Protagonist Journey to Villain: Fairest of All for the Queen, the first two acts of The Beast Within for the Beast (the final act is his Redemption Quest), Mistress of All Evil for Maleficent, and Mother Knows Best for Gothel. The story’s been told and retold in all kinds of ways. The mergirl always wants more than her own world is able to offer. And her dad demands that she lives within the confines of his domain. Ariel’s rebelliousness costs the tiny mermaid her own voice and almost her soul, too. The power of good is able to prevail, and Ariel is able to emerge unchanged and proud. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Princess Tulip regards Circe saving her from Ursula's bargain as this, because she'd come to believe Beauty Is Bad and was looking forward to being loved for herself. There are several other jewelry and items, that have not yet been identified, though through guessing includes, Jafar's jewel turban, Madame Medusa's earrings.

Adaptational Nice Guy: In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs she's just plain evil and it's assumed that she was always a bitter step-mother. The Perspective Flip in the book shows that she used to be a nice woman and a good step-mother, but she was corrupted over time. Even then, she comes off as overprotective of Snow instead of purely resentful and she only grows to truly hate her due to a potion's influence. Death Is a Sad Thing: She doesn't initially understand what the Queen means when she says that her father can't ever come home again. Karmic Transformation: Ursula transforms the people of Ipswitch into Half-Human Hybrid sea monsters as punishment for turning upon her when she was revealed as a sea creature. Meaningful Name: The fairies named her after Mars because he's a chaotic god of destruction and Saturn because of its "unfavorable influence". Early on it was an Ironic Name, but Maleficent grew into her name.
