Maleficent

Maleficent is a fictitious character created in Walt Disney's movie Sleeping Beauty in 1959. She is a compelling fairy who lives in Moors, and in adolescence falls in love with Stefan (a human peasant boy). However, Stefan betrays her to capture the throne which ruins Maleficent.

She forms a dark tyrannical kingdom with Diaval as her one associate. The queen of Moor and Mistress of Evil comes to know about the newborn princess Aurora (daughter of King Stefan). Filled with hatred and revenge, Maleficent arrives uninvited to the royal christening and curses the newborn princess: on her sixteenth birthday before the sun sets, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die.

Frightened by the curse, Stefan pleads for his daughter. Fairy Merryweather, who had some powers, diminishes the curse so that Aurora will go to a deep slumber instead. Maleficent then offers a caveat – only a true loves kiss could awaken her.

Maleficent watches over Aurora grow in grace and beauty from afar and after fifteen years, realizes that she has grown fond of the princess. She attempts to revoke the curse but is unsuccessful. Aurora later falls in love with Prince Philip. On her 16^th birthday, the curse starts taking affect on Aurora. Maleficent kidnaps Phillip and infiltrates Stefan's castle to have him kiss Aurora, but his romantic kiss had no effect. Maleficent breaks down and kisses her forehead, which causes Aurora to awaken. The movie then moves to a happy ending.
