In Haitian folklore, Ti Malice (or Malis) is a trickster character, nemesis of Tonton (Uncle) Bouqui (or Bouki). While Ti Malice is smart and guileful, Uncle Bouqui while hardworking is also very greedy.[1] It is the apt manipulation of this greed that allows Ti Malice to often best Uncle Bouqui. These characters are said to be a split of Anansi, the trickster character of the Ashanti of Ghana.
