while simultaneously fighting an evil fairy-godmother-turned- Wicked Witch's plot.
In A Simple Wish, Martin Short plays Murray, the world's first and only fairy godfather, whose first assignment is to grant a little girl's wish that her father could get the lead role in a Broadway musical. In the original book, however, Mandy is Ella's actual Fairy Godmother, and she plays this straight, being a Cool Old Lady Lucinda just happened to be at the baptism. Deconstructed in Ella Enchanted, with a godmother who's a fairy but is inconspicuous about it, and another fairy who has a bad habit of going to the christenings of complete strangers and giving them magical gifts they don't want or need. 
She promises her three wishes, and while she doesn't have literal wish-granting magic, she still tries to make them come true. Queen Chrysalis called herself a fairy godmother to a younger Twilight in Love Bites.She grants them their wish to become more attractive, so that that they won't ever be looked down upon for their looks again.

Fairy godmother tycoon fractured tales series#
The entire series being what it is (a Lighter and Softer, somewhat nonsensical take on Dragon Age), this does not get resolved the way anyone expects.
In "The Adventures of Dodo and Ick," a Story Within a Story in the Skyhold Academy Yearbook series, the title characters end up taking on a number of overlapping Fetch Quests, one of which is to find a fairy godmother for the Rainbow Princess's unborn baby. Fortunately for the heroes, he becomes rather fond of them and finds ways to circumvent his own rules about favoritism. The Contractually Obligated Chaos series features the Fairy God father, a Marlon Brando expy who is not really a fairy, but a Lawful Neutral ghost with a lot of unusual powers even for the setting. The Great Disney Adventure Saga gives us Sophia, the fussiest fairy godmother ever. In " Heart of Ice (Andrew Lang)", Fairy Genesta raises and looks after Prince Mannikin until he has grown into a mature adult and become a good warrior and ruler. fortunately, the girl has a helpful aunt who is also a good fairy. Another French version of the Cinderella story has the Wicked Stepmother start out as the heroine's Fairy Godmother. Once again, some translations and retellings refer to her as her fairy godmother. In the Grimm's " The True Bride" ( link ), a mysterious fairy helps the heroine complete three Impossible Tasks demanded by her stepmother. Some translations and retellings refer to her as her fairy godmother. In the Grimms' " One Eye, Two Eyes, Three Eyes", the heroine, Two Eyes, is aided by a mysterious lady. This is also the case in early French versions. Deconstructed in the story of " Rapunzel", Dame Gothel, the witch who keeps Rapunzel prisoner, is not only her godmother (which is the actual meaning of "Dame Gothel"), but was a fairy in earlier versions, including the Grimm's original publication. Ironically, it does not help the heroine at all. 
In " Donkeyskin", the godmother delivers advice rather than gifts.This leads to the two princes killing each other in a duel. Hebe falls in love with a prince, but she ends up marrying another prince. Princess Hebe is blessed with all sorts of great gifts, but is warned that when she falls in love, the love will get out of control. Another de Murat fairy tale, "Anguillette", plays this trope tragically.In Henriette-Julie de Murat's literary fairy tale " Bearskin", the princess had a fairy godmother who is quite offended that she was not consulted about her goddaughter's marriage and so refuses to help for a time.Her story "Finette Cendroun" is an early Cinderella variant that plays the fairy godmother trope straight however, and even predates Perrault's use of the trope.Several fairy godmothers, including an evil one, appear in "Princess Mayblossom".In " The Blue Bird" and "The White Doe", the fairy godmothers help rivals of the protagonists.
Many variants - such as " Sun, Moon, and Talia", an older variant, and in fact the oldest known - have no fairy godmothers at all, however. However, after they made their initially good wishes, the fairies do never return to aid Sleeping Beauty (though the seventh fairy in Perrault's version puts the rest of the palace - except the king and queen - to sleep so the princess won't be lonely when she awakens).
In " Sleeping Beauty", she had seven, or twelve, in Charles Perrault or The Brothers Grimm respectively. In " Adalmina's Pearl", the princess has two. While most adaptations have the godmother appear out of nowhere, it is noteworthy to mention in the original Perrault text, she is literally Cinderella's godmother and actually seems to live with the family. Charles Perrault's " Cinderella" is probably the Trope Codifier.
