Merryweather, Fauna and Flora as they appear originally in Sleeping Beauty
After being invited to the christening of infant Princess Aurora, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather attended the ceremony and brought magical gifts for the girl, once Merryweather attempted to conjure her gift, Maleficent entered the room and cursed Aurora, Merryweather was the one to change the curse so it would not kill the girl but instead place her into a slumber on her sixteenth birthday.

To keep her safe, Queen Leah and King Stefan allowed the fairies to raise their daughter elsewhere and for sixteen years, the three raised Aurora as Briar Rose and acted as her aunts, during Aurora's birthday, the three sent her out and used the time to create presents for her in the form of a dress, Merryweather and Flora's constant use of magic changing the dress from blue to pink caused Diablo to locate where Aurora was hidden, another gift the fairies had for her was a large, towering cake that only remained supported by a broom. On Aurora's return, she mentioned how she would be seeing the young man she saw in the forest though the fairies forbade it, admitting the truth to her and taking her home that night.
Allowing the girl to grieve, the three fairies left Aurora alone but upon remembering the curse, they entered and found it empty, in a higher room they found Aurora already asleep by Maleficent, the three placed a sleeping spell on the entire kingdom and went to get Prince Phillip's help and aided him in his battle to stop Maleficent, after the latter was killed, the three woke the entire kingdom and watched as Aurora danced with her true love as Flora and Merryweather continued to change the dress form pink to blue once more.
