first off, today is malina and her sisters' birthday so happy birthday to them!! i feel like she fits an it fic very well, with stan, ben or bev as a love interest. with stranger things, i could see her best with mike or dustin. i think she's have an old fashioned name like caroline, georgia, jackie, linda, etc. fir character personality, i feel like she could fit either a really religious, sheltered character who throughout the fic is exploring a more rebellious side or a proper character who was maybe raised in another country.
