Dahlia is a minor character featured in Disney's animated film, Sleeping Beauty. She is one of the three good fairies, along with Flora and Fauna, who attend Princess Aurora's christening.

Dahlia's defining characteristic is her gift of beauty to the infant princess. While Flora bestows the gift of beauty, Dahlia enhances that gift with grace. This combination ensures Aurora is not only beautiful but also possesses elegant and refined movements.

Unlike Flora and Fauna, Dahlia is often overlooked when discussing the fairies. She does not directly combat Maleficent's curse, as Flora and Fauna do with their modifications. Nevertheless, Dahlia's gift is a crucial element in shaping Aurora's personality and appeal, contributing to the overall narrative of the film.

While not as prominent as her counterparts, Dahlia is a significant member of the trio of good fairies, representing the important element of grace within the blessings given to Princess Aurora.
