Driven by relentless revenge and a fierce passion to protect her land from invaders, the now vindictive and ruthless Maleficent places an irrevocable curse on the human king’s newborn baby, Aurora.
Princess Aurora is a curious and thoughtful child who develops a bond with nature that rivals only Maleficent’s. But as she grows, Aurora is caught in the middle of the seething conflict between the forest kingdom she has grown to love and the human kingdom that holds her legacy.
Diaval is Maleficent’s loyal servant, who, on her command, can take on different forms to suit her purposes. He serves as Maleficent’ conscience and has strong beliefs, which he is not afraid to act on.
Stefan is a childhood friend of Maleficent’s who comes from the human kingdom outside of the forest Maleficent calls home. Over time, Stefan becomes consumed with his ambition to be King and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
The three inept Flower Pixies are charged with caring for Aurora until her sixteenth birthday.Knotgrass is a tangled knot of bad humor, bossiness, and a superior to the other two Pixies. Flittle is a blue Flower Pixie. She always has butterflies flying around her head. Thistlewit, the youngest of the Pixies, is always giddy, playful and childlike.
