Fan Casting Maleficent in Disney Characters

Maleficent is the main antagonist of Disney's 1959 animated feature film Sleeping Beauty. She is a powerful dark fairy and the incarnation of pure evil, who is responsible for all the misfortune in King Stefan's kingdom. Taking offense at not being invited to the christening of Stefan's daughter, Princess Aurora, Maleficent casts a curse on her, predicting that the princess will die from pricking her finger on a spinning wheel's spindle before sunset on her sixteenth birthday. Maleficent spends the following years making sure that her evil prophecy is fulfilled so that she can plunge the kingdom into sorrow and despair for good. Maleficent is a tall and slender woman with pale green skin, a narrow face, and a prominent chin. She appears to be the tallest character in the cast of Sleeping Beauty, as evidenced by the christening scene, with King Stefan only being able to stand eye-to-eye with her while atop the throne steps. She also has yellow eyes and large black horns (it is unknown if they are part of her body or a headdress), which symbolize her nature as an agent of the forces of evil.
