I didn't do much to Maleficent beyond painting her Princess Glow (iykyk) but I def did a lot of work to Aurora

Instead of working on my research essay, I've decided to work on less important things like writing drabble/head canons for an oc I just made up.

Imagine maleficents' daughter... (not yuu.) She's like her mother in a lot of ways, though she keeps both her horns and tail visible. When her mother was slain by Prince Philip, she killed the three good fairies and cursed Philips bloodline, while also killing philips father as further payback. She didn't have the heart to harm Aurora, having witnessed her grow and bumping into her in the woods while in human form. Draconia reader faked her death and created a family of her own with some rando fae man, birthing a daughter whom she loved more than anything. As her daughter grew, her grief of losing her own mother did as well. She had witnessed her tragic ending from her tower room. If only her mother hadn't locked her up there... She wanted to fight Philip with her.

Draconia reader who cursed herself into a deep sleep, to be awakened hundreds of years later by her great (however many years) grandson.

"My dearest Medallia, I write you one last letter. I do not know when I shall wake. I apologize for putting myself to sleep for as long as I plan. My grief is too much, and I feared I may do something far more drastic to myself. I apologize sincerely, for my resting may be worse than losing me to death. You are a strong and capable young lady. I have no doubt you will rule Briar Valley better than I ever could.

My heart aches with such intensity... reading my personal papers will tell you why. I do hope you will be breathing when I wake. I forget how long the spell said. A hundred years? Or was it seven?

Do forgive me, and never forget how much I love you.

My spawn, my rose, my dearest sweetest and only daughter,

Love, Mother."

As Medallia reads, the paper dampens with tears. She grows to resent her mother while attempting to wake her every so often. She is not strong enough to wake with magic, and mother does not budge when she moves her. In time, Medallia grays and forgets her mother's locked room high in the tower. The hallway is forbidden to enter for a thousand or more years. Medallia has children of her own, and those children have children. As Malleus grows, he often visits the forbidden hall that leads to the tallest tower of the castle. A looming painting covers the cobblestone wall, Maleficent, one of the Seven, his Greatxxxx Grandmother beside a young lady.

He has heard very little of Maleficents daughter. As if the woman disappeared. One gloomy day as his loved ones go off to battle, he absentmindedly wanders into the hall. He gathers the courage to climb the steep steps. His calves burn as he climbs. He reaches a door and opens it. It wasn't even locked? He thinks. He opens the door, it creaks. A thick layer of dust covers the wood furniture and cobwebs cover the ceiling and each corner of the room. On the bed lays what he imagines to be a perfectly intact corpse. It appears to be the young lady from the painting, only older. "That's odd..." Malleus speaks aloud. He steps closer, eyes widening in shock as notices the soft breathing of the woman. He reaches his hand to his face, feeling her breath before setting his hand on her forehead to feel if shes warm. She is, and her eyes open slowly. She lays groggily for a moment, collecting her bearings before slowly turning to him. Malleus steps back in shock in fear.

"H-how are you alive??" He shouts. "Loud..." She speaks, voice dry and cracked from lack of use. Malleus runs out of the room. He leans over at the end of the stairs heaving from running down the large steps. He could've teleported downstairs but was too in shock to think smarter. He believes his actions to have been considered rude. Her voice was off, perhaps she needs water? He grabs her a glass of water from the kitchen and in a poof of smoke, teleports to where she lays. "I see you've come back for me." She drinks the glass. "Thank you... that is much better. What is your name? Are you Medallia's son?"

"My name is Malleus Draconia, son of Maleanor Draconia. My mother is the princess of Briar Valley, daughter of Queen Maleficia Draconia. Who are you."

"Hm... It seems I rest for a long time. I have no doubt my daughter is... My name is ______, daughter of Maleficent."
