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|goons]]. | Maleficent was already known and feared throughout Enchanted Dominion as a sorceress that was not to be angered.

The darkness born from Hoder's brother [[Baldr]] finishes the wielders off, although the spirits of these departed wielders still believe that they had fallen to Maleficent. {{Storylink|Kingdom Hearts Dark Road}} | ||
Shortly before Aurora's sixteenth birthday, Maleficent finds the princess and ensured her curse came to fruition. Flora cast a spell to put everyone to sleep in the castle, as to cover the blunder until Aurora could be awoken. | Shortly before Aurora's sixteenth birthday, Maleficent finds the princess and ensured her curse came to fruition.

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.

Maleficent offers Terra the chance to join her and collect the remaining six hearts of pure light. 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. After Terra slays the Unversed, Maleficent watches him leave, noting that the search for the six hearts of pure light will take some time. | Maleficent offers Terra the chance to join her and collect the remaining six hearts of pure light.

Unaware of this, Maleficent is confused by [[Pete]]'s absence, but is confident [[Sora]] cannot interfere with this world. After failing to alter her past, Maleficent seethes with anger over it. An unknown figure known simply as {{c|Darkness|character}} 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. | ||
The two then travel the Dandelions' base in Daybreak Town, where the dark figure reveals the location of the key that will bring Maleficent back to her true world is. Darkness leads her to the lifeboat, a capsule that will send her heart to her proper time; once there, those who know of Maleficent will facilitate the restoration of her body. They are interrupted by [[Lauriam]], who Maleficent defeats so she can steal her way back home. | The two then travel the Dandelions' base in Daybreak Town, where the dark figure reveals the location of the key that will bring Maleficent back to her true world is.

Maleficent and Pete survive the destruction of the Castle That Never Was, and Maleficent returns to plotting her conquest of the worlds. She sends Pete to Disney Castle to spy on King Mickey, and when [[Data-Riku]] transports Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and [[Jiminy Cricket]] into the [[Datascape]], Pete gets pulled in as well, appearing in a hub between the data worlds. He calls Maleficent, who uses her magic to enter as well. Despite her unfamiliarity with the concept of computers and computer data, she and Pete decide to conquer the data worlds, immersing them in darkness, and then use the link to the castle to overrun it with Heartless. She tasks Pete with interfering with the data worlds, and he cuts the link to the real world, trapping Mickey and the others. | Maleficent and Pete survive the destruction of the Castle That Never Was, and Maleficent returns to plotting her conquest of the worlds.

After [[Data-Sora]] corners Pete in the digital version of [[Agrabah]], Maleficent appears before him. Although she cannot differentiate between him and his real-world counterpart, she destroys his digital Keyblade, recognizing it as a fake. When Data-Riku tries to attack her, the evil fairy subdues him and takes him along, saying he will be "useful". She and Pete corrupt Riku with [[Bug Blox]], forcing him to fight Sora in the data Hollow Bastion. After Sora debugs Riku's data from within, Maleficent attempts to trap him by closing the connection to the outside. Sora escapes, however, and he defeats Maleficent in her dragon form. She disappears, vowing to conquer all worlds. | After [[Data-Sora]] corners Pete in the digital version of [[Agrabah]], Maleficent appears before him.

Having lost her opportunity to take the [[Datascape]] for her plans, Maleficent decided to instead look for a genuine [[Book of Prophecies]]. Learning of the ancient [[Black Box]], Maleficent believed that only the fabled book could be locked inside of it.<!--cite to ultimania -- Nomura confirms she believes this, but NOT that she's right--> Thus she began going world to world, inquiring if such a box existed. | Having lost her opportunity to take the [[Datascape]] for her plans, Maleficent decided to instead look for a genuine [[Book of Prophecies]].

Maleficent and Pete travel to [[Mount Olympus]] to meet with Hades, who is planning his conquest of that world along with the Titans. Maleficent assures him that she is not going to interfere with his plans and asks Hades if there is a distinctive Black Box on Mount Olympus, and where it might be found. Hades then thinks they might be searching for the box [[Zeus]] hid in the ground, and reveals its location to them. Later, while Sora, Donald, and Goofy are fighting the Heartless in Thebes, Maleficent and Pete appears in front of them, prompting Sora to accuse them for being responsible for the Heartless, which Maleficent denies. Pete notices Sora seems weaker than the last time they faced him and suggests destroying him, but Maleficent tells him to leave Sora as he is inconsequential to them and that they have a more important affair to attend to, but not before telling them they will meet again. Maleficent and Pete later find Pandora's Box in the ground of Thebes, but Maleficent orders to Pete to throw it away since it is not the box they are searching for. They then leave that world, unaware that [[Xigbar]] is observing them from far. | Maleficent and Pete travel to [[Mount Olympus]] to meet with Hades, who is planning his conquest of that world along with the Titans.

She curses Sora with a deadly poison, forcing him to search the worlds for an antidote, and also conjures [[Sora's shadow]] to disrupt his efforts. When Sora finally makes it to her lair, [[Maleficent's Castle]], Maleficent steals his Keyblade and tricks Sora into activating a machine that will spread darkness throughout the worlds. Ultimately, Sora defeats Maleficent in her dragon form, deactivates the machine, and concocts the antidote, once again foiling Maleficent's evil scheme. | ||

Another important aspect of Maleficent's character is her superiority complex, which, while shared by many Disney Villains, she takes to the extreme. This is readily apparent in nearly every instance in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' whenever the subject of [[Nobodies]] and [[Organization XIII]] is brought up and when she faces 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. | Another important aspect of Maleficent's character is her superiority complex, which, while shared by many Disney Villains, she takes to the extreme.

However, her superiority complex is not entirely unfounded as she is easily one of the most | 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. In contrast to Pete, she possesses extreme and completely legitimate confidence, while her minion is a weakling and doubts their chances of success. Despite Ansem's claim that the Heartless were using Maleficent, Maleficent believes she has full command over them. | ||
Regardless, Maleficent can show caution and restraint. She never takes direct action against her enemies unless it’s absolutely necessary; instead, she leaves it to allies and minions. Maleficent never challenges a worthy foe unless she has the upper hand, like a hostage to use as a shield. Again, Maleficent shows caution by using an astral projection to check on the progress of her takeover of [[Disney Castle]], as the [[Cornerstone of Light]] is risky to her. | Regardless, Maleficent can show caution and restraint.

In terms of combat prowess, Maleficent is a fearsome opponent when in her dragon form. While she has proven her ability to defeat agents of light, killing four of [[Odin]]'s apprentices, she has been bested numerous times by other wielders of the Keyblade. | In terms of combat prowess, Maleficent is a fearsome opponent when in her dragon form.

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.
