User blog:Kabuto Origami/Pure Good Removal Proposal: Aurora (Disney)

Aurora was recently approved as Pure Good but there's one problem with her credentials that was largely overlooked during that discussion.

Who is she?
Princess Aurora (also known as Briar Rose) is the titular protagonist of Disney's 1959 animated feature film, Sleeping Beauty. She is the daughter of King Stefan and Queen Leah. On the day of her christening, Aurora was cursed to die by the evil fairy Maleficent. Due to the efforts of three good fairies, the curse was altered to draw Aurora into a deep sleep that can only be broken by true love's kiss. Aurora is the third official member of the Disney Princess line-up, and is significant for being the last to be developed during Walt Disney's lifetime.

Why she doesn't qualify
This issue was pointed out by Queen Misery during the previous discussion, she doesn't have enough heroic actions to make the cut. She wanders around the forest talking to animals, falls for Prince Phillip, and gets sent into a magically induced coma for the rest of the film. When compared with the aforementioned Philip, who fights his way through Maleficent's forces to rescue her, or the three fairies, who kept Aurora safe from Maleficent for 16 years and help Philip with the above, she kind of falls short. There's a picture book called Maleficent's Revenge where she does more, but I'm not sure if it's canon.

The Final Verdict
I feel she falls short of being Pure Good for the same reason Maleficent falls short of being Pure Evil, she has the personality, but not the deeds. Her live action counterpart is a better example since she has much the same personality and she does more.
