**Fairy Godmother** is one of the main characters of the Disney Channel Original Movie, *Descendants*. She is one of the heroes and she is also the mother of Jane. She is the headmistress of Auradon Prep. She accepts the children of the Isle of the Lost into Auradon Prep and teaches them Remedial Goodness 101 lessons. She is the loving mother of Jane, Preston and Penelope Pan and the loving wife of Peter Pan.

Fairy Godmother is played by Melanie Paxson.

## 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. Fairy Godmother is a symbol for good for any disney character in need of her help.

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!"

## Before Auradon

### Cinderella

She appears when Cinderella was crying outside after Anastasia and Drizella destroyed her ball dress. She then gives Cinderella a new beautiful dress and glass slippers. She turns Jaq and Gus, and two other mice into horses and then turns Bruno into a footman and finally turns an old pumpkin into a carrier. She then reminds Cinderella that she needs to return home at 12:00 am since the magic that the Fairy Godmother did could only be in progress until midnight.

## History

### *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.
