Princess Audrey

"I'm sorry, I wanted to hurt you both, I wanted to hurt all of you."

- Audrey, in Descendants 3

Princess Audrey is a secondary antagonist and supporting character in the movie Descendants, the recurring secondary antagonist of Descendants: Wicked World and the main antagonist of Descendants 3, played by Sarah Jeffery. She is the daughter of Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip.

Audrey is the daughter of Aurora and Prince Phillip from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Naturally royal and extremely confident, she's the ex-girlfriend of Prince Ben and the cheerleading captain at Auradon Prep with a knack for fashion. She is also known to have been the most popular princess in school before Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay arrived. She's also best friends with Lonnie and Jane.

Descendants
When the children of the villains come to Auradon Prep, Audrey was the least accepting of the four, and especially suspicious of Mal, due to both the fact that Mal's mother, Maleficent, is Audrey's mother, Sleeping Beauty's, enemy, and Ben's attraction to Mal. At the Tourney game, Audrey was completely in dismay to hear that Ben has just dumped her for Mal and then uses Chad Charming to make Ben jealous. This fails.

On Family Day, Audrey's grandmother, Queen Leah, finds out that Maleficent's daughter has arrived in Auradon and is especially dismayed due to the haunting memories, with Chad adding to the scorn. The tension turns violent until Evie sprays him with a sleeping potion. Audrey then taunts Mal with Jane, prompting Mal to undo the magic she had previously performed on Jane to make her hair long and beautiful, to scare away her bullies. When Mal threatens to ruin Audrey's hair with her spellbook, Audrey runs away.

On Ben's coronation, Audrey stands on the sidelines and witnesses Mal convincing her friends to choose the side of good instead of evil and the defeat of her mother, Maleficent. She and Mal then bow to each other out of respect, with their parents' history finally behind their shoulders. She then participates in the after-party, singing "Set It Off" with her friends and dancing with Jay.

Descendants: Wicked World
Audrey returns in the animated short series Descendants: Wicked World, voiced by Sarah Jeffery who also portrayed her in the live-action film.

Unlike in the film series, she stays in Auradon following the events of Ben's coronation and is friends with Mal and Evie, even though their antics can sometimes get on her nerves. In addition, she is also jealous of how much attention the Villain Kids are getting.

Throughout the series, she has grown accustomed to being prone to magical mishaps, such as getting hit by exploding cupcakes or having her hair look awful by a failed magic makeover. She also is shown to be rule-abiding to a fault, refusing to partake in thievery and vandalism when dared. While being friends with the VKs, she ultimately begins to suspect them when a number of strange occurrences happened that all seem to point to the VKs, being one of the first to point fingers at them and claim they were up to something (alongside with Ally, Jane, and Jordan). However, she was later proven wrong as CJ revealed that she was the one who ruined everything and duped her, along with everyone else.

Though she becomes mistrustful of Mal in the second season due to her jewel being cursed and a new VK named Zevon, who crashed the Jewel-bile and stolen all of the VK's jewels while holding Jafar's Snake Staff, she eventually came to realize the context behind Mal's actions and openly apologizes to her, even revealing that she dedicated the Jewel-bile and her musical number to the VKs.

Descendants 2
Although Audrey doesn't appear in Descendants 2, she is mentioned various times. According to Jane, it's revealed that Audrey went on a spa vacation with Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. She is also mentioned when Chad Charming talks about who would like the name "King Chad," making him cry and get upset about the fact that she broke up with him. Later on, she calls Chad to tell him that she is waiting for him at Sherwood Forest to fix her broken-down carriage. It is revealed in Descendants 3, that Audrey is in summer school, implying that she left in the middle of the school year without finishing that year's education.

Descendants 3
When Ben proposes to Mal before the new VKs arrive, both her and her grandmother, Queen Leah, are not happy with the news or their future queen. After being scolded by her Grandmother, Audrey looks through old memories of her and Ben before Mal came. After realizing that she will never be queen, and earning her grandmother's scorn, she goes to the Museum of Cultural History to destroy the crown, but then she gets beckoned by Maleficent's Scepter, and gets lured in a way, and falls to the darkness. (  Queen of Mean  ). She then decides to get revenge at Mal, and she transports herself to Evie's Cottage and confronts Mal about how everything was perfect until she arrived. As Mal tries to talk to her, Audrey vengefully turns her into an old hag and leaves.

She then proceeds to attend Jane's birthday party and questions their loyalty to Mal despite all the drama that came with the VKs. Chad volunteers his services, saving himself for the time being, before she proceeds to put everyone at Jane's birthday party to sleep. Jane escapes the sleeping spell by staying under The Enchanted Lake. Audrey then goes to Ben and tries to win him over again but it doesn't work and she turns him into a beast in anger. Claiming sleep is too good for Auradon, she turns people into stone. Audrey takes Chad to Fairy Cottage where she expresses her fury at Mal's ability to break her spell and Uma's presence in Auradon. After having a mild fit of rage and unsettling Chad, Audrey decides to toy with the VKs. She controls the suits of armor in the castle to defeat Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Uma, Harry, and Gil, but they defeated the suits of armor together, much to her anger.

