Maleficent: The Angel of Music Characters
Reminder: this story is based off of the 2014 Maleficent movie, cameos from other disney movies and the story of Phantom of the Opera. I do not own any of these characters, except for the originals that I make if any. All other characters belong to Walt Disney and Story belongs to Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Maleficent: her character will be like the tragic anti-hero The Phantom, only she doesn't wear a mask, the spot where her wings grew is covered up by a cape. In this story, she is perceived as too lonely (of course Diaval is good company as a friend and confidant) all she wants is a family. So she decides to take Aurora as her daughter. Like the phantom was abandoned by his mother, Maleficent was abandoned by her lover King Stefan (still Auroras father) and then her mother for her loss of wings and so she has grown used to being lonely and somewhat bitter towards Stefans Kingdom.
Aurora: she is more or less the Christine of this story. By the time she is 16 she is working as a dancer in an opera house owned by her beloved aunties Flora, Fauna and Merryweather (yes I'm using the original names from the 1950's Sleeping Beauty, I just don't like the names in the 2014 film). She replaces the singer Karmilla in an opera and is lauded for extraordinary voice for someone so young and fair. For years she has been so oblivious to her "Fairy Godmother" up until one night when they meet each other for the first time. She is still unaware that she is a princess until her father comes to see her perform and he comes backstage to tell her of her upbringing.
Prince Philip: The Raoul of this story. In this version, he has known Aurora since they were young children, instead of when they were teenagers. Philip is seen as a lad who rushes into love, which Maleficent detests above anything else. He causes a rift between Maleficent and Aurora's mother-daughter relationship and for that she wishes to see him burn.
Flora & Fauna: They own the opera house as a means of housing Aurora and to draw off Maleficent. Their sister Merryweather serves as the choreographer of the opera house. While they are still loving by nature, they have become serious about their work at the opera house.
Merryweather: the Madame Giry of this story. She is the lead choreographer of the opera house that her sisters own. She is a kind but strict teacher to her dancers, especially to Aurora and Snow White her two prize pupils. Unbeknownst to her sisters, Merryweather shows some sympathy towards Maleficent and makes sure that box 5 is allowed for her use and that the underground is used for her chambers.
Snow White: The Meg Giry of this tale. Auroras very sweet childhood friend, with a pale complexion, red lips, dark hair and innocent brown puppy dog eyes. She is a very talented dancer and is more like a daughter to Merryweather, ever since she was abandoned by her cruel stepmother. She too knows of Maleficent's existence and can always tell when she is around.
Diaval: Maleficent's servant, a young man who has the ability to turn into anything that Maleficent or he so chooses, more often as a crow. Throughout the story he appears to be silent, up until the end where he comforts Maleficent.
King Stefan: a very disturbed king of a rich Kingdom. He appears as a very respected ruler in his kingdom but deep down he is actually quite mad. He was once Maleficents lover, but he turned against by clipping her of her wings. Now he wishes to find his daughter, because the fairies have kept Aurora from for fear that he's gone mad.
Queen Leila: Stefan's beautiful wife, who is the narrator of this tale of shadows. She is not seen till about the time that Stefan appears. She fears for her husbands sanity and for her daughters safety; she also has sympathy for Maleficent for her loneliness, but not for her apparent obsession of making Aurora her child.
Karmilla: the Prima Donna of the opera house. Like Carlotta from Phantom of the Opera, her voice is overbearing and her personality is unbearable. Her appearance somewhat resembles Ursula from "The Little Mermaid" and her goal is to be the lead in every Opera which is detested by Maleficent who thinks that Aurora should have her talent exposed.
Fabio: The leading tenor of the opera house. An egotistical, selfish and overweight performer. He is Karmilla's lover, just like Ubaldo is to Carlotta in the Phantom of the Opera. He somewhat resemble Governor Ratcliffe from the film Pocahontas.
