The Light Novel series is the source material for the adaptation of the Anime and Manga series. The information and terminology on the article will be based on the source material rather than the adaptions. Malty S. She is the former first Princess of Melromarc who betrayed Naofumi Iwatani by lying about him sexually assaulting her. After her lies were exposed, she was disowned from the royal family where she soon betrayed the other 3 heroes, and she became a wanted criminal.
Malty was first described by Naofumi as a lovely girl with wavy semi-long crimson hair that is tied up in a ponytail with chest-length hair strands hanging on either side, emerald-green eyes, a pretty cute and youthful facial features, yet slightly shorter than Naofumi. Even after her betrayal, Naofumi admits that she is a waste of beauty and describes her as needlessly attractive.
Malty normally presents herself to newcomers with her mask of a friendly and encouraging but flirty person. In reality, she is a malevolent psychopath with a myriad of negative traits. She is a consummate fraud who stands as prejudiced, narcissistic, egocentric, haughty, dishonest, hypocritical, whiny, bossy, corrupt, vain, arrogant, conceited, depraved, shrill, treacherous, condescending, malevolent, sadistic, abusive, deceitful, selfish and tyrannical.
On top of being highly adept at cheating and manipulating people for her own self-serving benefit, while not above insulting or making them as miserable as possible. Malty is also a first-class actress, often pretending to be a poor and harmless girl who'd stoop so low as to self-victimize in order to make people believe her empty word. She is deceptive enough to "cry" crocodile tears in order to fool people into taking her side, something the Queen calls her out for in the manga.
Even after she was implanted with a spell that makes her feel an immeasurable pain when she lies, lying remains Malty's first - and perhaps only - reaction in any given situation, even when there is clear evidence of her malicious actions. Malty will do whatever it takes to get her way and is not above any kind of foul play, willfully interfering in otherwise fair matches.
