ā€œ Fairy Godmother: It's time to stop living in a fairy tale, Shrek. She's a princess, and you're an ogre. That's something no amount of potion is ever going to change.
Shrek: But I love her.
Fairy Godmother: If you really love her... you'll let her go.
ā€ž
~ The Fairy Godmother cajoling Shrek to relinquish Fiona.
ā€œ I told you ogres don't live happily ever AFTER! ā€ž
~ The Fairy Godmother telling Shrek that he and his kind cannot live happily ever after before attempting to destroy Shrek, as well as her last words before her death.

The Fairy Godmother is the main antagonist of DreamWorks' Shrek franchise.

Just like in her origin story, she is a magical fairy. However, her personality is different from her classic counterpart's personality. She originally made a deal with King Harold to have Charming rescue Fiona from the Dragon's Keep and free her from the curse which makes her turn into an ogress by night, but her plans were foiled when Shrek and Donkey rescued Fiona before Charming could arrive. She is the mother of Prince Charming.

She was voiced by Jennifer Saunders.

Her Evil Ranking[]

Her Villainous Deeds[]

  • She made a deal with King Harold and Queen Lillian that she would keep Fiona locked away in a tower guarded by a dragon and that only Prince Charming will rescue her on the condition of helping break her curse. This makes her indirectly responsible for the deaths of dozens of knights who would try to come and rescue her.
    • Despite the Fairy Godmother not being aware of the deaths that she had caused, it is still made 100% clear that she knowingly endangered the lives of Fiona as well as anyone who tried to rescue her by imprisoning her in a tower guarded by a dragon.
    • Itā€™s heavily implied she was the one who cursed Fiona in the first place.
  • She tricked Fiona into thinking that Prince Charming was Shrek and manipulated the real Shrek into thinking that Fiona does not love him and that he needs to let her go, not caring about how he would feel about this.
  • She threatened to undo Harold's transformation and turn him back into a frog if he didn't comply with her and have Fiona marry Prince Charming.
  • She created a love potion to have Fiona forcibly fall in love with Prince Charming, mentioning that she has done it many times before. This would basically be the magical equivalent of having Harold, who objected, give his own daughter a date-rape drug.
  • When she caught Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots overhearing their plans, she incriminated them by labeling them as bandits and thieves, causing them to be arrested as a result.
  • When Shrek arrives to reunite with Fiona, she tried to kill him only for King Harold to jump in the way and reflect her magic back onto herself, causing her to accidentally kill herself in the aftermath.
  • She was indirectly responsible for Charming's take over in the third movie as he did all that in her honor.

Why She Doesn't Stand Out?[]

  • While her imprisoning Fiona in a tower guarded by a dragon caused dozens of knights to get killed, there is no indication she knew that would happen and likely just wanted to send her son Prince Charming to come and rescue Fiona, making this unintentional with the rest of her villainy amounting to ā€œkill the heroā€ villainy, making her bog-standard.
  • She fails the heinous standards to Rumpelstiltskin who enslaved countless ogres and took over Far Far Away in a hostile fashion, Big Jack Horner who had his own henchmen killed in progressively brutal ways and tried to drain the world of magic with the Wishing Star, and Humpty Alexander Dumpty who nearly got all of San Ricardo destroyed, all of whom have lower resources.
  • She truly cares for her son, Prince Charming throughout her interactions with him.
  • She has some minor comedic moments that detract from her villainy, such as the song she sings to Fiona, her interrupting her son's speech about his journey to the tower so she can give it herself, and having her cart go to a drive-thru saying her diet is ruined.
  • She has a Pet the Dog moment where she asks Harold if he wanted anything to eat while ordering from a restaurantā€™s drive-thru without any pragmatic reason, showing she at least has some decency.

Trivia[]

  • It is commonly theorized that the Fairy Godmother was actually the witch that cursed Fiona to turn into an ogre as part of her plot for Charming to marry her. Should this be confirmed, it would make her even worse and she could easily be promoted to Near Pure Evil. This would also make her the main antagonist of the Shrek franchise as a whole.
    • According to the script for the first Shrek film, the unidentified witch's full name is Dama Fortuna, which, suspiciously, is also the Fairy Godmother's real name.
  • Fairy Godmother, along with Prince Charming, were originally intended to return in Shrek Forever After in Rumpelstiltskin's alternate timeline, as they never died in that timeline as Shrek was never born. However, they were scrapped for unknown reasons. Had she been kept, it is unknown if it would've affected her VB status.
