Cafuné/Baciami
We will occasionally hear information about Malleus’ sole blood relative, his grandmother.
We learn she has impressed upon him that barging in somewhere uninvited is the height of rudeness, taught him that humans often fear them, told him tales of the Scalding Sands (“But we haven’t heard much about the country since things became peaceful here”), and more.
Malleus mentions receiving cufflinks, cards and rose seeds for his birthday, saying that he cannot help but admire her thoughtfulness.
Malleus says that Lilia and his grandmother are the only people who ruffle his hair in a certain way.
He says “having siblings seems rather complicated” after discussing their families with Trey and Cater, but follows with, “one should treat their family with respect.”
Malleus also says his childhood was so long ago that he can barely remember any of it now.
In an extremely rare reference to his parents, Malleus wonders if they, his grandmother and Lilia toiled in the hopes of giving their descendants a happy, peaceful life.
Sebek says that while his grandfather has shared many tales of heroics about the Draconia family and Lilia, they never spoke much about Malleus’ mother Maleanor, or about how Malleus’ parents died:
“I've read many books to gain a greater understanding of Briar Valley and our ruler…but hardly any of them touched upon such topics.”
In Book 7 we learn that Maleanor was the princess of the Land of Briar 400 years ago (before it became Briar Valley).
Maleanor was his grandmother, Maleficia’s, only child and a key figure in the country’s defense, as commander of the royal guard.
Lilia describes Maleanor as so powerful that the rest of them combined would not stand a chance against her:
“She's also unruly, quick to start fights, selfish, and irascible...not to mention incredibly spiteful. Lady Maleanor is Briarland's most menacing figure.”
Lilia says she'd complain about food, refusing to eat jerky when they were children until Raverne stewed it for her:
“And of course she fawned over Raverne all the while, making passive-aggressive remarks like, ‘You're the only one I can depend on.’ ...maybe that's where the difference between him and me lies. And here I was the one to actually bring the food.”

my guy pretty like a girl, fuck his ass make his toes curl or whatever frank ocean said

I was trying to justify to myself having Leona know how to use a waffle maker, and. well. sometimes you just gotta go where the flow takes you.
chapter 7 doodles + a quick thought of levan?
UGSHDHH i can finally draw again I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SILRID 🤝🤝❗️❗️take this doodle while i work on an upcoming animatic, i hope to draw much more now that i’m back home
"And I will hoard them as a dragon does her gold- for my memories with you are the most precious of all."
not to trauma dump but i'd definitely choose to be an older sister again even if it means re-living all the shit that happened in the past .... i feel like those older siblings in anime who make it look dramatic when they dote on their younger siblings but it's exactly how i feel (shoutout amagi rinne?) ... i think there's also this Uniqueness with being an older sister in a religious asian household. you definitely have a defined role in the family; you're expected to do so much of this and that responsibilities while looking after your younger siblings.. of course this isn't meant to undermine whatever responsibilities younger siblings have, each of us have our own thing; i'm just personally talking about my experience as an active older sister to my sibling and how it affected my life (negatively & positively), as well as how i became a pillar in my younger sibling's life T_T
