Queen Maleficent "Mal" Bertha 

is the main protagonist of the Descendants franchise. She is the

daughter of Maleficent and Hades, the wife of King Ben, and the Queen of the United States
of Auradon and the Isle of the Lost.
Mal takes charge of carrying out her mother's evil plan to steal the Fairy Godmother's magic wand
and enjoys drawing and casting spells (but only if needed).

As the movie progresses, Mal lets go of much of her former fears and goals, becoming in tune with
her true self; thus she abandons the hollow life of evil, for a life of good. With friendship and love,
Mal ended filling the hole in her that could not be satisfied through what her mother had taught her.
