The Fairy Godmothers Who Protected Aurora
In the classic Sleeping Beauty (1959), the fairy godmothers Flora, Fauna and Merryweather play an essential role in the story, ensuring the protection of Princess Aurora against Maleficent's terrible curse. To save the young girl, they raise her in secret in the forest, far from the castle, under the name Briar Rose.
Each fairy has a distinct personality: Flora, dressed in red, is the leader and the most determined; Fauna, in green, is sweet and affectionate; and Merryweather, in blue, is cheerful but a little absent-minded. Together, they do everything they can to keep Aurora safe, but ultimately fail when the prophecy is fulfilled and the princess falls into an enchanted sleep.
Determined to stop Maleficent, the fairies help Prince Philip, freeing him from captivity and granting him magical weapons - a shield of virtue and an enchanted sword. With these gifts, Philip defeats the villain, restoring peace to the kingdom.
