Fairy godmother
Many other supernatural patrons feature in fairy tales; these include various kinds of animals and the spirit of a dead mother.[3] Typically, the fairy godmother's protégé is a prince or princess, who is the protagonist of the story, and the godparent uses her magic to help or otherwise support them.Indeed, the fairy godmothers were added to The Sleeping Beauty by Perrault; no such figures appeared in his source, "Sun, Moon, and Talia" by Giambattista Basile.Likewise, in The White Doe, the fairy godmother helps the evil princess get revenge on the heroine.Fairy godmothers appear frequently in fairytale fantasy, especially comic versions and retellings of Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.
