The irony is that Aurora was taken from her mother to protect her from Maleficent, but, to Aurora, Leila is simply the woman who gave birth to her while she refers to Maleficent as her Fairy Godmother.
What happened to Aurora's real mother in Maleficent?
Shortly after Stefan is done with his chat with Maleficent's wings, Queen Leila dies of an illness, and she never gets the chance to meet her daughter, who on the other hand is unaware of her identity and was not given the chance to learn about her mother due to Stefan's obsession causing him to neglect her as well.
Princess Aurora is not actually a blood relative of Maleficent – in fact the Princess is the daughter of King Stefan and Queen Leila. However she is the adopted daughter of Maleficent – who is protector of the Moors in the franchise, and is portrayed as a tragic, rather than evil, character.
Maleficent is based on the evil fairy godmother character in Charles Perrault's fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, as well as the villainess who appears in the Brothers Grimm's retelling of the story, Little Briar Rose. Maleficent was animated by Marc Davis.

What is Maleficent's backstory?
Growing up as an orphan in the Moors, Maleficent believed herself to be the last of her kind. As she grew into adulthood, she became the de facto protector of the Moors. One day, Maleficent suffers a ruthless betrayal and deceit that turns her pure heart to stone.
This is to keep her safe from any spinning wheels that might have escaped the purge he ordered for the kingdom. As Aurora grows up, Maleficent finds herself looking after the girl from a distance and protecting her so that she survives to her 16th birthday.
Plot. Maleficent is a powerful fairy living in the Moors, a magical forest realm bordering a human kingdom. As a child, she meets a human peasant boy named Stefan, and they fall in love with each other.
Maleval (Male/ficent and Dia/val) is the friendship/romantic pairing of Maleficent and Diaval, the eponymous protagonist and the tritagonist of Disney's Maleficent franchise. The actors who portray Maleficent and Diaval are Angelina Jolie and Sam Riley, respectively.
Even though Maleficent is a heroine, she is still presented as a satanic figure. Her iconic horns (which Disney artist Marc Davis, who designed Maleficent, says were inspired by the traditional look of the devil, to “frighten everybody half to death”) are present even before Stefan's betrayal.
After Maleficent undoes her own curse on Aurora, she realizes that her father does not have any feelings towards her, helps Maleficent by freeing her wings. After Stefan died, Aurora became the new queen of both the human kingdom and the Moors finally uniting them.
Angry over not having been invited, Maleficent casts a spell, promising that before sunset on Aurora's 16th birthday, she'll prick her finger on a spinning wheel's spindle and die.
Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) is actually a dark fairy who can control natural elements like roots, plants, and the weather. She can also cause other creatures to shape-shift. And for all means and purposes, Maleficent is also Aurora's godmother.
Angelina Jolie has revealed the reason why her daughter Vivienne, 5, was cast in her new film Maleficent. The 38-year-old admitted she didn't set out for Vivienne to be an actor. However, Vivienne was the only child actor she could find who wasn't terrified of her in costume.
The irony is that Aurora was taken from her mother to protect her from Maleficent, but, to Aurora, Leila is simply the woman who gave birth to her while she refers to Maleficent as her Fairy Godmother.
Stefan takes his time killing Maleficent by brutally torturing her. Then, after pulling out his sword, he prepares to finish her off but just before he can impale her, Maleficent's wings return to her after Aurora frees them.
In Heart of the Moors, we see his sweet, loyal nature as he unflinchingly helps Maleficent and Aurora time and again. No King Stefan. King Stefan sucked in Maleficent. He broke Maleficent's heart and totally betrayed her.
Prince Phillip is the tritagonist of 2014 live action Disney film Maleficent and also one of tritagonists of 2019 sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. He is the Prince of Ulstead and the son of King John and Queen Ingrith. Phillip is also the husband of Aurora.
In the original Sleeping Beauty (1959), Maleficent is a horned witch-monster who can fly, apparate out of nowhere, shape-shift into a dragon, command the thunderous sky to do her bidding, and, of course, issue death curses at an infant christening she wasn't invited to.
When you consider that purple is often associated with power, nobility, luxury and ambition, it makes sense. Those characteristics are certainly reflected in characters like Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, Dr.
This means the earliest likely release date for Maleficent 3 would be 2026 or 2027. This comes down to the franchise's rather ambitious production scope. The second film came with all the thrills of an epic fantasy, and it's likely that Disney would want to top this—and that takes time to achieve.
