A king and queen, childless for many years, finally succeed in giving birth to a little girl, and invite all the fairies they can think of to celebrate. Unfortunately, they forget or otherwise ignore one, who shows up at the christening anyway and curses the girl to one day prick her finger on a spindle and die. None of the fairies can dispel the curse, but the youngest one succeeds in softening it from death to a death-like sleep.The king and queen order all the spindles in their kingdom to be burnt, but the young princess finds one they happened to miss. She finds an old woman sitting there spinning: in some versions an innocent civilian; in others the Wicked Fairy in disguise. The princess is fascinated and asks if she can try spinning. Predictably, the moment she picks it up, the curse comes into effect, and she, accompanied by the rest of the castle, falls into a deep sleep.Many years later, a prince (sometimes a king) makes his way into the now-overgrown sleeping castle, and finds the princess. He wakes her (iconically with a kiss) and they fall in love and marry (and eventually have offspring).Unfortunately, his mother, who has ogre blood, is jealous of the prince's new wife, and when the prince leaves on matters of state, she demands to have the princess's young children, and then the princess herself, killed and cooked for her supper. The cook manages to hide the unfortunate family and fool the queen with various cooked animals instead. This all comes to naught when the queen hears the princess and her kids at the cook's house, however, and she prepares a big pot of nasty, venemous creatures to kill them. Fortunately, the prince arrives home just in time, and the queen falls into the pot of nasties, dying a Karmic Death and leaving everyone to live Happily Ever After. (In an alternate ending, the queen, thinking wife and kids are safely dead, realizes her son may not be so happy about that and tries to pass herself off as the princess. The prince works it out by asking the marriage bed. Queen is duly put to death and prince is reunited with princess and kids.)This, at least, is the full plot of the Charles Perrault version of the tale. In most modern versions, starting with the Grimms' "Briar Rose" (Dornröschen), the second part of the story, in which the princess must cope with the jealous queen, is omitted. The Grimms in fact included the German version of this part as a separate tale (called "The Mother-in-Law"), ending with the king sentencing his own mother to death.Still older versions of the same tale type, among them "Sun, Moon, and Talia", replace the prince with an already married king. In these versions, he rapes the princess while she lies sleeping and she gives birth to twins before waking up when one of the babies sucks the splinter out of her finger. The cannibalistic queen in this case is the king's wife. Compare "The Brown Bear of the Green Glen".Unsurprisingly, Disney disregarded these earlier versions when they animated Sleeping Beauty in 1959, following the Grimms in omitting the whole second part of Perrault's tale, and incorporating several songs from the 1890 Sleeping Beauty ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.Curse of Briar Rose, the first of the Dark Parables games, uses a sort of composite of the Grimm and Perrault versions to create a backstory for the sleeping princess, who has been sealed inside a castle in Scotland for a thousand years. When the prince kissed her, it woke up everyone in the castle except her, and he himself died from her curse. Now, the seal on the castle is broken, and giant briar plants are escaping into the city. Briar Rose herself is a significant character in the series, and more parts of her story are revealed as the subsequent games unfold.There's also an anime version that's a part of Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics (from 1989), based on the Grimms' "Briar Rose".Both the Perrault text and the Grimms' "Briar Rose" can be read online. | |

True Love's Kiss | |
| Sleeping Beauty / int_1777836c | comment |
True Love's Kiss: In Perrault's version, the princess wakes by herself when the prince enters her chamber; in the Grimms' version, the prince wakes her with a kiss. However, both times the prophesied 100 years of sleep were up, so even in "Briar Rose" the kiss is not the condition to break the curse. | |

RevengeSVP | |
| Sleeping Beauty / int_366e6748 | comment |
RevengeSVP: The wicked fairy takes not being invited to the baptismal celebrations rather personally. In Matthew Bourne's adaptation, the wicked fairy herself allowed the king and queen to have the child in the first place. Unfortunately, the king forgot to invite her to the baptismal celebrations afterward, and the wicked fairy took the apparent lack of gratitude personally and vowed her revenge. Meanwhile, an animated version of the story produced by Walter Lantz eventually reveals that the wicked fairy was actually invited all along (her invitation was just misplaced), with her being the one who gets the prince to kiss Sleeping Beauty as a means of fixing her mistake. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality: In Perrault's version, the sleep that falls over the rest of the castle is not part of the curse, but an additional enchantment cast by the good fairy over the castle's servants so that the Princess will not have to wake up alone and without aid in a hundred years. Nobody bothers to ask the servants how they feel about waking up in a hundred years with all their family and friends dead. | |

Fairy Godmother | |
| Sleeping Beauty / int_8bd9ed0f | comment |
Fairy Godmother: At her birth, Sleeping Beauty is visited by benign fairies who make good wishes for her life (in Charles Perrault there are seven, in the Grimms there are twelve). However, after they made their initially good wishes, the fairies do not return to aid Sleeping Beauty (though the seventh fairy in Perrault's version puts the rest of the palace to sleep so the princess won't be lonely when she awakens). Many variants including "Sun, Moon, and Talia", the oldest known variant, have no fairy godmothers. | |
