## Appearances

### Debut

N/A

**The mother of Queen Leah** is referred to only in books and never made an actual appearance.

In the former script of Maleficent, she appears as **Queen Mary**. She is Queen Leah's mother and Princess Aurora's maternal grandmother.

## Description

In the original continuity, she appears in a portrait as she was when 17. She is a beautiful maiden with blonde hair, fair skin and green clothing.

## Family

She is married in the script to King Henry and has a daughter Leah. Her family grows when Leah weds Stefan, having a granddaughter Aurora, who in turn marries Prince Phillip. In the script, Leah also had other children, or for Mary, grandchildren.

In the book, *Aurora and the Diamond Crown,* she comes from a long line of princesses and queens who ruled over Aurora's kingdom.

## Personal Information

* In the book she seems to like the color green.
* In the deleted film she enjoys spinning.
* She had the Diamond Crown until she passed it to Leah.

## Personality

Not much is known about her, other than having won the Diamond Crown when she was 17, meaning she had a good heart. In the script, she is also shown to be more compassionate than King Henry. She also took care of Aurora as an infant. One passion of her would be spinning, as she and her daughter hid the last spinning wheel from Stefan. She is also observant, as she thought Stefan would be a changeling as he grew up in the Moors.

## Appearances

She is mentioned in *The Wedding Gift*, having worn Leah's (and Aurora's) wedding dress before her. In *Aurora and the Diamond Crown,* she won said crown at 17 like her ancestors, and after her Leah and Aurora, by answering correctly three riddles. She has the same role in similar book, *Jewels To Rule By*.

In *Maleficent* former script, she first appears asking who is Maleficent, as she tries to warn faeries about King Henry's plot. Later, she and her husband interrogate Thistlewit, Knotgrass, and Flittle about what they can do. Later, when Henry discovers Stefan, Mary deduces he was a changeling (taken by faeries as an infant and raised by them). Later, described as old, she attends to Princess Aurora at her christening. 16 years later, she spins with the last spinning wheel in the kingdom, having hid it from Stefan. She greets Aurora, and warns her not to touch the spindle.

## Relationships

* With *King Henry*: Love/Husband. Despite being way more calm and morally correct than him, she seems to agree with him, mainly because she doesn't know of his plans.
* With *Princess Leah*: Family love. She loves her daughter greatly.
* With *Princess Aurora*: Family love. She meets and recognizes Aurora, and even tried to prevent her to touch the spinning wheel.
* With *Stefan*: Neutral. She agreed with him marrying her daughter, but went over his orders and spun at the spinning wheel that she hid from him.
* With *Knotgrass* and *Thistlewit* and *Flittle*: Neutral. She interrogates them, even showing patience.

## Trivia

* It's unknown whether she's alive or not.
* She by default is Queen Morningstar's mother as well, but *Book of Enchantment* being a separate continuity from *Maleficent*; that honor goes to Princess Cyrena possibly.
* She doesn't have an actress meant for her as only Miranda Richardson and Peter Capaldi were cast as Queen Ulla and King Kinloch by the time the script was replaced.
* She's the fifth bearer of the Diamond Crown.
* She was princess before her daughter Leah.
* **Mary** is of Hebrew origins and means *bitter, beloved, rebelliousness, wished for child, marine* or *drop of the sea*.
