In his asylum, D'Arque subjects the charmantes to hideous experimentation for years on end to 'torture the magic out of them', implementing 11th-century torture tactics in his research and cheerfully apathetic to the number of charmantes who die either from torture or suicide. D'Arque, a member of the supernatural charmante people, hates his own people and experiments to take out the magical parts of himself to embrace his delusional idea of pure-blooded humanity.

As Old as Time: Monsieur D'Arque, full name Frédéric D'Arque, is the owner of the local Bedlam House whose history goes back with Belle's own father Maurice.

Though seeming to have gained the slightest hint of care for Aurora during their time in the dream world, Maleficent ultimately rejects these feelings, murdering Aurora's parents and killing innocent people just to torment her while mocking the woman over her coming fate as Maleficent's bodyjacked puppet.

Rejuvenating herself by brutally murdering people in the dream world- which kills them in the real world-and using their blood in rituals, Maleficent eventually drops the façade of the dream world, indulging in full-on slaughter of dozens of people for both their life forces as well as just for fun.

After her original plan to curse Aurora when she was a baby to die on the day of her 16th birthday fails, Maleficent, struck dead by Prince Phillip, uses the last of her energy to trap the minds of Aurora and the entire kingdom in a dream world until Maleficent can gain power to possess Aurora's body. Once Upon a Dream: Maleficent is the cruel, dark mistress of all evil in the story, dedicated to tormenting Aurora and prolonging her own life.These few, however, stand out in sheer vileness: Complete Monster: In these Darker and Edgier Disney What If? stories, many characters are made much worse than their canon counterparts.While some readers have no problem with it, fans of Tangled: The Series see this as a sudden excuse to ignore the show since the storyteller would reasonably be unfamiliar with it. Ass Pull: What Once Was Mine uses a The Princess Bride-inspired Framing Device, when the rest of the series are told as direct retellings.
