and Malise to escape the house.[8] Shortly before the planned escape, Malise reveals the plan and Lin kills her with blows to the head.[2] Balat confronts Lin, but Lin severely injures him and attempts to attack Eylita. However, Malise's death prompts Shallan to give Lin wine poisoned with blackbane, which incapacitates him.[2] Shallan is forced to kill Lin and the family discovers the broken Davar soulcaster,[2] setting events into motion that result in Shallan seeking an apprenticeship with Jasnah Kholin.
