She is an evil fairy who made her first appearance in Disney's ''{{w|Sleeping Beauty (1959 film)|Sleeping Beauty}}''. She seeks to gain control over all the [[world]]s and spread [[darkness]] throughout them. She is introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' as the leader of a band of villains from multiple worlds who seek to conquer Kingdom Hearts and thus rule all worlds. To this end, they assist the [[Heartless]] in capturing the seven [[Princesses of Heart]] and devouring the hearts of the worlds. However, [[Sora]] and his allies manage to thwart her plans by defeating her cohorts and eventually the witch herself. Other games in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series depict her initial rise to power and her later attempts to regain it, and while other Disney antagonists rarely have any significance outside of their original worlds, Maleficent's influence almost always extends throughout the worlds. | ||

=== ''Kingdom Hearts | === ''Kingdom Hearts χ'' === | ||
On the sixteenth anniversary of cursing [[Aurora]], Maleficent is informed by | On the sixteenth anniversary of cursing [[Aurora]], Maleficent is informed by [[Maleficent's Raven|her raven]] about seeing the magic of [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]] coming from a cottage in the Glen. Elated, Maleficent works to ensure her curse comes to pass. After the fairies leave a heartbroken Aurora in her room, Maleficent hypnotizes her into following a sphere of fire to a hidden tower room. Both the fairies and the Player look for her, with the Player nearly catching up to Aurora. Maleficent appears before the Player and summons the [[Thorned Snake]] to keep them occupied. Maleficent summons a spinning wheel and compels Aurora to prick her finger on it, allowing her curse to put her to sleep. She lingers longer enough to taunt the fairies for their failure, before leaving to capture the man Aurora had fallen in love with; Aurora will sleep for eternity. | ||
Hiding in the cottage, Maleficent ends up capturing [[Prince Phillip]], much to her own surprise. She locks him in the dungeon of her castle, revealing she will let him out in a century, so he may wake Aurora, but never have a life with her. The Player and the fairies free Phillip, allowing him to escape the castle. Maleficent creates a forest of thorns around King Stephan's castle, slowing the prince down. Confronting Phillip on the bridge outside the castle, Maleficent transforms into a giant dragon to kill him. However, Phillip manages to briefly knock her out with the Player's help. Maleficent awakens, disarming the Player, forcing the fairies to bless Phillip's blade; he tosses into Maleficent's heart, causing her to evaporate into darkness. | |||
Maleficent | |||
Sometime later, the future Maleficent attempt to travel back into the past of her world in order to undo her mistakes and failures. However, she instead ends up in the data simulation of [[Enchanted Dominion]] created by the [[Book of Prophecies]]. Unaware of this, Maleficent is confused by [[Pete]]'s absence, but is confident [[Sora]] can't interfere with this world. After failing to alter her past, Maleficent seethes with anger over it. An unknown figure appears before her, revealing that this is a trap created by the [[Master of Masters]] to prevent anyone from changing what was written in the book. It also reveals the laws of time travel; there must have been a version of herself back where she wanted to go. It was only thanks to her meeting [[Master Xehanort]] and getting stabbed by the [[Keyblade of heart]] that she was able to accomplish this much. However, as her presence would cause problems, the figure prepares to send her back to her original time. | |||
===Between ''Kingdom Hearts χ'' and ''Birth by Sleep''=== | |||
Maleficent was already known and feared throughout Enchanted Dominion as a sorceress that was not to be angered. Despite not being invited to the celebration of Princess Aurora's birth, she attended anyway and gave the infant princess a special "gift": on her sixteenth birthday, Aurora would prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. However, Merryweather altered this curse so that, instead of dying, Aurora would simply fall into a deep sleep until kissed by her true love. Together, [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather|the three good fairies]] raised the princess in the woods, out of the reach of Maleficent and her [[Maleficent's goons|lackeys]]. | |||

Terra enters the castle and finds Aurora asleep in her room, where Maleficent appears to him again and tells him of the seven hearts of pure light that grant the power to rule all worlds and mentions the Keyblade. She offers to tell Terra about Xehanort if he steals Aurora's heart for her, but he refuses. Annoyed by his defiance, Maleficent uses her magic to "whisper" to the darkness in Terra's heart and put him into a trance. Using Terra as an extension of her will, Maleficent uses his Keyblade to extract Aurora's heart. Once Terra snaps out of it and realizes what he has done, Maleficent informs him that she does not know where Xehanort went as he vanished into darkness. | Terra enters the castle and finds Aurora asleep in her room, where Maleficent appears to him again and tells him of the seven hearts of pure light that grant the power to rule all worlds and mentions the Keyblade.

However, Terra flatly declines, just as the castle begins shaking due to a giant [[Wheel Master|Unversed]]. She warns that he cannot suppress his darkness by force before she leaves.

Maleficent confronts them when they reach the bridge to the castle, surrounding the castle with thorns before claiming that Terra willingly embraced the darkness and transforms into a dragon. After a fierce battle, Prince Phillip throws his enchanted sword at Maleficent; the blade pierces the evil fairy's heart, and she falls in defeat. Returning to her normal form, Maleficent is confronted by Aqua, who tells her that it was the power of true love that led to her downfall. The sorceress departs, but not before telling the Keyblade Master that she will not be defeated by something as insignificant as love and as long as there is light, there will be darkness. | Maleficent confronts them when they reach the bridge to the castle, surrounding the castle with thorns before claiming that Terra willingly embraced the darkness and transforms into a dragon.

