Personality[]
Fairy Godmother is a wise, kind, and accepting teacher at Auradon Prep school. She accepted Ben's proclamation of giving the new generation a chance. She tried her best to be patient with them and even gave them the opportunity to speak to their parents. She also tried to defend them on family day and trusted Mal to give her back the wand, being extremely proud when she and the other VKs did so and turned good. She can be strict especially with her daughter. She has given up magic and believes it is what is in the inside that counts. Jane mentions her mother believes the true magic comes from knowledge and books. Despite having given up on magic, she gets annoyed when the villains insult her magic.
Fairy Godmother as she appears originally in Cinderella.
After Cinderella's stepsisters destroy her dress to go to the ball at the palace, the Fairy Godmother appears before her to help her. With her magic words, "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", the Fairy Godmother turned a pumpkin into a carriage, as well as turning Cinderella's animal friends into horses and servants. After that, the Fairy Godmother gave Cinderella a dress for the dance and some glass shoes, but she warned her that at midnight the spell would be broken and everything would return to normal.
At some point after Auradon was founded 20 years ago, Fairy Godmother became the headmistress of Auradon Prep and has a daughter named Jane who is shy and insecure but fascinated with magic, even if she doesn't let her daughter use it. When the descendants of the heroes' sworn enemies come to Auradon, they have been tasked by their parents to steal her magic wand. The Fairy Godmother teaches "Remedial Goodness" to the villain kids to teach them how to be good. As noted by Jane who explains to Mal, Fairy Godmother believes that the real magic is found within books but also noted by Jane, she refers to ordinary books that have nothing magical about them. During the family event, she arranged a video call so the VKs can speak to their parents she becomes defensive when Maleficent taunts her by saying "the hamsters had to be back on their little wheels?" telling the villain they were mice, she tells this to the four VKs and remarks one more time to the villains that they were mice she changed before standing to the side of the screen not wanting to deal with them any further but also to give the villains time to speak to their kids
Despite her younger appearance in the film, Cruella refers to her as "old bat".
During the beginning scene, she chases away the press from Ben and Mal. They thank her and she disappears. She is heard planning the Royal Cotillion with Jane on the phone on multiple occasions.
At the cotillion, she asks Jane to help out with the punch bowl but is surprised and excited to find out she has a date. She reacts touched and happy when she finds out it is Carlos De Vil, exclaiming: "Bippity boppity!"
Later, Ben and Uma ask her rather forcefully to shut down the Isle of the Lost's barrier but she refuses, knowing that Ben is cursed along with being appalled by both letting loose all of the captured villains and Uma's rudeness. After Uma is defeated and Ben's spell is broken, she takes in Mal's spellbook and starts celebrating with Lumiere.
