Malala is a girl who summons Alcor because she’s plagued with nightmares that keep her from sleeping.

Physical Description

Malala is a young girl of Middle-Eastern descent, with dark hair and brown eyes. She's usually depicted wearing a burka or headscarf.

Personality

She comes off as an individual prone to deep thought and introspection, though usually she is nervous and jittery. Additionally, she's brave enough to have summoned Alcor in an attempt to fix her ailment.

History

A few hundred years after Mabel's death, Malala summons Alcor in hopes that he would purge her mind of nightmares. In exchange, she would repair the precious sweaters Mabel had made that were beginning to unravel. Alcor accepted, and granted her good dreams as well, and the arrangement became permanent. After a time, they became close enough that Alcor wore a scarf and a sweater that Malala had made him.

Malala teaches her children to knit as well, and Alcor often goes to her descendants when the sweaters need repairs. This arrangement extends to those in the Cult of Dippingsauce as well.
