Young Maleficent is alerted by three small fairies, Knotgrass (Imelda Staunton), Flittle (Lesley Manville), and Thistlewit (Juno Temple), that a thief has been apprehended by the forest guards at the Moors' border.
Knotgrass, Flittle, and Thistlewit are pixies that inhabit the Moors. The trio went to Princess Aurora's Christening to grant her magical gifts, where Maleficent curses the newborn baby. After this event, the pixies were responsible for taking care of Aurora until her sixteenth birthday and are her adoptive aunts.
Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather are the three good fairies in Walt Disney's 1959 film Sleeping Beauty. They are characterized as Princess Aurora's fairy godmothers and guardians, who appear at baby Aurora's christening to present their gifts to her.
Dark Fae are a species of winged fairies, with wings resembling those of birds. They are descended from an ancient Phoenix. Dark Fae have many subspecies, such as jungle variants, dessert variants, and forest variants.

Young Maleficent is alerted by three small fairies, Knotgrass (Imelda Staunton), Flittle (Lesley Manville), and Thistlewit (Juno Temple), that a thief has been apprehended by the forest guards at the Moors' border.
During this time, Maleficent's species is identified as 'Dark Fey', although Maleficent's powers are unique to her due to her being the latest reincarnation of the powerful Phoenix.
Maleficent is a powerful dark fairy and the eponymous protagonist of the 2014 film Maleficent and its 2019 sequel, titled Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and the upcoming Maleficent 3. Growing up as an orphan in the Moors, Maleficent believed herself to be the last of her kind.
Diaval is the tritagonist of the 2014 live action Disney film, Maleficent and also its 2019 sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. He's Maleficent's friend, partner, loyal servant, and pet raven. After being saved by Maleficent in his raven form, he agreed to be her servant and act as her "wings."
Viviane, a woman with a keen mind and great beauty charms Merlin, the enchanter of the forest. Water fairy, protector of the knight Lancelot, Viviane masters the enchantments and knowledge of nature. Throughout the Arthurian legend, the Lady of the Lake watches over and protects the knights and King Arthur …
Maleficent is soft-spoken, proper, and elegant and has two possible motivations for her crimes, either out of pride, considering she curses Aurora because Stefan didn't invite her to the christening, or she is simply a monster who enjoys being evil.
Merryweather, one of the three good fairies, weakened the curse so Aurora would only sleep. Determined to prevent this, three good fairies raise Aurora as a peasant in order to protect her, patiently awaiting her sixteenth birthday — the day the spell can only be broken by a kiss from her true love, Prince Phillip.
Angelina Jolie's daughter Vivienne will make her big screen debut in the upcoming flick 'Maleficent' alongside her mother, who will be playing the Sleeping Beauty baddie. The cute little blonde plays young princess Aurora, who gets cursed by the evil sorceress, in the film.
It's sad to see the great Chiwetel Ejiofor (Twelve Years a Slave) trapped in the thankless role of a “dark fey” — you're on your own translating that — out to stop the Queen from killing his bat-winged species with a red powder made of iron, the metal that floors fairies like Kryptonite.
Their personalities were largely switched for Maleficent, making the Blue Fairy (now called Flittle) more like Fauna, and vice versa for Thislewit (Juno Temple), the new version of the Green Fairy.
A fairy (also fay, fae, fey, fair folk, or faerie) is a type of mythical being or legendary creature found in the folklore of multiple European cultures (including Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, and French folklore), a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural.
On Maleficent's sixteenth birthday, Stefan kissed her. However, after some period of time after this, he didn't come to see Maleficent. Stefan later betrayed her and stole her wings, so he would be able to become the new king. Stefan later married Leila, Henry's daughter, and she became his wife and queen.
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.
She was called "Beastie" by Maleficent. At first, Maleficent hated Aurora, but Maleficent soon had developed a close bond with her, so she now calls Aurora "Beastie" as a nickname and a sign of affection towards her. Aurora was only able to wear her signature pink dress in the second film.
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.
Maleficent really wasn't in the wrong. she was mad because her husband cheated on her. Every hero or villain has a backstory. In the newest version of the story, a movie just about Maleficent, you find out why she hates King Stefan.
Unfortunately, Ingrith herself confronts her and reveals the reason why she hates magical creatures: she believes her brother was killed by a magical creature, which caused her father, who wanted peace between magical people and humans, to be overthrown by his own people, something that led Ingrith to be exiled.
The Fairies once lived in harmony with the humans but after Maleficent was ruthlessly betrayed and became the evil ruler of the forest, things changed for the Moors and the fairies lived in fear of their now wicked queen, yet they still remain loyal.
