Maleficent

Maleficent is a 41-year-old geneticist with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) who hates people with physical and neurological disabilities. She is an avid proponent of eugenics, believing that "healthy genes" are extremely important, while disabilities should be stigmatized and eliminated. These views have invited criticism and social rejection, leaving Maleficent embittered with wider society for excluding her, whilst "enabling" disabled people.

Maleficent's disdain for disabled people stems from her personal history. Many years ago, she gave birth to two sons; one neurotypical, and one with autism. As the children grew, the autistic son developed behaviors which were viewed as "weird", "repetitive", "obsessive", "disruptive" and "annoying". Ultimately, her husband filed for a divorce, citing the burden of rearing a disabled child as his motivation. Full of resentment and grief over her divorce, Maleficent drowned her autistic son in the bathtub. Narrowly escaping a murder conviction, Maleficent attempted to rekindle her marriage, but her husband was repulsed by her actions and even left her full custody of her remaining son, Riku. She has raised Riku to believe that his autistic brother was the cause of her divorce and taught him that disabled people are the cause of society's ills. This has resulted in him developing a hatred for disabilites.

Maleficent and Riku have a romantic relationship, as Maleficent views her own genes as superior and therefore favours a partner with similarly elite genetics. She is well aware of the pitfalls of inbreeding, but considers further children unnecessary, as Riku is already a perfect child to her. She does, however, expect Riku to take another partner after she dies, in order to continue her lineage.
