## Character Information

### Personality

The Fairy Godmother is a motherly, kind, and genuine character with an optimistically pure heart. She serves as a physical symbol of hope in Cinderella's life and speaks with a gentle tone. Though wise to a degree, the Fairy Godmother tends to be comically absent-minded, continuously loses sight of the obvious, and has a habit of both losing her wand and forgetting her magic words "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo". Even so, she can piece together her mind quickly enough and enjoys her ability to ensure dreams come true, treating Cinderella as her own daughter, in a sense.

For all of her sweetness, she doesn't sympathize with those who are cruel or unforgiving towards others. This is evidenced by her scene in the original film, where Lucifer tries to attack Gus, only to be scared off after she turns the mouse into a majestic horse. As Lucifer retreats in fear, the Fairy Godmother teasingly blasts sparks of magic from her wand towards him, while tauntingly saying, "Serves him right!"

20 years later, Fairy Godmother is a wise, kind, and accepting teacher at Auradon Prep school. She accepted Ben's proclamation of giving the new generation a chance. She tried her best to be patient with them and even gave them the opportunity to speak to their parents. She also tried to defend them on family day and trusted Mal to give her back the wand, being extremely proud when she and the other VKs did so and turned good. She can be strict especially with her daughter. She has given up magic and believes it is what is in the inside that counts. Jane mentions her mother believes the true magic comes from knowledge and books. Despite having given up on magic, she gets annoyed when the villains insult her magic.

### Physical Appearence

Fairy Godmother has short, dark brown hair and is often seen in a short-sleeved formal blue shirt, with golden buttons and a shirt collar. She has a blue necklace and a velvet, bow that matches the bow of the animated Fairy Godmother in the animated Disney movie *Cinderella*.

## Appearances and Timeline

### Before Auradon

After her wicked stepsisters cruelly destroy the dress she plans on wearing to the ball when they recognize the beads and sash that they had thrown away earlier, Cinderella runs out to the backyard of her stepmother Lady Tremaine's château near her father's fountain, where she breaks down in sorrow as she has no way of getting to the ball now, beginning to lose her faith in dreams. However, her faith is still strong enough to summon her Fairy Godmother, who explains that she has arrived to help Cinderella in her hour of need. To get her to the ball, she transforms an ordinary pumpkin into a carriage and four of Cinderella's mice into white horses for the carriage. She attempts to transform Lucifer into something, but he flees, and it is unknown what he would have transformed into, or if he managed to dodge it.

She then turns Cinderella's horse, Major, into a coachman, and her dog Bruno into a footman. Finally, after Cinderella points out her tattered gown, Fairy Godmother measures Cinderella with her wand and bestows a beautiful white dress upon Cinderella, complete with two enchanted glass slippers that only Cinderella can wear due to their small size. Before she departs, the Fairy Godmother gives Cinderella a word of caution: at the stroke of twelve, the spell will be broken, and everything will return to normal. Grateful for the gifts anyway, Cinderella thanks her Fairy Godmother and happily rides off to the ball as Fairy Godmother bids her farewell.

### Descendants

In the television movie, the Fairy Godmother is played by Melanie Paxson. She is the headmistress of Auradon Prep and has a daughter named Jane who is shy and insecure but fascinated with magic, even if she doesn't let her daughter use it. When the descendants of the heroes' sworn enemies come to Auradon, they have been tasked by their parents to steal her magic wand. The Fairy Godmother teaches "Remedial Goodness" to the villain kids to teach them how to be good.

Despite her younger appearance in the film, Cruella refers to her as "old bat".

### Descendants 2

During the beginning scene, she chases away the press from Ben and Mal. They thank her and she disappears. She is heard planning the Royal Cotillion with Jane on the phone on multiple occasions.

At the cotillion, she asks Jane to help out with the punch bowl but is surprised and excited to find out she has a date. She reacts touched and happy when she finds out it is Carlos De Vil, exclaiming: "Bippity boppity!"

Later, Ben and Uma ask her rather forcefully to shut down the Isle of the Lost's barrier but she refuses, knowing that Ben is cursed along with being appalled by both letting loose all of the captured villains and Uma's rudeness. After Uma is defeated and Ben's spell is broken, she takes in Mal's spellbook and starts celebrating with Lumiere.
