**Flora, Fauna and Merryweather** are the hidden protagonists of Walt Disney's 1959 animated feature film,

Sleeping Beauty. The three good fairies are clothed in medieval-styled dresses with a particular color predominating. In addition to the dresses, the outfits are complemented with matching capes and pointy hats secured to their heads with colored veils.

## Background

The three good fairies are clothed in medieval-styled dresses with a
particular color predominating. In addition to the dresses, the outfits
are complemented with matching capes and pointy hats secured to their
heads with colored veils.

As a group, they all have powerful magical abilities, channeled
by their wands. They are able to do many things through their magic,
such as shrinking in size, fly, bringing inanimate objects to life, and
putting people to sleep. Their wings allow them to fly and they maneuver
 adroitly through the air. Despite their claims that they could only do
good things with their magic, they were not above using their powers in
morally ambiguous ways: Flora gifted a sword and shield to Prince
Phillip (which could be interpreted as promoting violence) while
Merryweather turned Diablo
 into stone. They were also not above using magic for their own
convenience and personal desires, as demonstrated through their
preparations of gifts for Aurora's 16th birthday party, and in the
pink/blue color war between Flora and Merryweather.

Though their magic was stated to be inferior to Maleficent's in
raw power, when they work together they were capable of granting people
extremely powerful weapons to be used in the cause of righteousness.
Such weapons could triumph over the darkest of evil. When they gave Prince Phillip
 the Shield of Virtue and the Sword of Truth (possible references to the
 Shield of Faith and the Sword of the Spirit from the Bible, seeing as
how their names are almost synonyms [ref. John 14:6]) for the final
fight with Maleficent, the sword (boosted by the fairies' combined magic
 and Flora's incantation) was so empowered it could destroy Maleficent
and her evil with one well-aimed blow.
