Stunning!
Tell me more about her...
Oh... okay
Her full name is Maline Roux she normally looks like http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/7420/maline1.jpg and when asked about her background she says:
I came over to Vvardenfell when I was fifteen. Amelia asked our mother if I could come and help with looking after Perien. At first Mother wasn't very happy about the idea but Master Varlais said we would be safe in Dunhaven.

If you ask Maline about her trade she'll say:
When I first came to Vvardenfell Amelia was just setting up the store so I helped her for a few years while she taught me how to trade. I always had an interest in fashion so Amelia invited one of our friends, Milie Hastien, to help me set up the clothing side of the business.
Maline works in a small store just out of Vivec - however she lives with her family in Vivec and travels to work with them each day - (well at least she will appear to when I get the scheduling done correctly)
As a Breton she normally prefers her own kind but can be a bit flirty with non-beast males if she has the right disposition - in one optional quest she will measure the player up for a set of clothes and says:
[She laughs] You'll do all right %pcname. Here let me measure you first. [She pulls out a tape measure and comes round to you] Can you hold your arms out? Excellent, now I need your waist size. [She runs her hand over your abdomen and smiles appreciately] I can see you've been keeping fit. Now inner leg, ah, please don't fidget. Oh, my hands are cold? Sorry. [She heads back around the counter and takes some notes]. Hmm, I can have this ready when Amelia has her outfit organised.
The quest enables the player to take her sister out for a meal though Maline would prefer to go herself and if prompted will ask the player when are they going to take her out:
[She grins] Well I think it is very sweet that you are spoiling my sister. [She quickly pulls you to her and kisses you on the cheek] I'm also jealous it isn't me who got invited but... perhaps another time. [She checks her note again] Master Varlais has asked that you be offered an outfit from our special selection.
While she is a bit flirty she is not a serious romance option as she really has her eye on someone already - the screenshot I took of her earlier was her trying out her sister's going out hairstyle for the dinner quest

And that I guess is Maline's little world
