You can call her #Maleficent or #Henbane or #Hadeon but you can't deny that the #EvilFairy from #SleepingBeauty #TheSleepingBeautyintheWood has a certain style when it comes to evil sorcery and menace.

Blithe we wander, hand in hand."

For by that learning shall you get
To lands where Fairies may be me" - #AndrewLang