When Pete begins to rant, Maleficent silences him; she means that the box does not exist ''yet''. Her confused lackey wonders if that's a riddle, asking where they are supposed to be looking. Maleficent explains that a new [[Keyblade War]] is upon them; [[Seven Guardians of Light|light]] and [[Real Organization XIII|darkness]] are about to clash. No matter who wins this war, the box will be revealed. Pete is left disappointed, wondering when he'll have his big moment; Maleficent assures him that he will have it soon, but first they must wait for the second Keyblade War to conlude. | ||
In the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Maleficent and Pete | In the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Maleficent and Pete arrive following the second Keyblade War. They spot a figure in a black coat in the distance with the Black Box claiming [[No Name|Xehanort's Keyblade]]. Before they could go steal the box from him, the figure summoned four of the five foretellers ([[Invi]], [[Aced]], [[Ira]] and [[Gula]]) to join him. The figure turned out to Xigbar, who was the current incarnation of [[Luxu]]. Seeing they were outnumbered, Maleficent and Pete took their leave, but now knew the identity of the person who guarded the box. | ||

Maleficent is a scheming, manipulative, and | {{Q|Ahh... The truth can be most cruel, even amongst the closest of friends. After all, one never knows the secrets of another's heart. I'm sure you'll agree... Ventus... Aqua...}} | ||
Maleficent is a scheming, manipulative, and cunning sorceress who seems utterly determined to take over the dominion of Kingdom Hearts. She is mostly seen in a cool, calculated manner, easily manipulating Riku into helping her aims, claiming she views him like a long lost son, while she pretends to care about helping him find [[Kairi]]. Maleficent is a very dramatic villain, often shouting at the heroes about the power of darkness and making eccentric speeches. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', she is determined to avenge her previous defeat at Sora's hand. She doesn't tolerate failure, as shown when she berates Pete for his attempt to take over Kingdom Hearts without her. | |||

Despite this, she seems to tolerate the | Despite this, she seems to tolerate the incompetent Pete as her helper. She is not without scruples, however, and has aided Sora on some occasions, yet, for her own evil reasons. She also did not lie when she told Aqua that Terra was being affected by the darkness. By the time of ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', she appears to have reverted to her evil nature and is once again attempting to destroy Sora, albeit a digital version of him. However, after she is rescued by Data-Riku, she stops her attempts to eliminate him (at least for the time being), telling Sora that they are "now even". In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', even though she does not encounter Sora, Maleficent again appears with malicious intentions and tries to take over the datascape. | ||

This is readily apparent in nearly every instance in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' whenever the subject of [[Nobody|Nobodies]] and [[Organization XIII]] is brought up and when facing them personally. Maleficent's narcissism extends to any Heartless she commands, despite the all-too-obvious difference in power and capabilities of Nobodies in general over the Heartless. | ||
However, her superiority complex is not entirely unfounded as she is easily one of the most powerful characters in the series, her magic rivaled only by Master Xehanort's. Thus, her views of the Organization as insignificant could be, to her, quite true. Ironically, the Organization seems to view her the same way that she views them: as a relatively insignificant threat, shown when [[Saïx]] calmly summons some Nobodies to destroy Maleficent's Heartless and smugly calls her a fool.

Appearing unexpectedly at Princess Aurora's birth ceremony, she was greatly angered upon not receiving an invitation to the occasion. Hiding this behind a calm demeanor, she then proceeds to give the infant a "gift" in the form of a curse, saying that she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday and die. King Stefan attempted to have his guards seize her at that moment, but she escapes through her mastery over dark magic. Fearful for his daughter's life despite the fact that Merryweather's gift for the child will cause Aurora not to die but sleep should she prick her finger, King Stefan then issues a decree that all spinning wheels in the kingdom are to be burned. In a last attempt to delay Maleficent's curse and prevent Aurora from pricking her finger, the Three Good Fairies decide to take her into the woods to live and be raised as a peasant in an abandoned cottage once belonging to a woodcutter until after the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday. The fairies succeed in keeping the girl's location and identity a secret, and an enraged Maleficent sends her loyal raven Diablo to search for the girl, after her minions fail her. | ||
Diablo discovers Aurora's whereabouts, and Maleficent then lures the girl to a spinning wheel upon her return to King Stefan's castle. Aurora pricks her finger, and then Maleficent departs for the old woodcutter's cottage, aiming to capture the princess's betrothed, Prince Phillip, who intends to meet the peasant girl that was Aurora there. Capturing the prince, Maleficent then places him in her dungeon, intending to keep him there for 100 years. However, Prince Phillip escapes Maleficent's clutches with the help of Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, while the witch attempts to stop him from reaching Aurora's sleeping form and King Stefan's castle with a forest of thorns. As Phillip cuts through them, a desperate Maleficent appears before him. Transforming into a mighty dragon, she then engages the prince in a climatic battle. In the end, Maleficent is stabbed in the heart by the Sword of Truth, with Prince Phillip going on to awaken and marry Aurora. | Diablo discovers Aurora's whereabouts, and Maleficent then lures the girl to a spinning wheel upon her return to King Stefan's castle.
