Ti Malice and Bouqui


In Haitian folklore, Ti Malice is a trickster character, nemesis of Tonton Bouqui. While Ti Malice is smart and guileful, Uncle Bouqui, while hardworking, is also very greedy. 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.
