Origin

The Pixies' origin isn't revealed, but It's possible that they originated from the Moors.

Powers and Abilities

• Magic: The Pixies possesses several magical powers:
  • Magical Gifts Granting: In order to spread peace, the Pixies went to the baby Aurora's christening and granted her magical gifts. Knotgrass wished for the baby the gift of beauty, Flittle wished that every day of her life would be filled with happiness, but when Thistlewhit was about to grant Aurora's gift, Maleficent came and interrupted her. Thistlewit's gift was that she would find true love but she didn't have enough time to grant it.
  • Human Form Transformation: When King Stefan entrusted Aurora's safety to the Pixies, they saw that they needed a proper disguise, so the three fairies used their magical powers and turned themselves into humans.
  • Atmokinesis: It's presumed that the Pixies have this ability because when Maleficent used her magical powers to cause a downpour in the the three Pixies' house, Knotgrass, while raining in their house, told Flittle and Thistlewit to stop causing the downpour, unaware that Maleficent was doing it.

Role In Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil

The Three Fairies cheer with excitement as Prince Phillip proposes to Aurora. Later, they and all the residents of the Moors are invited to the wedding. They get trapped in the chapel and are attacked with red metal dust released by Gerda that strips the creatures of their magic and sentience. Flittle sacrifices herself by going inside the organ and stopping the flow of dust, and Knotgrass and Thistlewit avenge her by making Gerda fall to her presumed death when she tries to get the organ working again.

Notes

• The Pixies's names are different from the 1959 Sleeping Beauty film. Flora is Knotgrass, Merryweather is Flittle and Fauna is Thistlewit.
• Earlier concepts also had the names of the fairies as Fernadell, Merryweather, and Tranquility, each connected to certain aspects. Fernadell represented the forest, Merryweather the elements and weather, and Tranquility dreams.
