Yes, it's only in my dreams. But, they say if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true. And I've seen him so many times.
~ Aurora

Princess Aurora (also known as Sleeping Beauty, Briar Rose or simply Aurora for short) is the titular protagonist in Disney's 16th full-length animated film of 1959, Sleeping Beauty.

As the only daughter of King Stefan and Queen Leah, she was cursed by the evil Maleficent to die on her sixteenth birthday by pricking her finger on the spinning wheel. Due to the efforts of the Three Good Fairies, the curse was altered, so that Aurora will only remain a sleep until True Love's Kiss. She is the third Disney Princess in the official lineup.

In the original animated film, she was voiced by Mary Costa and was modeled by the late Helene Stanley, who also modeled Cinderella and later Anita in 101 Dalmatians. In other media, she has been voiced by Erin Torpey, Jennifer Hale, and Kate Higgins.

Her Good Ranking[]

Her Heroic Deeds[]

1959 Film[]

  • She is a kind and loyal woman to everyone, including her family, Fairy Godmothers, and her subjects.
  • Despite being annoyed of being treated a like a child, she is still obedient to her Fairy Godmothers.
  • After falling for Prince Phillip, she tried to invite him to her sixteenth birthday party.
  • Though no avail, she resisted at touching the spinning wheel by the fairies' orders.
  • After being freed by Phillip, they reunited with their respective parents that were also freed by her husband.
  • In Disney Princess Enchanted Tales Follow Your Dreams, she temporarily rules the kingdom while her parents, Prince Phillip, and King Hubert go out of town for a Royal Conference.
  • When Stefan's majordomo, Lord Duke, gets into several accidents or becomes too worried when things go wrong, she shows concern to him and informs him to calm down.
  • After accidentally causing trouble with her inexperience of magic, she manages to stay calm and decided to give the cows to the villagers.
  • She plans a royal banquet for her parents, King Hubert, Prince Phillip, the Fairies and Duke.

Sofia the First[]

TBA

Kingdom Hearts[]

TBA

Ralph Breaks the Internet[]

  • She was very kind to Vanellope when she glitched into the Disney Princesses' room.
  • She helped save Wreck-It Ralph from falling after he defeated Arthur.

Why She Doesn't Stand Out?[]

  • She doesn’t pass the general or in-story standards for several reasons:
    • She contributes very little to the original film's plot, as it focuses more on not only with the Three Good Fairies, but also with Maleficent and Prince Phillip.
    • As kind as she is, she still fails to do anything heroic in the original as she spends some time in the film being asleep until the end after Maleficent's own demise.
      • On top of that, she also has the role of a a helpless and passive damsel-in-distress who wanted to marry a prince and barely did anything admirable.
    • While this is a nice gesture, her kind and nice traits only pertain to bog-standard acts of kindness, causing her to fail the admirable standards too much to her husband and her three fairy godmothers, as they all played heroic roles in defeating Maleficent and saving the whole kingdom, including Aurora, her parents, and King Hubert.
    • The only thing she does in the original was being kind to her animal friends and obedient to her adopted "aunts". While this is a nice gesture, this is still not heroic enough as it also relies on bog-standard acts of kindness.
    • Her saving Wreck-It Ralph from his fall was shared with the other Disney Princesses.

Trivia[]

  • She was originally thought to be Pure Good; but as the general standards changed overtime, it was discovered that most of the factors Aurora have doesn't qualify enough to stand out, since being friendly and nice isn't exactly heroic.
    • As a result, this makes her and Snow White the only two Disney Princesses to be Heroic Benchmark.
  • Even though this version of Aurora is Heroic Benchmark, her live action counterpart is considered Pure Good due to her being more proactive rather than being just a damsel in distress.
  • She is one of few main protagonists who fails the admirable standards too much, such as Sophiana or Thumbelina.
