* Guardian
* Fractured

**Maleficent, Mistress of All Evil**, otherwise known as the **Draconic Mage**, is a character from Disney's *Sleeping Beauty* and a Ranged Guardian of the Mirrorverse.

Maleficent summoned the Fractured after finding the shattered Dark Mirror, in an attempt to take the Stellar Mirror from Mickey Mouse. However, she soon lost control of the situation and the broken mirror was stolen by Jafar. Maleficent then joined the Guardians in hopes of getting it back, as well as getting vengeance on the sorcerer.

*Vengeful and powerful, Maleficent unleashes raw untamed forces by channeling transformation magic! While trapped in a state between sorceress and dragon, she harnesses her chaotic might to sear enemies with fire and lightning.*
### Mirrorverse Role

*Maleficent is a mighty sorceress who revels in the destruction of her enemies. An expert in dealing damage, she can inflict curses that weaken opponents over time. But Stellar Magic has weakened Maleficent, forcing her to tap into her draconic form to grow her power. She becomes more temperamental and spiteful as she leans into her dragon side, and foes will tremble when she transforms fully and lays waste to all around her!*
### Battle Supplies

*Maleficent’s staff is imbued with powerful magic, including the ability to conjure powerful lightning attacks. Her draconic armor is a terrifying array of impenetrable scales, leathery wings, and fearsome spines.*
### Mirrorverse Abilities

*Summoning dragonfire and commanding lightning with her magic staff, this villainous sorceress has a capacity for destruction few Guardians can match. Maleficent inflicts massive damage over time through fire, lightning, and dark curses, then quickly dispatches weakened foes with her merciless finishers.*
## Design

“*In the Mirrorverse, Maleficent discovers that Stellar Magic has actually weakened her. Channeling transformation magic to maintain her power, she unleashes raw, untamed chaos in her draconic form to sear her enemies with fire and lightning! Now she's harnessed and consolidated her magic so often that she remains trapped in a state between sorceress and dragon, but the more draconic she grows, the more temperamental and spiteful she becomes...*”
―*The World of Disney Mirrorverse,* pg.37

Maleficent was designed to be halfway between fae and dragon, bringing in both of her iconic designs to the Mirrorverse. Thus, her scales are not technically armor; she has a dragon's spine, cloak wings as well as larger wings, and scaley chest plate. She also wields both magical staff and dragon flame to "command the powers of hell!"
