𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 to an audition my agent booked me. I was 16 years old when I started to get famous because I played in a Disney Channel series, 'Jessy' alongside Cameron Boyce (rip, cam :( ). Five years later and I was heading to my 10th audition. Now I'm 21 and I can pretend to have bigger roles in the film industry. They already shoot a first movie; it was a huge success. But first, let me introduce you the movie.

𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐘 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 after Belle and Beast married and became king and queen, they established the United States of Auradon, creating a prosperous new nation from the surrounding kingdoms, and banish the villains to the Isle of the Lost, a slum surrounded by a barrier where magic is suspended. Their son, Ben, announced that his first proclamation was to give four selected children from the Isle of the Lost the chance to live in Auradon, away from the influence of their villainous parents: Carlos, son of Cruella De Vil; Jay, son of Jafar; Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen; and Mal, daughter of Maleficent. On the island, Maleficent instructed the quartet to steal the Fairy Godmother's magic wand to release the barrier so she could take over Auradon.

𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 Auradon Prep, the four met Ben and his self-proclaimed girlfriend Audrey, daughter of Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip. They also met the Fairy Godmother, the school's headmistress. Evie used her mother's pocket-sized magic mirror to locate the wand in a nearby museum, and Mal used her mother's spinning wheel from the museum to put the security guard to sleep, but they failed to steal the wand due to a barrier around it. After learning that the Fairy Godmother would use the wand at Ben's coronation, the four waited it out by attending classes, but started to fit in with the students. Jay was recruited into the school's "tourney" team (a sport similar to field hockey and lacrosse), while Carlos overcame his fear of dogs by befriending the school's dog, Dude. Evie, though intelligent, acted vain to impress Chad, Cinderella's son, but ended up doing his homework for him. Dopey's son, Doug, encouraged her not to pander to others and be herself.

𝐌𝐀𝐋 𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐄 popular, using Maleficent's spell book to improve the looks of Jane and Lonnie, the daughters of the Fairy Godmother and Mulan, respectively. Learning that Ben's "girlfriend" would be seated close to the wand during the coronation, which is used during the ceremony, Mal baked a cookie laced with a love potion and gave it to Ben, who fell madly in love with her, much to his friends' shock. On a date with Ben, Mal became conflicted with her inner goodness and desire to please her mother, unsure of how to react to Ben's feelings towards her. During the school's family day, the villains' children were ostracized after an encounter with Audrey's grandmother, Queen Leah, saying that Maleficent's curse was the reason she missed Aurora's childhood, prompting an argument that drove Mal to end the beauty spell she used on Jane. Though Ben, Lonnie and Doug remained friendly towards the quartet, they are forced to distance themselves from them.

𝐀𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐍'𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍, Mal gave him a brownie containing the love spell's antidote, believing it is unnecessary to keep him under the spell. However, Ben revealed he was already freed of the spell since their date when he went swimming in the Enchanted Lake, believing that Mal only did it because she really liked him. During Ben's crowning, a disillusioned Jane grabbed the wand from her mother, wanting to improve her beauty, only for her to accidentally destroy the Isle's barrier. Mal took the wand from Jane, but torn over what to do, is encouraged by Ben to make her own choice rather than follow Maleficent's path. Mal recognized that she and her friends found happiness in Auradon, and they chose to be good.