Having been watching the VKs, she angrily traps Chad in a closet after ignoring his pleas to reason with her. She traps the VKs inside Evie's Cottage until Uma and Mal break the spell using the ember and Ursula's Necklace, to her anger once more. The VKs search for her but she has mysteriously left the cottage and leaving Chad trapped inside. Audrey turns Ben, Evie, Jay, and Carlos into stone, which she had also done to Fairy Godmother, and captures Celia Facilier at the top of the school. She fights Mal, who has turned into her dragon form, with Maleficent's scepter, but Mal fights back with Hades' Ember, which had been powered by Uma. Audrey struggles against Mal and is ultimately defeated, knocking her unconscious and waking everyone up, and freeing those who had been turned into stone.

With the help of Hades, Mal's father, Audrey is awakened from her deep sleep. Freed from the corrupting influence Maleficent's scepter gave her, Audrey tearfully asks if it was all just a bad dream and apologizes to Mal and Ben for everything, who apologizes to her back, while Leah apologizes to Mal. Having turned good once again, Audrey celebrates as Mal takes down the Isle's barrier and creates a bridge from it to Auradon, singing and dancing with Chad, and then dances with Harry.

Personality
Audrey is an extremely vain girl who tends to over-worry and believes herself to be the most beautiful girl in school. When Mal gave other girls makeovers, she was upset, not because she believed Mal was up to something but because she didn't want anyone to rival her in appearance.

She was immediately uncomfortable with the idea of VKs coming, often criticizing them in private and in front of them. She believes that they're evil due to their parents' villainous acts without giving them a chance. She not only acts mean to the VKs, but to a few others as well, being very demanding and demeaning such as laughing at Jane over her ugly hair and preferring to be the center of attention. She hates looking imperfect and enjoys competition and taking selfies.

Even after accepting the VKs, she remained jealous of them because they were getting all the attention she's used to getting and having trouble trying to figure them out. She even disliked it when Evie won being Q.N.L.B. instead of herself and became suspicious of them when CJ committed a series of crimes around Auradon. She's quick to frame Mal for it, even blaming her when Ben started going missing.

Despite this, she does show a strong sense of morality, as she refused to steal on the Isle of the Lost in Episode 5 and even offered to help pay for a cup that Ben broke to prove the two could be bad, worriedly asking if they were going to go to jail. In addition, she does care about her friends, even though she comes off as rude. In most cases though, she is uptight and no-nonsense, having little patience for others' antics. This is taken further when she planned the Jewel-bile for the 5 VKs as a gift to their friendship and felt guilty for being unfair to Mal out over a misunderstanding.

Despite her vanity, Audrey has a great deal of empathy lying under the surface. After being released from the hold Maleficent's staff had on her and being awakened from her enchanted sleep by Hades, she was truly horrified by what she had done while under the influence of the staff, sincerely apologizing to Mal and Ben for everything she did to them.

Physical Appearance
Audrey is a teenage girl with tanned skin and brown eyes. In the first Descendants film and Descendants: Wicked World, Audrey had curly brown hair. In Descendants 3, she had blonde hair with hints of pink and light blue streaks. She had completely pink hair with blue streaks while in possession of Maleficent's scepter. Audrey, being Sleeping Beauty's daughter, always wears pink and fancy dresses. Audrey's outfit was a pink dress with a blue belt and golden swirls and a golden necklace in the first fim and Wicked World, and the outfit she wears on Family Day is a pink dress shaped like a rose with blue accents and pink trees on the top. In Descendants 3, Audrey wears a pink outfit with the top being translucent with swirls, resembling her mother's iconic pink dress. Upon stealing Maleficent's scepter, Audrey's outfit becomes more corrupted, along with a black cloak and the queen's crown. Her innocent bird rings and bracelets are turned to a darker shade as well.

Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel
Audrey makes her first appearance in the eighteenth chapter. Unlike how she was portrayed in the first film, Audrey appears to be rather air-headed. She was raised a bit more isolated from the world, albeit in a different sense because her mother wanted nothing more than to give Audrey a perfect childhood, free of anything evil and loveless. Ben goes to visit her after his failure at the Royal Council meeting. It's during this time that Ben starts to see they don't share much in common and that this was their first real conversation.

Return to the Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel
Audrey appears early on the Tourney field at the Auradon Knights' practice. She mostly remains a minor character as she stays in the background, completely unaware of what was transpiring around Auradon. Mal uses magic to make her hair resemble Audrey's as she is leaving for the Isle of the Lost with her friends after receiving an anonymous message from the island.

Descendants 3: Audrey's Diary
Audrey's Diary covers several events going even before the events of Descendants and spans all the way to the events that occur in Descendants 3. It at one point explains how she went on a spa vacation (which turns into an extended vacation) with Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. This is mentioned by Jane in Descendants 2. Audrey mentions that it only turned into an extended vacation to Fairy Cottage because her godmothers started teaching her the material that she would have been learning if she was at Auradon. This vacation must have occurred after the events of Rise of the Isle of the Lost since it is mentioned in the novel that Merryweather was teaching Life Skills Without Magic at Auradon Prep.
