Mal the daughter of Maleficent and Hades. She isn't really close with her father or mother matter of fact. In all actuality she's cut off her mom entirely. She's much more in touch with her father now than when she was younger.And her friends have helped her through her hardships. A couple of years ago she got engaged to Beauty and the Beast's son Ben, he's the prince of Auradon. At first Mal thought Ben would be a preppy prince like the rest of the prices here.
