Malvie

Malvie is the femslash ship between Mal and Evie from the Descendants fandom.

Canon
Mal and Evie were not always close. Their relationship had a rocky start, with Mal being bitter for ten years that Evie did not invite her to her sixth birthday party. Mal almost tricks Evie into touching Maleficent's sceptre, which would've cursed her to sleep for 1000 years, but Evie reveals that she had wanted to invite Mal to her party, but hadn't been allowed too due to the tensions between the Evil Queen and Maleficent. Mal feels guilty and, at the last moment, grabs the sceptre herself, finding out later that she is immune to the curse. From that day onwards, they, along with Jay and Carlos, became firm friends.

At the beginning of Descendants, Mal is under pressure from her mother to follow in her footsteps and be evil liker her, whereas Evie believes her only worth is in her looks, and feels under pressure from her mother to find a prince to marry.

Mal and Evie are frequently shown to be much closer with each other than they are with their other friends, even Jay and Carlos. In Descendants 3, it was revealed that Evie was the only person Mal told about the identity of her father, showing she trusts Evie deeply.
