Maleficent was born into wealth and privalige. That all changed when she was 16 with the Red Revolution and her father's execution. Her mother took her Kyonin but it was a hard place for a half elven child. Maleficent grew bitter and vowed to be restored to her rightful place. She is a master manipulator and has been eyeing the River Kingdoms as a place to begin rebuilding her power.

I totally love it! I am currently playing a venerable sorcerer witch in our current game and am drawing a lot of inspiration from witches in literature (especially from Disney).
Can you do Snow White's witch next by any chance?

Do you really need Beast Shape I-II and Dragon Shape I when you have the higher-level versions? Beyond that, looks like a perfectly servicable character, if nothing else.
As I read the RAW, higher versions of the spell don't grant you the abilities of the lower level versions. Maybe I am misreading the spell description, or maybe I missed an errata, but that was the thinking behind the spell list.

Regarding Maleficent's spells known: a Sorcerer's spells known should be organic, reflecting the growth of the character's arcane knowledge. I don't see the problem with her knowing lower level versions of her spiffiest spells - after all, she may dole out (if she had any item creation feats) magical trinkets with her lower-end spells built into them to enhance her mini-onions, for example.

Yes, but I could see how for a BBEG, people would not want repetition in the spell list.

Then let them make thier own! *evil laugh* It's your BBEG, make it the way you wish to. maybe she wants to reserver her higher level spell slots.

Nice! But I think she's missing Bestow Curse, and maybe the feat from Complete Arcane that grants a familiar.
I'm really leery about using a feat to bypass the consequences of a character design choice. the feat is intended for classes that would ordinarly NEVER receive a familliar.

I deliberately did not give her a familiar. Diablo seemed more like a treasured pet that had been trained to do some tricks, rather thn a familiar.
